St George Trip

 St George Trip

Tuesday - Thursday

May 7th-9th, 2013

 

 

We have been anxiously awaiting this trip for what seems like a very long time. Our court date was initially set to happen March 26th, but since we were not married for a year yet it had to be pushed back...all the way to may! We Headed to St George Tuesday and enjoyed a yummy dinner and fun evening with our good friends. We got to stay with our friends this time, which was a lot of fun!!

 

Wednesday

 

 Wednesday was the day we were waiting for, our court date to have Ian adopt Brody!! We were a little nervous since we didn't quiet know what to expect, but mostly excited. Brody's biological father was served the adoption papers personally and never responded, so we knew the odds were definitely in our favor. Adoptions are done privately so our family, lawyer and his Secretary were the only people in the room. The judge asked Ian some questions and then asked if I agreed. He said we look like a very happy family and that it seemed like a great thing, and Brody was legally made a Harvey :) A very happy moment for our little family! Brody has always been a part of our family, and he has always known himself as a Harvey, but it feels great to make it official. No more different last names at doctors appointments or explaining to people why on official documents or church record he has a different name then the rest of us. It just feels great to move forward with our lives as our little family, the Harvey's :)

 

 

First official picture of my two Harvey boys, Father and son!

 



 

We celebrated with a yummy Breakfast at Denny's.

 Brody seeing how much pancake he can shove into his mouth!

 

Kinsley happy to be getting her diaper changed haha.

 

We always love going to the splash pad while we are in St George. It had been warm enough to go swimming up until the time we got there. So instead of swimming we hit up the splash pad for the kids. It was soo nice being able to lay Kinsley in the grass, something I miss very much since we have moved to Prescott. She loved it.

 

Kinsley's first experience having some fun in water (other then baths of course)!

 

Not quiet sure if she knew what to think...

 

But ended up giving a nice smile for the camera :)

 

Loved getting to see this little cutie!! This is the little girl I swear Brody has a crush on haha.

 

We never really had a chance to do girls nights while we lived in St George, so this is one of the best parts of visiting, we always make time for girls night out!! Sometimes a girl just needs some time with her friends, and we of course had a blast! I haven't laughed that much and that hard in a long time. Love these girls!! We enjoyed a yummy Mexican dinner and some frozen yogurt afterwards. I think girls night out just might have to become a St George tradition :)

 

 

 

Thursday

 

We tried making it home in time for Ian to do tutoring after school, but we just didn't get out of town in time so on the way home we stopped and walked across the bridge at Hoover Dam. We wanted to look at the Dam itself but you had to pay, so we just drove across it. I didn't realize how popular that place is, there were tons of people there!

 

Such a beautiful bridge.

 

 

Cant wait for our next trip back to St George :)
