Zion, Utah

We stayed in a cabin for two nights at the Zion Ponderosa Resort.

We had our own hot tub, so the kids and I relaxed in it while Shane was running in his Ragnar trail race.

This is the beautiful view from the deck of our cabin.

Shane camped out one night with his Ragnar team in -35 below weather, while the boys and I were warm and cozy in our cabin.

The boys and I decided to explore the resort, Michael was all geared up for the zip line.

He did pretty good, I don't think I would have been brave enough to do it.

Matthew and I went on a pony ride.

The guide was going to take Matthew with him at first, but Matthew wasn't too keen on that.  So they were kind enough to let me go with him.  The horse he rode was named "Pepsi".

The resort had a pretty cool pool and water slides.  It was too bad the pool was freezing, but that didn't stop Michael from enjoying it.

Michael would slide down into the freezing pool, hurry to get out, and climb into the hot tub.

The resort had mini golf, which we all played together after Shane was finished with his race.

Matthew was so cute once he got the hang of it.

Michael was our water ball retriever.

We went into the park on our last day in Zion.

Of course Michael forgot his jacket at the restaurant we ate at, so putting his arms inside his shirt was the only way to keep warm.

There were some pretty amazing views.  Matthew got pretty dirty here, but at least he had fun. :)

Our last stop was to get a picture of us and the arch in the background!

It was so nice to be up in the mountains.  We had a fun few days for sure!!

Fall Break in Utah

Matthew and I went to Utah for about 1 1/2 weeks to visit my family.  While there we drove to Boise to visit my younger brother, Trent and his family for a couple days.  Matthew loved riding this bike around on their sidewalk.  He still can't get the hang of peddling, hopefully one day he will!

Snack time!  We had fun visiting them, and Matthew enjoyed playing all day with some of his cousins.

My parent's and I stayed in a hotel while we were there, so we all went back to the hotel to go swimming.

I'm holding my newest little nephew, Gavin.

When we came back to Utah we took the train to the City Creek Center in Salt Lake.

It's the most amazing mall I've seen, and there were neat water fountains to look at.

Matthew playing in the splash pad.

My sister-in-law, Mindi invited us to their ward Halloween Carnival in Kaysville.  Matthew wasn't really into any of the other games, but for some reason he loved this one! :)

Matthew hanging out with his Kaysville cousins, and Grandma.

We had a get-together at my parent's club house.  The cousins went swimming, and everyone loved playing with Matthew since they don't see him very often.  He's holding hands with his cousin Brianna.

His cousin Sam is always so good to play with him, and Matthew loves the attention.

Here are some of my family, I think we lost most of them in the movie theater right behind the table.  

We always enjoy visiting and making fun memories.
