Lil' trip to The Valley

We are kinda getting back to our old routine around here. It is hard to be gone for a week and then get back to reality. It was a fun trip and the boys thought that it was a dream come true.

We stayed with LeAnn (thanks leann) for the first two nights up in Salt Lake. One of our favorite family spots is the Dino park in Ogden so we hit that first off!
oley was asleep for the first half (or more) of our little adventure so that is why there aren't very many pictures of him. When he finally did decide to join us, THIS is what he woke up to! Even the dino man himself (daws) is a little nervous of this big character! It is so life like and growls and blinks and moves just like what you would imagine a trex would....
The next day Lane, Lisa, LeAnn, and Todd ripped apart LeAnn's kitchen. She is remodeling the WHOLE thing so they needed it ALL down...fun stuff! Can't wait to see it all put back together!

We then went to the Anniversary Sale which I thoroughly enjoyed! Lane got some work shoes and I got a few items myself!
The next day we cruised around Orem and did lots of errands. We went to J Dawgs for our hot dog fix. We then took the boys to the Scera pool and it was a real HOT day! We swam for a little over 3 hours in a warm pool cuz the sun was heaten it up! Like an IDIOT I sprayed down my kids and rubbed in the sunscreen BUT only got a little on my arms before I was running towards the water to make sure they didn't dive in! I got a major burn! I mean SCORCHED! It is to the peeling stage now and quite itchy but I did learn my lesson ONCE again! You would think after 31 years of multiple sunburns I would learn my lesson....nope! (sorry no pictures) When my Aunt Jen saw me her eyes got big and she said "Why you so dumb?!" I don't know why, I just am!
We also went to Kangaroo Zoo which was a SUPER fun place! We went pretty close to closing time so we didn't get to enjoy it as long as we would have liked but it was still a nice way to wear out the boys! (they both fell asleep from 3:30 to 7:70) So we needed something to suck out some energy if ya know what I mean.


We had a family dinner at Les and Mel's house on Sunday which was delish and fun. I was 2nd runner up on the Wii Fitness! (next to les) I was 26! Can I getta Woot Woot!?!

Monday morning we packed it up and did said our goodbye's and took Coley to his Dr. apt. at Primary Children's. Can I just say what a GREAT hospital that is? I honestly thought to myself, "if i lived closer, wasn't a mom of 2 boys, and didn't love doing hair so much, I would totally wanna work there!" Maybe I shoulda went to Medical School. HA Can you just see me, in Med School?? Yeah, neither can I! Maybe I could be a nurse or a administrator or something. I just liked the people there and the kids were SO dang cute too!

Ok well that wasn't every detail if you can believe it. We were their a whole week and while it was fun it was NICE to get home! There is no place like home....... right?!
(sorry for the picture overload. i am wishing i would have done them small so this post didn't seem sooo ginormous..... ah well!)

We really should get together soon though...maybe I should make a run to Idaho one of these days! Anyways, you and your fabulous family always keep me laughing!!
