Spring Break

For our spring break we decided to take the trailer and go to Goblin Valley. We spent Saturday with Grandpa and Grandma W. having our annual easter egg hunt then left Sunday for Goblin Valley. We spent a couple of days there. We climbed on rocks for hours. Goblin Valley is a lot of fun and it's huge. There are all sorts of rock formations. To the west is a big yellow pavilion that you can see from all the high points so it's hard to get lost. Chanse and Miah are both part mountain goat and if you give them rocks to climb anywhere they are happy. So they climbed to their hearts content, from sun-up to sun-down. They played hide and seek and tag and climbed some more.







We then hiked through a slot canyon called Little Wild Horse Canyon. (Where we ran across two families from home. You can't go anywhere, far or wide, over spring break without running across someone from home.)





We had a great time!!! You'll have to join us next time!!

A New Granddaughter

Zach and Lindsay are the proud parents of Laryssa Jo Shore. She was born on March 21st. She weighed 5 lbs. 12 oz. and was 19 in. long. Zach thinks she's a cute little thing. And she is!! The long dark brown hair surprised us. I went up to see her on Sunday night. She is so little!!! It's so fun to have grandbabies!! I think I need lots more!!!

Why do little girl's grow up?

Well, Miah has reached that milestone of being on her way to becoming a teenager. On Feb. 13th they had the 6th grade Valentine's dance at school. That means a new dress!! And a little make-up (if she wants). She will also be 12 on the 28th and that means Young Women's and another new dress. Tradition .... who starts these things? Oh, guess that one was me. It's hard to believe this is the last of my 5 girls. And she should still be 3!!! By the time she leaves YW's, I will have had a girl in the YW's program for 20 years without a break!! Maybe that's why I keep finding myself back there serving. Oh well!! She's a great daughter and a sweetheart. She loves outdoor adventures and has no fear. She said she would love to skydive!!! I guess I can live with her growing up if I have to!!!

Here We Go

So here we go. Who would have thought I would ever do this? It still remains to be seen if I can keep it up to date. Don't expect any miracles!! My facebook is not going anywhere but maybe if I just have to update this and don't have to actually interact with anyone, it might happen. I love reading everyone elses. But my life doesn't have too much happening. With just two kids left, and the older ones with their own blogs. I don't have much to report. But we'll give it a try.
