CATS!

Look at how happy those cute kids are.

Christian came home for lunch today and asked if I wanted to go see Cats the musical. I was excited because it is one that left the theater before I got a chance to see it. Well, Christian found out that a group of 10-18 year olds were putting it on in Folsom and Sunday was the last day. Well I told him that I would get a sitter and we could go. He surprised me and said he wanted to take the kids. So tonight we got ready and headed out. We arrived at the theater, bought our tickets, and found our seats. We told the kids that they could not get up from their seats until intermission. As soon as the lights went down and the singing started they couldn't take their eyes off the actors. It was amazing. The kids talked about their favorites all the way home. I am so glad that they loved it.

Our St.George Trip!

We love St. George, Ut. There is so much to do if you love the out doors.

I got to show off how I could still fit in the slot for the St. George Narrows

Christian and the kids about to climb through the St. George Narrows. Christian almost didn't make it, there were a few tight spots. 11 years ago he could do it without any trouble.


Christian loves to climb. That is one thing we miss living in California. But all of the kids climbed this. I think that they have caught the climbing bug just like their dad.

Isaac without any trouble.

We went to the Johnson's Farm Dinosaur museum.

Snow Canyon

If you look close you can see the climbers on the rock. Christian was so sad that he didn't have his gear.

When you think of a family vacation what comes to mind. For me it is getting in the car driving up to 12 or more hours, getting to our destination, and then relaxing with my husband and kids.
Well this time we had a few detours, we did drive the 12 hours to the condo we stay at in St. George. Then as we are all ready to get out of the car the key that we had didn't work. We had to make a choice either stay in St.George at a hotel and make the drive to Salt Lake the next morning to get a new key or keep driving and come back the next day. We decided to keep driving. We were so happy my sister was able to have us stay at her house. We got to her house about 3 am. We slept a few hours and then got up the next morning to homemade waffles and juice. Later in the afternoon we drove to Christians parents house and got a new key. We had fun visiting with family and then set off for St. George around 7:30pm . We got to St.George around Midnight. We were so excited to finally get into the condo. Christian put the key in the lock and it would not turn. We thought maybe the lock was stuck a little so we turned the key with a little bit of force and broke the key off in the lock. Well, we were so tired and decided there was nothing more we could do so we drove up the hill to the Laquinta Inn and spent the night. The next morning we call a lock smith who let us into the condo.
We had so much fun on our vacation. We got to see our family in Salt Lake and we saw some of my family in St. George. We played in the sand dunes in Snow Canyon. It also has some underground caves that we explored for a while.

We loved our vacation.
