First off...Let me start off by apologizing. I meant to have our Family Pictures by the end of our Vacation. But I kai-boshed that idea. On July 21st, I contracted Bell's Palsy. Half of my face was paralyzed - and while since then, I have regained MOST of the function and control of my facial muscles, I did NOT have control of them while we were in Utah. So we DID NOT take formal family pictures.
SORRY!
Blame my vanity.
However...we did take a lot of different shots of the boys - while they were playing and enjoying other outdoor activities!!
This is at Stann's Great-Aunt's home in Utah. :)
Boys will be boys....

The boys...behind the fence at the Bountiful Utah Temple grounds.
At the ranch....enjoying some of the amenities....Like...TRACTORS....
Joshua...trying to get the horsies to "come" to him....Matty...just bein' cute.
Matt found a tractor at the World-Famous Idaho Potato Museum....
Josh found a plow....he tried to move it...but...it didn't work. (Thank heaven!)
Pictures of an old-time 'caboose'....Daddy with his boys. :)
I think I might want one of these as a play structure...(ha, ha)
Joshy. Part-monkey....I'm sure of it!
The beautiful Salt Lake LDS Temple.
The angel Moroni, atop the Salt Lake City Temple.
We visited Temple Square and the Visitors Center....
The Fountain at Temple Square...the boys LOVED this...I had to do some fast talking to keep them from jumping in....it was really hot though! I can't blame 'em for trying!!!
In the North Visitors Center.....
There is a statue called "The Christus".
It is one of my favorites. To see the Savior - with His arms stretched out wide...the prints of the nails in his hands and feet....while looking at all the stars and worlds in the heavens....
It humbles me.
We also toured the LDS Conference Center.
This is the water feature atop the Conference Center....there is 4 1/2 acres of land atop the conference center - in the Parking area!! (WOW!) But we were only impressed with the water features....
;)
This is at the Hogle Zoo.
Matt's starting to like Elephants like his Mama. ;)
We had a blast...family pictures will come sooner or later...whenever I regain full functionality of my face that is....But I thought you might want to see how big they are getting!!!
We go on our next vacation next week to the Coast.
We'll post more pics of these cutie pies then!!
