VEGAS, BABY
For Isaac and I's 7 year anniversary we drove to Las Vegas over Memorial Day, sans children. We left on Saturday morning and came back on Tuesday. We has so much fun looking at all the beautiful buildings and window shopping, (No, we did not gamble). Of course we enjoyed the fine dining there as well. By days end while most were just heading out to party we were headed in out of exhaustion. We stayed at the Excalibur, a family place until about 5 pm when the dancing girls came out, but it was a nice place. It was so nice to be together and have some much needed couple time. We hope to go back again someday, but will not be bringing out children anytime!
Family Reunion
In June the Stice family all gathered together for a couple days of fun and relaxation. We went up to Snowbird Ski resort and rode the tram up to the mountain top (only getting slightly sick on the way up and back. We also rode down the Alpine slide.
We also enjoyed a nice family BBQ at the Park. All us sisters and mom went out to lunch and ventured to the local craft fair. Then enjoyed an afternoon at Seven Peaks water park. The twins didn't care for the water much and preferred to stay in the pack in play where is was warm and dry. Eli on the other hand enjoyed the water very much. he even went on some of the kiddie sized slides. After that we Karaoked the night away at Nicks house and devouring lots of Papa Johns pizza.
On Saturday the boys took their outing to mini golf and arcades at Trafalga. While the girls and kiddos searched for buried treasure at Grandmas house. It was fun to watch the kids go to each destination and see their excitement grow as they got closer. Aunt Anna made a beautiful map for them to follow. When they found "X" they enjoyed to spoils of the treasure of candy, stickers and little toys. That evening the adults decided to go up to Sundance and enjoy adult conversation and a highly priced meal. It was fun to get to talk to my brothers and their wives without the interruption of the kids.
Overall I had an amazing time with my family and enjoyed seeing all my nephews and nieces playing together. I know that Eli, Oliver and Emerson enjoyed all the playing that happened and were totally worn out by weeks end. I look forward to doing this again!

Be Loyal to The Royal Within:Girls Camp 2009
I was called as the girls camp director for our ward girls camp this year. I had so much fun working with the YCLS and the other Young Women Leaders to prepare. I have always loved camp so this is a dream calling for me. It was a lot of work but well worth the effort and seeing how much fun the young women had.
The Wonderful Leaders decided that the YCLs and I needed an upgrade in our underwear department so they assisted up by buying the largest underwear they could find identifying it and flying it from the flag pole. Isaac was so psyched!

$2 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point
In August Thanksgiving Point offered admission into any of their attraction for $2. I thought what a GREAT deal so my sister-in-law Jaehyun and I took all our kids to Farmland. (Of course I forgot this is Utah and everyone looks for good deals so it was WAY packed). The kids enjoyed seeing all the animals and we went on a wagon ride. When we finished we decided that we would never do that again without at least 2-3 more adults with us. We both needed a nap, but it was a lot of fun still.
Jenna was such a trooper! And Eli loved the scarecrow.

Visiting with old Friends
Jon and Sunny and their 2 adorable daughters met us at One Man Band for lunch. It was nice to reunite with them and enjoy some yummy food. I think we have a match made in Heaven with their youngest and Emerson!
Tired mommies!
Take the Key and lock them up!
