California Adventure

California Adventure - This was the last day of our trip. We had so much fun. We couldn't believe we ran into Tommy and his family here. We had a blast hanging out with them. It's such a small world, at Disney we ran into my old neighbors that I grew up with that my parents are still friends with that are serving their mission in Anaheim. We ended up going to church with them on Sunday. I know I keep saying this but we made so many memories and had so much fun! A good vacation complete!

Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach - We were able to come to this beach twice while on this trip. Taylor could not get enough of the Beach, he loved it. My Aunt Becky and her family were able to come have lunch with us and come to the beach and play for a little bit. It was fun to catch up with her after not seeing her for over 8 years. Bj bought a new beach board for Taylor to try that they had a lot of fun figuring out how to use it:)

Angels Game

Bj was able to take Taylor and Kiley to an Angels Game while we were in Anaheim. They had such a good time. They had awesome seats to a great game that ended with a win. Go Angels!

Disney Characters

The kids had so much fun seeing the Disney Characters. Especially Wyatt, he loved everyone of them and loved to give them all hugs. It was too cute!

Disneyland 2013

We had so much fun at Disneyland. Between Bj catching a duck in mid air, the Fantasmic show, of course all the rides, good weather made for lots of fun memories!

Heather's Birthday

For Heather's Birthday we all met at Olive Garden in Salt Lake to be with her and hear her get serenaded by one of the waiters. Happy Birthday Heather!

Peach Days 2013

It's always an adventure when we do family activities. We first started up with mixed up communication and having breakfast at Mom and Dad's. Then heading up to Brigham City for Peach Days, starting with the parade. We were celebrating Heather's Birthday and she wanted to go up to Logan to the cheese factory and to the malt shop. We got there and it was closed for an employee event and the malt shop had closed down. (No one thought to call a head) So we drove by Sherwood Hills and it's been awhile since we have eaten there and thought it might be fun. We get there and it is now a private club. We all have to use the restroom by now from all the driving and so we go to the Golf Club and Dad finds all these little fuzzy caterpillar's. So we head back to Brigham to Maddox for lunch and finish off visiting a couple of the shops. Then  start to drive back home to find we had missed one of the biggest storms in Provo. Always and adventure!

The Living Aquarium

We took the kids for the first time to the Living Aquarium with the Peterson's. We have been to Aquarium's all over the world but never to the one in our own back yard. The kids had a good time. They listened and learned about sharks and answered questions about sea creatures and received a book mark with a free meal to Rubio's so we were able to go out to eat after we were done. We saw and learned many neat things.

Camping and Hunting


We had some great adventures this August. The best one was Taylor shot a deer with his bow. We have been anticipating this day for 12 years now. It was Awesome! We had some good friends come share and join in on the adventures this year with the Peterson's, Merrill's, Wheelers, Clawson's and Lambs. Grandma Holt was even able to come have some fun this year. She was a trooper on one of our ATV mud rides:) We caught quite a few fish, did some fun hikes, found some new areas to explore, played some fun games in the rain ( Andrea and I even made a good dutch oven dinner out in rain). It was good times with lots of good people. Lots of memories made this year!
