Cousins and Big Trucks.

When we were up in Utah we tried to go and see things on an extremely TIGHT budget. We stayed with my brother John and had a great time. Savannah became the 'chicken whisperer' and LOVED to collect the eggs, talk to and hold the chickens. Here are just a few pictures of cousins and we also took my two nephews Kade & Boston up to Kennecott Copper Mine to look at the big trucks and look down in the largest open pit mine in the world. The kids had fun learning about all the things that we use in our home that come out of that mine.

Chad and Charlotte mowing the lawn. Charlie fell asleep while mowing. Aw... the days of mowing a 1/2 acre.


Charlotte & Boston. They got along SO well together.


Next to the Huge truck tires at Kennecott.





For us Arizonians it sure was chilly up there.

Challenger Space Center

Once a month the Challenger Space Center pulls out some of their HUGE telescopes for everyone to look it. It was lots of fun. We went with some new friends the Warmoths. We had a great time. We could see all sorts of plants and saw the bright star in the sky that we learned was Venus. Lacey told her oldest daughter, Halle (who is 12) that (meaning Venus) is where women are from. Halle said 'Really?' Lacey, 'yeah and men are from Mars.' Halle had a total shocked look on her face. Then Lacey told her she was teasing. I can't wait til my girls get older that I can tease them like that.

A future here????



Charlotte grabbed the telescope the first time and the guy had to realign it.



Pretty impressive of the moon for my little camera huh?
