Sunday Afternoon

On Sunday morning Blair asked if I wanted to fly to St. George and visit my Grandparents. I thought it might be something fun to do and of course the boy's wanted to go.

I really wanted to get out of the snow and maybe see some sunshine and warm weather.

Well........ It turned out not to be sunny in St. George, but there wasn't snow and that was
just fine. The boys loved being outside and not having to put on coats, snow boots, gloves,
and so on.

While we were at my Grandparents house Shawn kept saying he wanted to go back in the airplane and "go fly". He loves every minute in the plane. He has to look out the window when we take off and land. Dylan and Carson love to go flying too.
Here's Hurricane Utah, that's actually where my grandparents live. Its nice cause the Hurricane airport is right by their house. The only thing I don't like is that the airport is really small. Blair teases me by saying "It's like landing on a sidewalk". Not what I want to hear! He thinks it's funny though.

Zions with snow. It's kinda pretty.Then we're back home in the snow and cold. If you can't tell I like the weather in St George better.

Flight to St. George

We all flew down to St. George for the day and had Sunday dinner with my Grandparents. It only takes 2 hours so it was like going to Grandma's on a Sunday afternoon. We had dinner, played outside at Grandpas pond and at the Virgin River, and visited for a while. The weather was perfect. Then we flew home that afternoon. It was really cool cause we got back to the Salt Lake Valley just after dark so we could see the entire valley lit up. Dylan said it looked like we were in a Christmas tree, lol. Then when we got back we went straight from the airport out to dinner with my family for Justin's 21st birthday.

Blair is building up hours for his Commercial license so we will have lots of fun opportunities to fly places. Next week I think Blair and his Dad are flying to Lake Powell for the day.

My boys love to go flying with Blair. At least one of them goes every time. Me on the other hand, I get a little nervous when we go. Luckily this was a great day to go. There wasn't a breeze and it was a smooth ride. I still try to keep my mind busy by watching movies or taking these pictures. These pictures don't do justice to how amazing it looks from up there. I will have a lot more pictures of us flying in the future. My camera wasn't working on this trip, so I used my cell phone that’s why the pictures aren't very good. Anyway, It was really fun and it didn't even feel like it was a short trip. Probably cause we were actually down there for most of the day. Definitely worth the trip!

Now we'll see if my Mom is brave enough to go down with Blair next time to visit Grandma Sandy, lol ;)

This is Salt Lake!

Dylan said that it looked like we were in a Christmas tree.

Weekend get away!

We spent the weekend up at Powder Mountain in a condo. We had such a good time. We mainly just relaxed. We did a lot of swimming and we played in the snow. Blair made us go "exploring" and any who knows Blair knows what that means, he just about killed us. I was so tired after. We also played some board games together and we had a killer game of Mario Party 3. Blair won and of course he rubbed our faces in it. He is not a graceful winner. lol :) It was so much fun cause it snow quite a bit while we were up there and it felt like Christmas.

Dylan and Carson both like to snowboard.

Even Shawn had a good time in the snow, he mainly wanted to eat it.

The condo we stay in had two bedrooms downstairs and a loft upstairs. This is a view from upstairs.

This is the room Dylan and Carson stayed in.
