MARCH MADNESS!

We went down to St. George for the weekend to support the boys in the March Madness Baseball Tournament! It was nice and warm, and perfect weather for a few or a lot of Baseball games. Mitchell and Kade had a great tournament and both of their teams did very well. Mitchell hit his first ever homerun and had a smile from ear to ear. The next day Kade was able to hit a homerun and he too had that same grin from ear to ear.
Sadie was a trooper through the MANY, MANY games and we treated her to swimming in the swimming pool at the hotel each night after all the games were over for the day. It is so fun to see the boys play with their teams and have such a great time while doing what they love.














We always love St. George. You always can count on spring weather in March. The kids LOVE to see their cousins, and we were able to swim with them and they even came to watch a game, which was so cool for my boys. The kids could not leave St. George without doing a little hiking on the red rocks. That is always a highlight with our trips.

They both play on great teams and we are proud of them and how hard each of them worked. JOB WELL DONE BOYS! I am sure there are many more games for ALL of us in the FUTURE~ Bring it ON!

1st BIG SNOW STORM of 2012!





A few weeks ago we woke up to Kade telling his dad that we needed to wake up and break out the Snowblower. We have had a very mild winter and Scott and I have not really been complaining about it. Well, this storm was a doozie and we definitely needed the snowblower. There were 3 foot drifts in our driveway. All the kids were excited and headed out doors before school even started. They were such great sports, Scott even got out the Ranger and took them on rides around the neighborhood.

Sadies' Note to Kade

Sadie was mad at Kade a few weeks ago. We could not find her. She had made a hiding spot for herself and hid there for 1/2 hour. Finally she came out. Later on when I was cleaning up, I found her hut with a note attached.


The note said: You can not come in If you do you will have to give me 6 dollars KADE!

It gave us all a good laugh. Sometimes we all need a little hiding spot to call our very own!

Sunny Cancun Mexico


Scott had yet another business trip and we were fortunate enough to go. We were excited to get out of the cold and enjoy some beautiful, SUNNY weather in Cancun Mexico.

This was the view from the pool. We spent many of the days, relaxing by the pool and enjoying the view of the beach behind. It was wonderful and we DID NOT GET SICK OF IT.

This is just one of the many, many big Iguanas we saw while on our Book Of Mormon Tour in the Tulum Mayan Ruins.

A picture of the Mayan Temple from our fishing boat while we were snorkeling.

Our tour Guide, Helaman, from Helaman Tours took this wonderful picture with the temple and the ocean in the background.

This is a fresh, water senote that we jumped in to freshen up and clean off all the salt water from the ocean after snorkeling. It was refreshing, clear and such a beautiful clear green color. Scott loved every minute of this.

Scott swimming and relaxing in the senote.

On our way snorkeling and our little fishing boat. Lacy, John, Scott and Natalie. We were able to see a lot of underwater life, the water was pretty ruff that day, so we were glad to be back on the ground when it was all said and done.

These were some of the old fishing boats they take for deep sea fishing.

Scott and I enjoying our time together in Mexico!

Scott had to do a little business on his business trip. I caught him working from the pool a handful of times. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
We had a fabulous time and we really were able to slow down, relax and enjoy each others company.
Gracias, Cancun, Until next time!
