Utah Week 4: Park City

Tuesday we met Michelle, Jackie, and her kids in Park City for a couple hours to let the kids play. 
 
Jackie and Josh going down the Alpine Slide...
 
 Tyce and me...
 Jackson and Josh ready to do the zip line...


 They loved it!  I'm so glad they're brave about trying new things...
 We grabbed lunch...


 Then they did the Legacy Launcher...

 Josh was the only one his age to do three backflips in a row...

 And that's about as high as Tyce got, hahaha...
 Jackson did two back flips...


It was a fun day, not too hot and not too crowded and the kids had a blast!  After Park City we headed out to Neola for the rest of the week...including Tyce's 4th birthday!  Post to come soon!

Utah Week 4: Trip Down Memory Lane in Ogden

Sunday night and Monday Parker and I spent in Ogden, Utah where we lived for three years when we were first married!  It was so fun to reminisce about the "good ol days" before kids, law school debt, and real life.  A lot of Ogden was different but a lot was still the same and it brought back so many memories of our life back then.
 
We went to breakfast at our favorite place, Jeremiah's...
Our apartment, #90, looks exactly the same as ten years ago! 
Ah Millcreek Manor, such memories...
We went to visit Weber State, where we both graduated from and where Parker played football.  We headed over to the stadium and met the new head coach and Parker ran into some former players he knew.  It was fun to see him on the field again  :)  Sexy quarterback turned attorney  :) 
It was a fun day that went by way too fast, I loved being with Parker there and remembering the beginning of our lives together.  I LOVE YOU BABE!!

Next post: More fun in Neola!

Utah Week 3: McCall Part 2

Toward the middle of the week Jackson and Josh decided to knee-board together, it was so cute!  Jackson also did lots of 360s!  Josh tried once, fell, and didn't want to try again. 
 

Jackson tried wakeboarding and didn't get up, but I was proud of him for trying and I bet he'll get it next year...

Utah Week 3: McCall Part 1

Sunday we left Boise and drove two hours to McCall, Idaho to spend a week in a house on Payette Lake.  It is SUCH a beautiful place and we so enjoy having a house right on the lake.  The kids had a fantastic time playing together and they all love grandpa's boat.  Our week was spent on the lake, in the boat, in the sand, at the fire pit, playing games, eating yummy food, and lots and lots of fun and laughter.  I took lots of pics so I decided to do two posts...

The night we got there Grandpa took the kids on a little ride around the lake...

 Jackson knee boarded for the first time and loved it...

 He was pretty proud of himself getting up on his own his first try...
 Joshy did it too...


 Tyce loved riding in the boat and almost daily he took a little snooze in it...
 They all LOVED tubing!  Both Jackson and Josh flipped out a couple times...

 Jack and Grandma...
 Playing in the sand...



Jackson and Josh, but especially Josh, just ADORE their cousin Luke.  Josh is so responsible and sweet looking after him and playing with him.  He was super excited to find out they had matching jammies...
Livi, Grandpa, and Jackson...
 Roasting marshmallows...
 Tyce eating his "smo"...
Love this pic, Parker flew in Wednesday and we were all SO excited to see him but probably Jackson missed him the most, he is such a daddy's boy...

Jackson and Josh and Grandma and Grandpa....
More pics to come!
