Love/Hate relationship

London was 4 months when she met my twin Brad for the first time. Brad of course fell in love right away...
London... well she wasn't too sure. {I think it was the facial hair}
She started warming up quickly though......
oh, no, still not sure.... maybe next time.
Balloons make the world go round...
...when you're 1 1/2 they do.
Diamonds are a girls best friend.
bling! bling!

I completely forgot about the pictures from Utah that were on my Canon. These are some shots from my grandparent's 60th Anniversary.

P. 5 The 4th

It was a CRAZY fun day and these are all the pictures I got.

P. 4 Heritage Park

Bret and I got up early Friday morning to go hike Timpanogos and see the caves. We did not call ahead, we did not make a reservation so after the 1.5 hour drive we got out stretched, saw the line and turned around and went home. My kind of hiking :)

{Bret dominated that mountain, mentally that is}
After our long drive we hooked up with the whole family and went to Heritage Park in SLC.

{5 minutes after we got to the park Kingston wanted up}
{The best place for treats and old fashion toys}
{Most of the grand kids on the mini train}
{My favorite is the petting zoo. I want one!}
{Kingston's favorite was all the trains. "I Choo choo!"}
{Lo was a dream, as usual}

P. 3 Game Day

My sister Missi put together an impressive day of exciting events and games including....

{Cracker Whacker}

Card games... never ending card games. {take notice of the tinkerbell cards}

Blob of Children game... haha idk the name of this game

Buried Treasure {as in fake coins buried in sawdust}

and stick your face in something gross relay race.

{Steven rocked the water bucket}

{Mmmm, Pudding}

{nothing like a face full of cold jello}

{this is before the slurping and slopping of children digging in w/ their faces}

{Oh and Bret go tore up on the giant Tarzan swing... literally}

P.3 Cracker Whacker

Q: Why are these children chasing each other with rolled up newspapers? Even more importantly why do they have crackers hanging from their cute little bums?
A: Because it's hilarious! My dad put this activity together and it was the funniest game ever!

This is easily in my top 3 favorite things from our vacation. Too bad the video of the adults playing is to large to upload. {we're talking blackmail material}.

Following Orders

I've been ordered to post something else already... Here it goes.

We went to Utah for a week for my family reunion...

{Blessed portable DVD player)

On the way up, we stopped in Panguich to visit Tami & Ryne and to take part in the hot-air balloon festival.
