Choo-choo

 Jason was snowboarding in Utah (again) this past weekend and I knew I needed to plan some fun outings for the kids so that we didn't drive each other crazy.  Friday Jayden had a birthday party, so I took Maddox and Kylie to Marley Farms for their V-day event.  I purposely didn't bring my camera because I feel like so many times I miss out on the "moment" because I am spending more time behind the camera than I am actually enjoying the event.  Of course I ended up regretting not bringing it because we had so much fun and I wish I had the pictures to remember it by (not to mention that the zonkey, camel, kangaroos and the genetically mutated giant cow and pig were definately picture worthy). The next day Kylie went to the movies with her friends so I took the boys to the AZ Railway Museum and it was the perfect fit.  We spent all morning exploring every nook and cranny of all these old trains, it was every little boys dream and this time I have more than enough pictures to remember it by!  I really enjoyed spending some one on one (plus Maddox) time with the kids.

I love the "watch your step" picture! So cute! I think the younger sisters in the Jolley clan should save some bucks and hire you as their photographer...you're amazing!

You're so great to plan so many fun outings. You really packed a lot into your weekend with everything else you had going on too. I hope you got a good nap in after I talked to you on the phone:) You are such a great photographer. You got some really cool shots that I wouldn't have even given a second thought to taking. You've got it in your blood. You can tell Jayden and Maddox were in little boy heaven with all the trains. It looks like a really cool place.

That place looks awesome! Elijah would go nuts for being able to explore a bunch of trains. I'm going to have to get us there pronto! Thanks for the idea!
