Spring Break!

Spring Break was this last week, and we were lucky enough to be able to go to St. George for some fun in the sun! Our original plans since last year were to go to Disneyland, but we didn't get things booked in time, and it ended up working out that St. George would work a lot better. So Saturday the 11th, we drove down to St. George and were able to see family and friends on the way down, then as we were driving through Salt Lake, Keith decided that we were going to drive through his old neighborhood to see his old house in American Fork. It was fun to see him get so excited to show me where he rode his bike, his school and where his friends used to live.
We finally got into Keith's Grandma's house in st. george and we all went out to dinner and then stayed at her house overnight. The next morning we visited with her and played some games. It was really nice to see her and visit with her. Then we drove over to the condo in green valley that we stayed at for the next 3 days. Big thanks to Ilene for letting us use her condo! It was such a wonderful vacation, we enjoyed every minute of it!
The next few days were full of...hiking (I actually hiked! twice!) relaxing, swimming, shopping, sleeping in and just enjoying some much needed sun shine!
We went on a pretty long hike up to Snow Canyon, see pics, Keith just kept saying I think it is just over this hill. Three mountains later and a bunch of sand, we found it! I do have to say it was worth it in the end though! He is such a good sport to put up with me :)
On Tuesday we got the opportunity to go to the St. George temple. It was a beautiful day and that temple is so pretty. We had a great time and met some really nice people.
After the temple we went to visit Suzie (Keith's aunt) at the jewelry shop. We always stop at the shop to find some fun jewelry, it's become a tradition. Luv ya Suz
Another highlight to the trip was In'n Out Burger of course! We got our favorite Neapolitan shake and the best burgers around! I so wish we had one closer, but that might not be a good thing :) ha ha
We drove home on Wednesday and on the way home stopped to hike one last hike, then stopped at Grandma Hebe's to say bye and headed out, then when we got to ogden we stopped to play a game of Scrabble with My Grandma Z, she is such a sweetheart, we love to go visit and play scrabble with her, she is still the reigning champ!
After that we headed up north and stayed the night at Miss and Joel's (thanks guys!) Brinsen had just lost his front two bottom teeth the night before and we got to see that and Maci at her dance class. It is so fun to watch them grow up.
We definitely miss getting to see all the nieces and nephews milestones, but are so glad to get phone calls, pictures and emails to keep us up on their lives.

We heard that Easton won his pine wood derby race and set a new record!!! That is so exciting, we love you and are so proud of you buddy!

The rest of the weekend was full of cleaning out and organizing to get ready for the baby's room. It is becoming more and more real. It is so fun. I have just started feeling the very first kicks and movements, it is amazing!

For now it is back to work and school and looking forward to the summer. Yay!
Thanks again to everyone who made this last week so nice! It was a wonderful vacation. Lots of love!








I thought this rock looked like a candy corn! Mmmmmm Yummy!
