FALL brings HIKING and SCHOOL

Hiking in Zion National Park

With Some of Our Favorite Friends

 It wore McKay right out. :)

 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Carson - Preschool

Haley - Kindergarten

From Sun to Snow

Obviously our kids were excited to see the snow this last trip up north to Salt Lake.

We went to the aquarium and had a blast. Carson loved the sharks and Haley loved the pretty fish. :)

 We always love spending time with Grandpa and Grandma. We had a great trip!

We love Spring! It means VISITORS! Yay!

Uncle Jordan and our beautiful Aunt Alyssa came to visit. 

And we just LOVE them and their doggy too!

 Hiking at Red Cliffs, which is an awesome hike involving water, playing in a waterfall, and lots of gorgeous red rock.

 My friend Jessica and I played switch-a-roo and we went to their house in Las Vegas to play with them during our Spring Break; then they came to play with us during their Spring Break the next week. What a blast!! We are so happy we have such good friends and they are still close enough to play lots with.

 We had a great Easter holiday with friends that included an Easter Egg Hunt, reading the story of Christ's death and resurrection, and making donut "tombs" to roll away the "stone" and show the tomb is empty. It was so fun!

Jace and his kids came to visit this weekend and we had a ball with them. We went to Pine Valley and did some hiking and roasted mallows and dinner. We blew bubbles and gathered "treasures" from nature that we later used to make our "self portraits" on paper plates. It was so fun!

 Even McKay got in on the action of discovering nature treasures.

 Crazy Carson and Kisen had a blast together. They also LOVED the smores... as you can see!

Our Recent Odds and Ends (Pun Intended) :)

 McKay has his Daddy's cute bum (oh, yes I did!)...

...And his Mommy's cute ears. What a gorgeous combination! :) 

 It all adds up to make one darling little man. Here he is in his winter hat that Aunt Tif made him.

 Hiking in the red rocks. We absolutely love living here in St. George.

 Geocaching with friends. We love searching for treasures and sharing lots of laughs.

Our latest venture to Vegas. The kids loved Freemont Street. Vegas is one wild place...

...And we love it!!

Playing with Carson's tool set...everyone had to get in on the action, including poor McKay. These kids are such a hoot! They keep us laughing and on our toes for sure.
