The State Fair

By -
This weekend we went to the State Fair with our friends. We went last year and had a great time, so we thought it would make for a fun night. We were wrong. It made for a Fan-freaking-tastic time! We looked at fun booths, walked on water in giant bubbles, won contests, tried fried scorpion, rode giant yellow slides, and ate horrible, terrible, Delicious food!

Brenden entered a pull-up contest, and won a sweet hat from the marines!

We opted for a cute family picture with the giant pumpkins. I wanted to take one home and carve a huge jack-o-lantern, but I couldn't think how to fit it in the car and still have room to drive home. So the pumpkins stayed.

Tiff and I were pro's. We walked all over that water, and slipped, fell, and rolled all over it too.

Hello Mr. Goat! Brenden and Tiff made a new friend.

Porter and Kit ate a fried scorpion. Porter ate the head and body and Kit ate the tail. Gross!!!!

Porter told us that he needed some ice cream to wash down the creepy-crawly, so we got the mega bowl!

What fair isn't complete without deep fried bacon stuffed Twinkies, deep fried snickers bars and deep fried pb&Js?!


This is a video of our amazing feat: walking on water.

St. George Spring Break

Just like the rest of the world, we haven't traveled in a year. We all have been going stir crazy and really wanted to get out for a quick get away over spring break. We thought about the beach, but opted for a destination we could drive too: St. George, Utah. Southern Utah is magical. There really is no other place on earth like it. The red rock desert mixed with exotic land formations and the occasional pop of green foliage make for a unique and exiting adventure.  We had never actually stayed in St. George. I did a bunch of research of where to stay, where to eat and what to do. I think it turned out really well if I do say so myself.  We stayed at the Las Palmas Resort in Condo 1801 . This resort and condo are awesome! The complex has lots of pools and hot tubs. Plus there are play grounds everywhere. We were on the bottom floor and our patio opened up right to playground. We would just open the door and let the girls go play while we enjoyed dinner and a glass of wine on the

Italian Babymoon 2016: Venice

Venice.  This was the final stop on the Italian Babymoon.  We flew in to Rome, and flew out of Venice.  I really liked the way we planned this.  We didn't have to circle back to Rome to catch a flight, which was awesome!  We decided to go to Venice because it is kind of one of those places you just have to see.  It was cool, but not my favorite part of Italy.  It feels completely different compared to the other areas we visited.  Also, everything is way more expensive.  So just be prepared to pay a lot more for the same stuff you had in Florence.  However, we did have a lovely time. Water taxi, canal boat, or walking over many little bridges is how you get around.  Porter and I road the water taxi around a bunch to see the sights.  It's a great way to get a lay of the land. There is one large canal the taxis go around called The Grand Canal, then countless little canals that the little boats go through.  It was crazy to think that people would walk out their front

Italian Babymoon 2016: Florence

You Guys!  It's been a hot minute hasn't it?   So life with a baby is crazy, which is normal I think.  I completely abandoned my blog.  And middle saga no less.  I still have 2 posts to go on the Babymoon.  Never mind that the baby bump in this first picture is now almost a toddler, but I digress.  I have so many more posts to share of our travels and life.  So let's get to it.   Florence was our 3rd stop in Italy.  I was so excited to see the sculptures, and eat the gelato.  However, when we got to our hotel room, I was in love.  Our bed was gorgeous, and the best thing was the fact that they had air conditioning!!!  I just wanted to lay in the nice cool bed and sleep.  The bump was looking quite on point, so I had to snap a picture of the bump and the room.  We stayed at Art Atelier .  When Porter was finally able to rouse me from my lovely nap we jumped up to head out the door.  However, Porter jumped a little too much and his phone went flying.
