Utah Vacation part 3

The next day we went to the Dinosaur Museum. The McNinch's had been here before but it was fun to see how in to everything Jason, Dan and Kevin were... as well as the little ones.
Sofie and Orson checking out a fossil.



Orson was so funny he ran around everywhere, he was so excited to see so many dinosaur things.


McNinchs and Bridenstines in front of the Utah Raptor. Kevin took the picture of us.

Everyone doing their best dinosaur poses... Rarr




There was a really cool dino that the kids could play on. Sofie was scared of it but Orson loved it!




There was a place at the museum that you could play with sand and water and little toy dinosaurs. I didn't get any pictures because I was too busy talking to Kristen but Orson, Dan, Jason, Sofie, Jessica and Kevin all played for a while.

The next day Kristen and Sofie took us to the Gateway Mall. Sofie and Orson were so cute together whenever they were in their car seats they would hold hands and they shared a stroller for a while until they decided that picking on each other was more fun.


They had amazing tulips at the mall. Perfect for a little family picture



We drove to Thanksgiving Point after going to the Armenian Store and Jessica and Kevin picked us up to stay at their house. We ate at a BBQ restaurant and then went to their house to meet their ducks and watch a movie.

Utah Vacation

As a mother's day gift Dan and I went to Utah to visit Jason, Kristen and Sofie and Jessica and Kevin. We drove Jason and Danielle out to UT in their car so it worked out for everyone. The first night we stayed t Uncle Danny's hotel. Jason and Kristen came to meet up with us to go do something fun. We went to Gourmandise to eat some delicious pastries and bread in downtown SLC.

Dan and Jason. They were both told to smile and say "We have the hottest wives in the world" Don't they look so happy to have us? :)

One Year

I finally got around to updating my blog and what better way than to blog about my little boys first birthday...

Oh my goodness, I just went to add my pictures and I somehow deleted them off my camera! I'm seriously about to cry. I had the cake I made, the present opening... everything. Anyway, I guess the only pictures I can put up are his 1 year pictures.

For his birthday we went to get pictures taken and then he played in the Dino-land of the mall until he was tired and then we went to Grandma Bridenstine's to make and eat cake. Very simple but fun and I think Orson had a good day.

At one year Orson is walking; signing "please", "milk" which he uses for all food, and "more"; he eats all kinds of food; waves hi and bye and tries to say both; points to his nose, ears, eyes and mouth. Orson has almost 5 teeth and is 20 pounds. There are more mile stones that he does but I can't think of more because I'm still upset about losing my pictures.

The Golden Birthday

My niece Tristan turned 15 on April 15th. I can still remember her coming home from the hospital in the little town of Livingston MT. She was so small and from then on we had a special bond. I can't believe she 15 already. She's grown into a very intelligent and beautiful young woman. I'm very proud of her!

Denein did a surprise party for her golden birthday. There was great food, treats and best of all if your a member of the Bloxham family... karaoke. It was so fun to be there and sing with my family.

Waiting for Tristan to arrive.

Denein and John were going to "take her out to dinner" with the family and they had to "pick Jeran up" at the place we had the surprise party. She didn't know what hit her :)



For some reason this picture won't turn. Oh well, this is my little brother Hethe singing Mr. Roboto. He's amazing. I have it on video but it's too long to put on here.

Me singing. I sang Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional and I sang Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow with my brother Jeran.


It was a really great weekend and a good party. Happy Birthday Tristan. (Even though it was like a month and a half ago)
