Easter Weekend

We went camping out on the desert in the bus with my family for Easter. We headed out Thursday after Trevor got off work. When we got there it was pretty cold and windy. We spent the evening hanging out in my Mom and Dad's trailer. Friday the weather was a lot better! We took the boys to go see some Indian writings and to the swinging bridge to let them playing in the water for a bit. When we got back to camp my Dad took Kellen and Karson on a four wheeler ride to go see some caves. Korbin went down for a nap and while he was napping Trev, Shalee, and I decided we would climb up to a cave the was right above our camp. It was pretty high and I am scared of heights and I am not very good at climbing. We made it up there and I was pretty proud of myself because I got a little scared a couple of times. It was a decent sized cave, it was pretty cool. There was a littler cave that was closer to camp that the kids like to play in. They would pretend they were wolves and would howl. The kids like digging and playing on the hills next to our camp as well. My brother Kyle is into repelling and climbing, he setup a place to repel next to our camp for anyone who wanted to do it. Kyle, Shalee, Davin, Dalen, Tiffany, and my Dad all repelled of the cliff. It was cool to watch them come down the cliff wall. I wanted to talk myself in to doing it so bad, but I know I would have freaked out, because I am scared of heights. It was awesome to watch Kyle repel down, because he has had so much experience doing it. Saturday the Easter bunny found us out in the Desert. He hid Kellen and Karson's baskets behind boulders and Korbin's on the fourwheeler. Later that day the kids rode in the back of Dalen's truck to the place where we hiked out to Black Box Canyon it was a pretty hike and I thought the canyon was awesome. It was kind of long for the kids, but it was neat. When we got back to camp my Mom did a fun Easter egg hunt for the kids. That night Shalee made her amazing cobblers and we sat around the fire and talked. Sunday morning Trev and I took the boys on a four wheeler ride to go see a cave. When we got back to camp a few of us went exploring a canyon by our camp. We than came back and listened to conference. By the afternoon there was a little wind and the kids flew kites. I love being out on the desert it is such a fun place to go to with the kids. There is so much to see out there. We didn't make it to all the places we wanted to, but we had a great time. 

This is the view from the cave we climbed to...

Coloring Easter Eggs

For FHE we colored our Easter eggs. I thought for sure Korbin would be throwing eggs everywhere and we would have a big mess. He did really good, he thought it was fun putting the eggs in the cups. Kellen and Karson did a good job too. Usually they want to dip the eggs in every color there is, but they were content with using one color per egg. It got them all excited for Easter.

This Boy

 I call this little boy a menace! He is always up to something! Throwing clothes in the toilet and the shower, drawing all over himself with markers (I am glad he draws on himself and not my walls), throwing popcorn all over the living room and whatever else he can find! He tries to keep up with his older brothers, trying to do everything that they are doing. He loves to wrestle his brothers any chance he gets. It's a good thing I love this little boy he has definitely ran away with my heart and he knows he has me wrapped around his little finger.

The Zoo

We had a fun day going to the zoo with cousins and friends. They have upgraded the park a lot since the last time we went to the zoo. The boys all loved seeing the different animals, riding the train, and the carousel. They enjoyed climbing and sitting on the animal status. Korbin found a little otter statue just his size that he was pretty excited about. He kept kissing it, holding it's hands and giving it loves. It was so cute. I think the boys favorite animal to watch was the sea lions swimming around and playing. Karson likes to pretend he is a tiger all the time. He really wanted to see the tigers, but by the time we got to where the tigers were they had them hid away while they were cleaning the tigers cage. It was a great way to spend the day. I am glad we got to go.

Love these boys

I love spending everyday with these boys, they being me so much joy. Playing out in the sunshine is something I enjoy doing with them. It is hard for me to stay in the house and clean when it is a beautiful day outside.

We love to ride!

It was a beautiful day, a prefect day for a horse ride. Korbin was more than happy to see the horses, Kellen felt like he was pretty big riding a horse by himself, and Karson was happy to ride with his Mommy. I love going on horse rides with our little family.

More California

Our last day in California we took the shuttle to Laguna beach. It was so much fun playing in the waves. Kellen and Karson built a sand castle with uncle Kory and put sea shells on their castle. They said the sea shells were "knights" in their castle. It was a beautiful beach, I can't ever get enough of the beach. When we got back to the resort we had a BBQ and spent the rest of the time enjoying the resort. It was an amazing vacation. I am so grateful we were kept safe in our travels and was able to have a wonderful time as a family. I am already looking forward to going back....
