Spring Break Part 2

The rest of Spring Break was spent down in Saint George with the family!

Hiking the red rock and exploring caves with Nana and Papa!

Having a very uplifting conversation at dinner!! ha ha

Running around with Finn and Jude and some kid we didn't know! ;)

Puzzle time in the condo!

Lots of swimming!

Enjoying some relaxing moments on the deck!

Eating at the Painted Pony... YUM!

Running into and swimming with our buddy Zac!

Park time with Finn!

One more sleepover with Finn and more puzzles!

Meditating brothers, ha ha!

Playing tag in the condo!

Dumpster diving for Papa's lost keys... so sanitary!!

We got the exciting phone call at 3:30 in the morning (the night we drove home from Saint George, of course!!) that Tyler was coming into the world and so we hopped right into the car at 4:00 a.m. with Hayden and my dad in the other seat. Needless to say, we were all super grumpy but excited for Tyler by the time we arrived in California for his delivery!

This will always be a memorable Spring Break because it will always remind us of Tyler's birth. We are so, so blessed to have his sweet spirit in our family!!

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!

Spring Break Part 1

We had a very fun Spring Break, mostly spent with our family!

We went to Get Air and loved every minute of it with our cousins and Grandma!

Hayden got invited to his first sleepover with his cousin Finn. He asked me to pack some pictures for him of Kyle and me because he said, "I am going to miss you so much!"He decided to pack a picture book full of pictures so that he could look at "all of our fun"!

Kubla enjoying the view!

The day after his first sleepover he took a super long nap in the car!! :)

We made a visit to the living planet aquarium with Nana... our favorite place!

We also enjoyed a movie/video game day with just mommy and Hayden!! It was a super fun stay-cation!

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!
