Spring Break

Over spring break this year we ventured down to St. George with Ted's sister Colette and her family. We had so much fun down there that is was hard to come back. We stayed in the same hotel and our rooms were right across the hall from each other and that made it really fun for the kids.
While we were there, Colette was kind enough to watch the kids while Ted and I went to the St. George temple to do a session. I am so thankful that we were able to go and spend some time together. The temple is so beautiful inside and I just love all the attention to detail throughout that temple. It is pretty amazing to see what the pioneers were capable of doing.

Since Morgan would go to bed a lot earlier than the kids,
Ted made a bed for the kids in the tub so that they could
watch a movie. They thought they were hot stuff!!

We went on a hike to Snow Canyon and our kids were such
troopers. They hiked the whole way!!!

Cooper and Kendall in a little cave by the cliff.
(This is their little house!!!)

The hike sure tuckered Morgan out!!

The kids cooling off in the shade!!

The whole clan eating lunch at the top.

Ted and Kendall in the pool.

Cooper having the time of his life.

Brody, Brecken and Ted making a 3 person tower.

Right before we were about to leave St. George,
Morgan fell asleep in my arms sitting up. She
was so worn out from all the fun that her eyes
wouldn't stay open any longer.

The Easter Festivities

Now that out kids are getting older, the holidays are getting a little more fun because they understand what is going on and they can hardly contain their excitement. Cooper and Kendall had such a fun time decorating the eggs that after we were done, they were still hanging out at the table.
I just love this picture. It is so stinkin' cute!!!

Having some Easter Egg fun!!

The kids on Easter morning.

Morgan on her first Easter. She just wanted
to chew on anything and everything.

The weather on the big day was less than desirable.

We went to Barnes Park for their annual Easter Egg
Hunt and it was freezing!! It was so cold that Kendall
would not pick up any candy.

A picture of the mass chaos. The hunt was over
in less than 2 minutes. Insane!!!!

Morgan happy to be outside. It's her favorite place
to be!!
