Arches 2012



 I took the kids to Arches for the pretty much annual family trip. And this time we took Flat Stanley. We took several pictures of him and Abbie for her class. This one was cute with Eliza and Maelee too!


Jace was a little jealous of the Flat Stanley pics, so we got a cute one of him by a tree. Jace thinks Arches is the best place in the world, and it really is for an adventurous boy. He loved every minute, and only almost died one time. --When he took his scooter to the top of a sandstone fin and decided to ride down it. Luckily mom stopped him before he could do it. We also had a chat about safety, and thinking, and how we really love having him in our family!


We were spread out through the campground this year, so when we gathered for dinner we would "hillbilly" it from one camp to the next in Curt's truck. Good times.


This picture is a rare sighting. Hallie is letting someone touch her! Had to be documented. My cute girls!


We went on a new hike this year to tunnel arch. It was a fun hike and cool to do something new after all these years!


Jace and Jack. Two messy cousins attached at the hip. Look at those darling, yet disgusting faces!!


Getting ready for an egg hunt Easter morning.


Gathered to start the hunt. The kids all got candy and flip flops.


We spent a great afternoon at sand dune arch. The cousins were having a great time together.


Burying Aiden. 


Abbie and Eliza climbing to the top of the arch where they never dared go before!


After seeing Aiden, Jace had to get buried too!

 Here is the crowd on the last day we were there! It is always a great time for everyone!

We have a 6 year old!!


I took this picture right before school. Jace was bouncing of the walls because he could tell he grew a little overnight! It is also proof that I do his hair before he walks out the door! It just doesn't last long.


This boy makes our house a lot more exciting. He is one funny kid.


He got this cool bike. Green is his favorite color. We had to take it back, it was too big. When we went to exchange it we had to get a green and white "Razor" bike. Why you ask? "Because my scooter says Razor and it goes so dang fast! If I get a Razor bike it will be the fastest bike ever."


Well ok, we better get the "Razor." 


Here is his cake. Yes it is small. He didn't care at all. He wanted a "bundt" and a cake with a toy on it. The bundt, because of  "My big fat greek wedding" and a toy because he is 6. He loved it, and we love his crazy ways.


We love you Jacer boy!!
