St. George Temple

My mom came to visit us when we first got here. Cory & Jeri were going to a wedding in Salt Lake so they dropped her off on the way & picked up a couple days later on their way home. We LOVED having her here & unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of her for proof....I wonder why??? ;) One of our little stops while she was here was the temple. Isn't it pretty?! My pictures obviously don't do it justice. You can see it in the distance when you first drive in & it's really cool to see at night.

The Little Mermaid

The first weekend we were here in St. George we were able to take the kids to go see The Little Mermaid. They have this really cool outdoor stage/amphitheater called Tuacahn. It's so pretty & the backdrop is red mountains. Many of you may know Maizi is pretty much obsessed with Ariel so she was in heaven. It was a really cool production with the water & everything. Maizi was singing along to every song & when they sang a couple that weren't from the movie she very loudly said "Hey, this isn't the way it goes!" :) It was a little warm on this night, but the kids had a really good time & we did too. After the show we got to meet the actors - we've seen "Ariel" around a couple other places & she's been so nice to let the kids just sit & talk with her...Soakai mostly just stares at her. :)

Sleepy Head

Poor guy! Triumph was giving Soakai a trim before we left & I guess it had just been too much for him to handle. He was literally asleep sitting in the chair getting his hair cut. Good thing he wasn't injured with his head falling all over. :) Funny kid!

She's FIVE....again!

We had another celebration for Maizi's birthday with all the Fig's. It was kind of like a going away since we left the next morning. :( Maizi, of course, loved the attention and all her cool gifts. She's still talking about her birthday parties.
