Trip To Utah

We just got back from a really nice relaxing trip to Utah. Lee had to go to some meetings so we made a vacation out of it and we took Dreyton while Zoë stayed with her Aunties and Grandma. We had so much fun that I had to convince Lee that we weren't going to move there (minus the day that I got deathly sick from what we think was food poisoning).

Dreyton slept before the plane even started moving and woke up after we had landed

My brother Ryan is officially ENGAGED! I took Katya out for ice cream one night while Lee and Ryan were able to get in her apartment and set it up pretty before she got back. She was sure shocked he was there a day early and in her apartment proposing. Lee took a video of it but its pretty poor quality since it was so dark at the time.

We went to a few restaurants there that I thought Lee may like.
Tucano's is pretty much a meat buffet where servers will come when you want them too with a variety of different meats.
The Mayan is a theme restaurant and there are divers that dive in the restaurant and do a skit.
The Training Table nothing fancy but it has a neat concept, they have phones at each table that you can place your order on when you are ready, instead of waiters coming around, and then they call you back when your order is ready

We went to Cabellas which is a neat outdoor store and I got a perfect round in a shooting range of 200 pts, Lee got 90 pts

That's better my boy

My cousin Julie's son Michael playing with Dreyton, they sure loved playing on that love sac

We went to Lee's work party the last night there where it was different game shows going on. We won two OGIO suitcases and two ipod portable boomboxes and then received some hats and shirts as well.

More of the Pool

We went to the pool every morning while we were at the hotel. We bought some waterwings for Zoë which worked amazing, she could float around by herself, and after a day was kicking to get around pretty good.

Daddy and Dreyton going for a swim

This doesn't have to do with the pool but I found it quite humerous that she fell asleep eating her apple

Red Deer

We have been having a tonne of fun in Red Deer the last couple of days. The whole hall that we are in are APX people so the kids just run around in the blocked off hallway together.
Dreyton splashing around

Zoë not sure whether to go into the pool or hot tub

Lee enjoying the pool to himself

Zoë has been having SO much fun with Sophie. They have very similar personalities, they are both so easy going its so fun to watch them play together.

When the hot tub overflows with people the water will overflow and makes a perfect kiddy splash area

Lee and Zoë went to Calgary

Lee went to Calgary for a funeral, so he brought Zoë to spend the day with Grandma,Auntie Dayna, and cousin Jayden. I on the other hand got to have a nice relaxing day with Dreyton and finish all the laundry, plus work on my basement that was in desperate need of some TLC.

Ring around the Rosie

Zoë and Emma LOVE playing ring around the rosie. I only have to sing, maybe I could just record it over and over again on a disc.

In Calgary for reading week

I forgot to take some pictures while we were in Calgary. Zoë and cousin Jayden LOVE being together, chasing each other around the house giggling and getting into other sorts of trouble. Lee and I were able to catch up with friends and family that we rarely are able to see which was nice, I was even able to go out on a girls night with Andrea while Lee was at home with the kids.

Zoë with attitude

Zoë playing with her friend Angela (impossible to get them both together looking at the camera)

Zoë on her first plane trip to Detroit

She did pretty good, was up most of the first plane which was the longest but she did have her own seat on that one which was nice. The second plane was filled up entirely but luckily she slept from the moment she got on to the moment she got off.


Bottle definetely was helpful on the trip

She just wanted to get up and go.
