Zions National Park

On our last full day in St. George we decided to go to Zions. Our first hike was to the emerald pools. We only made it to the first pool because we had strollers. It was really neat to see the waterfalls and being able to walk underneath them.

Next we took the shuttle to the riverside walk.

This walk had the prettiest scenery. I could walk there everyday...seriously!

Logan at the beginning of the narrows...which someday I hope to hike!

I loved how the rocks had the prettiest flowers growing on them!

Good bye Zions...

It was a super fun, memorable and much needed vacation!

Snow Canyon

On Sunday it was a little cooler so we decided to go over to Snow Canyon. The kids loved playing in the red sand.

We hiked up a sand riverbed up to the three ponds. They weren't very big but they were a happy sight after walking in miles of sand.

This was my favorite view of the top two.

A found this pretty cactus in bloom on the other side of the ponds.

Up from the three ponds was another water hole.

On the way back it started to sprinkle a tiny bit, which was nice because it cooled us off. And the way back was lots faster than the way up!

Isn't that sand so pretty!!!

Red rocks of St. George

The red rocks north of St. George was my favorite place and you'll be able to tell by how many pictures I took! Fun shadow pictures

The view from the top of the Dixie rock was so pretty. The temple is so beautiful...

Logan was hard to keep up with he kept climbing rocks everywhere. He was loving it.

Carter was in heaven!

Brylee loved posing by pretty rocks.

Boston was quite the climber too!

We love St. George! I made Ben promise me that he would consider buying us a winter home someday down there!!!

St. George swimming

We went to St. George over memorial weekend with my sister's family, Ben's parents and his sister's family. Thank goodness because it was a rainy mess at home so it was a good call on that one. We LOVED the pool at our hotel, it went indoor and outdoor and the hot tub was warm and lovely!

I miss this place already, can we go back!?!?

Hogle Zoo

Today we met Bry at the zoo for her last field trip. I got to take the boys this time, and they were thrilled!! Boston was most excited to see the elephants. Hanging on some elephant bones.

Brylee's friend from school, Abby got to hang out with us for the day. They both have the same raincoat as you can see... and they were super excited about it!

Loving the tigers.

Carter was in love with the giraffes. I think he would of looked at them all day if I'd let him.

The dinosaurs were cool. They were pretty realistic, one even spit water (which the kids of course loved). And what's a little more water when you've been drizzled on all day anyway!?

This was their first time at the zoo and we had a great time! It was fun to spend the day with my kids and see them get so excited for every new animal. We'll definitely be back!!!

The kiddo's

On Easter my SIL took some really cute pictures of my kids and sent them to me.
Here's my crazy Carter man... My silly Boston boy...

My beautiful Brylee girl...

And my handsome Logan guy...

(love this picture, it's my favorite!!! Thanks Kam!)

A fantastical birthday party

Today we celebrated Brylee's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese with my side of the family. She picked out this cute Tinkerbell cake. And got spoiled with some great gifts, thanks everyone!

Everyone chowing down on some pizza.

Carter was obsessed with Chuck E.

Watch out Quinn you're riding with a mad man!!!

Brylee was big enough to go over and do the skeeter ball. She loved it and ended up getting really good at it. That was my favorite game when I was younger... so it was a proud moment!

Whack that mole, buddy!!

Boston was so cute on this horse. He was so excited and was kicking it and raring it back like a real horse. Oh, how this boy makes me laugh!!!

Carter LOVED this ball game. I wish I would of video taped his face, he got so excited when the balls would fly up.

This was the last ride of the night if you couldn't tell. He was so tired and all he wanted to do is hug this dog, it was really cute!

Thanks to everyone who came, it meant a lot to us! We had a fantastic time and will definitely be going back for the little boys birthdays.
