Spring Break 2012


For Spring Break we headed down to St. George to be with our family.  The cousins had a sleepover and this is what they were doing...


Watching the Teen awards on Nickelodeon!


The next morning it went from that to this...



camping out in the in-door tent watching General Conference.


They are such good girls.  They are so FUN...NY!



Sydney taught Sofie to ride her bike without training wheels:)


Baseball with Papa...


Gardening with Papa...


Water fun on the tramp...


Most nights you would find Sofie on her granny's lap getting tickled and falling asleep...


They had a sleepover with Great Grandma Lewis...




There is the funnest water park right in the center of town. It is a BLAST.  I love this last photo of Preston.  He cracks me up!!!













We went to a in-door trampoline place before heading up to Cedar to see Scotlyn swim.






Wow this girl gets a work out!!!  It was impressive.  We love our Scotty.  She is growing into a beautiful young woman and it is so fun to watch these girls turn into TEENagers. 
















Hanging out at the St.George Arts Festival and enjoying all the festivities.











We had such a great time going on a picnic. The weather was so nice.  Uncle Troy threw the football and told the kids that whoever could catch it would get $5.00 and the winner was... TY TY!!!  We then played soccer and it got pretty intense.  This is a picture of my big fat toe that got really hurt...  Our kids took a beating on the field.  It was a tied ball game and we called it quits after Tylee got a ball kicked right in her face. OUCH!!!


















Easter morning going on our traditional Easter basket hunt.  The Easter Bunny got the kids a trampoline this year and they were jumping up and down.  They were so excited!



These boys spent many days hard at work in grandma and papa's back yard trying to catch lizards.  After church Preston ran out with his church clothes on and caught a lizard. He was so one happy boy!



I gave this apron to my momma for Easter:)  It fits her so perfectly.  She makes the best food ever and spends many hours in the kitchen preparing delicious meals. I am so thankful for her and the love she shows all of us through her cookin.


We went out for lunch at Pizza Factory just before leaving town.  We are so thankful to be close to our families and to share Holidays with them.  Living in Oklahoma gave us a greater appreciation for our them.
