A Quick Triip to Las Vegas!!

Dennis and I decided we needed to go see where Mike and Jodi were living ... so made a quick trip (left about 6 p.m. Friday and returned by 6 p.m. Sunday!). Diane went with us too. We didn't manage to get any pictures of their beautiful home ... just their wonderful pool! Here Dennis and I enjoying the great water!

Here's McKay ... demonstrating the 'backside of water' ... from the Jungle Cruise ride!! Pretty cute!!

Talmage ... in the hot tub!! The water was really quite warm ... but the hot tub felt good in the evening. They are going to get a lot of good use out of that pool!! (Next time I will have to get some of the house!!)

Celebrating our Birthdays!

We went to Texas Roadhouse ... a yummy restaurant in Lehi ... with our kids and they TOLD them it was our Birthdays .. so, you have to get on the saddle and everyone gives a huge "YeeHaw" ... all in fun, but I will not let them do that to us again!! Thanks kids for a fun evening.

David and Jen PLUS 10 came for a visit.

Dennis took David, Dallin and Tyler on a ride up on Skyline Drive. Dennis and Dallin were on the 4-wheeler and David was on the old DR Suzuki ... and Tyler on their Honda 200. They were gone about 2 hours. Jen and I and the other 8 stayed behind and they took turns riding my 4-wheeler. They all had a great time.

We roasted hot dogs for lunch ... but wait ... there are all the chairs, but where are the kids??? (Jacob is on the swing ... here's Jen, David and Dennis ... relaxing) The rest are out on rides. Amazing how they can entertain themselves! We let Nathan, Bailey and Kelly ride the younger ones around the loop (after a bit of training on our neighbors loop and some strict instructions regarding speed, which they all obeyed).

Here's some of them ... Dallin, Nathan, Carter, Peyton, Tyler, Jen and David ... it was a fun day!! When they arrived we couldn't help commenting on how amazing it is to see all '12' of them come out of their suburban! Dennis and I also noticed how great they get along and the patience and love that is shown by their parents. We are in awe at what you are doing guys ... and love you for it.

Zachary and Carter both got new hiking sticks from Grandpa. (Zach said it was the best part of the day ... he was so excited) They used them and went exploring. Thanks for coming guys - we all had a great time.
