Family Vacation


Also this month we went to my uncles wedding in Southern Utah and had a wonderful time. We met up with my cousins, aunts, uncles and numerous other family members. It was a fun filled weekend. We started the weekend with a Halloween party for the kids. The kids loved it and it was fun to see them all dressed up. They played games together and were so excited to see each other.
The next evening was spent riding horses, riding quads, playing in the bounce house, and ending our evening around a warm cozy fire. The big boys also enjoyed being kids and wrestling, until someone enevitably gets hurt. (Tim fractured a rib.) It was so much fun. (For everybody except my dad who was very ill after getting into town.)

The next morning was a layed back morning of breakfast and wedding in the park. It was a casual wedding near the base of Zion National Park. The weather and scenery were beautiful. After the wedding it was onto a delicious bbq and more visiting while the kids played in the park and the parents hula hooped!! (My poor dad missed this too.) Here are some pictures of the day. My uncle played one of his beautiful flutes that he makes.

The next day should have been our goodbyes. Most of us left, but Tim and I stayed a bit longer enjoying another couple of days with the kids riding quads and visiting. (oh ya and waiting for my dad to get out of the hospital.)
Overall it was great for most of us. It was so nice seeing my cousins and their kids again. We miss you guys!!

Neglected

Ok what else can I say, but I suck. I have not blogged in nearly a month. And what a month it has been. So I will try to catch up. It may have to be a few back to back blogs!

This month we had a visit from Tim's brother Darren. He is engaged to a wonderful girl named Linda. They just celebrated the birth of their beautiful daughter Annabeth in August. We had so much fun visiting with them and getting to see them as parents too. Here is a picture of Aidan and Annabeth. He wasn't sure what to think of her, but was fasinated by her.
