On our way home from Vegas we stopped at Cove Fort and did a tour. During a free guided tour of Cove Fort, you can travel back to the days when travel was by horseback and covered wagon, and discover what sort of accommodations a traveler could have expected.
(the trees behind us are 152 years old)
A safe haven built in 1867, Cove Fort was constructed at the halfway point between Fillmore and Beaver, Utah. In the 1860s the 60-mile trip between these two towns required two days of travel. Cove Fort was the perfect place to stop for the night to find safety, shelter, fresh water, and plenty of feed for livestock.
Built primarily of volcanic rock and limestone from a nearby quarry, the perimeter walls of the fort are 100 feet square and 18 feet high. The fort's 12 rooms, 6 on the north side and 6 on the south, have been restored to reflect the 1867 to 1877 period, complete with authentic period furnishings and artifacts.
We decide to bring the kids to Las Vegas on New Year's Day and let them have fun before they would start school the following Monday. It was Aaron's first time on the road and he was doing just fine until the last hour when he got tired of his car seat. Unlike Andrew, I don't think Aaron loves to travel as much. Andrew as usual was doing so good. He loves traveling and he is used to it.
On the next day we took the kids to Adventure Dome in Circus Circus and bought them an all day passes. They had so much fun especially Andrew though he was disappointed that he could not ride in their big roller coaster yet.
At night we took Andrew to Tropicana Hotel since they have a NASCAR
Theme. He had a great time watching all the cars..
We welcome 2010 with some friends. We had a good time with all the fun stuff we did and all the yummy food had. Great way to welcome the new year!

Last Saturday we were feeding the missionaries @ lunchtime. We love having the missionaries at our house and the spirit they bring.
After eating lunch and since it was snowing that day, we played with the snow at our backyard.. Andrew had so much fun...
So does Aaron. It was the first time that he was out in the snow.

Last night was our ward Christmas Party. We had a great party and the kids were enjoying especially when Santa Claus came. Andrew got the opportunity to be one of Santa's helper. He was doing a great job!
The kids were singing christmas song while waiting for Santa Claus!
Here Comes Santa Claus!
Andrew was chosen to be one of his helpers...
Pictures With Santa.. When asked what he wants for Christmas..Andrew's answer was, " Mommy and Daddy and a Candy Cane"
Little boys are treasures
Who are worth their weight in gold
And charm everyone around them
From the time they're hours old.
They're Mommy's little darling,
They're a special pal to Dad,
And they bring the very happiest days
A family's ever had!
Yesterday we went to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden (where Ammon was born) to decorate the tree that they have set up for angel mommies. We're glad for the wonderful opportunity provided for us. Thanks Lisa (the nurse who made it possible)! We have met some of the angel mommies too. Russ and I made a special ornament for our little angel.
Ammon's ornament! We put the same one in our own Christmas tree..
