Happy Easter!
We had a fun time at our grocery store,
Macey's, making bunny ears and hunting
for Easter eggs.

The kids also had a great time hunting for

eggs with their cousins and then watching

the first session of General Conference.

We went to the next three sessions at the Conference

Center in Salt Lake (Megan, Joshua, and Kimberly took

turns going with Eddie - one to each session).

We had a great time staying over at a hotel and

swimming in the pool there between and after

Conference sessions on Saturday.

Then the kids enjoyed a week of for Spring Break,

so we rented an RV and went to Cedar City on Thursday

where Eddie had a Conference, then went on to Zion's

National Park for a couple of days.

We couldn't resist a picture under the "Carter Carillon"

at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, where Eddie

presented a paper at his Conference - it was the first

time we all got to watch one of his presentations.

We enjoyed hiking up to the three Emerald

Pools in Zion's, and going under the waterfalls

you can sort of see behind us.

Joshua made it first to the highest

Emeral Pool and waterfall.

There is a squirrel you can barely see on the fence

near Megan. The squirrels were very friendly on

our hike to the Narrows (which were closed, but

we just enjoyed a beautiful hike).

We enjoyed stopping by the river. Zachary found

a good hiking stick close by.

We met up with some of our cousins that morning

and enjoyed hiking with them.

Joshua hiked all the way to the top

of Angel's Landing - we were praying

hard for him below!

Megan with her cousin at the Weeping Wall.

The kids found a nice frog near our campsite - icky!

We enjoyed campfires with our cousins' family.

We enjoyed playing with this cute cousin at our

house, who I think looks a lot like Joshua:)

Megan after a gymnastics performance.

Zachary after his last soccer game - he

scored a goal! (he isn't excited about

taking a picture, though)

We had a fun FHE activity going to Cabela's - their

fish are fun to see!

Megan is face to face with a curious fish.

There were fun animal exhibits to see, too.

We all had fun shooting at different targets there.

We enjoyed Eddie's cousin's art exhibit at BYU -

she is talented! She just graduated and sold her

first painting for $600.
