Fun at 11,000 feet

We ventured up to Snowbird today.  We had a lot of fun!  Alex on the coaster.
 Derek and Alex on the mountain flyer.
 Enjoying the view on the tram.
 What a view.
 Taking some selfies.
 Cheese!
 Enjoying the view and the mountain.
 Derek posing it up.
 They boys building rock towers.
 Man pose

 The boys scaling the rocks.



 The wildflowers were so pretty!
 Riding down on the ski lift.
 After getting off the lift Jason says that was relaxing huh?  Ashley and Derek's reply, 'That was a little scary.' 

 The boys loved the tramps.
 One of our favorites is the alpine slide.

  One more selfie
I love watching the boys with Ashley and Derek.
I can't believe it has already been a week.  It has passed too fast, but we had a lot of fun.  We are so thankful we have an open adoption and are able to see our birth families.  Adoption is such a huge part of our life.  It is how we grew our family.  We didn't gain two children, we gained so many amazing birth family members along with them!  Thank you guys for coming out, it means the world to us!

Mountain fun on 4-wheelers

 We had so much fun 4-wheeling today!  Alex only fell asleep once.  I am not sure how he is able to sleep on such a bumpy ride!
 Mama Ashley and Derek
Enjoying his lunch break.
 We can't forget to take selfies!
 Alex and grandpa enjoying the view!
What a fun day!

Happy 5th Birthday Alex!

This guy is 5!
What do you do on your 5th birthday? Have light saber fights of course!
 Go out to eat and color with your birth mama.
 And party Star Wars style.





 We are so glad mama Ashley and Derek got to be here for his birthday!



Happy Birthday Alex!  We love you so very much!

Museum of Curiosity and The Great Salt Lake

We started the day off by going to the Museum of Curiosity.  We had never gone there so we wanted to go check it out.  The boys had a blast!



 The grown-ups got into it too.  After all we paid to get in.
 We took a lunch break and went back in to play.
 This is such a great place to explore and have fun!
 When we came home Ashley and Derek gave Alex presents.

 And he gave them big hugs!

 Then we decided to go to the Great Salt Lake.
 We didn't come prepared to play in the water.  We actually had never been in the water, so the boys go to play in their undies.
