Sunday Drive




This past Sunday, we thought we would take advantage of late church (our church starts at 1:00) & actually do something productive with the morning hours. So, we decided to go for a little drive up American Fork Canyon. It seriously is like 5 minutes from our house, & this is the first time we have ever driven up there!! What a shame, because it is a beautiful canyon. There is still snow at the top so we couldn't drive as far as we would've liked. We drove as far as we could & then came back down & made it to Tibble Fork Reservoir. We were able to take a few pictures of the kids before we had to head to church. It was an absolutely beautiful day, & we are looking forward to spending a lot of time there this summer!!

St. George Trip!




I absolutely love St. George, & I was lucky enough to get to go last weekend with 4 of my great friends from Ohio, Gretchen, Stacie, Melissa & Harmony. Wish everyone could've gone!! It was a super quick & relaxing little trip. We talked, hung out by the pool, shopped, ate & talked some more. The perfect get away. I just wish it could've lasted another week or so (that's not too much to ask, is it?). I also have to admit that I had my first In-N-Out experience, & I'm pretty sure I now cannot live without it. That place is so dang good! Thanks Stacie for letting us stay in your condo & thanks girls for rearranging schedules so we all could go. We don't do stuff like that often enough & it was so much fun!!

A Few of our April Happenings!





It has been a little too long since I last updated this thing, but we've had a pretty fun April. Brandon had a field trip to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point & for some reason, I thought I would volunteer to chaperone. I think it is safe to say that it will be a while before I volunteer for something like that again. It was a lot of fun with A LOT of kids!! Teachers are seriously amazing people!!

Brandon started tee-ball this month. He keeps saying that he just wants to hit, but Derek has been working with him on fielding the ball, & he has started to like being in the field more.

One of my favorite things that happened this past month was we got our very first yard!! It is so nice to send my kids outside to grass instead of dirt & Derek has enjoyed doing yard work for the first time in 8 years. I wonder how long that will last!!
