July 12-15
We drove to Cedar City to visit Scott, Becky, and Kennidee. We saw a few plays at the Shakespeare Festival, Fiddler on the Roof, and Othello. Both were fantastic. We then killed our time shotgun shooting, and playing video games (crash and burn has become our favorite). Kyler LOVED chasing Trixie (the dog) and Matter (the kitty), he had lots of scratch markes to prove it. Pictures
Kyler also got to meet his Great-great Grandma Brooks for the first time. 
July 15-22
Then we attemped the long drive to Phoenix. We were almost to Vegas when Kyler had a melt down, so we decided to pull off the free way, find a gas station and let him get out of the car for a while. Well, we pulled off the freeway and immediatly knew we were in the wrong part of town, I was totally freaked out. We finally found a gas station and when Brian got out to fill the car I immediatly locked the doors. There was NO Way we were going to hang out here for a while. I started getting cranky, mean while Kylers still screaming, we try and rearrange things in the car so I can sit in the back and feed Kyler and try and keep him company. By this time the car is 100+ degrees and by the time we get moving I'm thinking to myself, we're never doing this again! Suddenly Brian is stopping the car and I snap "Why are we stopping!" And he says "We are at the Las Vegas Library" Hallelujah angels start singing in the back ground and a smile breaks across my face. Thanks Mom smith for teaching us that the Library is always a safe haven from any storm. We enjoyed an hour of toys and airconditioning, then moved on to Phoenix whithout a hitch. We stayed with Nathen and Beth, and their boys Kaleb and Jonah. Kyler was in cousin heaven, he followed the boys around, and Jonah would even get down and crawl with him, before we knew it Kyler was crawing at top speeds. They enjoyed building train tracks and going up and down the stairs. We all had fun going to the pool and enjoying the awesome splash parks they have there.

We drove to Yuma AZ, to visit Brians best friend Andy and his wife Jenny and their two boys, Ammon and Peter. Andy is in the Border Patrol so they get to live in beautiful Yuma were it was 115 degrees!!! I don't know how they do it, we, of course, went to another splash park

could the little guy be any cuter??? next time we will do this in hawaii!
Dude! You stopped on "D" Street in Vegas! Did you get attacked by squigee men? They're ruthless. They need to post a sign at that exit..."Not a good rest stop!" That's a really bad area.
You guys do lots of fun stuff. We're hanging out with you next time we hit it up in Utah.
You've certainly had a busy summer. Kyler is so cute. I love lots of pictures!
Looks like you guys had SO much fun! What a great trip!!! (Thanks for making us part of it - we loved seeing you!)
Wow. Sounds like you guys had a good time! I can't believe how big Kyler is getting. He is such a cutie! How did you get him to keep his sunglasses on? We want to play soon!
