Easter in St. George!

This Year we were able to spend Easter in St. George-my parents bought a home down south this last Spring so we stayed a week with them. It was so much fun and felt great to be able to be outside! The weather in Vernal is so unpredictable this time of year and it happened to be freezing cold this year so I was really glad to be where there was some warm weather! I can't wait until we can go again and spend more time!

Mickey & Minnie!

This year for Halloween Evan and Ellie wanted to be Mickey and Minnie-their very FAVORITE cartoon is "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" well it was horrible because on Halloween we all got the stomach flu so they weren't able to dress up or go trick-or treating!! But, a least they still love the costumes-they are always dressing up in them and everytime I look at Evan with those huge gloves on and his squeaky ears I bust out laughing-he is such a little doofus!! So I guess that the Halloween costumes weren't a total waste!

Living Planet Aquarium!

When we did the marathon we decided to take the kids to the aqarium-it was actually really cool! They had tons to see and even had a sting ray tank where the kids could touch them if they wanted too. Notice Ellie's pj pants-she peed her pants and luckily I had just bought her some new pj's and notice Evan's golashes he calls them his "work boots" he practically stole them-he let me know real quick that we were not leaving the store until they were his!!

Our Newest Addition!

Meet Lilly- the newest member of our family!!

Little Dorks!

So for a while Evan and Ellie thought that every time I folded laundry they needed to get the ironing boards out and help me. Ellie got her own set for christmas, but Evan didn't get one (big mistake on Santa's part) so he uses mine-I have to put it down on his level and he uses my real iron (And I have to keep reminding him that he can't plug it in because it gets hot and will burn him and he will have to go to the er and get a shot in his bum) Needless to say my iron is now broken and the ironing board doesn't stand as level as it should!! They also think that they need to try on all of the clothes that I am trying to fold. In these pictures they are wearing my t-shirts! Oh they are such great little helpers!!

Kona

This year for christmas my parents gave us a trip to Kona. We really wanted to go to Kona and see Stewart, Betsy, and Jonah. We have missed them so much!! All I can say is that this was one of my very best trips-we had so much fun. We actually had rooms at a great resort but we only ended up staying there one night-we really wanted to spend time with the Solmonson's so we stayed with them the rest of the time!! It was so awesome for the twins to get to play with Jonah and get to know him better and it was perfect because we had our own round the clock personal tour guides-we definitely got to see a lot more staying with them then if we would have stayed at the resort! We spent most of our days at the beach, letting the kids play and searching for sea shells. Jimmy got to go golfing one day, and he went out on Stewart's boat another day. We were originally supposed to stay 7 days but we were having so much fun we extended our trip another 3 days-and I still wasn't ready to come home!! We were so sad to leave Stewart, Betsy, and Jonah and the beach!! We will definitely be visiting the island again-hopefully sooner than later!!! Thanks mom and dad-it was the best family vacation ever!!
