End of Summer trip: Utah

Here is our Utah trip from the view of pictures:

Damen found a new love: STAIRS!  He was obsessed with them.  He also fell down them twice.  

 We got to do what kasen wanted: play baseball with Buddy.

 Ashley and I did the Color Run 5K.  It was super fun.  I ran 3/4 of it then grabbed the older kids and finished with them.  It was fun.  Remy didn't love getting dirty, Kasen LOVED it.  I was glad I could run the whole thing - and finished it in 35 mins.  Thank heavens for Mom and Julie who helped with the kids so I could do this with Ashley.

 We went to the park a lot and the kids liked feeding the ducks.

 One day we made it out to Thanksgiving point. We went to the dinosaur museum and the little kids garden.  Keagan was the only one not is school so her and Julie were able to meet up.

 Digging for dino bones.

 One night we walked to Arctic Circle for an ice cream cone.  Buddy was able to come with us and the kids LOVED it.

 DAMEN'S Birthday cupcakes - he loves loves loves balls so we made some sports balls.

 For his party we had a slip-n-slide down the park hill.  The kids LOVED it.  Damen was pretty mello, but liked it too.  He is so funny about being splashed.  Remy and Kasen were running up the hill to do it over and over and over.  Even Grandma and Buddy got in on the fun!  Deven of course was coming up with tricky ways to go down.

 Ice cream cones and cake for the birthday boys' cousins.

 Opening presents.  Elmo book for the Smith's.  Damen "chose" a little doggie at toys-r-us. It was really cute.  He spotted it on the shelf and wouldn't let it go the whole shopping trip.

Damen loved his little cupcake.  He even wanted more (just like his big brother Kasen did on his first birthday).  

 Such a sweet boy to share with his favorite person in the world - Daddy!

 Remy and cousin Mayson bonding.  

 Sweet Damen on his actual birthday.  WHAT A CUTE ONE YEAR OLD!

One day we were able to go visit our dear friends the Fairbanks.  We wanted to see their new little baby.  Jami was home solo with the kids, but she was so nice to let us crash her house.  She even made cupcakes for the kids to decorate.  

 All the cute kids.  Lots of little blonds and red heads!

Not pictured: A fun day with my high school friends.  A little picnic on a rainy day at Andrea's house.  And a fun day with Krista and her sweet kids.  We also got to swim and the new Provo rec center pool (which my kids were a little afraid of...but it was fun!)
