Spring Break in St. George

We love St. George and love going for Spring Break!

I think this is the petrified dunes hike.


Hanging with Venna. We love getting together with the Thomases.

I think this was Violet's first time doing Bear Claw Poppy. She did great!

This guy is the cutest.

Playing at the bike park



Hiking to see the petroglyphs at the Anasazi Trail.




Always willing to strike a pose and our only willing photo subject.





We always have to have a stop at the Pizza Factory! Breadsticks are a must and everyone's favorite.




Lots of games, of course

More Bear Claw


Violet and Venna went on a hike with Jason. They're the cutest buddies.


We stopped at the St. George Farmer's Market at Tuacahn. The Potato Tornado was a big hit.

And Violet got the cutest new earrings. Til next time, St. George!

January-March Highlights

Andy went on a cruise with his friend Cade Myers and this is literally the only photo we have. But apparently he had the best time ever.

Happy first birthday to Anna!

A cute preschool shot of Davis.

Always building creations!

We took a quick trip to St. George with Greg and Kathy for Andy's soccer tournament.


mini golf


We finally graduated Davis from a crib to a big boy bed. Yes, yes...he's 4 1/2 haha. We kept him in a crib as long as humanly possible, but he started crawling out too consistently. The freedom was too much for him and he barely slept for months and got up to play in the middle of the night and very early for a long time.

But he was sure excited about the change! :)

A fun activity days activity for Max.

Kangaroo Zoo with friends--Evelyn and Graham.

I tried a course of ketamine therapy to try to get off of my SSRI medication. I did 8-9 treatments and it was definitely a wild experience.


Always designing and building weapons.


A fun BYU bball game


Cuties with their pets.

We had the Jones family over for dinner. We always love getting together.

Max and Cohen creating something cool.

Another fun activity days activity for Max.

Utah program for Max! He had to hold Ellie's hand and I heard a lot about it.


So fun to have Hadley at his school this year!

Violet playing spa at the Kenny's house. 

We took GG to the symphony for her Christmas present.



Another cute preschool shot.


Andy at the arcade with Isaac and Grayer.

I think Davis was trying something spicy here, haha.

Making muffins for activity days

Cameron and I went snow-mobiling with Jair. It was much harder than I thought it would be.

Solo festival win for Max and Violet.

I love seeing my piano friends at Encore events and hearing their kids play too. This is with Seidi and Jill.

So fun to have GG and Greg and Kathy come to the honors recital.

And dinner at Maria Bonita's is always the best.

Valentine's Day hair for Miss Violet.

This guy loves puzzles.

Finally lost her first tooth!


Another day, another weapon designed.

And more puzzling too.


Violet and I went to a U of U gymnastics meet with Grace and Christine.


Another junior jazz season for Andy.


We had a fun activity days daddy/daughter brunch.

Davis's cute preschool.

Just the sweetest pic of Violet and Monroe. I love their friendship.


Church with Abby. Davis put her to work. (He is constantly requesting back scratches.)

Abby came with us to Greg and Kathy's and sang a lot for them. She was basically joking around but they took it pretty seriously and it was very funny.
 
Kathy is the sweetest grandma. My guess is that she's making jib jabs with the kids here (they love it and ask her to do it all the time).

Birthday party for Maxy.

House of Jade put some finishing touches on our main floor and finished the styling of the basement. Fun to see it all come together!





I think this is battle of the books for Max.


You can't really see Max here, but I think this is the only record I have of his junior jazz season, which we forced him to play. He hated every second of it haha.

I had the funnest ski day with Violet! We went with Avery and Lindsey to Sundance and had a blast.




Violet made these with friends. :)

Davis loves to play with Trey and loves to play games.

A fun zoo visit.




This is from when Cameron and I went to see Tiny Habits in concert. We paid for VIP tickets and it was very funny because we barely know who they are and definitely didn't need a VIP package because the venue was mostly empty.

We went to see my cute student Luke Mabey in Willy Wonka. He was Charlie.

Violet loves Anna.

Happy Birthday to Greg and GG.



Davis went through a huge "Memory" phase and wanted to play it constantly.

Our stake did a cool Easter walk.

One of many playdates Davis had with Tagg and Trey.
