Fun Filled Saturday

Well last Saturday we were busy, Trent helped dad do his slues box for gold and found a little tiny nugget. Then we went to the Simplot party where Trent, Amy, and Me won Bingo. Poor dad didn't win once, Amy and me won twice. This is Chad having fun on the toys.

Then after the simplot party we went to Trent's parents neighborhood picnic, and they had the fire truck there. Chad loved it. Here he's giving the fireman 5, which was also the number of the firetruck. =)
Wore the oxygen tank only after Daddy did.
Brian Loved it too as you can see.
Yup, I just think he loves driving anything especially a "Big Truck".

Olympics At Our House

Well looks like this is the only video left of Chad's Olympic excitement. We did have others where Chad was yelling "GO USA GO!" over and over again, this is the one he realized we were recording and didn't want to say much...lol..oh well I guess the love of my life erased those for something more irresistible. =)

Family Walks

Well I really need to get updated. We go on family walks every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The kids love it of course, and it's good for us too.
This time Chad brought his bike and rode the whole way. I thought he would definitely want to be held and not walk or ride anymore. He surprised me.

Park City UT Vacation

Grandma and Grandpa Murray had their time share in Park City, UT this past week and invited us to come last weekend. We were there from Thursday- Saturday. They were excited to take their grand kids out for a good time. Thursday we went shopping at the outlet mall, and then went to the condo. Friday we hit the slopes and went down the alpine slide and the roller coaster. Grandpa bought us passes to go on each twice. "Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!" We had a lot of fun. Chad loved swimming, and riding the spider man tricycle at the condo. Here are some pictures of the coaster.

Chad wanted to ride with Grandpa every time.

Chad loves watching tractors working.

The coaster goes almost all the way up the mountain and winds back down the mountain.

I finally talked Chad into going up with me. Marlene followed us down the hill. She always enjoys going down the hill as fast as she can.

Just look at my beautiful wife's smile

No Fear!

Chad loves the coaster and laughs the whole way down. He always tells me to go faster even though we are going as fast as we can. He had already been down once and he wanted to go again so we got him another rider pass. This video pans up the hill and down to get a perspective of how far you go up. Marlene is behind us.

Brian's New Friend

Brian was very popular with the staff at the coaster. Here is a picture of how cool Brian played it.
Here is one of his new friends.

Hazardous to my health!!!

After we went down the coaster we decided to go to the alpine slide. I thought I would start off showing my battle wounds and giving a little background. Marlene and I have always been competitive with each other whether it be playing sports such as ping pong, or racing. Now neither of us like to lose which usually results in one of us getting injured in one way or another. Well this time I lost. Yes, you read it, I Trent lost the race, and decided to do so in a not so graceful and recommended manner by leaving some of my flesh on the track. I was behind Marlene and had decided not to break where I usually do so and went airborne on a little drop off and ended up fighting to just stay on the slide as opposed to eating dirt, rocks, and shrubbs that just did not look appetising at the time. What was funny was when I was crashing I looked at Marlene and saw the terror in her eyes. Yes it was a comforting feeling because I knew then she loved me and was concerned for my health. She had stopped to see if I was OK, and I had jumped back on my sled and quickly said I was OK. The next thing I knew she had her game face on again and we continued to race down the rest of the hill. All I could think of after that was she may not have been concerned so much about me, but herself, and what she would do if I died and she had to take care of the kids by herself. I really need to just realize competing with my wife is hazardous to my health and just surrender to her.

Here is a good picture of the bottom 1/3 of the slide.
Chad loved to ride the sled even when we were not on the slide.

No, this is not Marlene's game face. It is more a pre-mature celebration of her victory. She knew what was going to happen. Just look at her.
Chad liked to ride with grandpa more than anyone else.
