This is the Place......

This blog is actually of a couple of places, but mostly it is of "This is the Place Monument". It was so amazing. I have never been there before. Yes, I know, lived in Utah my whole life and I have never been there. We went there while Grandpa Doug and Grandma Shar were in town.

These first couple of pictures are actually of Thanksgiving Point Farm. We went there a month or so ago with some of our really good friends. The boys loved it. The lines were a bit out of control and there were to many people there, but it was still a lot of fun.

Eli made friends with this little girl really quick. The line really was moving very slowly and he had plenty of time to make friends. They talked and talked and they were so cute together.



This picture was from Justin's Softball game. I'm not sure why they had a box there or exactly why they thought it would be so funny to put Ethan in it, but he looks happy enough and is just so stinking cute. Look at the smile and such fuzzy hair. I love it.

Now start the pictures of this is the place. This was the train that we road right at the beginning. It goes around the whole park and it takes you to different stops so that you don't have to walk the entire park.



This was an old original school. They actually still teach at it. The teacher said she teaches a couple classes a week.


The petting zoo was a major hit with the boys. As always, anything that involves animals is sure to win the love from my boys. They love animals.








I wish I had one of these in my backyard. They are the cutest little houses. All toddler sized and the boys had so much fun playing in this little miniature village. I just love this picture because they are just sitting there talking to each other. I love when the brothers play so nice with each other. The older it gets, I think I have noticed that the fights are getting a little meaner, but the love and consideration of his brother is also getting better. The extremes are getting more extreme I guess. If that makes any sense.

The boys panning for gold. There is still a lot of fools gold in this little stream. The boys thought it was pretty dang awesome when they found some. Eli was exceptionally fascinated and once he figured out what he was looking for, he was very determined to find some more.

More fun with Family....

Heather and Randall Fegley

Just a little over a month ago, my favorite sister in law got herself married. It was a party all the way around. A very fun wedding, and very beautiful. The whole day was just perfect. I personally was a tad bit worried about the weather, since it rained most of the morning, but by mid afternoon, it had cleared up and was the most perfect weather for the ceremony. And the reception, that was just a party all the way around. It was sooooo much fun and there was lots of dancing and good food, friends, and family.

The first few pictures were a few days early at the wedding rehearsal. Eli was a ring barrier and Ethan was suppose to just walk next to him. All in all, it turned out okay, considering Ethan is not even 18 months old yet. But we will get to that in a bit. So at the rehearsal, the boys had a blast just playing on the rocks and running around why they were working on other things.

Heather, Justin, Matt, and Kasey. Matt and all of his brothers and sisters. Such an awesome family that I married into. I love them all so much.

Bree, Heather, and Taylor. Heather and two of her four bridesmaids.

Ethan checking out the golf course.

I just have to say it now, my boys look sooooo handsome when they are all dressed up in their church clothes. And especially cute this night because they were matching, and they both had their hair done. They just looked so very handsome and very grownup. Definitely future missionaries.


I am pretty sure that Ethan could have spent all night sitting in these rocks and throwing them to another section of the rock pile. He was in heaven.

Justin and his Favorite little man, Ethan.

Eli looking very grown-up, responsible, and extremely handsome. He did such and amazing job and I was so proud of him. He walked down the isle just the way he was suppose to and he stood right by his uncle Justin and behaved himself the entire ceremony. He was so perfect. His brother on the other hand. Well..... He started out really well, Eli was holding his hand and the pillow with the other, and Ethan was walking really well down the isle, but then he got sidetracked and Eli slowed down and bit to try to get Ethan back on track and this in turned slowed the flower girls down, so I just ended up picking him up and Eli went on his way by himself. It was okay, I think Heather understood that she was asking for a miracle for it to work perfectly, and sometimes miracles do happen, but today was not one of those days. But still, Eli picked up the speed a little, caught back up and did the rest of his part perfectly.

The beautiful bride.

The beautiful bride and "cheeks" as is often referred to.
Grandma Gaye and Eli.

Eli and Ethan, and the two flower girls. For how young they all were, they all did such a great job.

Eli Matthew May.

Eli being way more himself. Notice the cheezy, spontaneous, fun, carefree look. Yep, that is my Little Man.

Little Mr. Personality right here. Ethan is so charismac, and such a charmer. Notice that he is missing a shoe... yep, not sure how long he had been missing it, or were it even was. We did eventually find it, but I am not even sure when he lost it.

I love this picture and I am not even sure why I love it. It just is sooo Ethan. He is such a funny little boy.

My two most handsome little boys that I am so extremely grateful for and love so much that I cant even explain it. They are the most precious thing in the world and I thank God every day that he trusted me enough to raise such special spirits.

Heather and her crazy brothers. Matt, Heather, Justin, and Kasey.

This picture is soooo classic and honestly probably one of my favorite pictures from the whole wedding. These four are so funny and this is such a perfect picture of all of them.

All the handsome men. Eli, Matt, Corbin, Randall, Ethan, Justin, Kasey.

All the men with Heather.

Heather and all of her siblings, spouses, and kids.

My cute little family. I love them so much.

So the next few series of pictures are from the reception. I just have to tell you a little about this reception. It was an all out dance party and it was so much fun and so Heather and Randall. Heather has been dancing for as long as I have known her and she has a love for music so this reception was very fitting for her personality, I thought at least. Matt was the DJ and he just kept the hits coming, one after another. And to continue the fun of this night. If you have ever met my boys, you will know that they have that same love of music that their dad and Aunt Heather have. If they hear a beat, or any kind of music for that matter, they will start dancing, almost anywhere. Well that was how the night was set up and it continued for the whole reception and then some.

I feel a little bit bad because to be honest, my boys kind of took center stage on the dance floor. They were having so much fun and they just danced there little hearts out all night long. I thought for sure that they would eventually crash, or get tired, or want to take a break, but no way, they just kept going all night long. As you will see from the numerous videos, the boys had an amazing time.

Congratulations Randall and Heather. I wish you two the best of luck and we Love you two so much. Welcome to the family Randall and Corbin.
