My 29th Birthday/ Hiking in Arches

I have to say that I am one blessed Mom and Wife. The men in my life sure know how to make me feel special on my Birthday. On my Birthday Trevor brought me lunch from biggies and beautiful roses. Later that day we stopped and got ice cream on our way to Kellen and Karson's baseball game. It was a great day!

I have been wanting to go to Arches with our family for sometime now and this year for my Birthday we made it happened! It was so much fun! A prefect day and the boys were all such good hikers! We went on every hike that I was wanting to do. We also took our nephew Kort along with us and he was a joy to have. The boys will tell you their two favorite hikes was the Delicate Arch and the Sand Dune Arch. When we were at the Delicate Arch there was a couple who got engaged under the Arch it was pretty neat! The boys had a blast at the Sand Dune Arch and probably could have stayed there all day jumping off rocks, playing in the sand, and climbing on top of the arch. Having 5 boys with us under the age of 8 we were getting some really weird looks and comments about how many boys we had. We got asked if we had twins, if we were wanting a basketball team and other things like that. I definitely want to go back sometime!

Going on Kellen's Field Trip

I went on my first field trip with Kellen. It was fun being about to spend sometime with him and his class without the brothers. We road the bus up to Thanksgiving point and spent the day at the museum of curiosity. The kids all had a good time running around and exploring.  

Camping on the Desert for Easter

We couldn't have asked for better weather to go camping in for Easter being so early in the year this year. The boys had tons of fun playing with their cousins and exploring the rock walls around our camp. The first night we were there Shalee and Davin came out for dinner and stayed around to play corn hole with us. That night we colored Easter eggs with the boys. Kellen and Karson colored their eggs as fast as they could, so they could go outside and play again. That night Trevor went outside and fired a shot from his Dad's 20 pistil and told all the kids he had shot the Easter Bunny. All the kids were sad and was not very happy with Trevor. The next morning the Easter Bunny had come! All the kids were excited to find their buckets and the Easter eggs they had painted the night before. We listened to both General Conference sessions that day. Trevor and I did a little exploring ourselves climbing the rock walls by where we camped. It was fun going for a hike with him while the boys themselves enjoyed playing in the rocks surrounding camp. When we got back we went on hike with all the kids on the rock wall above our camp it was pretty neat and the view was awesome. We than went on a fourwheeler ride down to swinging bridge to let the kids play in the river. They loved it! They could have stayed there all day! Kellen slept in a ten Saturday night with Shannon and Tyson while Kort and Karson slept in Grandma's trailer.  Sunday we mostly listened to Conference and ate good food and packed up and went home. The kids didn't want to leave they were begging to stay. We love camping on the desert!
