Easter

It's crazy to me that it's been a year since we moved to Washington. We spent Easter in Utah last year as well, during our drive across the country.  Maybe we should make it a yearly thing...Easter in Utah, not the drive across the country.  Here are some pics of our festivities:

Spring Break

Well, I have about 400 pictures from our trip to Utah. We decided to head down to see some family and friends for spring break. We had such a great time and it's always good to get away! We got in just in time for Tyson to head to priesthood session while I got to see some of my old roommies. Here's what's we've been up to the last 10 years....what? it's been 10 years?!?!

Cooper and Brody (Austyn's), Gracie (Brittany's), Jace, Coleson, Lexi (me), Aveya (Marissa's), and Hailey and Drew, and one more on the way (Andi's)

I was going to get an old roomie picture to put with this one, but we all look the same :-)

We went to see the Bohn's who moved to Utah shortly after we moved to WA. I love how we have followed each other around the country :-)...even if we aren't in the same state

Dying easter eggs

We went to temple square one morning since the kids have never gone before. My favorite part was watching a movie on families that was very touching. The kids liked it because we got to move from room to room depending on the setting of the movie.

We had some good weather while we were there so we took advantage and headed to the park a few times


I told the kids to see how many pine cones they could find and all the kids at the park joined in. Kept them occupied for quite awhile


Then we had a meeting to decide what we should do with them. The consensus was to make a human


A walk at Bridal Veil Falls


This was probably my favorite part of the whole trip. We took Lexi and Jace skiing for the first time. I wasn't planning on going, but last minute I decided to go. I'm so glad I did. Huge thanks to Austyn, Dustin, and Merce. We met Devin and Kaydee up at Snowbird, got our rentals and hit the bunny hill. I was quite nervous, especially for Jace because he gets so cold and cries a lot. Lexi is very cautious too so I thought it could be a very long and miserable day. However, both of them did AWESOME! I couldn't believe it. Lexi picked it up really fast. The first run with Jace took forever but the second run down he figured out how to stop and from there on he did great. His favorite part was when he went off a jump (it was pretty much just a pile of packed snow, like 2") and when he drifted. It was so cute. He kept saying "that was awesome!" I was so proud of both of them!!!


We got to be there to celebrate Aveya's first birthday! Such a cutie!

What a fun trip. Thanks again Austyn and Dustin, and Merce and Ted, for letting us crash with you guys!!!
