Spring Break: Part 3

 On Tuesday, we headed in to see the Tabernacle.  Well, next to the Tabernacle is town square.  The have this splash pad that the kids could play in the water.  Here is Tayson and Ember at the center of town square.

 They had a merry go round and so the kids wanted to go on it.  Brice wouldn't go on it because he would get sick, so I got to go on it.  I was pretty dizzy when I got off.  Its hard to tell, but Tayson is on the outside then Ember and then me.

 This picture is of the outside of the Tabernacle. 

 This is the inside.  We had a tour and it was quite interesting to learn more about it.  They still use it today and have all sorts of things going on.

 This is the staircase that is not held up my any posts.  It was quite the staircase to climb, and we even got the picture with poppie going up them.

 After the Tabernacle, they had this old fashioned store across the street that had ice cream.  So here we are enjoying the ice cream. 

 This is the area in town square where the kids could play in the water.  We didn't know it was a splash pad until we got there, so they didn't have their swimsuits.  It didn't stop them from playing in the water!

 Here is dad with Tayson and Ember at the splash pad.

I had to get a picture with them to.  And yes, I have long pants on and a jacket.  My temperature is not the same as the kids!!

Spring Break: Part 2

 After letting the kids swim on Monday morning for a few hours, we dragged them out of the pool and went to the St. George Temple.  It is gorgeous!  Brice isn't in the picture because someone had to take it!

 I love this shot.  You can see Tayson and Ember walking up to it.

 This is after we walked threw the visitor's center.  I love his smile.  We went inside and sat down in front of a statue of the Savior.  We listened to the recording and after it was done, Ember looked at me and said mom Jesus wants to give us a hug.  I loved that she said that.  And its true, Jesus is always there to give us a hug and tell us to keep on trying and that everything will be okay.

 My two little blessings..

 This picture turned out great!

 I had to put one of Brice up.  He was there, he just had the camera the whole time.

 This is in front of the Temple.

 This is another of my favorites!

 After the Temple we went to see Brigham Young's winter home.  You could call him the first snowbird!!  We had a tour and it was quite interesting.  Brice took a ton of pictures of the inside, but there were to many to put up.  I may put some up later and have it be its own post.  Here me and Ember are looking at all the trees that surround the home.

 This is the front of the house, but you enter on the North side.

Tayson was doing all kinds of poses!!  We had a good time here.

Spring Break: Part 1

 For this year's spring break, Brice decided we needed a little vacation.  I thought it was a good idea to and so we settled on St. George.  We left Sunday afternoon and arrived a little before six.  Of course when you go on vacation and get a hotel, it has to have a pool.  We made the kids eat some dinner and then we took them to swim that night.  Ember was in seventh heaven.  The girl has been wearing her swimsuit since December, so she was more than ready to swim.  Here she is with her daddy.

 The pictures are a little backwards, but that's okay.  This is actually on Monday.  I got in the pool, I know its hard to believe. 

 Here is my little fish.  He could have just swam the whole time we were there. 

 Here is Gramby and Poppie looking on.  Anyone was welcome on our little vacation and so they decided to come.  We were glad to have them!!

 Ember is sitting in the hot tub.  She would dip her feet in and then go back to the big pool.

I rarely get in the pool and I rarely let anyone take a picture while in the pool, but for blog purposes I took the picture and I even smiled.

Easter Egg Hunt

 We had our first annual Easter Egg Hunt at my mom and dad's this year.  The ones the city have gets so crazy we decided to have our own.  Here is Ember finding an egg.  It didn't rain on us, but it was so cold.

 Chad is helping out Brock by finding his eggs!!

 Here is Brock at the hunt.  He looked so cute in his little outfit.  The wind was a bit cold so he went inside and let dad hunt for them.

 Here is Kelsie looking for eggs.

 I love Maddy's face in this one!!

 Ember would not open her eyes for this picture.

 Hayden was so cute to watch.  He is waiting for dad to open the egg.

 After the hunt we had a little barbeque.  The kids had to pull out the tractors and wiggle cars.  They didn't last long it was so cold outside.

This picture was supposed to be at the top, but it ended up at the bottom.  This isTayson all ready to go find eggs.  We had a lot of fun and I am glad that it worked out that everyone was able to come.  I am truly thankful for Easter and to remember what the Savior so willingly did for us.
