Where's Bella?

Here we are in Bella's school gym at some amazingly huge all-district orchestra thing. If you need help, Bella plays the bass.




Then there's this cute kid.

Hotel Fun

Indoor pool!  Outside of Boise.  Cruddy hotel, but nice pool.

Trip to Utah

Grandma and Pa celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on April 20. Aunt Kristy threw them a big party, and we were invited. Woot!  We stayed with Kristy & Steve and Grandma & Pa in Utah.
 
First, some pics of Brennan and Bella at Temple Square.

We bought some bottled soda drinks at the Pantry (in the basement of the Lion House) and of course they thought it would be hilarious to pretend they were drinking alcoholic beverages while gazing at the Church Office Building.  I don't know where they get this stuff....heh

This is the one pic I took at the anniversary party - Carter enjoying a spin on a press room stool.  Durpy mother.

This is my favorite - my five babes in silhouette outside the Bountiful Temple, where we became a forever family.  They were being absolutely stinky about having their picture taken but somehow they managed to look wonderful.  Probably since we can't see their faces (wink, wink).
 
It was a fun trip.

Utah Randomness

More pics from the Utah trip.

Once we landed in Utah, we decided to take a break in Brigham City.  Found a local park and, just as sure as day must turn to night, out came the soccer ball.











Playing at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. We have access... ahem.






Hanging in downtown SLC, checking out the new mall.  Good job, SLC peeps!

We went to a Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearsal while we were there.  I've always wanted to attend one and yay!  I finally got my chance.  The LDS Orchestra practices with them.  VERY cool.

And no visit to SLC is complete without a visit and a pic of this beautiful place...
