Hansel and Gretel

Saturday evening my mom got all the girls tickets to go to the ballet Hansel and Gretel. It was a really cute play and a fun evening out!

Ellie and Adrie were dancing in the isle during the whole play. It was cute!

St. George

We went to St. George for the holiday weekend. It was our first trip out of town with all the kids since the boys were born! The weather was so nice and warm. I'm ready for Spring to come. We had a fun time getting out of town for a few days. Chris and Rick golfed at Coral Canyon, the girls did a little shopping and we went to the pool swimming a couple of times! Our kids weren't very happy most of the time. None of them slept good at night, Ava and Griffin had runny noses and coughs and Ava screamed half the way home in the car. Traveling with all the little ones is quite a challenge!

Crew just hanging out being happy outside!

Eating lunch at Tom's Deli

This is how Griffin was most of the trip--crying!

Ellie and Andrew

Shaley and Ava

Andrew and Mazie with their "fancy" cups. The kids love the old glass funny cups at the condo and call them the fancy cups!

Rice Cereal Disaster

I attempted to feed the boys rice cereal for the first time, which was a mistake. First off Ava spilled it all over the floor before I even added water to it. Griffin wanted nothing to do with sitting in the bumbo seat and eventually arched his way out screaming, in the meantime Crew starts crying because Griffin is, and neither of them would even eat any cereal in their mouth. They both just sat there crying. Then I look over to see that Ava has the bowl and spoon and she is eating it all. Go figure, at least someone likes it. Maybe i'll try it again sometime down the road!

Griffin sat after with this look on his face not moving a muscle for fifteen minutes as if we had done something awful to him.

After their bath they sat on the couch looking like they had just really been through something together! I often find them holding hands now whenever they are laying or sitting by each other. It's pretty cute!

Baby Lambs

A woman who Sue works with is raising baby lambs in Springville so she invited the kids out to see them. They were cute and the kids loved watching them!

Makenna and Blake

We got hot chocolate and a donut after being outside in the cold!


Sue, Katherine and Mikayla

Soldier Hollow Sledding

We went night tubing with my dad's BYU ward up at Soldier Hollow. We had a fun time, although Ava wasn't able to go down the hills because she wasn't three, so she played in the snow for a few and stayed in the lodge with grandma most of the time while Chris and I went down a couple of runs!

In Memory

President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away this evening at the age of 97. He was an incredible man and had such an enthusiasm for life. Every time I heard him speak I felt the spirit and he made me feel like everything will be ok. We will greatly miss him as our beloved prophet.

Happy Birthday Lacey and Lindey

For Lacey and Lindey's birthdays all the girls went to lunch at Guru's and then we had a family get together in the evening. Happy Birthday to both of you, I couldn't ask for better sisters! We Love you!

Lacey turned the big "30" this year. Being thirty isn't so bad! Lacey has a fun-loving personality and is usually up for anything. She is a great mom to her kids, an awesome wife to rick and is involved in many school and church duties (which she does all of so well)! She has always been a great sister to me as well as one of my best friends! We hope you had a great birthday!

Lindey turned 21 this year and just celebrated their first wedding anniversary! Way to go! Lindey is a sensitive, caring person and always willing to help! Thanks for being a fun sister and friend! Hope you had a great day!
