We had such a great time with Nate's family in St George over Spring Break. It was so much fun to be all together. We are especially thankful for Nate's parents for being such great hosts and putting up with the overwhelming noise of 8 children!
Some of the highlights:
-Swimming at the beautiful Entrada pool. The kids could have spent the whole week there. Lola and Izzy practiced routines and swim strokes, the boys dove for torpedos and played ping pong. Stella loved running back and forth from the water to the beach chair.
-Goofing off at the park. It was all fun and games getting ourselves dizzy until Jacks got really sick. He spent the rest of the night recovering.
-watching Miles entertain himself during Sunday morning conference by writing words out of crayons
-Freezing at Zion National Park. . . but enjoying the beautiful views despite the rain and cold
I love Stella's little head poking around her dad. She loves getting her picture taken!
-Checking out the shoe tree
-Climbing all over the rocks in Snow Canyon. Stella didn't want to be left out and was so cute trying to follow her siblings.
-Going on pretty Snow Canyon hikes
-Watching the boys team up in the quest to catch a lizard. They spent a whole night making a 'lizard habitat' and then worked together on a strategy to catch one. I loved watching them work together. The best part was the looks on their faces when they caught their lizard. . . they were so proud!
We had such a great trip and were so sad when Wednesday rolled around and it was time to go home.

What a fun, fun weekend! That picture of Miles and Jackson with their lizard is so dang cute. You can just tell they are so totally thrilled. And you got the swimsuit you wanted! Yay! Your kids all look like such good buddies in all these pictures. It is so cute. And I'm a bit jealous of your fun in the sun-especially on this snowy day!

Wow, Stella is a smiler! I don't think there's a single picture in this post where she isn't totally smiling. What a happy baby!
