New addition

We were so excited to pick out these cuties!
We are entering the world of raising chickens for eggs.
Lots to learn and lots of fun.




The striped one is Alex's that he named Pepe' Nighthawk
Mine is the top left yellow named Henny Penny
Haili named the bottom left Goldilocks
The top middle is Emma's named Black Pearl
The bottom middle is Scot's named Betty Drumstick
Sean named the bottom right Butters

So cute all cuddled together


They love to be held







Tugzi even loves them.

PLEASE drop us any hints or suggestions!!!
We have decided on an A-frame tractor coup that can be moved around our yard rather than a stationary coup. We figure we'll let the chickens wander the back yard picking bugs and weeds.

Prom

Sean asked a girl to prom this year
(used to be his girlfriend, but they are just friends now)
They set Sean's friend up with her friend, so they could all go as a group
It was fun to see them dressed up in their suits and dresses
They had a blast!

Spring Break

Saint George over Spring Break was beautiful!
Hanging out with Cinda (with her kiddos) and Carlie (with her kiddos) was so much fun.
We took the kids to the overlook where there is plenty of climbing and hiking





















We ventured into Zions for the day and hiked the Emerald pools lower, middle, and upper falls hikes.
Our kiddos were such troopers and really enjoyed the more challenging parts of the hike.

My girls and I wishing the boys could have come...they really missed out.













Stopping for breaks with beautiful views made the hike even more fun







We made it to the upper falls








The view from the middle pools







It was breathtaking!

Easter fun

Easter came and went at our house
Everything is hidden on Easter morning, including our kid's baskets.
Scot and I giggle as they all scurry around looking for everything the Easter bunny left.
This year they found money in their eggs, candy (sugar free since the girls are on their candy diet), new dress (for the girls), gift certificates (for the boys), and a new bath towel for each of them.










Oobies!!!!
The girls have been wanting these and somehow they found their way into our house.


After all the Easter eggs were found at our house, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's house for more Easter fun!
The kids were all waiting for their uncle to open the back door and let them out for the Easter egg hunt.







Alex and Sean were like two little boys gathering candy:)



Notice the short hair on Alex?












You can't trick this girl!








Sean with a bag full of candy



Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Llewelyn for a fun afternoon and delicious Easter dinner...we love you!
