Happy Birthday Zach!

Our little Zachy man turned three years old on April 7th. He got a lot of fun presents, but especially liked blowing out the candles ( three times) on his birthday cake. Happy Birthday Zach! We love you!










Easter

 We celebrated Easter while we were in St. George for spring break. Sunny and Josh also blessed their baby, Nixon, and then after the blessing we went to a park in Hurricane to have lunch. 

Waiting to go hunt for easter eggs.
Zach was so cute. He had to stop and open every easter egg he got before he went on to try and find some more. He didn't get many eggs but he was one happy boy.

Spring Break

For Spring Break this year we rented a house in St. George with some of Jake's family for five days. The weather was perfect the whole week, mid 80's, and we definitely took advantage of it. The first day, the guys decided to go on an adventure bike ride to Kanab and back. They had a great time!

While the guys were riding we took the kids to a splash pad and arts festival that was at a park within walking of our rental house.

Hadley sure did love Cody, she was helping me out a lot.

 We did a lot of hiking. These pictures were taken at Red Cliffs. It was a short hike into these waterfalls and pools.  The water was freezing, I know because I was crazy enough to jump into one of the pools. Gary convinced me to jump in with him and surprise everyone. We surprised everyone, including myself. Before that, Tyler, Kaden and Uncle Josh took the plunge. AHHH refreshing!

Cody fell asleep like this in Grandma's arms.


The last day we went to Sand Hollow. We ended up renting a razor for a few hours, which the adults had a lot of fun with.  The kids loved playing in the sand and water. What an awesome day!

Danny took Kaden and Tyler treasure hunting with his metal detector. 
 The house we rented had an awesome backyard, complete with a barbeque area and oversized hot tub which was put to use every night.
