4th of July at Zion Ponderosa

This year for the 4th we went on a little trip to Zion Ponderosa to visit Heidi and Bryce. Jake had to stay home and work and we were really sad he couldn't come. We went with my mom, my friend Lyndsy, the boys, and me. As always Zion Ponderosa was a blast. We got to stay in a cute little cabin and just play, play, play. There was a carnival on the 4th, and a rodeo, and we went to St. George for a day to visit the IN and OUT Burger and do a little shopping. I have to thank everyone there for being so patient with the terrible twos, colic, and mommy "breakdown". I am finding out quickly that it is much more difficult to travel with 2, than it is with 1. Next time I think we will take daddy!!


Spencer is quite our cool little dude. He struts around making sure everyone notices how awesome he is. Heidi and Bryce were great to let us come visit, and show us around.


We all got henna tatoos at the little carnival...even Spencer and my mom. Spencer went right up to the girl who was doing them and told her he wanted a football.


Zander is getting so big...he has already doubled in size. He is such a fun and smiley little baby when he is happy. But unfortunately he has quite the little redhead personality. When he has a temper....watch out!!


Here we are at the rodeo! Spencer loved watching the horses. He was pretty disappointed he couldn't participate though. Maybe next time!!


Cute aunt Heidi taking a turn with the Moby Wrap. This thing has been my lifesaver. We carry Zander everywhere in it! He loves it...especially when he is fussy and has a tummy ache. He curls right up in it and falls asleep. Thank you Moby Wrap!


My 2 adorible boys! I may be a little biased, but I am pretty sure they are the cutest boys in the world! These are taken at the yummiest pizza and pasta restaurant, right outside Zion National Park. Heidi and Bryce took us there for my birthday in April and I made a request to go back again this time. It's quite tasty!


Swimming at the resort. They have the funnest pool! Spencer with Nana in the hot tub...and that's right...he is wearing cowboy boots with his swimming suit. Don't ask!!! He likes to dress himself, and more often than not, it involves his cowboy boots.


Swimming with my sweet Spencer!

Looks like a fun time. That babe of yours is sure cute, and Spencer is getting so big! We stayed across from the Zion Ponderosa last year at Zion Mountain Resort, during fall conference, my dad does computer work there, so he was able to get us a free stay. Justin told me he saw you at Costco, he always gets to run into my friends. Where is this rodeo you went to? We went to the Oakley kids rodeo on the 4th and Izac was sad he didn't get to do Muttun bustin. Maybe we need to get together and let the boys play cowboy, Izac doesn't go anywhere witout his cowboy hat. Fun to see you, I'm so glad for blogs for that reason!!!!

Yay for the Ponderosa! I say "yay," but let's be honest, I'm ready for another break from it! We're trying to decide when it would be a good time to come up to SLC. We miss you guys!
