Hiking and S'mores

Last weekend we went hiking for the first time this year. Its suppose to be spring, but Utah hasn't caught on to that yet. We took Simon out for a quick hike (if you can even call it that....after finding hives all over Simon's body and calling by brother-in-law to find out what I could give him, we didn't have much time before diner). So we headed out our front door and walked straight up towards the state park that is right in our backyard (well its not our house, but you know the one we are living in at the moment). It was fun to just get outside and Simon love it. I'm excited for lots of hiking and camping trips this summer (seeing how we did none of that last summer).











After dinner, we made s'mores on the campfire that my brother-in-law and his sons built in their yard. We also played soccer while waiting for the s'mores to cook and it was so much fun to get out and play. I'm sad that we don't have the ocean close by, but you can't beat hiking straight from your house and a yard big enough to play a good game of soccer in (okay maybe it was the neighbors side yard....but with no fences, its all the same)!

Bowling

Went bowling for family night this past Monday with Andrew's brother and family and some of his wife's family who were in town for Easter/Conference weekend. I have never been to a more old-school (aka. small town) bowling alley in my life. Its awesome! I guess we are just lucky that there is even a bowling alley in town.

Oh and the reason Simon has on a blue shirt in one picture and not in the others is because in typical Simon fashion, he threw-up all over himself, me, and the bowling alley. Also, Simon is not screaming because he's upset, he screams when he gets excited (which happen a lot).

Easter 2010

We had an indoor easter egg hunt cause, lucky us, it has snowed A TON the night before and was still slightly snowing all day long. Felt like Christmas not Easter. Its so much fun to live close to so much family and for Simon to be near a lot of his cousins. I grew up close to some of my cousins and I want the same for Simon. Simon's cousin, Jenner, was nice enough to share all the eggs he found with Simon. Simon was interested mostly in all the people around and in playing with the eggs.

The next day we watched conference and had a great Easter dinner with family (no pics). It was a great weekend even if it was a "White Easter". Sadly I don't have any pictures of Simon with his Easter basket (or at least not on this computer, might have a cell phone pic), but he did get an awesome basket from the Easter Bunny.
