April 2011

Our little cutie! Emma was 7 months old in April, said
"dada" and "mama", razzes her tongue, and laughs
a lot in her cute little way.


On April 2nd we had snow!

It snowed a lot in the mountains this month, so

Joshua and Eddie skiied a few times.


Eddie took Joshua, Megan, and Zachary

camping in Goblin Valley. They camped in a

tent and were a little cold! Emma was sick,

so I stayed home with her.



Dixon Middle School had an 80th anniversary.

They let us tour the basement at Dixon - this

is a boiler room where stories say students have

been locked in and died.

Joshua found Pop-Pop's picture in an old yearbook!

BYU made a new trail and stream and had a

rubber duckie race along it. Canyon joined us

for it, since he was staying with us until his

apartment opened up.

Joshua and Canyon had lots of fun rock climbing at

the Quarry and also going to Provo Beach Resort to

try surfing!



Provo Beach Resort also had a carousel.

I took Megan, Zachary and Emma to Lava Hot Springs

to join Stephanie and her kids and Pop-Pop there during

Spring Break. It was a little cold outside, but the water

felt great! Here's where some old hot pots were.

After BYU finals, Eddie took us all on an RV trip to
Goblin Valley, Natural Bridges National Monument,
the Goosenecks, and Valley of the Gods.
Goblin Valley (twice in one month for some people!)

Megan and Joshua found a deep cave that had

a time capsule in it!

At Natural Bridges National Monument


Camping in our RV in Bluff

The Goosenecks

The Valley of the Gods - Eddie took Joshua, Megan,

and Zachary on a bike ride there.

I hiked with Emma during the bike ride.

We made it back from our trip in time for Easter -
Eddie, Kimberly, Joshua, and Megan all gave talks!
It was Joshua's and Megan's first time talking in
Sacrament Meeting, and they did great! Thanks to
Pop-Pop and Canyon for coming to see us there!
Emma loved our Easter egg hunt!

One of my friends came down for Women's Conference

at BYU, and her husband set up a surprise 40th birthday

party at our house with other friends who could make it.

Emma is just too cute in this outfit Kirk and Jodi

gave her - thank you!


Happy Birthday, Pop-Pop!

Snow again on April 30th!!

This time it got on our trampoline we'd set up.

March 2011

Emma is starting to eat a little rice cereal and
vegetables - she likes her new booster seat.


We enjoyed a cousin's baptism!


We had a fun time at the BYU Bean Museum with some cousins!

Zachary did not have a good time at the dentist -
he had to get a couple cavities filled for the first time!

Eddie took Megan with him and some BYU
students to California to see some schools and
the International Folk dancers.

Joshua and Megan had a nice Spring Concert!

We enjoyed touring the Carl Bloch exhibit at the
BYU Art Museum with some cousins.


Joshua turned 14 years old!


He loves brownies better than cake, so I made
him these brownies, but then put the candles in
too soon, and they melted until they were really short!


Uncle Canyon is back from his mission - this is
his first time seeing Emma!


The kids had fun climbing at the Quarry - Joshua
went a couple times there and once to a place in Sandy.
Joshua and Canyon will have a lot of fun climbing outside
when the weather gets better!


Joshua and Eddie went skiing with Canyon at Alta.


Emma loves her new exersaucer!



This was us watching the final BYU basketball
game with Grandma and Canyon - too bad they lost!
Emma was even wearing her BYU cheerleader outfit!

Megan got braces! Yikes! She's cute, though!


Emma just loves eating her toes!


Isn't this outfit so cute? Thanks, Amy!


This is Emma's nursery.

Zachary had fun at his first soccer game - he

has a lot of friends he knows on the team - fun!
