Why do they call it the Emerald Isle?

Satan George

I've tried to teach Zoey that it's "St. George" but she hasn't quite got it down.
We packed the car and had a road trip. We have to be creative since we chose the Tahoe without a DVD player so we would be forced to stimulate their "minds" (was that really a good decision?). They had fun in the car and Zoey took very good care of Chubs.

Zane and Zoey's cousin, Ivey, lives in St. George and she came over for swimming Friday afternoon while her mom got her hair done. We are on our way to swim in this picture, if you begin to wonder why all of these pictures are of us swimming that's simply because that's all we did, well ok only about 4 hours/day. We played water horse, sea horse, motor boat, sharks and minnows, tag, and Marco Polo in the pool. The kids practiced their strokes and they are doing very well, I think Zane can finally save himself if he's not too panicked.

Zoey, Ivey, Zane and Chubs (his first time ever swimming).

Hey, look who we ran into, THE CARTERS! We forgot that they have a condo a few doors down from us. It was so much fun to see them, we swam together and the kids played. We had date night at Ruby River with Paul and Shauna, and Chuck and Sherese - thanks guys, it was fun to hang out in St. George.

Shauna and Chandler playing in the pool. Shauna was looking very svelt in her swimming suit.

Ivey, Zoey, Zane, Chubs on Sunday after Sherese's delicous ham dinner. We had a great time, it's fun to be together as a family and look forward to the next time.

In the summer it might as well be Satan George what with it being as hot as hell and all.

It must be nice to be somewhere warm enough to swim! I have spring fever so bad-enough of the snow already!

I love the seperation of Zane and Zoey in the car. I can never figure out the best configuration for my kids on long road trips. It's more what would be best for ME and my ears... It's hard when they can still reach each other no matter what the seating arrangement is.

Ok so I wasn't done! Love Zoey's dress, it's awesome you met Carter's there, your kids look like they're having so much fun and how did you survive 4 hours of swimming a day. What good parents you both are. Did Lance figure out a way to have his laptop in the pool? Ha!

Looks like fun! I'm sure the swimming wore them out!

Ok, so I look svelt? in my swimsuit. I am soooo stupid but I don't know what that means, sure hope it is a compliment!

Shauna - of course svelte (turns out I misspelled it) is a compliment. It actuall means thin. These are synonyms taken from a thesaurs: graceful, lean, lissome, lithe, slender, slinky, smooth, sylphlike, willowy. How's that?

I was hoping to see Lance in the pool. I thought it was cute how Zane loved his alone time with his moom swimming. I am getting anxious to get out the summer clothes. Loved to see the sun dress and shorts.

i agree w/c jane--Satan George is fabulously appropriate for that place--it's just one step up from lake powell! ok maybe a few more steps up b/c it has movie theaters, restaurants, malls, buildings w/air conditioning....ok nevermind they aren't alike at all.

heather good question about the laptop! haha probably lance was not even in the pool area for fear of damaging his precious baby!

Ok...so I was blog stalking you. :-) I am a friend of Shannon & V-ness. Sherese & Chuck were our cute neighbors in Logan. Lost touch the last few years. Love Sherese...such a cute gal!
Do they have a blog? Such a small world that they are related to you. Crazy...
