St. George

Loved our visit to St. George. A lot of the time we spent lounging around the pool. But we also had a great time hiking and taking in the beautiful scenery. I was able to catch up with a great friend, Katie, from high school. I wish I had pics, but it was neat to see her and her cute family.We also made new friends with two awesome families that were staying in the same condo complex and they came with us to Pioneer Park, which is where this first group of pics were taken.

Our Sunday evening at the temple.

This hike was fabulous, perfect for little kids. It was only 1 mile round trip and so beautiful. I highly recommend going it's at the Red Cliffs rec. area.



Double digits

I can't believe this boy is 10 already! He is growing up way too much. He is maturing everyday and turning into a great young man. He has really taken on a lot of responsibility, he has 3 calves he bottle feeds twice a day and he also has a pig he is raising for 4H. He is a great helper and big brother.He tells me everyday how happy he is that Luke is in our family. He is also a very kind friend. We love you Dallin, so much!

And what is this? It is Yoda's swamp of course. This cake morphed several times before its final identity was determined. It may not be Ben's most "beautiful" cake but the whole thing was made from scratch. It is a green velvet cake, and he even made chocolate ice cream with pecans and walnuts in it!

Goblin Valley

 Ben is such an awesome dad. He took the three older kids camping in April in Goblin Valley, and they all had a blast.
