Anniversary Trip

Ryan and I went on a little trip for our "Big" anniversary this year. We wanted to go somewhere warm but didn't want to pay the VERY expensive plane ticket prices because we had to go over a weekend. So - we got in his truck and drove to St. George. We had to drive almost all the way to St. George before we finally got to where it was warm enough that there was no snow. We had such a good time. We stopped at Temple Square in SLC to watch the Joseph Smith movie. It was very good. We got to see the St. George, Provo, Timpanogas and Draper temples. We went shopping at every outlet, kids store and Pawn shop (not my idea - my husband LOVES guns) along the way. It was a very long drive, but so worth it. I was able to get alot of clothes for my kids for next year at school on the clearance racks (I'm a bargain shopper) and we also brought the kids each home a few fun things.
Excuse her hair please...We brought Laiklie home a cute little purse full of all the things that little girls love, but of course she found this swimsuit in the pile of clothes I got on the clearance racks and she has worn it non-stop. She has slept in it and worn it day after day. It is definitely a St. George trip favorite.
Dallin and Rhett got coon-skin hats. They have wanted them forever - they beg and plead everytime we go into Sportsmans Warehouse, but I have never wanted to pay the money to get them. Cabela's however had them for $4.99. That is my kind of price. Dallin especially loves his. He too has slept in it and even asked to wear it to school the other day. Of course he chickened out as the bus pulled up, but when he is at home it is on his head.

Oakley got a Hannah Montana hair coloring system. It works pretty good, but sure makes her hair feel gross after we use it. Next time we try it I will take some pictures to post.

I'm glad other people's children wear silly things to bed too! Ethan has a hot pink, fuzzy, huge piece of fabric that he has adopted as a blanket. Every night he strips down to his underwear to sleep under the fuzz. Cracks me up!
