The Tree House


Eli is running for President.... I'd vote for him!!!!

Eli the Jester..... just about the cutest one I have ever seen

Heather and Eli taking a rest in this crazy looking chair. How would you like to have one of those in your house?

And the Hottest fire fighter I have ever seen in my life

These were all taken at the Tree House children museum in Ogden. It is so kid friendly. There are so many things to do there and although Eli was a little bit young for some of it, there was plenty there for him to do. Again.... just one more place I would highly recommend if you are looking for a relatively cheap activity to go do with your kids.

Camping....camping....camping


Here are just a few shots of us at the campsite. We had so much fun, minus the whole 4 hours of rain that we had on Saturday. We spent a lot of time in the tent that day. But we still had a great time.








Eli loved marshmallows. He doesn't really love them cold, but cooked..... mmmmmmmm. He loved them.








Isn't this about the coolest thing in the world. This was our fire, but it looked just like a peace sign. I think its pretty cool.



One of my new favorites

Hill Air Force Base Museum

This museum is so cool. There are so many cool planes here. These are just a few random pictures of some of the stuff that we saw at the museum.

Eli as my little astronaut boy.... Isn't he so cute?

All these buttons and nobody to tell me 'no'

They had a little kid section that Eli just loved. They had different uniforms you can try on, and four different simulators that were basically like the coc pit of the planes that the kids are able to play around in. As you can see, Eli thought they were pretty dang cool.


I love this face.

Lara, Matt and Eli. I think this chair looks like an electric chair but it is actually just a pilots chair.


This one was Matt's favorite

And I had to throw this one in to show a size resemblance. Thats Eli and I standing in front of the largest airplane I have ever seen.

Eli Loves Dinasours

We had the best time last weekend. It was a very eventful fun filled weekend of camping, dinosaurs, airplanes, and trains. What more could a little boy want. We have been wanting to go camping so bad lately, and every time we try to go, something always came up. So on like Wed. we just decided that we were just going go... no ifs, ands or butts... were just going. We wanted to go somewhere that would have some fun things for Eli to do during the day so that we didn't just have to hang out at the camp all day. Well after doing a little bit of research, we decided to go to Ogden. Yeah, Yeah, I know.... really, Ogden? But don't judge just yet. There are so many things to do there, it is great for kids, especially a little boy. We camped at Fort Buenivotera right in the center of Ogden....(pictures to be coming soon). Friday we went to Hill Air Force Base. This is a very cool museum if you have not yet been to see it. I highly recommend it. The next day we went to the Dinosaur Park and then later in the afternoon, we went to the tree house. This is a big Children museum, also in Ogden. The next few posts are all about this fun weekend that we had. This post is about the wonderful Dinosaur Park that we went to.

Eli being so brave and touching the Dinosaur claw

Look at the size comparison


Again, look at the size comparison..... He looks so cute in this picture

This picture says it all


I love this picture

Lara as a Dinosaur rider..... I think there is a future there... What do you think?

Heather being so brave and putting a live snake around her neck. I was going to do it to, but they had a much bigger one that they were going to take out a little while later and I was going to old that one, but then they never did..... I was very sad.

Another Family Photo

The sacrifice of Eli

I don't know if you can see it in this picture, but Eli was terrified.... Very, Very, Very scared. But of course they thought it would make a great picture.... and I have to admit, it is pretty priceless, I don't know if he will ever forgive us though.
