TREY'S BROKEN ARM!

Last Monday we were having Family Home Evening on the couch. We were just about done when Jared did something funny and made the kids laugh. Of course, they got all hyper and Trey started jumping on the couch. Within about a minute or so he had fallen off right onto his arm. He was crying so hard and I could tell when I picked him up that something was wrong with his arm. We ended up in the emergency room until late that night. He was such a good little boy at the hospital. He never cried and was completely cooperative. He looks so cute in his little cast. It is amazing how adaptable little kids are. He pretty much does everything he did before and never complains about it. He even caught two fish with only one arm at the fish farm. He is such a good boy!

Dance Competition and Va-Del Revue!

Madison had a great year of dancing and gymnastics. She is so lucky to have her grandma and aunts as her teachers! They are wonderful! Madison got to perform at two competitions (one in Logan and the other Roy) and the dance revue at Bear River High School. The girls all looked so cute and did such a great job!

SPRING BREAK 2010!

For spring break this year I took the kids to the Living Planet Aquarium and Temple Square. The kids loved the water animals! I think we all agreed that the penguins were our favorite. We also enjoyed such beautiful weather at temple square. It was the nicest day we have had all year. The flowers were beautiful! We also went on the tour of the Conference Center and roof. The kids thought it was pretty neat!

Happy Easter 2010

We had a great Easter this year full of lots of egg hunts with cousins, coloring and eating eggs, lots of candy, family parties, good food, and full Easter baskets. The only thing we could have changed is having some warmer weather. We woke up to a little snow Easter morning. When Trey saw the snow he started to cry and said "I want it to be spring". The kids have had a bad case of spring fever lately, so we are anxious for some warmer weather.

St. George Vacation!

Jared's parents just bought a home in St. George, so we decided to get out of the cool weather for 5 days and enjoy some warmer weather in sunny St. George. It wasn't quite as warm as we thought it would be, but still warm enough to get outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We did a lot in the short amount of time we were there. We enjoyed 4 beautiful hikes, swimming every day, playing at the sand dunes, jumping around at Jumping Jacks, eating and playing games at Pirate Island, the boys went golfing and Krista and I enjoyed a massage and lunch. It was such a refreshing get away. The kids have been asking to go back every day since.

Mayan Riviera Vacation!

For Christmas this year Jared surprised me with a vacation to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico. We left on December 28. It was quite the rush getting ready to go with the busy holidays, but it was worth it! We have been married for almost 10 years and haven't been on a vacation with just the two of us since our honeymoon. Jared did a wonderful job planning and even finding babysitters for the entire week. We stayed at a quiet all inclusive couples resort on the beach. It was so peaceful and beautiful! We spent most of the time relaxing and reading at the resort. The snorkeling was awesome! We saw about 10 sea turtles, a barracuda the size of me, stingray, puffer fishes, and hundreds of other beautiful fish. We went kayaking, played beach volleyball, visited the Tulum ruins, Akumal beach, shopped in Playa Del Carmen, drank lots of frozen drinks, and ate wonderful food! We had a 5 course dinner at a different fancy restaurant every night. The presentation of the food was awesome! We even brought in the New Year on the beach with mechanical bull riding, a live band and fireworks. We had such a wonderful time! It was hard to say goodbye to the warm weather and return to the cold, but we were excited to see the kids again!
