Montana

Well we made it to Montana for the 4th and had a blast! It was freezing cold, so we had to wear wetsuits/drysuits in my case, to go water skiing, but we still had tons of fun.

We were so happy to have uncle Tyson home so we could play with him in Montana.

Nothing better than peanut butter on a spoon!

Catch phrase is a must!

Family shots on the rock. We should have been water skiing rather than taking pictures. (Just look at that water)

60's and softball

Here is a fun picture of 60's night where we did leader of the pack and brought down the house. SO FUN!!!

The night before the performance we played softball and greg threw a fast ball to me that was a little too fast, and I got hit in the face for my first black eye. I am nervous that my eye is still not healed and I may have to have surgery on in :(

4 Generations of West Boys

We went to California to see Greg's grandpa for his 90th birthday. He is one of the sweetest men you will ever meet and we had a great time with our family.

Dance the night away

Here is a little video of Hailey spring dance recital:

Memorial Day at the Zoo

We took the kids to the Zoo for Memorial day, to have a little family time. Apparently, that is what most of Utah was thinking. I have never seen the zoo that busy, but we still had a blast. Hailey got to see her elephants, and she could have sat there all day.

Gavin was in awe of all the animals and he couldn't stop saying, "oooh and aahh".

You have to do the carousel right? Gavin screamed when we took him off.

and of course the train:

and back to the elephants for little Hailey

Hawaii

We had our first Adams family reunion in Hawaii this year. Pretty awesome!!! We went to Maui and had a great time. We played on the beach and in the pool. We left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa so we could go snorkeling, which was amazing. My brother Chase almost stepped on a sea turtle. We saw 4 huge sea turtles while snorkeling, and lots of beautiful fish. It was heaven to wake up to the sound of the ocean and run alongside the beach in the morning, then lay on it in the afternoon, then watch the sun set from it in the evening. It was truly my heaven.

Gavin and Hailey had so much fun. When they woke up the first morning, we heard a knock on our door, so Greg went to open it... it was Hailey, "Dad! Look! The ocean!" and Gavin was looking and pointing, "THIS!!!"

We actually did an organized family activity and left the kids with Miss. Alice (an islander/babysitter). We went zip lining, which was a ball.

We then got ready and went to a fun luau, where we got to taste food from four different islands/cultures. The food was great and the entertainment was very fun for the kids.

Gavin especially loved the Lava Flows:

Girls Vegas Trip

Every year my girlfriends take a trip to Vegas to take some much needed relaxation time. I can't remember the last time I did that much shopping. Shopping is relaxing... right? We were on a mission to shop! We had a great time and got some wonderful sun time as well.

We had fun playin' around... what else are you gonna do when you don't go to the clubs or gamble. We ran into some guys that were really confused at the fact that we were in Vegas and had no plans to "explore" all of what Vegas has to offer, but we had a ball.

Lounging with no kids = bliss

Thanks girls for a great trip!

Happy Birthday Gavin 4/20/09

My sweet little man is 1!!! I am so amazed at how much he has grown over the last year, and a little sad that he is no longer a baby, but very happy to have the baby stage over with.

He is a momma's boy for sure and love's to be right on my hip. He loves to make people laugh and loves any kind of encouragement. He loves to wrestle and slobber all over anyone who will lay on the floor and take it. He has certainly stolen my heart.

Walking around a little, and he is walking more and more every day.

The baseball cake I made for his birthday:

For those of you who know Gavin, you already know that he is such a man, but here is more proof with "The Man Laugh"
