Sunny St George

11:14 AM Edit This 3 Comments »
So I was getting pretty burned out and trying to beat the winter blues...
My parents moved to St. George and on a sudden impulse Friday morning I packed up the kids and drove down for a visit! Mark was super supportive. Probably because he got the weekend and whole house to himself : )
But we had a blast. We stayed at my parent's house and hung out with my sister and her family (they migrated to the sun as well) and all in all just had a great visit.
I feel pretty empowered! Great fun!

Dinner with the whole St. George Clan

Hiking on the Red Rocks - beautiful!

Cheese!

We found some awesome little caves that were cool and we got a nice break from the sun.

Merrill is not used to hiking so his 5 year old cousin Becca helped him up the trails.

Nora wouldn't let me carry her much - she had to do it herself! Miss Independent!

My parents have set aside a lot of their downstairs to accommodate visiting family - it was great! So much better (and cheaper) that a hotel!

It was a great trip and I am so glad I went! Merrill keeps asking to go back already.

First update - Adam and Jamie are going to move into the basement and rent it starting in April! Yeah! We don't have to move and get great neighbors!

Second - Valentine's day is my Grandmother's birthday - fitting huh? My sisters and I surprised her with a fun lunch! Happy birthday Grandma!
Merrill picked out this shirt himself and it turned out to be a perfect Valentine's shirt - and yeah... he posed this way by himself too... do you think he has a modeling carreer in his future?
Nora was totally happy most of the day, but didn't want her picture taken for Valentine's... she looked too cute not to!
Update #3 - we took the kids on an outing to Cabella's a few weeks ago. The boys had fun with the games and camping equipment.
Nora liked the free Kettle Korn...
They have some fun stuff!
Can you tell we like putting our kid next to big stuff?
Upadte #5 - our kids are growing up and I LOVE IT!!!! We are doing well, having fun and love being a family!

So this is kinda an exciting post for me. In 2002 I graduated from Lehi High school... then went on to...
After Mark and I were married we moved to Salt Lake County and I enrolled at...
8 years, one husband, and two kids later... I WILL GET MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE! It is in general studies (I couldn't decide!) from SLCC and has been a long journey and taking one or two classes at at time in between life. It has been great. I feel pretty darn good about myself and I even bought a hoodie to commemorate the accomplishment. I will get my diploma in the mail in a few months... that will be cool too.
Anyway - I am proud of myself and just wanted to tell the world!
