Quick camping trip

On Friday Brent was able to take off a few hours early and we decided to take advantage of the super warm weather and go camping. We always are excited for camping in the mountains but being so early in the year we decide to stay low enough to not freeze our bums off. We ended up at Gunlock Reservoir and it was honestly not the most scenic place but it was warm. It was funny after we got camp set up we just looked at each other and tried to figure out what to do next...Life has been to crowded lately and it took a minute for us to be able to relax once we got the chance. The highlight of Gunlock was that it was pretty isolated so the girls could wander and explore (and we still could see them for a long ways because of the lack of trees) and we weren't too worried. Brent also tried to teach them how to skip rocks but really the just preferred the bigger rocks making huge splashes. The girls of course got into the marshmallow roasting-they are my children after all. And it was amazing to see all the stars once it was dark. In the morning Brent made fabulous dutch oven omlet action for breakfast while we stayed inside and stayed warm. It was such a fun no stress outing that I can't wait for more all summer!

Taryn said to Cami-You be Alicia and I will be Diego and we will go rescue...I don't know what they found to rescue but it was fun to watch. Go Diego Go!

Spring Fling

Last weekend our friends from Las Vegas came and hung out. It was really fun. Friday the kids played hard and had a sleep over all in one room...although for one little lady (Taryn) sleep was slooooow to come. Saturday we "scootered" and "biked" a river trail that ends in a park. The kids did really good getting all the way there and back. Later that day the moms went shopping and Brent watched all the kids...good man that he is. It was really fun just to hang out and relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Taryn REALLY can pedal but she goes SOOOO fast just scooting that she could take down a full grown adult....it is a sight to behold!

Taryn "helping" Cami - this does make steering a little rough...

Playing with the Cousins

The first weekend of March the Lutze's came down to St George and brought cold weather and fun (notice we all wore jackets...and needed them). Rachel had a soccer tournament and it was really fun to watch the games. She is in a competitive league and the girls are getting enough mad skills that it was easy to really get into. We also went on a "hike" along one of the river trails and found some cool petrified wood and "caves" and rocks to climb on. We really enjoyed the weekend and the girls LOVED being with the cousins. Thanks Lutze's for hanging out!
