Enjoying Zion's with the Posey's

We haven't been through this beautiful area for many years but it was even more fun to take the kids and let them enjoy this as well.

So, here we go!

Jon and Erin stayed in St. George with us as well and we were so glad so we could see them more.

*Riding on the shuttle to get to our hike spot*

Jax and I enjoying the scenery together.

Aunt Erin was Rio's hiking buddy on this hike and she was so sweet and Rio loved every minute!

It's just beautiful there.

Stopped by to watch a waterfall.

Up we go!  It doesn't look too steep in this pic but it really was for these little ones and yet, they did it!  They always amaze on hikes - they never quit and have lots of fun.

My "bigger" boys getting rocks to throw into the pools.  It was a beautiful stopping spot.

And while we were at it, we took time for a little snack as you see with Erin :)  She's so fun.

Spence and Blake taking a water break together.

It's so amazing to think that just a few short hours away from where we live, the scenery and area looks so different and has so many cool formations.  I love being outside enjoying all these amazing creations of our Heavenly Father.

So grateful to share this experience with my cutie kids and Spence.  He doesn't get to join us on hikes very often so we were so glad to be with him.

*Erin and Jon*

"Can you fit?"

"Why, yes we can!"

Here we are!  We made it back safe and sound.

Rio doing a little rock climbin'

Hee-hee

Go Austin!

Whew, Jax...you're pretty tough!

Just enjoying a little lunch with the fam.

What a great day!  We had a super fun time.

Angels Landing...here we come! (in a few years)



Playing with cousins while we can in St. George

Since the wedding was in St. George, we decided to make a trip out of it and we had so much fun!

Not only did we enjoy and love this beautiful wedding but we got to see our Gilbert cousins and spend time with them for an extra day or two before they had to head back to CA.

Fortunately, there was a cute park at our hotel we were staying at and a pool so we had lots of fun playing.

*Logan and Jax*

This was a different park that we visited last year when we stayed at our time share in St. George and the kids remembered it so we just had to go back.  It is super fun and it was a little overcast which was perfect!

Rio loves to climb and is a little dare devil which makes it so fun to watch her.

Spence climbing up first so he can help the boys.

Austin climbed up with the help of Spence's coaching :)

And...

...he did it!  All by himself - he is such a hard worker!

I love to watch that kid work.

Rio gave it a try too.

And Logan played on the giant slide - he is such a busy, little guy.



Teter-Toter Time!

And of course, we got some much needed swim time in as well.  It was so beautiful and fun.  Blake had a blast and absolutely loves the water.



Marc & Kari Wedding Part 2

Okay, now that the sealing and luncheon is over, it's time to move on to the reception!

Okay, honestly?

So adorable right?

3 of my cute boys.

Hayden, Rio and Brinlee - they absolutely love being together!

What cute little girls.

They were so excited to be wearing the same dress for the party.

Oh, these boys are just so cute!

They all looked so handsome and had a blast together.

Our little family - not the most "focused" pictures around but everyone looked so cute I think.

With all the festivities going on, guess where the kids ended up?

Yep!  The trampoline of course - just where we wanted them to be in these nice clothes.  Haha. O-well, they had fun.

These two little boys didn't miss out either.  They played nicely by Kisty and I and even cleaned each other up with wipes.  So cute!



And well, with the pool nearby, someone had to end up getting soaked.

One guess who it was....

Yep, those are Logan's feet.  At least it wasn't until the end of the evening and it was like 90 degrees so he dried off quick!

We missed grabbing Kristin in this pic but I just love these two ladies!

*Kisty, Erin and I*

*Spence, Andrew and Jon*

Logan and I got a little silly with the camera and had fun playing together.

So just indulge me there...

Awe.  Such a sweet pic of my little Blake with his awesome daddy.

Oooo...taking the garter off - fun tradition!

Kari with all her girl nieces.  Yes, nieces with two of her sisters holding their babes.  So cute!



And couldn't resist getting one of my and my Rio.  Love this little beauty of mine - she's so sweet!

Beautiful wedding, beautiful day and beautiful couple!

 This pic is from their "SLC" reception at Market Street.  Another chance to dress up in their adorable clothes.  This pic is from Kisty's camera - she captured Spence of course hanging outside with the kids trying to keep them busy - he's a great daddy and uncle.

Ethan and Rio just love being together - cuties holding hands :)

Blake and I - love this little boy.

He is such a sweet boy and I secretly loved that he hadn't started walking yet back then.
