A part of my Family History

So this last Sunday we had a family reunion down in Mayfield, UT.  Afterwards we went over to the town that my grandfather grew up in and took a visit to a house that his dad lived in.  It is a one room house with a cellar off to the side.  Kids and vandals do not respect much of anything so they are debating whether or not to tear down the house!  Good thing for Steve and I we brought our good camera, snapped a few photos and I have now finished editing them.  My uncle will be taking some wood from the old barn and house and making picture frames for everyone so I'm so happy that we will have this piece of history to have in our family! Here are the pictures that I have taken and did some editing on.

I know that this means a lot to my grandfather and he is very torn between having to break it down or leave it up.  It is the last reminder of the father he had when he was young and that is always a hard thing.  I'm just so glad that we were able to take these photos and that I have the software available to do some editing!  I think it'll be a nice gift to him and I know he will treasure it.  Now I just have to decide on sizes and frames!  Yea!!

Pictures of our trip to Texas

Theses are my nieces Angelina and Carolyna.  They wanted to come over every day to play with the boys.

My boys on the Riverwalk Barge.  I just remember it being HOT!

At the San Antonio Zoo.

And of course Sea World to see Shamu!

Texas May 2010

So we finally made a trip to Texas to visit Steve's family.  We flew down there and back and the boys did phenomenal.  Aaden was so excited to go on an airplane he couldn't sleep the night before!  When we got down to Texas....mind you it was still in the 60's here in Utah...it was hot.  So here I am pregnant....not to terribly pregnant...but enough to be uncomfortable.  We stayed at the parentals house and had a good time. We went to the museum, did the riverwalk, the San Antonio Zoo, Seaworld and just enjoyed shopping and spending time with the family.  It was pretty uneventful but it was the first time the Grandparent got to see Landon and it had been 3 years since they had seen Aaden.  They soaked it up and the kids teased the grandparents like always.  It'll probably be another 3 years before we make it down there again.  It is expensive to fly with kids but that seems to be the only way to make sure we get there in one piece. Ha!
