The Valley of Fire

Last weekend my parents came out to visit- so we decided to finally take a trip out to the Valley of Fire State Park. What a blast! It was SO BEAUTIFUL!! And the weather was just perfect- it actually rained down here- so it was cooler. My kids loved the fact that they could climb and jump as much as they wanted. It was like one big amusement park for them. I love this picture of Ty- he is growing up. He's a handsome little devil, too.
Sorry about the view of Karson's bum... but it's so not like him to be this daring. I learned a lot about Karson on this trip.







This little runt (of course) had absolutely no fear whatsoever. She's running down sides of ridges with all of us trying to catch up to her... she's jumping off of every rock she could... there were even a few times that she almost went off a few cliffs. But that's our Mary!

What a spaz, huh? It was actually really pretty right here- there was a little pond of water down there where he would've fell in.
Pay no attention to the rather huge woman up there yelling at her husband for taking that picture...
This was the only way to keep Mary out of trouble... but of course it was short-lived! We had a really great time, though! Thanks mom and dad for coming with us (and helping our kids not to die)!

Julie,
You don't know me but Wendy gave me you name and blog address. Ihope you don't mind.I was telling her we have a little girl with turner syndrome too. Kenadie is 10 months old now. I have never met anyone that has turner syndrome. I have many questions about things that the doctors can't answer. Like Wendy told me your daughter might not feel pain. We think Kenadie can't feel pain on the top of her feet. If you are interested I would love to hear back from you. My e-mail address is jodles10@yahoo.com our blog is marcosandjody.blogspot.com
Thank you Jody

You have such a cute little family! You're having another girl, right? When are you due?

Julz said...

Yep- we're having another girl! We are due on July 24th- Pioneer Day! Not that it's really Pioneer Day out here- but I would still love to have her that day!

This would have been amazing to see! I love the pictures of all the kids climbing. I expecially loved seeing your mom's pictures the other day cause she had some of you with your little baby belly!!!

Julie~ Congrats on your husband's new career change. I'm not good with change either, but things always seem to work out for the better.

Would you mind sending me your email address so I can add you to our blog, since we just made it private? You can email me at wishinuponastar13@yahoo.com. Thanks! ~Kellie~

Justen said...

Oh man that looks like a good time. I love the picture of all the kids chilling in the holes in the rocks. I want to go somewhere where I can jump all I want. Guess I'll have to come visit!

Valley of Fire looks awesome. The kids looked like they were having fun climbing and jumping. That Mary is a wild one, so cute. We have never been out there but after seeing your pix we might have to make a trip out~before it gets too hot.
