Update--with lots of pics!!!

No, we have not fallen off the edge of the Earth, we have just been out of commission with some computer viruses!! Should be better now, or so we hope!

We spent last week at Nicc's brother's in Salt Lake, hoping to enjoy at least some green grass, flowers, and warmer weather (not hot, just something warmer). However, I think the snow and dreary weather followed us down there!
Nicc spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday living every BYU fan's biggest dream (he still is a WYO boy though) in the football program, with coaches and all in Provo! He enjoyed it! We met him in Salt Lake Saturday and spent the next week with family, relaxing and just doing some fun things!

Sunday we hung around the house and Nicc made patacones (fried plantain)! A treat we all love but rarely have. Looked like all of the other kids love them too!

Monday we took the little kids swimming, Davin, his new cousin Breanna, and Zach (lucky boy got out of school early even to come with us)! Davin loves the water! He had zero fear which caused a little fear for us! When we got back to SV he asked to go swimming as we passed the outdoor pool still full of snow and asked when we can go. I had no answer for him. Monday night we went to CHUCK E. CHEESE'S! Davin saw a commercial on TV months ago and has been asking to go play games and ride the car since then. This was probably our biggest motivator for going to Salt Lake. Chuck E. Cheese's is about as big as Disneyland to a two year old! He loved every minute of it! Nicc and I had a pretty good time as well getting to do a few games!

Finally, the REAL, Chuck E. Cheese!Davin loved this game. The point was to catch the "popcorn" in the bucket!

Tuesday we took the TRAX downtown to temple square! We told Davin we were riding a train like Thomas and he thought we were actually going to ride Thomas so when the train showed up and was white he was a little concerned because "Thomas is blue!" Nicc saved the day and told him that Thomas is in the back of the train so we just couldn't see him! We had a good time walking around temple square. Davin loved the large statue of the Savior in the visitors center and some of the scripture stories that were told in the visitor's center. We also saw a video about Joseph Smith and were shocked to see the part where Nicc's great(how many ?)-grandfather was included in the story! It started to rain and drizzle so we headed home with a very tired little guy!


Wednesday we again took the TRAX downtown, Davin was loving the train by now! We went to the Discovery Gateway, an interactive children's museum! It was awesome!! There was so much to see and do. Davin loved it, was a little overwhelmed at first because there were lots of school kids there but once he got things figured out he just dove in! Nicc even had a good time playing with the blocks as well--he even waited in line!



Thursday we just took it easy and hung around the house, letting Davin play with his cousins. Davin and Breanna decided they would feed the guinea pigs. Their idea of doing this was to take the cage apart and lots of the wood chips out. We still aren't sure what exactly they were feeding them because the food was nowhere to be found! Thursday night Todd, Kim, Nicc and I enjoyed a very fancy dinner downtown at Market Street Grill! It was kind of a fun experience, one we normally wouldn't have taken. We are definitely Wyoming folk and kind of stand out in such a formal restaurant! Most evening this week we enjoyed some time on the Wii! We had a lot of fun with couples tennis and I thoroughly enjoyed beating the boys in bowling three games in a row. They must have been intimidated because they stayed up until 2 perfecting their games!

Davin and Zach playing Wii! Davin really was getting good at seeing the ball and making the connection!

Friday we took our time getting up and Davin played with the Pollock kids for a few minutes as they stopped on their way to California! Then we headed home--stopped in Park City to find some good deals first! We came home to a little more snow. We are glad to be home but sure had a great time!
