Lagoon - It IS what fun is

My work had their Lagoon day last week. I always look forward to going so I can see the people I work with since I only see them about 2 times a year. When we got there it started POURING. Matthew freaked out that we didn't have his rain jacket. But, once we got to the bumper cars, he was all smiles and seems to forget about the rain and being wet. We had lots of fun and I'd take the rain over being sweaty and hot any day. It was actually kind of nice because the lines weren't very long.

Merry Marysvale

We went to Marysvale, UT this past weekend with a couple of Dave's brothers and their families. It was tons of fun and really pretty. Thanks guys for letting us mooch!

An old minePretty waterfall, but I didn't dare hike down any further for closer pictures...yikes!

Park City

Last weekend we went up to Park City for a night. We had a lot of fun. We did some shopping at the outlets, ate yummy Mexican food, & went swimming. The next day was pretty rainy but we took the kids outside for a little while & they loved the big chess set. Allison thought
'the horsies were so cute' and kept giving them big hugs. Matthew was more interested in how to play the game, but I was too lazy to try to teach him and told him I'd teach him when he was a little older. But he had fun putting all the black pieces on the black squares. Thanks Mom for letting us use your place for a night!

Lovin' Soccer

Matthew played Spring soccer and LOVED it and even scored a goal. He had a ton of fun and kept telling us that his soccer shoes made him run lightning fast. He is sad that his games are all over, but he's looking forward to doing it again in the Fall. Thanks go to his two awesome coaches. He also thinks his soccer trophy is pretty sweet that he got on their last game.

Squirt Gun Heaven

Matthew and Allison have been on a squirt gun kick lately. They love the things, and an added bonus is that the things entertain them for quite awhile. Matthew said he was 'too busy squirting' for me to take his picture, but since Allison is a ham she was all over it.

Disneyland

It always seems to take me a month or so after a vacation for life to become back to normal. SO, I'm just getting around to posting about our trip to Disneyland. We had a lot of fun, although it was REALLY hot for a couple days (in the low 100s). We took Dave's parents with us and it was nice to go on a few rides without the kiddos. Matthew favorite rides were Pirates and Soarin' California. Allison loved the roller coaster in toontown and even tried the Matterhorn. She said that she liked the Matterhorn, but didn't want to go again. We all loved the new Toy Story ride. It was also nice to spend several days there and see/do a lot of things that we normally won't have done.

All of us

The fireworks rocked.
Crazy lines at the princess place. You have to go right when it opens. One lady told us that they waited 3 hours the day before and only saw Mulan... We got to see Cinderella, Snow White & Sleeping Beauty. Allison told Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty all about Snow White the whole time. That was her favorite. Matthew even gave them hugs; that probably won't last too much longer.

Spring is here

It's been a very wet & cold spring. But spring is finally here and the flowers at Temple Square are SO pretty. My nice Mom picked me up from the airport after our trip to Disneyland and she dropped me off for a few minutes at Temple square so I could see the flowers. I wish I would have had more time to spend there, but the flowers really were beautiful AND of course, I took a couple of pictures.
