Memorial Weekend

We decided to head up to our cabin this year for Memorial Day.  After we got the car all packed up, Das decided he wanted to take the bike out for a spin in remembrance of his father.  So he put on his fathers spiffy jacket, and took off.

We weren't expecting the best weather up at the cabin, but we sure didn't expect the snow either.  Luckily it didn't stick.
My sister Allison was already up there with her family and all there toys.  My nephew Taylor and his wife Paige showed up later with their toys.
The kids had a blast on them!
We'd like to get one of these little ones for the kids maybe next year.  Das took the larger ones out for a ride with my brother in law.
Taylor and me comparing our prego bellies.  I think he might be having twins. lol
The boys had so much fun with their cousins.  They didn't care how wet and muddy it was outside.  They road on the four wheelers/bikes, played by the fire pit, and shot bb guns the whole time.  We are going to have to get them some bb guns now as well.

There is a story that has been told ever since I was Tristan's age about "Old Man Jack."  I am not exactly sure how the story goes anymore, but my brother Mark has kept it alive.  And my kids are scared to death of him.  So we took them to the shack where he lives.   My brother recently purchased acres of land next to the cabin, and the shack just happens to be on his property now.  I am sure he will use that to his advantage to scare the youngins.
Monday morning Das took off with my brother in laws to golf Wasatch.  I sat around with the ladies eating and chatting.  Brad later gave Das some pointers on his swing.  Not like he needed any though.;)


As we started to pack up, the boys all wanted to get in one last ride.  We really had such a wonderful time with everyone.  You can always expect great food, company, and no sleep when spending time at the cabin.  Perfect weekend get away.  So glad we have the cabin to escape to. 

Swim Swim Swim

Last week the boys begged and begged to go swimming.  Unfortunately the weather was looking poor, and not many out door pools are open yet anyway.  So I told them they could each invite a friend, and we headed over to the JL Sorenson Rec Center. 
 For an indoor pool, it is really great!
 We will definitely be going back when the weather is bad.  Love that they have a special section that Logan had lots of fun in.
