St. George!!!

we decided to take one final fun trip as a family before the baby comes and we have to pack everything in the house to go on a trip again! Coming up with a destination was easy...ST. George...oh how we miss you!

Our trip was jam packed. We visited friends (sorry if we missed you...we wish we had a day to spend with all the people we love down there...but then we would be there for like 3 months, which doesn't sound bad to me:), saw all the babies that have been born since we last visited, celebrated birthdays, cooled off at the splash pad and pool, and Justin even squeezed in a second father and sons camp out! 

these pictures were taken the day we headed to the city center. We visited Judd's first.

how tender is this old fashioned store?

the kids got old fashioned soda's...

gee ali, tell us how you really feel!

she cracks us up.

then we went across the street to the carosel! 

I so miss this town.

  then we walked down the path to the splash pad and cooled off.

one of the highlights of the trip for miss ali was seeing her baby sitter extrordinare, Maddy. Who she still prays for (as well as the rest of her family) at night. Maddy was such a good sport about ali's obsession.  and I am obsessed with her mother, so I was happy to make the jont over to their house to play!

seriously, they LOVE her.

We got to stay with our friends the Wood's and they were nice enough to let us extend our stay a few days when we just couldn't stomach leaving as scheduled.  kim and I have birthdays close together and she made a YUMMY german chocolate cake to celebrate!

We also got to go to the temple and the wood boys watched our kids for us a ton. My kids LOVED them and ali cried as soon as we pulled into the drive way...like burst into tears..."I miss bishop brocks house. Can we Go back?"


don't worry ali, we all feel the same way.

can't wait until the next visit!
