Our Utah Tour Part 1

We were in Utah for three weeks and had so much fun. I have a ton of pictures so I am going to break it up and put a little up every few days. We started the adventure off with Devin's college friends and their families. The wives and kids stayed at my dad's while the guys did a crazy 20ish hour canyoneering trip in Zion. The ending repel was over 500 feet long... yikes! They were too fast and were done before we got up there to see them repel. So we played in the river with the little ones for a while...

Kinley loved this little water fall, no fear!


Zion is so beautiful, I suggest everyones gets there at some point!


Grandpa and Kasen


MMMM everything in the mouth

This was an everyday activity, thanks Grandpa for keeping them safe!

Three little ones only a month apart from eachother, they were so cute playing!!

I was so proud, matching hairdos for the girls


This was a big deal! Kaya lost her first tooth and the next night she lost her second one. She is so excited!


Fun times with friends


We see this face often around here


Kaya's last day of preschool, I can't believe she will be in Kindergarten next year! This is her very favorite teacher and her best friend Kendra

THIS

makes the hard days all worth it...



They truly are best buddies and I pray the continue to be so.... and include their little sister too :)

Kinley turns ONE!

I can hardly believe it has been one year since Kinley was born, wow what a super fast year! It feels both freeing and sad to see her turn one. She has been such a joy and we feel so blessed to have her a part of our family. We had a fun birthday celebration/dedication on her birthday. Thanks to all who made her turning one special!

Here is a slide show of her last year and a few birthday moments as well...

Easter 2010

We spent Easter in 10-mile wash (just outside Moab) this year with my cousin Tina, her husband Trace and their kids Kamree, Kade, Ashton and Averee. We had a blast riding 4-wheelers, motorcycles, rhinos and RZR's. I loved loved loved spending time with my cousin and having our kiddos play and play together. It was a fun time and a great way to spend Easter this year!

St. Patty's Day and 1st day of Spring

My mom loved the holidays and always made a big deal out of them, so I try to do something as well (with a lot of help from my aunt Mindy who always send packages for the kids with fun shirts and other fun holiday stuff, thanks aunt Minnie :)).

The kids left a shoe outside their bedroom door and the leprechaun came that night and filled it with surprises. He also made us green pancake batter and turned all the milk green, crazy leprechaun! The Saturday before Colorado Springs has a St. Patty's day parade, it was a beautiful day and the kids love it!

March 20th is the first day of spring, we spent it playing in the snow! That's one way to start the spring I guess. It is also my moms birthday. We miss her very much and often wish she was here to celebrate her special day! But we are grateful to celebrate Nana Marsh's birthday! We love you (she is my mom's twin)

Crested Butte 2010

We get to go to Crested Butte each winter and it is always so much fun! Devin's brother and wife live there and they treat us very well!! The kids had so much fun this year, two days of skiing and they couldn't get enough. They caught on a lot faster this year so it made it fun. Devin and I didn't even go ski on our own because it was so much fun to watch them. It is always nice to spend time with Dusty and Annie. Dick and Deta are amazing, they watched Kinley the whole time so we could ski with the older two! We are spoiled for sure!! Here are some pics and video of our fun time!

I want to live near a ski resort so we can do this more then once a year!!
