Memorial Day 2009


We packed up the car and headed south this year for Memorial Day. What an adventure. We wondered how many times we would tell each other that we need a bigger car, and I am pretty sure we lost count by Monday afternoon. Ethan and Aiden were champs in the car...thank goodness for technology. Camden, however, was another story. He did not do well at all, and pretty much cried from start to end going down and coming home from St. George. It was a miserable 6.5 hours for us. (It took that long because of the MANY stops we made to try to get him to stop. Plus there was always that traffic thing...) It was fun to get away from the every day surrondings and swim or pretty much do nothing. The boys loved having my brothers dog, Ruby with us. She is a good watchdog, and took great care of them. We went on a hike, and at the top looking into Snow Canyon, she got nervous because Scott was standing close to the edge with Aiden on his shoulders, and she did not stop barking at him until he moved back. Good times, and thank goodness no stitches this time! The bonus for me was the fact that after 2 years of restriction, I threw my butt on a motorcycle. It was pure heaven.

Cam's first dip in the pool. He LOVED it!

The giggle twins. This is my sister, Lynell with Aiden. I think he liked the hot tub more because he could stand up in the whole thing.


My boys after a quick trip around the block.

Good snuggles with my dad.




Isn't he cute?

What cute posts about your cute family. It sounds like you are a very busy momma of three very active boys. I can't believe I too am the mommy to three. It hasn't sunk in yet. What a great trip, I wish I had someplace fun to go. Love the pictures too.

I can't believe you dare ride a motorcycle. I wouldn't do that for a million bucks! Glad you had fun!
