Spring Break in Blanding

Lots and lots of four wheeling!!!
Thanks to Curtis and Kristin for letting us come and play for a little break. We needed to get out of town and play with some cousins!

 

Treasures!

Jessie stayed out of the water as long as she could handle it. She was so happy with some sand on her face and stick in hand to splash in the water.

Good times in the creek!

 

Helmet Heads!

The apples don't fall far from the tree!

Your FACE!!!

Tyler found a horny toad and the little ones liked seeing it. Corbin kept saying "spooky"!

And of course, we got to kiss on Baby Pearl! We were excited to meet our newest cousin!

In Tyler's spare time...

Katelyn, trying to open a locker at Jr High orientation!

Brigham's hair naturally did this cool staticky spin when he took his hoodie off

Holy SHOES! Time to put away the snow boots (11 pairs)  and get out the flip flops and cleats!

Two babies laying soaking up some sun!

After watching several episodes on "Man & Woman vs Wild" on Netflix I made the boys go outside. NO MORE TV! Then I found this little treat. They had decided to play "survivalists" outside and conjured up a campsite and were roasting some fish and chicken. Thank goodness they didn't go as far as starting an actual fire!

Let's freeze this moment in time!

There are six years between me and my youngest sister and I only really remember things about her when she was little. When I left for college she was 12 years old and I don't know anything about her teenage years. We have gotten to know each other better now that we are both married adults, but I always feel like there was a time lapse there for a  bit.

Katelyn and Jessica are 10 years apart. I have told Katelyn to remember these times with Jessie and treasure them. Life moves fast and Jessie will not remember this time when she adores Katelyn. I know Katelyn will miss a lot of Jessie's life and they will feel miles apart for awhile, but then they will get to know one another again when the get "all grown up".

Let's freeze this moment in time!

Happy Easters!

Decorating Easter Eggs!!










We went to two Egg Hunts Saturday morning and we saw the Easter Bunnny! Jessie was a little timid, but okay when Amy was holding her.






Christian and Amy won big prizes with the eggs they collected!

The Eastre Bunny visited us and answered all of Amy and Tyler's questions. He hid all of our eggs in the backyard and left some yummy things in our baskets.

Miss Lady with her phone and glasses crossing her legs!

After a wonderful Sabbath Easter Meeting  at church and beautiful choir numbers we headed home for some pictures.
Love this one of Christian's Chocolate Smile as he has Jess in a headlock!

We had lunch and another egg hunt up and Grammy and Papa D's. It was a beautiful Sabbath Easter day!

Happy Birthday to Jess!

This year we made JNB a Princess cake. She points out princesses now and was mesmerized by Katelyn's role and costume in The Little Mermaid.


We had a great lunch with the Denkers and she got some of her very own Legos (so her brothers will stop whining about her), a play tent, beautiful Easter dress, and a book. She loves to READ!!!

She had a great birthday!
