The two most amazing boys you will ever meet.

Jayce and Alek are so funny. They come up with the strangest things. When we visited the swinging bridge we went outside of Utah very briefly. The boys were totally fascinated that we left Utah. They kept going on and on about it. On our way back into Utah it all became clear to me when the boys insisted we get a picture of them in front of the "Welcome to Utah" sign as proof of them re-entering the "country". It makes me wonder what they think when we go to California?
I am not sure how this happened, but not only did I get one picture of Grant, I got two. AND he is smiling. I have since tried to get another, but have been unsuccesful.
I will continue to try. Who knows, fourteen years from now I may get lucky again!





I love this picture of "the man". The only thing I don't like is that he is standing on a 300 ft cliff. I think that may be why is smiling. He knew I was freaking out, and he loved watching me squirm.

The Swinging Bridge

The swinging bridge is suspended about 100 feet above the Green River. It has wooden planks connected to one another and metal cables hooked to the rocks to keep the bridge suspended.
Grant and Alek were brave enough to drive across it first. The bridge squeaks and sways as you drive across.
Check it out!
You might have to turn your computer. I couldn't get it to rotate. Sorry!



And then they made me go. SCARY!!!!

Our new home...
It's a bit of a fixer upper, but we got an awesome deal.
And...

It comes with a guest house! I think you will really like it mom.

Merry Christmas!!!

So the count down has started. Every morning my kids remind me how many days are left until Christmas. As of today we are down to fifteen. We have enjoyed the Christmas season so far. December 1st we brought out all our decorations and transfigured our home into a winter wonderland. Jayce and Alek got to decorate the tree all by themselves this year while Grant and I went to the temple. The front of the tree is gorgeous. But the back, well it is barren. Alek said he didn't want to waist any of the decorations on the back of the tree where no one could see them. He's got at point!

Good Times

On one of our Saturday drives we ended up at Remember the Maine park. It's a really fun LITTLE park nestled in Dry Fork Canyon. It is very beautiful. Across the street is a canyon wall with a painting about 100 feet above the road. I am not sure what it is in remembrance of (other than Pearl Harbor) but it is fun to visit.

Poor Jayce didn't have much fun. While running on the playground one of the steps from a slide jumped right out and kicked him in the shin. Or so says Jayce. He had a nasty scrape and some colorful bruises to prove it. And me being the ever sweet mother that I am, took pictures of Jayce in pain instead of comforting him.


Ok, I did comfort him. Alek on the other hand...who knows?


















Throwing rocks in the river can make any body feel better. So that's what we did.
