Utah, Kylie, Shooting, and Sking

I usually go to Utah for the week of Thanksgiving. This year I was not planning to go. I just finished the last of the 7 scrapbook albums for Kyile from birth to high school graduation. Yep, that was 7 years ago and it took 7 years to complete 7 books. Also I finished her Police graduation album. When Kylie mentioned she was having mouth surgery just before Thanksgiving and that I could come up then, well being "MOM", I felt I had to help her. So it worked out to take up her books. They were to costly to mail anyway and much much to valuable. Cory asked if he go go sking as his Christmas present and since Kevin was unable to go with Cory , Cory took a friend, Derek. So off we set for a Utah adventure. We were going to drive, but Kylie found super cheap tickets if we just drove to Vegas and left from there. We parked our car at Uncle Randy's house and he shuttled us to and from the airport. Plus, we got to visit with the Randy Irwin family which was fun. Randy cooks up a good dinner! At the airport, we went through the security check and Derek forgot he had a tiny "leatherman " knife in his backpack. After surrendering it and much laughing we were on our way. (Kylie says they usually give a very big fine for that, but we were lucky and the security girl was very nice)
Cory and his friend Derek : After Kylie's surgery on Friday, the boys went out bowling and Mom stayed home to take care of Kylie. But the next day, Kylie felt better and took us shooting up the canyon with her new gun. What a blast. Even though Kylie was not feeling good, she wanted the boys to have fun. Cory hasn't been there for a long time and she wanted him to enjoy himself.
Kylie shows the boys how to handle the gun. They were very nervous about it.

Mom, however, is the bomb at shooting! Kylie taught her well. She is now hooked! Infact, too hooked. She loves it!
Cory getting comfortable and figuing out his aim.
He's got it now......Ready, Aim, Blow him away!
Kylie and Aaron have at it with the target. Who is the better marksman???
Kylie got a bullseye!
And there goes Cory again.
Derek was a good shot too!
This is the target. Cory sent pictures to Kevin from his phone and they looked like a real person. They had Kevin thinking that Derek shot someone like Dick Chainy did. It was very funny!
On Monday the boys went sking up at Brighton and had a great time!
They were so excited to ski Utah

Then Kylie took us to the airport where she was on duty. As we were waiting for our flight, We got to see Kylie make a arrest and cuff the guy and take him off. Of course, that was a picture moment!
