Easter in St. George

We spent Easter and part of spring break in St. George with my parents and my brothers family. It was such a nice get away and especially nice to miss the latest snow storm up north. We headed down after school on Fri. and our first morning there the Easter bunny arrived. He really outdid himself even though I thought I gave him the memo that treats were plenty! Camden loves treats. In fact, I think he had the majority of his Easter basket eaten by Sat. afternoon....we tried to stop him but he just had that sugar glazed look and kept on eating!

Myah had a rough trip down. She is not our best traveler. She finally crashed in the car at about 11:30 so by the time we got to the condo I was NOT going to wake her to get her ready for bed! So she looked pretty good by Sat. morning.
Easter egg hunt. We had a little easter egg hunt between conferences on Sun. Max and Gab hid the eggs for my kids and then Charley hid some for them when they were finished. The kids had a lot of fun!





Myah loved Holly on this trip. She followed her around everywhere she went! Even when she fell and bonked her head I was giving her loves and she just cried for Oh-wee. It really was pretty cute....I tried to not let it hurt my feelings :). She equally loved Gabrielle and was frequently asking where Gabby was. She sure loved all of the attention she got!



Myah's new favorite face to pull!
One afternoon when the bigger kids and Darin were having a mean game of basketball, I took Myah and Carter to the park to play and had fun playing with my camera. I finally figured out how to work it a little better and now I am not so frustrated with it. Little did I know that using the view finder instead of looking directly into the camera made such a HUGE difference in the focus of the picture. I thought view finders where fun to have....they aren't! Regardless I think I finally got some good pictures!








Our last full day there we had to hit the indoor pool at sand hollow. It is one of our favorites....I wish Logan would have been as smart and built their aquatic center indoors!
Before the jump....
after the jump! (I thought this picture was cool....nice work Dar!)
Myah LOVED the waterslide. I bet Darin took her on it a dozen times!


Happy kiddo's!





Now it is back to real life! I think my kids are going to have a hard time going back to school. They have had such a great spring break and loved no schedules. We already counted and only a little over 30 more school days....hooray! (for the kids....I'm not sure how mom feels about that!)

Hey, I would have loved to see you guys while you were down here, but I was up north in all of the snow anyway, so I guess I'll forgive you for not calling me j/k :-) Congrats on baby #4 too - very exciting!!

Fun weekend - I would have loved to have been out of the cold. Congrats on the new addition (I had to play a little catch-up - kind of busy in March).

Seriously, your Easter Bunny needs to come to our house. Those piles were way bigger than our Santa piles! Looks like you had a great time. Great pictures -- what camera did you end up getting?

The Fun of the Chase

How many are we entertaining out there?
