Nana and PopPop

PopPop and Nana came to visit for a couple days and spend some time with the kids.  We always love having them here and my kids don't understand why they just don't move next door to us.  We had a great time boating and my dad still got up and skied no problem and we had fun walking around Navaho Lake and playing baseball with the boys.  We love you PopPop and Nana!

Juliet's Joy School

 Juliet had such a fun time at Joy School this year.  There were 5 other cute little kids in her class and they learned all about their ABC's, numbers, colors, shapes, and so on.  She also took some fun field trips to Star Nursery, the fire station, Brick Oven, the library, and even Little Ceasers.  She made some good friends and loved coming home and showing me her art projects she made.

 

We love boating

 Yay...it is finally warm enough that we can take our boat out and play in the water!  It is definitely a lot of work for us with four little kids and a little overwhelming, but once we are out on the lake we have a great time.  Jer and I were able to ski and wakeboard and we are hoping to get our kids out tubing soon.  I hope this becomes a fun family activity where we can escape the world and spend time together!

More Hiking Fun

 Yes...more pictures of our adventures.  The kids love hiking and we enjoy being outside so we are always on the lookout for new hikes.  We found a hike to an old airplane directing arrow and then we took the kids to Quail Hallow to throw rocks in the lake.  I love living in a place where we can be outside all year long!

Standing

 My sweet little Hailey is already standing at 9 months!!!  How is she growing so fast.  She is such a sweet, happy baby and brings so much joy to our family.  All the kids adore her and she loves to be held by all of them.  She has taken one step so far, but I am not in a hurry for her to walk.  Take your time baby girl!!!

Hiking and Fishing

 We love to spend time hiking together as a family.  When the weather is nice we hike all over Washington, Hurricane, and St. George.  Here are some pictures of some of our favorite hikes.  The boys also like to go fish with Jeremy at Grandpa's pond and we like to have smores and hot dogs up at Kolob Reservoir.  Our family really enjoys being outside together and exploring nature.  The sunshine seems to make us happier!
