Coming Home

Finally it's time to pick up daddy and start our trek back to Texas. We drove from SLC to Denver the first day, then the next day we drove from Denver to Kansas where we were spending the 4th of July weekend.

Here are the kids waiting for daddy

The really loved riding the people movers at the airport.

Here is Jack just chillin in the car while we were driving.

Once we got to Denver, we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese to play and let them get out their energies.



It was a long long drive. But now let's look at pictures from Kansas....

Our last day

Well, we survived our last day here. Barely. My kids have been in quite a mood all day. I am thinking that they are just ready to go home. I am too. Stuart flies in tomorrow and we start our trek home.
Today was okay fun. We met up with Stuart's cousin and her kids. Chloe was pretty excited. And would you believe I forgot my camera?!? I was so upset. I took a few pictures with my camera phone so the quality is just not great. We went to the Childrens Gardens at Thanksgiving Point.

Afterwards we had manditory rest time. Then tonight we had dinner at the park with my Mom and Robin. I forget my camera again! UGH! What a day huh? We're ready to leave I think. We've had such a fun vacation though! I am hoping to update while were vacationing in Kansas before we come home. So check back! See you all Texans soon!

Monday Madness

Wow. What a day. We sure had fun though. Chloe and I had our Lagoon day. We were there for 8 1/2 hours. We pretty much rode ever single ride that she could except the two biggest rollercoasters. We had a BLAST! We met up with some friends and had a fantastic time. Here are pictures of our day.

Chloe showing her stamp. Ready for action

Riding the tram.

I'm not entirely sure what we are riding here....

Waiting to ride the Log Flume. We had ridden the Rattlesnake Rapids before and I got completely soaked. I had the camera put away, so there are no pictures of that.

Stopping for some dippin dots!

Chloe and her friend Tori. They had SO much fun together and always wanted to ride together without mommy (for the most part)

Lou, Tori and Chloe. We were riding the Tidal Wave. SO fun!

Chloe and Tori swinging.

Waiting to ride the Wild Mouse. That ride is nuts.

Chloe and Tori making a point that they ARE big enough to ride most of the rides. Chloe was just barely 46in. They made her check every single time. It was kinda annoying!

What idiot made them have to post this sign??

Chloe getting ready to ride the Spider. I can't believe she rode it!

Mommy and Chloe

Waiting to ride the bat. Patiently!

And the day comes to a close...

What a fantastic day! Chloe had a blast as well as I did. It was especially fun to play with friends!

Tomorrow is our last day here then Wednesday we make our trek to Kansas for the weekend. Have a great week everyone!

Super Sunday

It was a pretty good Sunday. We started our day off by going to the Ward that we were in right before we moved to Texas. It was okay, other then the fact that my kids were complete monsters! The whole room was pretty quiet (there are alot of older folks) and then there were mine, making all the noises! Joy.
Afterwards we drove the Alpine Loop (up through American Fork and Provo canyons) with my mom and stopped at Cascades Springs to walk around a bit.
We got home late afternoon and had dinner with Uncle John and Aunt Mary and just hung out at thier house.

Here are the kids with Great Granny Miller (Stuarts Grandma)

Chloe was a touch onry. can you tell?

Jack and Brooke in a tree.

Isn't it pretty?

Cute kids.

Going for a tractor ride. Jack was in heaven!

Uncle John taking the kids on the 4 wheeler

The kids had fun this evening playing in the river in Marys backyard.



Todays been a pretty good day. Bed time though. We have a busy day. Brooke and Jack are spending the day with Grandma Perry and I'm taking Chloe to Lagoon. Look for really fun pictures tomorrow!

Saturday

Hey everyone. I took a whopping 8 pictures today. Go me huh? We really didn't do a whole lot. We decided not (well, I decided not) to take the kids to the parade. I wasn't up for keeping them contained and all that. So we decided to go see the movie Wall.e None of us really liked it. Chloe said she was bored and Brooke kept asking when it was going to be over. Just an FYI if you want to see it. Then they were just being onry, so we had a mandatory nap today. We all slept 2 hours!
This evening we met up with some of my family on my dads side for dinner at the park. Afterwards Grandma Perry watched the kids while Robin and I went out a bit. It was on OK day. We needed a downer day after all the fun we've been having!
So, here are a few pictures

The kids seeing the chickens at Aunt Marys house before we left.


Our adventure at the movie theater.



I'll take alot more pictures tomorrow :)
