Snow Canyon

The last stop we made before we left sunny Saint George was a quick drive and hike up Snow Canyon. 



We had such a fun time.  My kids slept most of the way home. 
It was the perfect little get away weekend.

St. George Continued

On Easter Sunday we spent the day at the St. George temple. 
I love Kylee and her awesome poses.  She comes up with them by herself.  She cracks me up. 


Gosh I'm lucky!  Look at those cute faces!  I'm so glad they are mine!

Another Kylee pose. 
The St. George temple is so gorgeous.  It's one of my favorites. 


Yep - another Kylee pose. 

The view from our hotel.  It was awesome. 

Last year we discovered this fun splash park and had a great time again at it. 

Cannon LOVED the fountain.  He was so darn cute running through it - laughing the whole time.


It was a wonderful time. 
I love St. George!

St. George

We took a quick weekend trip down to St. George over Easter/Cannon's birthday weekend.  I love being in St. George for Easter.  Brings back good memories and it's fun to be there making new memories with my sweet little babies.  They make everything so much more fun. 


Showing me how old he is turning on his birthday. :)


We stopped at Cove Fort on the way down.  My kids loved it (and welcomed the chance to get out of the car).  It also brought back fun memories.  It is a really neat place full of lots of history.  I highly recommend stopping at this FREE attraction if you are ever heading down south. 

This is "Bum Crack Rock"
That's what we named it anyway.
Cannon was looking for more "bum crack rocks" the whole time we were in Zion's. 
It was National Parks week so we got in for free so we thought we might as well check it out and hike a little.  I love Zion's.  It's one of my favorite places. 


My kids LOVED Zion's and were such fun hikers.

Easter







We had an extremely fun Easter this year. 
I'm so very thankful to be a mom. 
Holidays are so much more fun with little kids to celebrate with.

Happy Birthay Cannon!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS 3!!!
Cannon is SUCH a joy to our family.  He is SOOO sweet, funny, and smart.  He makes me smile and laugh every day.  He is so good at saying please and thank you and always knows just how to warm my heart.  He will tell me he loves me out of the blue and just has the sweetest personality as well. 

He is such a character.  He loves to make faces for the camera. 




Cannon - you are such a joy to be around and I am so glad you are my son.  I love you so much and our family would not be complete without you.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANNON MAN!!!

Signs of Spring

I'm no photographer - but I love these pictures I got on Monday as I worked downtown.  It actually looks like Spring on Temple Square.

Happy Birthday To Me!

For my birthday - I really wanted a gun.  I've been shooting a few times with a bunch of guys that I work with and each time I leave thinking - "I really need a gun of my own. One that for sure belongs to a girl."  After lots of research I decided on the one below.  I LOVE IT!!  It is so easy to load, shoot, and clean and most importantly...IT'S REALLY CUTE!   


I LOVE LOVE LOVE the PINK CAMOUFLAGE!
And like I said - it's really easy to shoot.  I am a pretty good shot with it.  It's only a .22 but it does the job. 
I got yelled out by the "professionals" for having my finger on the trigger for this picture - but don't worry...I'm not THAT dumb.  The magazine wasn't even in the gun and I had already double checked the chamber to make sure there wasn't any bullets there either.  AND the safety was on.  I just wanted to look cool in the picture ok Jeff!  ;) 
My kids LOVED shooting but it made me super nervous to have them there.  They were very good though and listened closely to the instructions and learned a lot. 


This gun is so fun to shoot - like twice.  It's SUPER powerful and the kickback is pretty intense.  It's fun but I still love my little gun more. 
My best Charlie's Angel's impression.  :)
