I am so behind with my blog this year. I guess being abnormally large with your fourth child will do that to you. The beginning of the month Mark's mom turned 60. For her birthday she wanted all her kids to be together so she paid for hotel rooms for us all in Utah. We got together and played and went swimming the next day with a bbq that followed at her brother's house. It was great. We appreciated her generosity when it was her special day. I didn't get many pictures and somehow most of them ended up being of Jonas but what can ya do?
It was a great trip and we were glad to have a break in our every day life. I will have to do one last post before the baby comes with updated belly pics (mainly just to capture the shock of how big I am) and my big boy starts kindergarten on the 3rd! We most definitely will be documenting that. For now we are just surviving summer and waiting for fall to get here. I'm ready for cooler weather and a new baby boy!
The ride down was great. My kids have always loved the car. They're all saying "Utah!" Love my little travelers.
Jonas got antsy so he had a ring pop. This picture does not even kind of capture the mess.
Once we got there the kids had fun running down the hall and jumping on the beds and going from room to room (we had 6 reserved for Mark's whole family). We had dinner and then followed that with swimming at the hotel. Jonas was incredibly upset when we hauled him out.
But they were exhausted! It took a little bit for them to settle down but when they did, they were out.
We went to this great water park last year for the Norris family reunion and we all wanted to go back. They are super cheap and they have a section for everyone of every age. My kids loved going down this slide with Mark and then, much to my surprise, Weston ended up going down this slide over and over all by himself!! I was so proud of him. Mark would catch him but even if he didn't Wes would pop right up and start doggy paddling to the side. So glad we did swimming lessons this year!
Jonas stuck to his daddy like glue. He loved the little kiddie area where he could splash all day long.
Marlene requested that each family choose a color for a group picture. So here we are at her brother's house. The food was great and the company too but we didn't get to stay long. We had to get back for church the next day but next time we will make sure we plan more time there.
The siblings. Not very often are they all together.
