Spring Pictures 2014

I have been so bad about getting the kids pictures taken.  I cannot believe that it has actually been since 2011 that they had them done.  Time just seems to always get away.

Easter Time!

We had a fun filled Easter Weekend.  We went to South Jordan Park for an Easter Egg hunt which was a bit tricky because they divided the kids into ages and of course that put us in 3 different groups.  Fortunately we had Austin with us so we were able to each take a kiddo to their designated area.

After the Easter Egg hunt the kids still wanted to play so we went to a little park near the neighborhood.

Easter seemed to approach us pretty quickly and we didn't even have our eggs colored until late the night before.  Of course it is a tradition you don't want to slip by, well maybe we as parents do but not so much the kiddos.  Hahaha!  The little kids loved it but of course we had to convince the teenager that it was fun to color eggs.  I guess it kind of loses something when you're too cool for things like this.  He was a sport and even though he won't admit it he enjoyed it.

         Of course, Gabe did a Charlie Brown egg!                                           Awe. so sweet!

The kids went to bed right after.  They woke up early the next morning and followed the trail of candy from their bedroom doors to their Easter baskets.

Gabe woke up before anyone and followed the trail downstairs checking out his Easter basket before any of us even woke up.  Because of this, I was lacking in the pictures as it was a bit chaotic.

Daddy gave Sebastian & Abby tattoos :)

We also had Easter dinner at our house followed by some games.

4th Of July Fun!

We had a great family day for the 4th of July.   First we went to the West Jordan parade.  It was so hot and so bright, fortunately there was a Walgreens right behind us and we were able to run in and buy some umbrella's.

The kids had fun watching the motorcycles and low rider cars...

I love the way Abby is sitting back in her chair here...

This picture shows Sebastian's tough attitude perfectly!

After the parade was over we headed up to Snowbird Ski Resort for the day to do some fun summer activities.  We started out on the trampolines.  It was quite a long wait in line but the kids did pretty good being patient.

After that it was time to go play on the Alpine Slide...

Riding the chairlift to the top..

We took the kids on the Mountain Glider, Gabe was a little unsure at first as we flew through the sky backward to the top of the hill.  Once we reached the top and started flying down the hill, he loved it!

We then took a Peruvian chairlift to the top and walked around up there for a little bit.  Huge chairlift, long ride.  Daddyo rode with Sebastian on the way up while I rode with the other 3.  Then Gabe and Sebastian switched for the ride down.

Austin took Sebastian in the tunnel that goes through the mountain.  It was so chilly in there.

Can't believe how big my Austin is getting!  He is one good lookin' kid!

As we were leaving we noticed that we were driving by "Austin Pond" so of course we pulled over and I made the poor kid go stand by the pond so I could get a picture of Austin standing by Austin Pond.  He was very reluctant.  LOL!

Abby had so much fun today, she wore herself out!

Love my family!
