We are a loving family of three, hoping to be a family of four.
We love life and can't wait to share it with another child.

Easter

Coloring eggs, Tyler had a lot of fun!








Easter morning was great. Tyler woke us up just before 8:00 am and was so excited to go find his Easter basket. He didn't even care about the eggs around the house, all he wanted to do was find his basket. The Easter Bunny didn't hid the basket very hard, after Tyler walked around the room a couple of times and looked in the curtains and under some furniture, he found it behind our picture collage. Once he played with the few things in his Easter basket, he decided to find the eggs and was running around putting them in his basket. Grandpa arrived around 8:30 am and helped Clinton hide the colored eggs in the backyard. Then Tyler and I headed outside to find more eggs. He found a couple of the eggs on his own and then started to loose interest, so Ashes helped him find the rest of the eggs. They were a great team! We headed back inside to do a Easter lesson with some plastic eggs I made years ago that contain items and a scripture to help us understand the resurrection. It was really cute because Tyler helped Grandpa read his, adding his own interpretation but amazingly enough actually using some correct scripture words. I was impressed! We went to visit Mom/Grandma "Marilyn" in Rehab to wish her Happy Easter and bring her a basket of goodies. Monday, April 6th she had hip replacement surgery. She looked great and even managed to walk around while we were there. Later that day we headed over to my Grandparents house for Easter Dinner. The food and company was wonderful and Tyler had a blast playing with his cousins. Tyler stocked up on more eggs after an Easter egg hunt Becky put together for the kids. Thanks Becky for always organizing fun activities for the kids.





















West Desert

Clinton, Tyler, Grandpa Lynn, Anthony and Tate headed out to the West Desert to go camping. When they came home they had smiles on their faces and smelled like camp. What more is there to say!

Tate brought his bike and Tyler had fun playing on it

CAMP


Clinton said that Ashes loved running through the water

Clinton told me that the boys took off hiking up a hill with Ashes and didn't even think twice at look back. Luckily they didn't make it too far before Clinton caught up with them.


This picture says it all ~ EXHAUSTED!

St. George

St. George was a lot of fun and warm, Yippee! It was nice to get away and relax. Tyler enjoyed the pool and Clinton enjoyed hiking in Snow Canyon, while I just enjoyed being apart of it all. As you'll see we were a little camera happy.

Someone on the trail offered to take our picture, and I'm glad to have one with us all together, even if it isn't the best of us all

I love this picture Clinton took of this rock with moss, the contrast is beautiful


We were trying to help Tyler see the frog on the wall, Clinton finally took a picture of one and threw it at us, so we could see it swim in the water


Who doesn't love playing in the sand


The real question is, did Clinton slide down this rock?
