Family Pictures

My sister Heidi took some family pictures for us this year.  We love them.


Every year it's hard to believe how much the kids have grown and changed from the year before.







My family is such a blessing.  I love them all so much and am so very thankful to 
have them in my life.

Conference Weekend

For conference weekend I talked Dustin into taking us to Utah to go to the Museum of Natural Curiosity and to visit my grandma & grandpa Wheeler in Provo.  Thursday night Lincoln fell on the chair and smacked his face on the counter top.  His gums got pretty chomped up and bled all night and finally stopped late into the morning on Friday.  It was horrible.  

These pictures don't do the swelling justice in my mind but I felt like he looked like a WHO from the Grinch with a swollen nose and top lip.


We went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point.  We all thought it was pretty great and had a good time together.









We had to convince Lincoln he would like this water table, but after a few minutes he decided it was pretty entertaining.



Part way through the museum the power went out and so we found our way to this giant lego room until the power came back on.  Seemed like a pretty good choice.


After a good time at the museum we went to a little deli for some delicious dinner.  Of course no meal is complete with a few spills and dad reminding the kids we can't take them anywhere without a giant mess.  The tradition lives on from when i was a kid.  :)  Aren't these kids beautiful!!  I sure love them and especially love spending some quality time together.

Probably the most anticipated was the swimming pool at the motel that was like 20 degrees.  The kids loved it none the less.

Saturday morning we went and did a quick visit with Grandma and Grandpa Wheeler in Provo.  Sadly I didn't get a picture.  They have dementia quite severely and we know their time is likely limited so any quick visit we can squeeze in is wonderful.

 It was conference weekend so on our way home Saturday we stopped at 3 temples and took a picture.  Of course the grounds were closed because of conference, but we convinced Dustin we still needed to stop,



Even if it's raining..


We took some of my favorite pictures of the year there.  Seriously, my favorite people!


So grateful for this crazy little family I get to call mine!

Rainbow Picture Opportunity

As a mom who loves to take pictures I have to be quick on my toes to grab a picture like this.  I see them going out to enjoy the rainbow and I can't resist.  What a treasure they are!

I hope one day this boy realizes how lucky he is to have 3 extra mamas who take such good care of him and love him to pieces.

Squealers

What a wonderful day to spend the day - laughing at Squealers fun park. 

The kids absolutely loved the small go carts.




And the big kids liked the big ones!
