This morning we got up early, picked up Alec and his friend and drove down to Provo to drop the kids off at EFY. The girls were SO excited! The boys and Kirstyn were excited to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday without having their older sisters around! 🙂 When we got down […]
This morning, we got up, ate breakfast, packed everything up and started our drive back down into Utah. As we drove through Franklin, ID, we stopped and saw Angela’s grandmother’s old stone home that is still there, and then drove over to visit the grave of her Aunt Ann. It is amazing to see how
The past two days have been a lot of fun! Most of our time we have spent swimming in the pool. Downata is a hot springs and so the pool was very warm on very warm days. It took some time to get used to the hot water in hot weather, but the kids had
Today we had a very busy day! We got up early, ate breakfast, and then the boys and I wandered a round the ski village for awhile. We took lots of pictures and had a great time! Too bad we couldn’t have spent more time there, got day passes, and then went on the alpine
We got up early this morning, had breakfast at the hotel, and then drove to Park City, Utah to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday, Chantelle, and the boys. They were really excited to see us. They have a timeshare with Marriott and they have a nice place up in Park City, right at

Today, Kirstyn harvested her first vegetables from the garden! They were beautiful radishes and she was very happy about that as you can tell from the picture! 🙂 She can’t wait to see what comes up next! The garden is looking a little dead right now due to the intense heat and lack of rain.
Well, only one more year until she can date… That’s the first and foremost thing on Brittany’s mind today on her 15th birthday! She is quite the funny girl and she definitely keeps our family laughing at how boy-crazy she is! 🙂 It’s hard to believe that our little “itty bitty” is already 15 and
Today, Ben and Zach started swimming lessons at Philips Waterpark. They are so excited to swim, and Zach thinks he’s a pro already! 🙂 It was so much fun to watch the two boys (in swim lanes right next to each other) work with their teachers and see how well they caught on. Ben is
Today, Ben and Zach saw the Aurora Fire Department testing out the fire hydrant in our yard and could not resist going out to check things out! The firemen were really nice and let them hang around. Then they got a picture with Ben and Zach! Quite funny! After that, Ben told me he wanted
Last night and this morning, Ben, Zach, and I had our annual Fathers and Son’s Campout with the ward. We had a GREAT time! Zach was VERY excited (as usual), and Ben was happy as well. This was Ben’s first trip. He was a little nervous because he didn’t know what to expect, but as
