Memorial Day plus one busy week!

This year for Memorial day, Brandon was actually in town! (His company has planned a Lake Mead trip for the last two years, but not this year!)
So we got to enjoy some family time!

Brandon's sister came to visit with her two kids from Arizona, so on Monday we went with B's family to Liberty Park for a picnic and play time, then we went to Tracy Aviary. I don't remember if I have been there before, but it was really nice and fun to see all the different kids of birds! The kids loved it!

Brandon and Tyson playing freeze tag with Andi and Paige!

After the Aviary we headed back to Brandon's parents house because Liberty Park was quite busy...there was quite a diverse group of people hanging out at the park so we decided to play somewhere were the kids would not get lost or stolen!

Cute Trey stealing the freeze ball!

Lily just wanted to swing! She LOVES to swing!

Even if she is just dangling she LOVES to swing!



One day(since I can't remember what we did on what day!) we went met with Nana and Andi and the kids at the mall to see Paige get her ears pierced. She was so brave. For the rest of the week, the earrings were well discussed. Tyson always made sure they were turned the right way and Paige loved when he would look at them! Then Nana let the kids ride the carousel. They LOVED that too!


Tuesday night we were lucky enough to go with Grandma Wendy to the opening of the new Incredible Pizza Place in Draper. My Mom had received a VIP pass and she could invite 4 people to go with her, lucky for us there are 4 in our family so we got to go!
It was a lot of fun, but very busy because it was opening night!

Tyson very intense while driving!

Lily loved the rides!

Brandon became addicted to this game, but he earned a lot of tickets for the kids!

We had a great time!

Thanks Grandma Wendy!

One night (again can't remember which one!) Tyson slept over at Nana's house with Paige!

They told Nana when they were ready for bed, because they were going to giggle and talk all night!

The next day we went to Kangaroo Zoo. A great place for the kids! Lily even got in on the action!

Lily on the frog!

Another day...I think Thursday! We went to the aquarium!

The kids really enjoyed all the fish! Tyson and Paige wanted to know what every fish was called and Trey and Lily mostly wanted to climb up the rocks!

Tyson's turn!

(Tyson loves to "read" the maps everywhere we go!)

Trey's Turn!

And Paige!

Cute kids!

Lily has just started giving huge cheesy grins for the camera, I was a little slow so I missed the big smile!

Nana let the kids pick a project from the aquarium. They chose glow in the dark ocean creatures that they could paint! (Lily and Trey got puzzles!)

Then Paige had a sleepover at our house!

We put up both tents in Tyson's room!

Then we finished with Friday playing and eating at Nana and Papa's house!

It was such a great week!

Thanks Nana for all the fun!

Tyson was so sad that Paige and Trey had to go back home, but they are coming to visit again in 128 days (less now!!??)

Saturday of the holiday week, we finished our little family by running, seeing Shrek at the theatres, and planting more veggies in our garden!

The kids helping Dad kill...I mean plant the veggies!

What a fun week!
