The Birthday Girl

I can't believe she's 12! sniff.. sniff.. Happy Birthday Kate we love you!!

Havasupai

Dillon and I have been wanting to go to Havasupai since we first got married, it just never worked out until this year, we had been planning this trip since January and of course we had a little mishap with Gage so we thought we wouldn't be going.
We decided that Gage was going to be fine and that we would go ahead and go.
In about and hour and half we got our packs all packed and dropped Gage off at my moms and where on our way!
After a really long car ride nine hours to be exact, we spent the night in a hotel which is about an hour away from the parking lot to Havasupai, we got up the next morning and drove to the parking lot unloaded our stuff and started our hike.
The hike was beautiful but long and I have to admit that my pack was killing my collar bones, not really something I thought about when I was getting fitted for my pack. It was a fun trip and we look forward to doing it again now that we know what to expect.

Here are some pictures of the trip hopefully you can get and idea of how beautiful it really is.

Quack Quack!

A few weekends ago we went down to a pond that's near BYU campus and they have a bunch of ducks, Gage had a blast chasing them and a nice person that was there gave him a piece of bread to feed them any way it was cheap entertainment

We went to Disneyland!!

Gage and I got to tag along with Amy and the kids to Disneyland, we went about two weeks ago and yes I'm just getting around to blogging it! We had a great time thanks Amy for letting us come, hopefully we where some help! (I did try to up date the blog yesterday but my little buddy Gage turned off the computer!! Love him.)

Gage and Monson watching the kids on the ride (sorry don't remember which ride it was).

We went to the beach on Sunday it was a great day to go! Of course the water was freezing I don't know how the kids could stand being in it, oh to be young again.

Gage didn't really care for the sand that much at first but after just observing for awhile he decided that is wasn't so bad, then he wasn't content just sitting and playing in the sand he had to check it all out.

This is all the kids at the beach, Taft, Hunter, Monson, Kate, Gage and Millie, yeah Gage didn't really want to stop for a picture.

The petting zoo at Disneyland was a highlight for Gage he didn't want to pet the animals but he was great at making all there sounds.

I like how Gage and Millie are looking at this cows behind

Monson petting the goat, He also tried to pick up the Sheep.

A boy and his dog

Gage loves Lexi, he could play outside with her all day if we let him.
This paticular day Dad was doing something on the roof and so he let Lexi
out for a bit so she could run around, Gage was loving watching her run around
in the snow and enjoyed some yummy licks from her as well.

Just wanted to do a quick update, I know I haven't blogged in awhile I've spent the last week in St. George taking care of my niece and nephews while Bob and Robyn enjoyed some much needed R&R with her family on a cruise.
The week went well there where definitely times that I thought to myself why did I say I would do this? Keep in mind that there youngest Gilbert is just 10 days younger then Gage and Gwyn is just 15 months older then Gil so lets just say I was very busy!! The boys had a great time playing together, I had to break up some fights of course and Gwyn thought it was great when Gage would chase here around the house. Abe and Tucker where pretty helpful, they did try to see what they could get away with of course (Boys).
I'm glad that I was able to help out and it was fun to spend time with the Lamoreaux's because even though I see them quite a bit its just not the same as spending some quality time together.
Love you guys.
