A day at the park...

We went to the park in downtown St. George with the boys one day. There are some beautiful sculptures there and also a fun water feature that the kids love to play in. This sculpture reminded me of my boys...always in motion! Oh, the wonderful world of boys!

Catchin' the big one!



Cole caught a fish at the Springs Park pond in our neighborhood! The boys have been trying so hard lately to catch one and it finally happened. They were so excited! Of course, they practiced catch and release. Way to go boys!

Mother's Day at Zion National Park




We went to Zion National Park for Mother's Day (Kathy's request).
It was a gorgeous day and we went on a nice hike up to The Narrows. It is a nice, leisurely walk and the kids had fun watching the tame squirrels, lizards, etc. The water at the top of trail was deep and running fast, so we were sure to stay close to the shore. We couldn't have asked for a better day, weather-wise, and such an enjoyable day with the kids. They had a great time exploring everything all the way up and all the way back. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Poolside BBQ with friends

We had some of our friends over for a BBQ the other night. The kids had fun swimming in the pool. The water is still a bit chilly, but soon enough it will be like a hot tub! The kids in the picture are (L-R): Crew, Cole, Bladen Hosner, Christian, Courtney and Jordan Payne.

Springtime fun...

At the St. George Temple grounds


We went to the St. George Temple visitors center to view some sculptures that were there for a limited time. This picture of Crew was taken while we were waiting to go inside and see the sculptures. It was a beautiful spring day. We sure love our "Crew Bear".


Crew is a soccer stud too!

Crew is also playing soccer. He is motivated to get that ball in the goal! He is doing so well and really helps his team out with his skill. Way to go Bear!

Christian plays soccer

Christian is enjoying soccer this spring. His team has only lost one game and he is playing like a true champion! He really gives it his all when he is on the field and he sometimes plays goalie too. We love Christian's spunk and spirit!

Cole playing Lacrosse

Cole is playing Lacrosse this Spring and is loving it! His team is the Red Rock Rattlers. He has a few friends from the neighborhood who join in on the fun.

Easter



This picture of the boys was taken at Easter. It's always a wrestle-fest to get everyone to smile at the same time, but in this case it worked out. They all looked so handsome. The Kilbournes came down from SLC and spent Easter weekend with us. We are so blessed to have such an awesome family.
