Spring Break

What started out as "Hey, let's see if anyone wants to go camping for Spring Break", turned into this: And that wasn't even all of us! We had such a fun time with these great friends from the ward. It may go down in history as one of the kids' favorite spring breaks! Thanks everyone for such a great week!

S'mores! Seeing everyone else on their bikes, and completely depleating her training wheel on the rough gravel, Lydia decided it was time to ditch the training wheels and taught herself how to ride a 2 wheeler!

See y'all next year!

Lydia's 5th Birthday

Happy Birthday, Baby girl!

If you care to follow along...

Grab yourself a good snack and a comfy seat. I finally posted the last quarter of the year. Enjoy. Bless you for sticking with me. You've got to click back a couple pages worth of posts and scroll all the way to the bottom if you prefer to read chronologically.

Family Photo Shoot

How we managed to squeeze a photo session into our quick visit to Idaho last month, I'm not sure, but I'm so glad we did. I LOVE them. And Ker makes it so fun to get our pictures taken.

Ethan's 7th Birthday

It wouldn't be a birthday of Ethan's without a lot of chocolate...

Can't believe you're already 7.

Happy Birthday, E!

and a few last favorites

It was a long and busy trip, but we had such a great time. We got to see so much family, do so many fun things, and made so many great memories.

and still more cousins

That's it. We have to move back. We have way to much fun with these guys.

And oh my gosh, this guy's adorable.

Brian, Bobbie, and little Finn were up from AZ, so we got to see them too.

Grandma was also around for all of this, but she craftily managed to avoid being in any of my pictures.

Burch cousins

What's a few more hours in the car when you've come as far as we have? And it was so worth the extra drive to Idaho to visit our Burch cousins. Seriously, so much fun. We could have stayed forever.
