St George

We headed to St George with Wade's family for their spring break.  It did not disappoint!

he's cute
we love exploring snow canyon

lava tube explorations

see above comment

Connor thought it was pretty neat to hold a lava rock


Sierra and Kate really bonded this trip

Scooter ride to the park where Connor had an awful fall on his 2 wheel scooter, then continued the ride.  He is the toughest kid I know.

Wisan's get together!

Everyone in the Wisan family was together for a very (read hours) short time.  The Walkers came out for a funeral, the Vegas Wisan's drove up for the occasion, and of course Wade and I were already here.  The cousins had a lot of fun getting to know each other better.

Connor turns 7!!!

My Connor boy is 7 years old!  He continues to amaze me, challenge me and surprise me.  It is so fun to see how his mind works.  He enjoys first grade and does really well when he interested in what the assignment is (not so much when he's not interested 😃)  He loves to play with the neighborhood boys, bike and scooter ride, play minecraft with dad, and read (unless you want him to read out loud.  cough cough).  He has just started taking piano lessons and seems to like it some of the time.  He is also really into telling jokes.  He is a sweet sweet boy and we love him so much!

A snowy cabin adventure


We went to the Bench family cabin over presidents day. It was one of my favorite family trips EVER!  It was everything a trip to a snowy cabin should be.

The kids loved the snow caves left by the scouts



I loved adding skis to the stroller
It was great to snuggle  by the fire with grandma



If the big Kids were outside,  Ethan wanted to be there too. Once Ethan kept banging on the window,  then brought grandpa his snow boots and gloves

There was so much snow!

Ethan 15 months

Ethan had his 15 month check up this week.  He is still my tall boy at 32.75 inches putting him in the 91st percentile.  His weight was 24.6 lbs (52%).  At his check up he immediately started crying when the doctor laid him down for his exam.  He was fine as soon as he sat up again and the doctor looked at me and asked if Ethan was sensitive.  He most definitely is.  His wears his feelings on his sleeves and has a tender little heart.  He's not saying many words yet, but he's really good at screaming.  He has just started to really try and run around and play with Connor and Sierra.  It's pretty cute.
