Utah Trip - May

In May, we went to Utah to see Trevor off on his mission to New Zealand. We had lots of fun, but forgot to get out the camera during that leg of the trip. On the way home, we stopped at our other Grandma & Grandpa's house in Beaver for a grand adventure. Lindsey, Lauren & Emma drove down from Salt Lake City to join us (but we missed Jeff who had to work).


We all piled in Grandpa's suburban and headed into the "wilds" of Beaver.


The first stop was looking for deer. (As I remember, we stopped in the driveway of a vacant house and got out in the back yard to look around...)


Grandpa pointed out some interesting things to us...


and we pointed out some things to Grandpa.


We found a fun caterpillar.


We all made friends with the caterpillar.


Even Emma liked her new friend.


Then we made another friend (by stopping at his house to look at deer).



He helped us look at deer and had a package of crackers handy to feed the deer. He even had names for all the deer. But I'm not sure we caught his name.



Then it was off to see the peacocks. These lived on someone's farm. Not quite sure whether it was "open" to the public or not?


We had lots of fun crawling up on the fence to look at all the peacocks.

The peacocks put on quite a show for us.

Thanks for such a fun trip!!!

First Steps

This is from the phone camera so it's not great, but she sure is cute!

Swimming Fun

Ready for the first swim of the summer (well, we tried before, but it was just too cold!)

The Double-Cannon Ball is our favorite!

Two little fishies...

Even Lexi and her spoon enjoyed the water.

Spring Piano Recital

We didn't practice quite as much as we should have, but the boys still did a great job. Hopefully you can hear the music on these videos.

Joshua plays "Switch Engine"

Sam plays "Brahm's Lullaby"

The kids get their certificates.
