Snow in June????

Only in Utah would there still be ice, cold, snow in the middle of June! Driving through Cedar Mountain on our way home from the Bradshaw Family Reunion Rodeo in Orderville we stopped at a spot near the road a took a quick break for a little fun!


A little bit of scraping to expose some of the nicer (cleaner) snow and the kids couldn't make the snowballs fast enough!

Poor Lisa woke up to find herself ambushed by the rest of the family. I guess she wondered why we had stopped, climbed out of the van, and started wandering around looking for us. I think this was the most fun Kenny ever had!!!!

The King and Caesar's palace...

I was surprised to find out how little the kids remembered about our trips to Las Vegas when they were little and we lived in Utah a few years back. It was fun to take them there again this trip and to do more than we ever could've before when we had to lug along strollers and baby bags. Its nice when they can all walk the strip on their own and not have to be carried the whole way.

Caesar's palace has always been one of my favorites! We spent several hours there walking through FAO Swartz and taking in all the amazing shows!

The best part of the trip...

I'd have to say the one thing the kids looked forward to the most this trip was being able to see their cousins again. Each time we visit its as if no time had ever passed since our last visit. They all just take right up where they left off and enjoy every single moment they have together.

Of course, the goodbyes at the end of our trip are always a little difficult, but thank goodness for summer vacations and visits with "the cousins"...

Step by step....

It took us several states and quite a few hours of driving but we finally made it to Four Corners Monument in New Mexico....I mean Colorado...No it was Utah...okay maybe we were in Arizona. Anyhooo... we had a fun time visiting the Four corners area and enjoyed taking lots of fun pictures.

I especially liked the one we took of Lisa doing a push up with each arm and leg in a different state. She refused to let me publish it on the blog, but I will definitely be using it later on sometime like in her wedding reception video, her graduation party or other some other personal very exciting event like that! haha! Moms always get the last laugh!

A time to gather...

It was such a fun day for Jessica to have both sets of grandparents attend her baptism. Here is a picture of Jessica with her grandparents from Colorado.

Here is a picture of our family with Arnold's mom and dad.

Family means everything...

After Jessica's baptism we took a minute to take some family photos. Here is a group photo of my side of the family. My parents, my brother Jonny and his family and my sister Mibi and her husband Lee.

This is a picture of me and my brother and sister with my parents.
