The Tulip Festival 2013

April 25, 2013
Yep, another year of Thanksgiving Points amazing Tulip Festival.  I love coming to this with our family.  It is so beautiful!
Jada and Dave had fun getting amazing pictures of all the beautiful flowers...
Dax and Brayden could not keep their hands off each other the whole time...
Boys...
Always fighting...
Always rough housing...
Never a dull moment...
I am going crazy...
It is never ending...
That is until someone really gets upset or hurt :(
BOYS!!!
All my cute guys :)
My cute Jada Babe :)
I am so blessed!!
They have a whole amazing garden of bronze statues of Christ...
they are sooo cool!
Always the electronics :(
Dawson really wanted a hot dog from a vendor, and we told him to wait because we were all going out to dinner at the deli.  He was so upset, he would not look at the camera for this picture.  I told him that we could go get him a hot dog, but he was too upset.
This picture was taken minutes after the hot dog incident... Thank goodness he recovers quick from his anger and sadness :)
Fighting yet again...  
I'm tellin ya, it is never ending.
My cutie!!!
We had such a great evening together.  I just love that we have such an amazing venue to go to five minutes from our house.  I am truly blessed, I love my family so much.

We Almost Didn't Go....

August 16 & 17
We almost didn't go on our annual Park City overnight school clothes shopping trip, but then I remembered it was Daxton's last year to do it with us :(.  So we ended up going, and I am so glad we did.  We had so much fun, and it was great to have a little family time.  We stayed at the same place as  last year.  The Sundial Lodge is so nice.  This year the room had a full kitchen, separate bedroom, a fireplace, and a jacuzzi tub.  Yes, I took advantage of that awesome tub.
The boys slept on the pull out bed,
and stayed up till all hours watching TV...
Jada slept on a pull out chair...
and Dave and I had a king size bed :).  
Yep, it was perfect!
In the morning Dave and the kids went swimming.  Well, everyone except Dax.  He decided sleep sounded better.
When I finally got down to the pool, this is where I found Dawson.  He was upset because no one would give him the swimming mask.  It took some convincing, but I finally got him to get back in.
Serious...
Happy...
Dave
Time for a handstand contest...

Even Dave got in on it :)
Dave and Jada are so graceful...
Brayden, not so much :)
Jada

Chillin in the jacuzzi...
The world is good again... he got the mask back :)

Here is where Brayden shines, 
jumping in and posing in the air...
My baby sure has become quite a little swimmer this summer.
Dawson thought it was so cool to be the one to open our room door.  He would freak out if anyone else tried to.
That's my Dawson... 
He loves to pose for pictures.
Me and my Jada Babe!
The boys sure enjoyed this climbing net...
When we went to leave, Dawson decided he hadn't had enough of climbing.  So while everyone went to get the car, we hung out for a little longer.
We spent the rest of the day shopping at the outlets.  We did almost all of their school clothes shopping in those 2 days.  I love it!  I am so glad that we didn't forgo this fun tradition this year.  We had such a great time.  I sure do love my family, and I cherish these times together.
