Big Whoppin' "Catch up" Post!!!

Here it is, people. It only took 2 hrs.! And there will be more soon...

St. George!

Every march, Cole has a URPA (Utah Rec. & Parks Assoc.) Conference down in St. George. Usually, we leave the kids with their Grandma, and I go with him and enjoy some peace and quiet for a few days. But this year I decide to take the kids with us, since we weren't doing anything fun for spring break. The minute we got to the hotel, the kids wanted to get in the pool!

This is Caleb diving...

swimming...

...and emerging!

The boy could live in a pool if you let him!

Taylee is my social one. This is her with a friend she made at the pool.

Karly

Alexa

The twins like the water, too, but Karly isn't quite as brave as Alexa.

Then we went to a BBQ for the conference at the Washington City Rec. center. They absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave!

Taylee going down...

...down...

...and SPLASH!

K & A going down... Lex going down... ...and Splash... ...SPLASH! Kar going down...

...and SPLASH! I love the looks on their faces in these!

I'm glad we took them with us!

On the way home, we drove up Kolob Canyon. It was really amazing! I don't know how anyone can see something like this and not know there is a God. It was really a spiritual experience for me, and I'm glad we took the time to see it. I highly recommend it for anyone going that way!

Chicks!

Back in March, the twins' preschool had eggs that hatched. Miss Tresa called us when they were hatching, so the girls could see it happen.

Karly and Alexa with their class, watching one hatch. They absolutely loved it! They all stood around it for over an hour watching as it slowly pecked it's way out into the world.

Caleb advances to Bear Den

Caleb received his Wolf Badge and advanced to Bear Den.

Here he is pinning the mother's pin on me.

Getting his face painted in the advancement ceremony. We are so proud of Caleb!
