Sliding and Gliding in the Mountains

We spent an afternoon in the mountains! I hope our boys will appreciate what a beautiful world our Heavenly Father has created for us. It was a perfect day--blue skies, a few clouds-- and amazing views of it all. At Snowbird, we rode the tram up and down the mountain and then I rode the Alpine Slide with each of the boys.

See You Later, Grandma

We were so happy to have you here, Grandma! There were a lot of fun adventures, good times, and some relief for me :).

Picnic in the Backyard

A Roll Through the Gardens

We got her on the trampoline!

Love you, Mom! Thanks again for coming!!!

The Great Salt Lake

We got one more thing checked off of our list of Things to Do Before We Leave Utah--we floated in the Great Salt Lake!

Sharks and Bubblegum Ice Cream

We escaped the shark attack and got some ice cream . . .

As you can see, he thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and picking out all the bubblegum to eat at the end.

. . . In the Rain

I wasn't exactly Singing In the Rain on Friday, but I was . . .

Royal Treatment

My mom is here! She is keeping me sane while Eric is away for work.

She received royal treatment today. Kyler was set on bringing her breakfast in bed (he said because she's too old to come up the stairs for breakfast :) Ha ha. ). So the boys woke her up this morning with a plate of eggs, toast, and yogurt.

Kyler wanted her to sleep in his bed last night, but she ended up in the guest room in the basement because he decided she's too short to climb up into his big bed.

My mom's really not too old or too short, but we laughed a lot at his perception.

This morning Grandma got a high-profile tour of some of the most prestigious hangouts around town--the parks. We walked her up, down, and all around the neighborhood so she could see the 5 parks we frequent. We first went by the Church Park and then made a stop at the Park with Swings. We then headed all the way up the hill to the Fishy Park. After a long rest under a shady tree, we started for home and passed by the Basketball Park and the Soccer Practice Park.

We must have wore her out because now she's taking a nap. :) She's preparing for our next adventures . . .

Sugarland

Radio: That song was by the band Sugarland.
Kacin: Sugarland?
Kyler: Sugarland is NOT healthy.
