So Curtis had his brothers and their families over last weekend to have some fun with the Wii and the Wii Fit. Watching everyone do the hula hoop was hilarious! Check out Curtis!
Go Curtis go!

Swings!
Okay, so I decided to take a break from reading "Eclipse" to play with my kids. I figured since I'm on the 3rd book now and the 4th one doesn't come out until Aug that I can take my time reading this book. As you can see, they are having tons of fun. Garrett absolutely loves playing on the swings. He's always wanting to go outside to play.
Garrett loves his swing.

Our weekend
Okay, now that I've finally broken away from my book and found some spare minutes I will tell you what we did during our weekend that will help tell about the pictures I've already posted.
So we left Idaho at about 5:15 a.m. Thurs morning to head for our weekend in Utah. I was surprised at how quickly time flew by because we had our cousin Alivia traveling with us and kept us talking (more Curtis than me) most of the time. I didn't even notice when we passed Twin Falls or Burley. Then of course I started to read my book, "Twilight". We didn't stop until Tremonton to gas up and have a break.
Then we stopped again in Odgen to take a look at the Flowrider (surfing machine). It was pretty neat but we were breathing chlorine big time. That stuff was so strong. Also in the same building was rock wall climbing and indoor skydiving. I would love to do all of those. Anyway, then we continued on where we dropped off Alivia in Bountiful and then to Salt Lake where we were able to relax for awhile and eat lunch.
When Curtis's brother Nic and his wife, Celeste and daughter Taelyn showed up at the condo we all went down to the pool to swim. About a half hour later the security guard came and told us that our kids had to be over 2 yrs old and toilet trained to be able to swim and apparently it was some residents that complained to the security guard when they saw us in there. So the guys took the babies out while the girls stayed and swam awhile longer. After swimming, we got cleaned up and dressed and went out to dinner at the Pie Pizzaria in Salt Lake by the University. We ate a 23 inch pizza and it was the biggest one we'd ever seen or eaten before and it was very good too. Then it was back to the condo to watch the season finale of LOST, our favorite TV show.
Friday morning we went out to Springville to visit Deedra's mother and Grandparents. We had a nice time visiting there and ate lunch with them. We were there for about 5 hours. As you can see from the pictures, the kids, my mom, and I were outside for awhile shooting hoops with a bouncy ball. The kids had a real good time with Gma Marsha, especially Nikki.
Afterward, we headed off to Derek and Rachel's where we first stopped in Murray to get discount tickets for Lagoon. And what do you know, right across the street from Costco is the high school where David Archuleta is from. I know, I had to throw that in there. Anyway, then we went to Derek's house in Kearns where we talked, ate dinner, and played a few video games. Nikki was so mad that we were going to leave because I had told her she was going to be there all day (Saturday). So since we were going to be dropping her off the next morning anyway, she ended up spending the night. The next morning when we came to drop off Garrett she got upset as soon as she heard our voices because she did not want to leave yet. Of course we told her we weren't taking her home yet. We were headed off to Lagoon with Nic and Celeste. Derek & Rachel watched Garrett and Nikki for us while we went to Lagoon all day and we had a blast! I was so tired by the end of the night that every time I closed my eyes I felt like I was on a roller coaster or some other ride still. So the fun still continued even after we were done, hehe. Then we packed up Sunday morning and headed home, where I finally got to do some more reading of my book again. I'll note that I've been reading it all day today and am now halfway through already.
Well, that was our weekend. Hope you had fun reading about it and hope your weekends were enjoyable also!
