I heard on the t.v. the other day that when you go somewhere with kids it is a trip, when you go somewhere without kids it is a vacation. So , we took a little trip down to Utah, to get away from the super cold Montana and take a break from work. It was nice.
Lots of pictures, that are backwards, but don't have time to fix.
Tim's brother in law and nephews like to do bmx racing, so we went and at the end they let anyone who wants to, take a turn around the track. Carter was so excited to get to try it out. He backed out once, but then with more encouragement and his dad and cousin going with him, he was able to build up the courage to do it.

I was really proud of him for overcoming his fear. He enjoyed it so much, he said " I want you to sign me up for that whenwe get home" sorry they don't have that where we live. :/

Haven and I went to get our nails done. She was so excited. Unfortunately when we arrived at the nail place there was some commotion going on. So we sat and waited to be helped and Haven put on some lip gloss for this picture. But then I realized one of the nail lady's had a stroke and they were calling an ambulance, so we left......uh awkward.

My cousin April got ahold of me and we went to luch at Zupas, so yummy. good thing we don't have one in Mt.

we took the kids to a Jungle gym's. It is like a little place with circus rides. It is pretty low rate, but the kids had a great time, and we used lots of hand sanitizer so it was ok :)


We took the opportunity to go to Temple square. It has been a long time since we have been. It is always so great to be there for many reasons, but one big one is because that is where Tim and I went for our first date. (do you like our cheesy grins on the right. this wasn't on purpose) lol

Waterfall at conference center.

I was pretending to throw Carter in the water, he was so mad, as you can see in the picture. I was laughing because I couldn't believe he thought I would seriously do it.

The Christ statue usually is a very peaceful place, but there were a bunch of newbie missionaries running around snapping pictuers and being annoying. But the kids thought it was neat anyways.


" Come unto Me" :)

This is new. They have a south visitors center now, with a replica cross section of the temple so you can see what some of the inside looks like. SO NEAT!

Unce Dave carried Jax around everywhere. He loves him. Showing Jax the angel Moroni.
