Black out night

I took Aubrey and Jennifer to the "black out" match of the Ute Gymnastics.  We were heading out to pick up our friend's Katelyn and Karen. Lily is in her naked stage.  She tears off whatever clothes are on her with 30 minutes of putting them on.  She wanted in on the picture.  Jennifer is still in that awkward stage of making faces during pictures.

Aubrey wanted me to post a pic of her hair.  This is how I am doing her hair for her baptism, and I wanted to practice.

We got there in time for the Kids corner.  They gave out free tattoos and posters.

Jennifer loves watching gymnastics.  She cheers during the entire match.

Karen got all the girls some Ute pom poms.  They loved them!

It was way more crowded this night than the last time we went.  We had so much fun on our Mom/Daughter dates!

Arizona

Devin, Eric, Aubrey and I headed down to Arizona for President's Day weekend.  We stayed with Dad and Diane at the condo in St. George on our way down there.  The kids were so excited to see Grandpa and Nana while they were on their mission.  We had breakfast together before we hit the road to Justin and Lisa's.  We made a quick stop at the Hoover Dam.

Eric is obsessed with Minecraft lately.  As soon as we made it to Justin and Lisa's, we found out that they had Minecraft on the Xbox.  Eric was in heaven.

Once we got there Aubrey and Anna jumped into the pool.  Devin joined in.  The pool wasn't even heated up yet. 

The girls played a lot of Just Dance on the Xbox.

We all sat in the hot tub every night while we were there.  The last night we watched t.v. from the hot tub.  Justin has the surround sound outside too.

Aubrey and Anna spent every moment they could in the pool.  They even tried to get in at 6:30am.

Justin and Devin went to a field and flew Justin's RC airplane.  Later that night it got stuck in a tree.  When they came back with a ladder, somebody had stolen the plane.  Bummer.

We had the kids go to the park to play one afternoon.  It was beautiful weather!

We went out for Mongolian food for dinner. 

We hiked up to the top of the mountain on our last day. 

I asked the boys to pose by a catcus for me to take a picture.  Right when we were warning them about getting to close the the cactus, Andrew got poked.

The boys took some airsoft guns on the hike.

Some of the cactus were so tall!

We made it to the top.  It was pretty windy.

Justin and Devin got into the "Just Dance" action.  Justin also had a basketball game that was fun.

We stopped at stayed at Dad and Diane's again on our way back.  While we were there we celebrated Devin's birthday.

It was a wonderful trip!  The kids still talk about how much fun they had.  Justin and Lisa were amazing hosts, thank you for everything that you did!  I love Arizona, especially in February.  And thanks Dad and Diane for letting us stay with you.  The kids loved seeing you in St. George!

Ute Gymnastics

 My co-worker is able to get free tickets to the Ute Gymnastics meets.  This was the first time I've been able to go.  I had Aubrey and Jennifer come with me and they LOVED it!  Aubrey's gymnastics coach was sitting 3 rows behind us.

 Becky met up with us shortly after the meet started.  She brought the twins and Addie.  Aubrey was so excited when she heard they were coming.  Addie looked so cute in her Ute cheerleading outfit.

 Here is the meet.  They were amazing!  It was so fun to watch them compete against Arizona State University.

 Jennifer was dancing throughout the night.  She loved the music the band was playing. 

 We had a great time!  We will definitely go again this year.  I even found a great spot to park that wasn't difficult at all to leave. 

Jennifer is in the awkward picture taking stage where she refuses to look at the camera.

Monster Trucks

I was in trial all last week for a bankruptcy fraud case.  I worked some crazy hours again, but the jury came back with guilty on all counts.  A couple weeks before the trial, Zac ordered some tickets to go see the monster trucks. 

 Eric and Aubrey went with Zac and he spoiled them a little.  They had great seats and loved the show.

 They sat right above the pit where all the trucks were waiting to go out in the ring.

 

 

 

 

 

They loved having an afternoon "date" with Dad.
