Our Goodman Family: Snow Canyon/Mud Fight

After Ogden we headed down to St George. We drove out of Casper in a snow blizzard, two days later we were in 80 degree weather. It was beautiful. Ty and Rachel flew into St. George with 6 week old baby Ada the same day we got there. I loved getting to see and hold Ada for the first time!

We went to Snow Canyon for a few hours and have a little picnic. It was nice to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. It was fun to have Grandma and Grandpa Great come with us as well.

I can't help but take a TON of pictures!!

At the top with Daddy

Of course I was scared to death to watch these little monkeys climb the rock, but I'm sure impressed with how well they did. No fear!

Auri got to be my little joey while we were out.

Grandpa and Lincoln at the very top, scary!

These two are just too cute:)

They made their own little city.

Four Generations of Goodmans

So happy to be outside

Grandpa and the sweet babies. Rachel and I took the babes to Grandpa's work the day before. It was so funny to watch all the ladies goo-goo over the girls. He held them through out the building just like this. At one point he was seriously surrounded by 20 women at once checking out the girls. I love how big and fat Auri is and how itty bitty Ada is. They are 2 months apart. Love it!

Those rare family photos:)

They love to listen to Grandma read books.

(And their poor faces, I forgot to put sunsceen on them!)

Aunt Diane's daughter Heather came and stayed over one night on her way to Vegas. It had been so long since Mike had seen her that I had to introduce them all over again. She was sweet:)

Girly cousins! (Ok I guess not so "girly" with Quoi's attire, but it's still cute.)

Lincoln and Ty made a mud volcano.

Their mud volcano turned into a mud war.

Awesome! Love you Quoi! While playing she said, "I'm a MONSTER! I live in a icky situation!" And "You guys are making me have so much fun."

They loved every minute:)

Me, my crazy hair, and Little Ada

Right after the mud fight, Tenille called! She was in St George at the same time we were, and only TWO blocks away from Grandma's house. Crazy! So we went and visited with her and Jon for a bit. It was good to see them and get to see Koban before he's too big!

I can't believe these two are 2 days apart! He's so big, and she's mini:)

They were so happy to get there picture taken.

Colby and Juli were endowed on Friday, then sealed on Saturday. It was a wonderful experience to be a part of. We just love them. We've loved getting to know them so well. And it was special to get to be with Mike in the temple and to think about our future. I sure love you mister! ;)

Mike, me, Juli, Colby, Sister Monson, Sister Yellowhair (the sister missionaries who gave the discussions to Juli before she was baptized.)

We are so grateful we were able to be there! It was a great trip!!

Saturday after the sealing, we packed up and headed to Lehi and stayed the night at Annie's. Ty and Rachel drove up with us as well. It was fantastic, Mike and Ty rode in the van with ALL THE KIDS, and Rachel and I drove in the car. Heaven!! Thank you my sweet Mikey. I got a good nap in and had fun chatting with Rachel.

The kids had a blast with their cousins!! We stayed up late and chatted, went to church the next morning, then hit the road for home. Thanks for letting us stay Annie, and for the delicious cherry pie! (I made 3 pies while in St George, obsessed! Kim had a hard time believing me I ate 5 pieces in one sitting. I know, I'm disgusting.)
