Thanksgiving '07 - Utah

Thanksgiving was in Utah this year with all the Ohlson's. We met the two new babies Jack and Leah they are so precious I miss them already. Owen was very possessive of Leah throwing a fit when others wanted to take a pic with her on her blessing day. He is such a sweet little boy. The boys and I stayed an extra day to hang out with my old roommate and dear friend Heather Gay and her 3 girls. Heather by the way is the coolest girl I know.

This post was ment to be

can you believe it blogger is letting me post some pictures . . . After the Grand Canyon we headed to Vegas to get Brock's Jeep (it has been there for the last 5 months while we've been traveling between CA, AZ and AL). Anyway Brock surprised me with a night away for my 30th B-day (still having issues saying I'm 30). It was so nice and fun to have some "alone time" (thanks to G&G Ohlson for watching the boys) and we went to this Lodge up in Mt. Charleston just about 30 minutes outside of Vegas it was super cool. In the morning we wanted to take a photo to catalog our adventure the photos were too funny, Brock and I almost wet ourselves from laughing so hard after the last one

Ah the first is never the best so you gotta take another

Now this one Brock thinks he looks retarded

Now he thinks it looks like he has a lazy eye

Well HELLO! Now that fixes the eye issue doesn't it

The Grand Canyon too!

I wanted to post about this but blogger is HATEIN' what is up! So no pictures but the weekend we went to Fort Tut Hill and The Polar Express we also went to the Grand Canyon which I had never done and have wanted to do for so long and it was totally great! I must admit though it is just a Grand Canyon the name really does describe it perfectly. I thought when I saw it I would just, I don't know what I thought I would feel like maybe some spiritual experience or something but no I just thought "hey this is one Grand Canyon all right". It was great but I think it would be better to be able to hike down it so Brock and I are going to try to do that together sometime soon. Anyway that is my post about Grand Canyon it sure is Grand!

Fort Tuthill and Polar Express

Brock is in charge of JAG recruiting for Luke AFB which requires him to visit the surrounding Universities that have ROTC programs. Last weekend he had to go to NAU in Flagstaff so we made a fun trip out of it. Luke AFB has a recreation area up there in this park with cabins and other stuff called Fort Tuthill we stayed there one night and Grands Ohlson's who are always up for a good time came too. That night we went into Williams, AZ where they have a train thy call Polar Express that runs for about 1hr to the North Pole and back, everyone wears their jammies, they serve hot coco and cookies, sing christmas songs, read the polar express and then Santa comes on board to give each child a Christmas bell. It was so neat Owen loved every minute and was so excited to meet mommy's old friend Santa Claus (not Santa he'll correct you if you don't say his full name). It was awesome for sure something we want to do next year. Clay on the other hand didn't like Santa so much he freaked out when Santa came on board

Funny suckers Grandma got the boys

Blogger is hatein' now so I'll post more photos later

We were homeless

for a few days so Owen, Clay, and I went to HB again to use our Disneyland passes one last time. We pulled an all dayer hitting up both sides of D-land and spoiling ourselves with all the totally unhealthy Disney food and candy we could inhale. We had a blast! We also went to our old church ward's trunk or treat. We had so much fun seeing old friends and meeting new babies. We've got some great friends in HB that we miss dearly. We came back on Sunday found a house to rent on Monday and Wednesday started moving in. It has been a crazy time but needless to say we are excited to have a place to call home. No trick or treating this year one because we were moving and two because Owen isn't the biggest fan of strangers and I was sure he would just turn and run from each house which is fine for my waist line but next year watch out we'll be out there!
