Family Vacations

In the past few weeks we have taken a couple family trips. First we went to Albuquerque, NM for Michelle's graduation and spent time with the cousins. From there, we went to Pagosa Springs, Colorado with Dave's family. We spent a week soaking in hot springs, miniature golfing, horse back riding, hiking, doing "kid crafts", river rafting and playing frisbee with family. It was fun to see such a beautiful part of the world and spend time with the Minks.

Birthday Weekend for Birthday girl!

My mom turned the big 50 and we celebrated hard in St. George with all the girls in the fam. We went to the Tuacahn theator and watched Brian Reagons comedy show.

We laid out, swam, played tennis, cards and hiked!

There is the tree my mom wanted to hike to, so we did! She is a die hard hiker. But... this was not a hike, it was more like rock climbing. No trail was in site.

Fun times!

Congrats MOM!

So my mom has had a big last few weeks. First off, she graduated with her MASTERS in Special Education! Way to go MOM, I know it was tons of work! She also had a MOTHERS DAY and a BIG B-DAY! I don't if she would approve me saying the age on my blog :)

So we have done a little bit of partying... and there is still more to come. Tomorrow we leave to St. George with all the girls int he family, including her sisters, our cousins, and Grandma. ITs going to be a blast!

Love you MOM!

all about the boys!

Rain and Shine...

Here are some of our happenings....

New Paints...way messy, way fun!

We went up to Hogle Zoo, had lots of fun and decided to buy a pass. So I

guess we are going to be going there a lot. We can get in 1 guest every time, so if anyone ever wants to come with us, let me know!

Our first wheel barrow... The boys thought it was great. And yes, we attempted some yard work:)

Play dough. This is Collins family of ducks (I helped him create) Dave is the red duck, I am purple, Collin is green, Casen yellow, and the new baby dark purple. We played ducks for quite a while.

Easter Fun

Easter Morning.... Kids make everything the best! I truly love being a mommy! We had a great day, and it was even better getting to hear all the conference talks on Jesus Christ on this special day. We finished it off by visiting Grandma and Grandpa Worley Great and Grandpa Worley. I dressed up Collin Casen in cute matching outfits, and FORGOT to take a picture!!!! Ahh... oh well what do you do! I am sure they don't care :)

Easter Egg hunt, crafts and face painting at the park with friends! Does Casen look like he was having fun? haha He was cold and just grumpy, but cheered up a little when he found some candy in eggs. That little man loves his sugar :)

Yarn Machet (is that how you spell it?) Eggs. Super fun, Super messy! I cleaned up large amounts of flour water off my floor! But the boys had a blast. Just today after the eggs dried we popped the red balloons on the inside and they are SOOO cute, when finished! I am going to save them, I actually wish I had made more so I could put them in my iron center piece thingy on my table for Easter decorations. But needless to say, I had to strip the boys down and carry them up to the bath tup to deflour themselves.

St. George Girls Trip

Last weekend I went to St. George with friends and lahooved it! The weekend included laying out at the pool, shopping, eating, glitter toes, oh and did I mention eating?

Thanks Lisa for planning it, and thanks everyone for all the fun. Also, thanks Dave for taking charge with the kiddos while I was gone and Jena for playing with them an afternoon. You guys are the greatest:)

G

We hiked to the G! The boys really enjoyed this hike. My little brother Coleson talked us into doing it with 3 dogs and my little boys. Collin seriously hiked all the way up to the G all by himself! I was proud of him, and for Casen... my mom and I took turns carrying Casen or letting him walk. Dave carried Casen down the mountain. I was proud of him too. Whenever we are driving and can see the "G" Collin and Casen talk about it. Collin seems amazed at how high it is and can't believe he did it.
