I know I am a slacker I have felt so overwhelmed in my life lately that the blogging has been pushed to the bottom of the list! I decided to visit my family during finals after realizing it was going to be a long week of no sleep and a teething baby. We had a great time and I had a lot of help from my family. I wished they lived closer the extra hands and naps were so much appreciated! We went nonstop and I think my kids were so exhausted they slept better than I have ever seen them sleep. Too bad that didn't continue after we got back home.
Here's what we were able to see and do...thanks family we had fun & miss you guys!

We spent a long weekend at my mom's condo in St. George while we were there we found this cute little park downtown and my kids loved it when we weren't in the pool Kaden was begging to go here...

Beck also loved it but for other reasons. Everytime I would turn away even for a minute he was chewing at the red rock or trying to get a drink. His mouth was covered in red dirt eeeeewwwwhhhh!

There was a little river, waterfalls and splash pad and lots of red rock stepping stones...little boy heaven!


We love to visit the museums and had never gone to the Discovery Gateway. It was a cute museum however we had to battle the two elementary grade schools that were there it was complete chaos but that didn't stop my busy boys!


"Look ma an onion...looks like something I should eat yum yum!" EEEEWWWHHHH! What don't little kids put in their mouth YUCK!

We beat the millions of gradeschool kids to the helicopter and Kaden thought this was awesome he had it all to himself!

I know you have already thought to yourself eeewwwh a couple of time and if not then I will really get you with the next think that makes you go ew ew ewh! So Kaden convinced mom and grandma that he needed an octopus that blows bubbles. He is obsessed with bubbles lately and we went through many containers of them! The day we got the bubble blowing octopus machine we went outside to see him work...even though it had been raining. There were many snails out on the sidewalk because of the rain. My boys really hadn't seen that many snails so they thought it was neat and were inspecting them QUITE closely, one snail in particular was in the middle of the sidewalk and not moving very quickly. Kaden was so funny to watch blowing bubbles and jumping up and down with excitement. Beckham was also cute curiously inspecting the snail. I thought I need to run in and get my camera. My mom was kind of watching them from the entryway (it was cold and I was only gone like literally 30 seconds). I came back out and said, "where did that snail go, did Kaden move it?" just as I looked down Beck looked up with his big brown eyes and check poking out like he had a huge gumball in his mouth. I realized about the same time as my mom was squealing that it was in his mouth. I literally was dry heaving as I was fishing the slimy chocking hazard out of my 10 month olds mouth! EEEEEWWWWHHHHHH! I am gagging now writing this...YUCK! Seriously how would that have been 10 month old chocks on snail (wonder if that's ever happened?).

The bubble fun probably isn't that exciting after the snail story but he thought it was the GREATEST thing ever!
