Roadtrip!

We took a last-minute, overnight road trip to Southeastern Utah a couple of weekends ago.  It was great fun and we got to see things none of us (no, not even me) have ever seen.  I’ve always wanted to go to Moab, but as many times as we went in that general direction, it was to go to Lake Powell (not that I’m complaining in any way!) So we stayed in Blanding, hit Monument Valley National Monument first thing and then Arches National Park on the way home.  We left home at 3:00 pm Friday and got home at 11:00 pm Saturday. We all had a great time, with the possible exception of Katie who very vocally informed us of her displeasure at being strapped in the car seat any longer.    I hope we can do more fun little road trips like this one more often.

                             

Merry, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We hope you had a very merry Christmas and that your New Year is fabulous!

The Five of Us

I’ve been wanting to get updated pictures of our family and the boys but life is busy and with Zach’s broken leg, it hasn’t happened.  We were in Vernal this weekend for Connor’s baby blessing.  My cousin Aubrey took a couple of pictures for us after the meeting.  The only thing that will fit over Zach’s cast is mine or Carlos’ shorts, so that’s why he doesn’t have pants on! 

So this is the five of us before baby girl comes to make six and change things up big time!

March 2012

I think there was just a lot of randomness this month.  I don’t remember any big events.  So here’s some random.

Oh, yeah.  Austin’s preschool class went on a field trip to the Bean Museum at BYU.  I didn’t want to go, because of what they were doing – EEWWW!- but they really needed help.  I’m pretty sure my feet were on the seat and I went to the back when the snake came out.  UGH!

     

 

Enjoying the park.

 

February 2012

 

Carlos’ dad was here in February.  We had free tickets to a UVU basketball game and the boys thought that was fun.  Unfortunately for them, Carlos and I get bored way too fast at games like that, so we didn’t stay the whole game.

 

Valentine’s Day included decorations, yummy heart-shaped, coconut flavored cake ball treats, pink heart-shaped pancakes and a dinner of take-out Peruvian food for the family.

 

Though there wasn’t much snow last year, the boys did get a couple of snowmen built.  Too bad there was some kid that kept knocking it down (same kid, no idea who).  The boys were pretty sad when that happened and I was pretty mad.

 

I also had my DC Trip in February. 

Here are a couple of other cute random photos from the month.  Yes, my kids have carrots in their hands.
