St. George, UT

We got to St. George on Sunday night. Everyone was over for dinner! Then on Monday we hung out. Machel drove me so she stayed for a couple days. My parents bought the kids these blocks...they really enjoyed playing with them to!!

Grandma & Grandpa Despain gave us Christmas in January....They wanted to save it for them! They were both excited for it....

After Our GOODBYE'S...

We went to Mesquite, Nevada for a goodbye dinner with Machel. It was so good to spend time with her & she was so generous let us stay at her house, drive us to St. George, and other things! She also is an amazing Pirate!! ARRGGG!

We stayed this night at Judy's house. It was fun to make pumpkin cookies & watch the kids play!

In the morning we went to Fiesta Fun, an arcade & fun center!

I think Kaylee was named Comeback Kid here.....

While the others were great about having direction, dad and I couldn't quiet keep from going in circles! Jordan & Kaylee spent time squirting Judy & Henlee on the outside!

The girls got to ride the kiddy karts....they were SO slow and the girls were embarrassed...it didn't help that Shelby & I were laughin at them!

Next we went bowling...Dad beat us all! Judy & I were one point behind him....

The girls decided to play pool.....to bad it took longer then bowling!! The girls couldn't hit the ball in. Jordan and Henlee decided to hangout on the side lines....

SO-We then ventured to Forevermore Events...the most AMAZING wedding & event planning in St. George!! My sister, Laura owns the place so we got dropped off to go see it and to go to her house for dinner. My kiddos were pretty wore out by this time!

On Thursday we relaxed mostly....Jordan & Devin came over after school. They played football with the kids!

Henlee was ready to go inside. It was getting a little bit chilly.


We got to see my nephews play some church basketball...to bad we missed my nieces game because of an early start....

We then went to Laura's house for a movie night...which didn't really work with so many people. We didn't even get half way though before we gave up on the movie!!!


Guess we should have stuck to ice skating like the girls had planned...

Either way it was fun to see my nieces more & to chit chat!!!

SNOWBOARDING!!

My Dad & Laura were AWESOME to watch my kids on Friday so I could go! I had a GREAT time and it was good to get away!!

We went on a pretty deep hike when we first got there....J. Peay made the trail for us! Talk about tiring with all the gear on!!....

Of course I fell in the deep snow and almosted needed them to help me out!

Getting off the lift was so difficult!! The first time I belly flopped onto the hill!! It was embassing and frightening at the same time....it didn't help that I could hear the shock in my nephews voice....

We ate lunch (fancy corn dogs) & went down the mountain a few more times. I got to the piont were I could go by myself for a period of time. I began to get tired though & couldn't get back up on my own! My poor nephews would have to lift me up.....

D. Stagg....

J. Peay.....

After Snowboarding...I was SUPER sore and tired.....BUT the party must go on!! We all met at Laura's house, Jim made AWESOME chicken taco's!! Then we had fun playing team Scattegories!

Saturday, our last morning in Utah....We met at the In & Out Burger (Which was DELICIOUS!) to say goodbye.....

I will MISS all of my LOVELY family members while away!! I can't wait for May when I get to see them again, see my growing Niece & Nephews graduate and to spend a good couple weeks together!! I LOVE you ALL!!!
