12 Year Anniversary

 12 Year Anniversary!  Time flies when you are having fun!  Jeremy and I celebrated our anniversary by heading back up to northern Utah and dropping the kids off at my mom's house and then heading to downtown SLC.  We stayed downtown and spent time walking around City Center and the Gateway, saw the movie Blended, and ate at The Blue Iguana (where Elder Oaks sat behind us...you can see him in the picture behind Jeremy).  The next day we were a bit ambitious and went on a 50 mile bike ride, which was beautiful and tiring.  We rode our bikes from Legacy Parkway up to Todd and Ashley's and Sheryl and Nick's house to surprise them.  Yep...we're crazy!  After that we showered up, then walked around temple square and took pictures of the temple we were married in 12 years ealier!  We even toured the top of the conference building and ate at our traditional Olive Garden.  It was a wonderful anniversary and I am so grateful I married my best friend and soul mate!

 

Cedar City

 It's starting to warm up here in St. George, so we decided to head up to Cedar City and spend the day playing at a park in the canyon.  We roasted hot dogs, played football, and roasted marshmallows.  And Bryce made a little girlfriend that followed him all over.  

And on another note....Bryce can now ride a bike!  Yep...he's amazing!

Baseball

 My two baseball stars.  We loved watching these two handsome boys play baseball this spring.  They did awesome and each hit the ball when they would come up to bat and were so proud of themselves.  It was fun to see their confidence grow as they mastered a new skill and now they can't get enough!

Trip to Utah

 Jeremy and I made a quick trip to Utah so that I could work a shift at my old job and keep up my nursing license.  We had a great time spending time with my family and celebrating Tanner and Ella's birthdays.  I also made a stop to see my Grandma and Jeremy's parents.  We have such an awesome family.  I really miss seeing them every week and am grateful I am still able to drive and visit them.  

Childrens Museum

We went to the awesome Childrens Museum in St. George for a school fieldtrip.  The boys loved it and I was impressed at how many fun things they could do there.  It was broken up into different sections where the children could learn about different machines or jobs.  Their was a farm room, a knight room, a music room, a desert room, an airport and car shop, a mailroom, a fireman station,a supermarket, and a science experiment and wheelchair room.  The kids had a great time exploring, dressing up, and learning. 

Volunteering at the Ironman

 Jeremy and Michael volunteered at the bike and first aid station today at the Ironman 70.3 race.  It was a great experience for Michael and he though it was awesome watching all the bikers race by.  This evening they threw a big dinner and celebration for all the volunteers that helped with the race.  Jeremy and I now think that we need to compete in this race someday...if only my knee would cooperate with me!  The racers are amazing.  Time for me to get back to my workout regimen. 

Rodeo

 We took Bryce and Juliet to their first rodeo.  The kids had a great time watching the barrel races and the cowboys and girls try to rope the goats and bulls.  I always feel so bad for the poor animals.  They even had a rabbit chase and Michael and Bryce won a dollar which they quickly spent on cotton candy.  They are both now convinced that we need to buy a horse and keep it in the garage so they can ride it.  If only!
