Memorial Day Weekend

• 
  Tyler got Friday off for Memorial weekend so he went fishing with my Dad and Uncle Ryan.  He caught 3 Brown Trout.  Doesn't he look like a proud fisherman.  I love his smile in this picture.

Saturday was rainy and nasty almost all day.  What better to do in the rain than go to Lava and sit in the Hot Springs!  Talon eventually had fun in the water.

Experimenting with our new camera.  

It looks like Tyler is trying to drowned me then decided not to.

 

Tyler and Talon.  Doesn't Talon look like he is having so much fun.  Ha, it took awhile for him to figure out what was going on.

 On Monday we went to the City of Rocks!! Grandma and Grandpa Poole came and played with Talon so got some real climbing in.

Talon enjoying the fire in his new camp chair. He likes to try and blow the fire out, he will babble something, point and blow.  

 Talon climbing his first rock, he did great! Sorry the video is sideways, Tyler thinks he's taking a picture.

Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas for a week for Tyler's work.  .  I was really scared I wouldn't survive but I did and I even had fun.We left saturday got to vegas Sunday night.  While Tyler weas in his class all day I would wonder around in the morning til it was naptime, meet him for lunch than hang out in the hotel til he was done. First we stopped in SLC to go visit Tyler and Talia and go on a bike ride with my brother on the trails around his house.  They were really nice and fun!

A stop on the long drive to Vegas.  I love this picture of Talon and Tyler.  He loves his daddy.

Monday night a day in Las Vegas was enough and we had to get out so we went up and visited Tyler's great Aunt and Uncle who live right next to the temple.  It was so fun to talk with them, they are wonderful people and Talon had a lot of fun playing with her decorative balls.

Another fun picture of father and son.

Tuesday night we went to the Hoover Dam and the new bridge.

The new Bridge.  

A cool panoramic shot of what it looks like now.

Clean Las Vegas entertainment, the Volcano.

Hanging out.

The Gardens at the Bellagio, so pretty and fun.

 Fountain at the Bellagio, Tyler and I watched these after we went and saw Phantom of the Opera!!

Tyler had a friend down in Vegas who watched Talon for us so we could go on a date.  The play was AMAZING!! It was amazing all the things they could do to the stage.

 Eating McDonald fries at 11 p.m.  

 RED ROCKS!! Tyler got done with his class Wednesday so Thursday we went to Red Rocks and spent a couple days climbing.  This climb kicked our trash, well, my trash.  

 Talon hanging out, trying not to get sunburned.

 Talon has an obsession with phones now.  I love this picture because he looks crazy. 

 On our way home we stopped and stayed with my grandparents in St. George.  This is Tyler trying out our new camera in the pool.

 The St. George Temple.

 Back at Tyler and Talia's watching all the ducks. My parents were there so the boys went on another bike ride and then we had a BBQ after.  

So our trip was fun filled week.

Mount Donaldson

 Last weekend Talon stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Poole while we went and climbed a mountain.  Our goal was Mount Church and Donaldson.  We only climbed Donaldson because the snow was getting too soft which made me really really sad, I really wanted to bag 2 peaks in a day.  But it was soo Fun the weather was amazing, and it was the first time I got to use my Axe and Crampons.  Joe Crane came with us,  Tyler's climbing buddy from college.

 This kind of shows how steep it was, which was when of the less steeper parts.

 Sliding down the mountain!  So much fun!

Tyler and I are making a goal to climb all 9 of the tallest mountains in Idaho by the end of the year.  I have only climbed 2 so far, Tyler has climbed 5.

Play Time With Talon

 Here are some pictures of what Talon has been up to lately.

 Lots and lots of playing at the park that is a block away from our house.

He loves going down the slides and trying to climb them.

 He also loves playing in the ducks water, I have to change his clothes atleast twice a day.

 Take that back, he loves playing in any water he can find, and he is always holding something, a pencil, a fork, a ball, or whatever he can find.

Moab

Our camera broke so these are the only pictures we have for Moab this year. At least they were the best ones of the best looking little boy. Besides getting bit by red ants 10 minutes after we got to our campsite he did awesome and loved playing in the red sand, and the creek. Uncle Jake came with us so we were able to switch off babysitters while the other 2 biked, worked out great!

Talon waking up from a long night sleep, short for me because he kept wiggling. We have decided to upgrade to a bigger tent.
