Easter Weekend

Road Trip Weekend!  We pounded out a cool 1000+ miles over Easter weekend and drove down to see Stan and Melanie and their boys.  It was a great trip!  Thanks so much Stan and Melanie for hosting us and all of the great food.  We had a great time.  Here are some of the highlights.

Lots of cousin time! 

Easter egg hunt.

These girls found a little something extra in their basket!

We got to partake in Stan and Mels’ conference french toast tradition.

We dyed Easter Eggs.

And wasn’t conference awesome!  I felt like this was my favorite conference weekend since I was on my Mission.  President Nelson doesn’t mess around.

Prime rib dinner.  Super delicious!

Stan and Mel are so proud of Sterling!

We’re excited for Ashley and Eliza to have one of our own to play with.

Glorious Sunday evening walk.

On our way back, we made a stop at Arches.  It turned out to be a pretty good day to go.  It was the day after Easter and most of the crowds from the weekend had already left.  On the downside, there was a storm rolling in so it was super windy, but we didn’t mind except for the occasional sand and dust in the face.

Ashley took this picture 🙂

Sand Dune Arch

After leaving Arches, we were famished, so we backtracked to Moab and at at the Fiesta Mexican.  We really liked it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a bite in Moab.

Super fun weekend.  A good roadtrip can leave you pretty exhausted physically, but recharged and ready to go emotionally.  We are really glad we went!

March Fun

Happy St. Patricks Day.  My kind of day!

Our little leprechaun.

We had an ice skating evening with work where we rented out one of the rinks at Peaks Ice Arena.  It was a really fun activity and the girls had a great time.  The blue walker things were super helpful.  Ashley figured out how to wedge her skates in and just slide along like a champ.

We got the dirt bike fixed up and ready for another season.  The girls begged to come for a ride and they loved it.  We rode around for over a mile in the backyard!

And, it wouldn’t be March without a birthday party for Kevin!
