Zion's National Park

So Ashton had an entire week off from school in the middle of February. I found ways to keep us all busy and for the last couple of his days off we headed South for a couple of days to visit with Grandma and Grandpa. One of the days we were there we headed to Zion's National Park to get out to enjoy the nature and fresh air. We had a lot of fun walking a couple of trails.



John decided to test his photographic abilities, looks pretty good if you ask me!

Happy Birthday!

This year for my birthday we got a night out, just me and my honey! It was great! We had a gift certificate with a lot on it and set out to spend it at a very expensive restaurant. It was a lot of fun and super yummy!
So the next night I still really wanted cake so I made some and invited a few of my favorite people over to eat some cake with me!

I wasn't sure we would be able to top last year but this turned out pretty great too!

Playtime!

So the beginning of February all of the snow was melted off and it was a whole 45 degrees or so and the kids were thrilled to get out and play. I really enjoyed my time outside too. I have been convinced it is spring ever since. I really don't know if there was really that much less snow this year or moving helped that much.

The results are in...!!!!

Need I say more?

Another Milestone

Last Sunday, Ashton decided to smack his face on a chair and knocked a slightly loose tooth, much looser and bloody. I got sick of the whining and so I pulled the tooth out. He was so happy that the tooth fair was going to come and visit him. He was very very happy to find paper money under his pillow Monday morning.

I am so sad now because he had perfect teeth and very cute smile and now I cannot help but wonder if his permanent teeth will come in straight or just plain grow in crooked.

Ice Fishing!

The second Saturday in January John took the boys ice fishing. I guess they got lucky! This was Ransom's catch and from what they had seen this was the catch of day!

Ransom had a lot of fun out on the ice and Ashton told me it was no fun for him because he did not catch a fish.

Monster Truck!

Here is Ashton and all of his Kindergarten class with the monster truck. A cute boy in Ashton's class got a trip to school in a monster tuck in association with Make-A-Wish Foundation wish enhancement.
They showed up to school during the class show and tell with the monster truck on a flat bed and come complete with a police escort and news crews. The word around the school was that it was someones show and tell!
