The Magical Layton Park

Not that I'm biased, but the Layton Park is the most beautiful park EVER. Where else do you find an amazing duck pond, winding paths, scenic bridges, and a playground with the banished, dangerous, retro merry-go-round!


Six boys under the age of 8 -- all under one roof at Grandma's house!


Oh the memories of being thrown from a merry-go-round. The boys cannot get enough! I must be a grown-up now, because I thought I would die after getting on just to take this picture. (Oh, the dizziness!)

Life at Grandma's

Life at Grandma's is pretty good. I did have to lay down the rules for my mom, though: No cooking or cleaning up after the kids. Just "Grandma Stuff" -- leave all the dirty work to me.

Grandma loves a good tea party. She has been known to throw together some Root Beer/Diet Coke mixers.

Tea parties with 6 little boys can be a little rough. Grandma has to deal with plenty of burps, spills and the occasional food fight.



Cheers!

Grandma hosted a Mad Libs party. The boys were pretty hilarious! (I just LOVE Utah Summer nights!!!)

Here's Jack and Dallin's Studio Apartment -- complete with kitchen table, fridge, toaster and sink. I walked in the other day at 4 p.m. and found them all eating cereal and Eggo's. They think they are so cool!

Viva Las Vegas!

Goodbye Las Vegas
(Or "Lost Begas" as the little guys call it.)


We dragged the boys to various Las Vegas sites during our last few weeks as "Vegans." Don't they look thrilled in these pics? Cameron is my favorite -- he looks thoroughly dejected that we are taking his picture.

The beautiful Bellagio gardens.

Our farewell fountain shows were two of the cheeziest songs: "One, Singular Sensation" from A Chorus Line and "My Heart Will Go On," from Titanic.

Ahhh, Max Brenner -- my dream restaurant come true! I felt like I was at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Even the air smelled like chocolate!

Jack and Dallin loved their cocoa and milkshakes.

Here's Carson's chubby little paw going after the amazing cake/chocolate/marshmallow hamburger complete with strawberry ketchup and creamy mayo dipping sauces.

Cameron was in complete heaven.
