Bryce Canyon

It has become tradition for the Hooglands to go to St George with the Tophams for Memorial Day. We decided to check out Bryce Canyon while we were there, that was our main event. We didn't have much time for anything else but relaxing, playing lots of games, and going to the outlet malls (which was fine with us). We also stopped at the Beaver, UT cheese factory and had the yummiest ice cream and some cheese curds for the ride home.

Bryce Canyon was amazing, apparently I have been there before with my grandparents, but I don't really remember it. My Grandpa Buck and Grandma Winnie loved this place and I could completely feel them there. It was exciting for me to be there.









The park is covered with Hoodoo's..here is the definition in case you wanted to know.



Where do you change your toddlers diaper in the middle of the wilderness? In the trunk of the car of course!


We also went to the neighborhood splash pad with the kids, but Maddy would not enter in the spraying water, but she loved playing with Lena and Shelby.

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
