Race weekend and more fun!

We had a fast but fun weekend. Adam had a race (the video is in the previous post) on Friday night, then on Saturday we got to meet Chris, Marla, Kaden, Sarah and Kelvin at the zoo! It was great that everyone could come--I know we had a fun time. Then later Saturday afternoon we got to go to the church history museum and Temple Square and we had a great time there too.

Adam getting ready to race
The girls in their seats before they all filled up!



Ella was a HUGE help chasing Preston



He puts everything in his mouth. (I don't even want to know what that was)




Liv was just in her own little world and played and played and was fantastic!




Preston giving Ashton a "kiss". :) (He's actually trying to eat him hahahaha)





Then on to the zoo in the morning






Our nephew Kaden.....isn't he the world's cutest red head?!



There were dinosaurs there and this is what Livia thought of them.....







Ella being eaten by the dinosaur! AHH! (Note Liv's face in previous picture)







Livia and aunt Marla







Livia and aunt Sarah





Ashton, Aaron, and Kaden playing in the sand. Ashton thought it was the coolest thing ever to find "real" bones in the sand! WOW!




Aaron and Liv watching the tiger in the water. This was the kids favorite.





Chris and Marla got the kids tickets to the carousal and they had so much fun! (Ashton figured out how to climb the poll almost to the top. oops.)







Then temple square! (The sun was in their eyes)







The church history museum had a kids section and they could have stayed there all day.





Even twirling dress ups for the girls!





I love this picture. (And they didn't even have to look at the camera!)





Hello my beautiful children!


What a great trip! The kids are anxious to do it all over again. Next year guys....







































Adam's race!


Adam got to race this weekend and he did great! This was his best time and speed. (113 mph in 12.22 sec.) There were 70+ trucks in his class, and he made it to the third round. We had fun watching him!

Out with the old, in with the.....older

Well, Adam's motorcycle didn't last long! hahaha. We decided to get some enduros instead. So we found 3 and they are vintage! But fun! We took them out on the desert yesterday for their first ride (and my first ride!) and we all had a blast.

Adam on his "hog"!


Yep that's me....:) I still have to get the shifting thing down---and figure out how to turn without it tipping over (it was sandy though)
Ashton was having the time of his life!






Adam and Ashton





Livi holding on tight!



Ella's turn





Preston even sat on it and couldn't help smiling






I didn't get a pic of Aaron on the motorcycle---he wasn't on for very long- but he hung out with Preston!








And Liv with Preston (The stroller was the only shade!)






I couldn't resist a shadow pic. (If only Preston wasn't pulling my hair) oh well--still fun!




We really had a lot of fun yesterday---now we need to find heavier duty helmets for the kids--and find some more fun places to ride (preferably with less sand)---although that did make it nice and soft--perfect for our first rides!
