Take me back....

Last summer, my family took a trip for a couple of days to Lava Hot Springs.  We had access to a couple of cabins up there that a friend of the family let us use.  We had the cabins for 4-5 days and took full advantage of every second of them.  We haven't been to Lava Hot Springs since the year Troy was born, so we were all excited to go.

There was a lot exploring and hiking...

Lots of climbing... 

Lots of soaking in the hot springs... 

 And of course lots of swimming in the pools...

One of the cabins had this cool looking campfire site just a short hike away from it.  We spent every night roasting marshmallows up there.

 Oh and we can't forget Brooks birthday!

What a lucky boy to be on vacation on his big day.

Last day here called for lots of family pictures.  The kids were such good sports.  I pretty sure we took 50+ pics that morning. 

Great grandpa Ted with his grandkids

The Perry Fam

The Hofhine Clan

Dad, mom and grandpa

On our way out of town, we decided to rent some tubes to float the river.  So so so FUN!  I think this was the highlight of the trip.  The kids were grinning from ear to ear the whole time.  We rode it down 4 or 5 times.

  

We were sad that Cody, Wendy and their kids couldn't come with us.  We missed them tons. Cute baby Hayden was born just a week or two before.  We did promise them that we would do it again soon.

St. George Marathon

I am more than two months behind on my blog...

When does life ever slow down long enough for me to catch up???  If I ever want to get caught up, I might have to skip some events or combine a few into one post.  Either way = No fun!

Back in October, over General Conference weekend, Clint, his mom, Troy, Carter and I went to St. George to watch him to run his 4th and final Marathon of the year!!!  Four marathons in one year.....REALLY?!?!? What can I say?? He's Amazing:) 

We headed down Thursday night, so we could hang out and have some fun on Friday.  Poor Clint though woke up with some kind of stomach flu and spent the ENTIRE day in bed.  I really can't imagine how he recovered enough to run the next day.  He's a trooper!

So that left Terra and I spending the day at the pool watching the boys swim. What a hard life ;)

Oh and of course reading.....

Picking up his packet the night before the race.

First time out of bed all day.

He even came and hung out with me later that night while I worked out.  He's such a good sport.  I know he REALLY wanted to go back to bed.  

Troy was lucky that the Tooth Fairy was able to find us on vacation!

I love how excited the boys get watching out for their daddy.

And he finishes!!!

Not too shabby!

You would have never guessed he was sick the day before.

 Clint with one of his BIGGEST supporters! 

His mom

He's such a momma's boy... I LOVE it!

It's tradition to stop at this gas station and sit in the HUGE rocking chair.

While Mom's Away the Kids Will Play.....

While I was recharging my batteries with a girl's weekend, Clint and the boys had their own little weekend away.  They hit the sand dunes. They couldn't stop talking about it when they got home.    

 Rob and the boys

Daddy and his 3 boys

Tanner and Troy

Scoob and Carter

The whole gang including the Christianson boys.

And while the boys were off doing boy things....

Miss Blakley was getting spoiled by her Grandma Terra and her cousin Lela.  LUCKY GIRL!  They took her to Gardner Village to see all the witches.

Looks like it was a WIN, WIN situation for everyone!
I HEART weekends like that.
