Fun, Fun, Fun... Busy, Busy, Busy...

We have had a very eventful month. It stared off with a girls trip to St. George on April 3-5. Morgan and her cousin Bailey had a dance performance at Dixie High School. We went to St. George with grandma Jetta, Haley, Sammy, Mike, Angie, Taylor and Reece. The girls did very well on their performance and had a great time. We shopped, played, and went swimming. The weather was a little bit cold, but better than home. It snowed on the way down. Morgan's team took the overall high point trophy for lyrical - "I hope you dance." Very exciting!






The very next week (April 8-11) the family headed to Las Vegas with the JHS Baseball team. We stayed at the South Point Hotel. This hotel had an amazing swimming pool. The pool area covered about an acre. The hot tub was huge. The pool was actually shockingly cold. The weather was in the mid seventies, but some days were windy and overcast. Kids are crazy and will swim no matter how cold. It also had a movie theater, arcade and a bowling alley inside it. Fun, fun, and more fun. Basically I was a single parent on vacation with four kids. But that beats being a single parent at home. We went to the pool every day, saw Monsters v.s. Aliens, went bowling a couple of times and spent time at the arcade. Cael became a pro at skeeball. We went to the hot tub at night and watched movies in our hotel room. Dad had a free moment and took us to watch the water show at the Bellagio Hotel on the strip. My favorite part of the trip was laying by the pool reading a book and listening to 80's music. We all had a wonderful time and the kids can't wait to go back.







We came home Saturday night. The next day was Easter Sunday. We had a wonderful Easter! Here are a few pictures of the kids with their Easter baskets. We spent the afternoon with family and the kids had fun finding easter eggs with cousins.












SPRING BREAK!!! We were home for three days and then headed down to St. George for spring break. Tom had a conference at the Holiday Inn. My sister Lacey is in the Dental Hygiene program at Dixie College. We were able to spend some time with her. We did lots of swimming and went shopping for summer clothes. We met my friend Sue at the water park on Main Street and let the kids play while we caught up. Sue and I went to Dixie together and even lived next door to each other while we were pregnant with our oldest children. It was so good to see her and her kids. The kids warmed up to each other quickly and had a good time. I also was able to see my friend Shaquel. It was great to see her again. We went hiking up by the Dixie rock and spent some time in Snow Canyon.
