Our Utah Trip Part 2

This is a little hiking expedition we went on and Jeff was having to fight off the girls!

Down by the waterfalls. Do we look cold yet? We were a little under dressed for the trip up in the mountains. It was cold. By the time we reached the top of the mountain our car said it was 48 degrees outside. A little chilly for shorts and a t shirt.

Kayla and momma enjoying the views and trying to stay warm.

Curtis was a trooper and still gets around pretty good considering he has to use the crutches.

My kids really enjoy hiking especially Keaton. He takes after his dad and always has a good time.

Say Cheese!!!

We celebrated Jason's grandmother turning 80 with a very special dinner with her family. It was good to see everyone on the Tolsma side and share her special day with her! I hope I am just as fun and adventurous as she is when I turn 80!

What a cute couple they make!

The birthday girl and her son Curtis

We all came in especially for her birthday.

Jason's brother and sisters with their dad.

She is lucky to have such a big family that cares about her so much!

Cute picture of JoJ o and Grandma Tolsma

I love this picture of my two little monkeys. Don't they look sweet and innocent?

Cousin Tyler joins in. They don't look a lot like cousins but they sure act like each other and always have a blast when their together.

Aunt JoAnna and Uncle Robert treated Keaton and took him to the nickelcade for his birthday. All the games take nickels instead of quarters. We were here for a long time and everyone had a blast.

Aunt Jo is enjoying herself.

Shooting some hoops!

Everyone got in on the fun. As parents we don't get to play arcade games very often. We're always saving our quarters for the kids.

Tyler and Kaden riding in their hot rods!

The boys throwing rocks in the water at Zions National Park. They had an awesome time and we had a hard time getting them out of the water even though it was freezing cold on their little feet. What is it with boys and rocks?

Keaton is 7!

This is the cake Keaton wanted for his birthday this year.

He had his party this year at Jump 2 It which is another indoor inflatables park. We like these alot. He had a great party and a very good time with his friends!

Birthday Boy!

Playing air hockey with momma and I just scored on him!! Oh Yeah!

Happy Birthday to Keaton! I didn't get a picture of it on our camera but there is this huge chair kind of like a throne that they blow up for the birthday boy to sit on and unwrap his gifts. I think this is the part Keaton was most excited about because we've been to several parties here and they only let the person that is having the birthday sit on it. He was excited to finally be able to sit on the big chair!

Monkey Joes and Tennesse

This is where my boys could spend hours. This is the model railroad museum in Chattanooga. We stopped by on our way home from Jenny's house one weekend. They loved it and I would definitely reccomend it for Tyler (Jenny and Ben).

You can walk around and see all the trains kind of like Union Station in Ogden. There are a couple of restaurants that are in the actual train cars that you can eat at but they were all closed on this day. Would be a fun weekend trip to go again sometime.

Daddy couldn't say no to the Merry Go Round.

It was a good break for them to stretch their legs before getting back in the car again.

This is cousin Tyler and he was enjoying his oreos at our picnic!

The oreos were a hit with everybody, not surprising. We went to Jenny's house for a quick weekend to see Jason's grandma that was in town and to drop Kayla off to spend some quality time with her aunt for 5 days. She had a blast and was introduced to Grease over her stay and now we have to endure the soundtrack All the time now- thanks Jenny!

Kaden loves stuffed animals and these have to sleep with him every night. There isn't much room left in the bed for him.

This is Monkey Joe's, an inflatable playground near our house. I took the boys here to celebrate Keaton's graduation from kindergarten.

They have an awesome time and wear themselves out which makes for a nice afternoon for everyone!!

Oh to be a kid!

He's ready for first grade now!
