Utah trip

This is going to be a long post. Ill try to keep the pics to a minimum. Last month, August, the kids and I went to Utah for 2 weeks to visit friends and family. We stayed at my moms house and did something almost every day. First off, we just spent time at my moms after a long day of traveling and hung out with aunt Ann and uncle David and kitty Oreo.

Then, we went to Lagoon with aunt Jean, aunt Tashina and cousin Dante. It was just me and Peyton that went, Seth stayed with his grandparents for the day.

We also went to the Zoo with my friend Lindie and her kids, Kaylee, Emma and Talon. Ann came along also.

Over the first weekend we were there, we went to visit new baby cousin Melanie whom the kids have not met before.

We did family pictures with the cousins on Tairels side. Played at a splash park.

Had some company over at my moms for dinner.

The second week, we did a lot more things. We played with cousins.

Played with friends Emma and Talon

Went to Trafalga with cousin Dante

Went to Liberty Park

Went to the Childrens Museum with Heidi, Caden, Taige and Kai

and finally, the Aquarium.

We did a lot and were very exhausted. We were ready to go home, be with Tairel and back to our schedules, but we miss everyone already and cant wait until the next time we can come visit again...or better yet...we cant wait until we get another visitor(s) up here!

Crap truck

Recently we sold our 2009 kia optima because we needed to rearrange our finances so that we can pay some stuff off. In place of it, we bought this 1994 toyota pickup truck from Tairels boss. We were able to pay cash for it since it did not cost much. It runs great and gets 40 miles to the gallon. Tairel uses it for his commuter to get to work at back. We still have our Titan, and use it as the family car now. Here is the winner!
