MY STAR

So we got home from Utah Monday night at like 6:00 and Cody had a basketball game at 9:00 And man was he on Fire he made 8 3 pointers that game and if you have seen Cody shoot a three it is not at the line it is about it can be 3feet or six feet away from the 3 pointer line so making 8 of them is WOW and was i one proud wife good game and they won Great job Cody

next game i will try to take some picture it is just really dark in the gym so they don't turn out very good

A week of Thanksgiving

So i think this will be my biggest post yet so get ready...

Wednesday morning at 5:00 a.m. we got up to get ready to be at my parents house by 8:00, Terri , Gil , and Hayli were meeting us there to head to Utah. Well we borrowed a van so we could all fit in the same car and be together and boy were we in Brigham City we picked up Tyler at Uncle Kerry's house. Than made it to Park City Where the California Family flew into and Grandparents were there and we stayed at Cody's Uncle Eric and Aunt's Julie's house. the first night we went to play basketball at Julie's school were she works and i played with Piper (she is Julie's oldest daughter she is 2years old)


Cody 's team won both times the whole family is pretty competitive so it made it a fun time to watch


Than Tyler was try to do dance lifts with Hayli and he did pretty good


just the grandkids the oldest is 25 years old Which is Cody and the youngest is 2 weeks old


After Basketball we just hung out playing cards, eating, just visiting, and Laughing what just make a vacation fun!

TURKEY DAY!!!!
we started with Family photos which turned out pretty good cause they haven't had a family photo all together for a very long time so it was a much needed photo.




Terri and her Brothers and parents


This is Cody's Family


All the Grand kids (but one is on a mission)




We had a lot of cooks in the Kitchen





But i was busy holding the new baby that was two weeks old ( she belongs to Julie and Eric)








You always have to have a nap on Thanksgiving Day






Than that night Cody,Terri,Gil,Hayli, and me went to see park city the old part and the old homes and we wanted to do a little shopping but the stores didn't open until midnight because of black Friday so we went to a movie 007 James Bond. Than went shopping until about 2:30 a.m. it was fun we got some good deals.

The drive to St. George
so we had 6 people in the van and 3 golf bags and all of our bags and what we bought shopping so i think we really couldn't fit another thing in there. We went swimming the night when we got there and went to the movie Australia is was good the first 30 minutes was really slow but after that it was good. it is a long movie so if you go make sure you get some treats :)!! well ini the house there wasn't evnough rooms for everybody so all the kids were in a tent so i even went camping

Saturday was golfing for Cody,Tyler,Grandpa,and Gil and everyone else went SHOPPING YEAH but since we did a lot of shopping we neede to have some CRAZY shopping


After that we went to in and out Burger place it was really good they have only three items to choose from Hamburger cheese burger or a double double which is a hamburger and cheese.
Than we went to a Christams navity program in the Tuahcan out doors stage and than rode a little train around the area.





We went to and played more games.


Sunday we went to Church came home and took more family pictures



than got some KFC and went to the Red Rocks and climbed.

It was Derek's 19 th birthday so we had cake and a pinic.







Grandma was tring to fit in this little hole cause Janice weas able to and she said"if you can fit through that than i can brezze through it " well she was all talk but it was extremly funny to watch



and went between these two HUGE Rocks that you can barely fit between and it was pretty neat at the time when it was tight i was trying not to panic i couldn't have done it with out Cody helping me along




but it was really pretty there













This is just a nice picture of Tyler and Terri


This was a really neat tree that we all climbed


Than Monday our last day of Vacation was getting to drive all the way back home YEAH on our way home we stopped a lot cause you need to move around get some fresh air and potty breaks. so one of our breaks i got some bubble gum and cody and i had a bubble gum contest but the good bubble were hard to get on camera so these were okay



Hayli, tyler and Calli were in the back seat
Than Gil and Terii were up front and so that left cody and i in the middle
