our fun trip to slc =) pics are way out of order though =)

WARNING! THERE ARE A TON OF PICTURES AND I SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE MADE A SLIDE SHOW, BUT OH WELL. :) AND THEY ARE OUT OF ORDER. OOPS. :)


We all went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was very pretty inside.

our last night in Salt Lake the kids all camped out in the living room and watched BOLT.

Madelynne's birthday party was the 18th and she had a lot of fun. She was so excited we were cracking up.

She was soooo excited to see her new scooter.

more birthday fun...she's 4 now! wow!

fun fun!

licking the candles after she pulled them out.

Madelynne picked out her cake...i was lazy and didn't make it this year. :)

This is Jumpin' Jacks. It's a warehouse filled with fun obstacle courses, slides, bounce houses all air filled and for any age. It was lots of fun. I was sooo sore by the time I crawled into bed that night. Wow!

Tali was the instigator of throwing kids down the tall slides. They loved it. Way fun!

This is one of the smaller slides, the big one we didnt get pictures of since we were all on it at the same time. lol

this was an obstacle course that ended with a slide...the landing was definitely not soft on this one. :)

Madi having fun :)

the huge obstacle course with two course to race someone to the end.

the air left this section for a minute and Ben and I totally fell to the ground. Jacob jumped on top of us since it looked like so much fun.

Michael having some fun.

my niece Lexi having fun.

Madi couldn't keep the sidewalk chalk off her face. lol

the boys made a ramp on the sidewalk out front of the house and rode back and forth for hours on bikes and scooters. Check out Michael on Lexi's pink bike. For some reason they all fought over that one. Never did find out why that one was so cool. haha!



Lexi doing a little sidwalk art.



The chocolate factory in SLC (Mrs. Cavanaugh's) didn't have an elevator so the boys were recruited to help carry Jacob down the stairs. :)

Lexi & Jacob with the mini villiage at the chocolate factory in the background.



watching the movie at the beginning of the tour in the chocolate factory.

Michael watching BOLT on our last night.

all of us minus tali at the little movie in the chocolate factory.

Jacob and Madelynne playing on Jolene's swingset the night before we left on our trip at SheraLee's birthday party. :)

Lexi & Tali

Tali during our game of Canasta. She and Steve were on a team and her mom Debbi and I were on a team. We KICKED SOME SERIOUS BUTT!!! lol we even tried to lose. :)
on the way to utah we ran into traffic barely 20 miles after we left. haha


madi is famous for getting into everything...here's her getting into the stickers. :)

my niece Lexi and brother in law Steve

more of the traffic on the road. lol check out that black sheep. haha

madi and jacob reading in bed before everyone else was up in the morning.

we saw a lot of rainbows since it rained a lot down there. Very pretty.
This is at SheraLee's birthday the night before the trip. It's in Cowley. We bbq'd with them.

the older girls at the birthday party made a castle out of a box...pretty funny. The little girls loved it.

we had a fun afternoon at the park while down in salt lake. The kids played and played then a family showed up with 2 little puppies and the kids were in heaven. The people were really nice and let them play with the dogs.

Madi chillin' on Tali's couch.



Madelynne and her cake.

another storm, another rainbow

hangin' out on the porch watching the boys on their bikes.



tali set up a bounce house in her living room and the littlest kids had a blast. Then the older kids realized it was up and came in for some fun for a bit. more birthday fun! the cake was yummy.
