Spring Break 2011

For the kids Spring Break we decided
to take our very first "Family Vacation"
On Thursday we left early in the morning
for the long drive to Bryce Canyon.

One of our many "I need to pee" breaks
happened at Big Rock Candy Mountain.
The kids were a little bummed that it
really wasn't a mountain of candy!


The tunnel in Red Canyon right before Bryce's!


The boys were really glad to get out of the
Tahoe and do some hiking. Even thought it was
a little chilly!


Our family at some of the look outs at Bryce
Canyon National Park!


Beautiful Scenery!


They made sure to hang on to their hats when
the big gusts of wind came by!




There was only one really short hike open due
to the snow they still had and the mud from it
melting!We didn't go all the way down in but
far enough!


As we left Bryce Canyon we had to stop at the
famous picture spot!


The huge tunnel as we entered Zions National
Park on the second day!

Kaylee hated the tunnel...she cried the whole
way through and yelled "SCARY!!"


The look from the road below at one of the
window's inside the tunnel.


The lower Emerald Pool that we hiked to.


The waterfalls were very amazing and
different, each one.


Taking a break during our 2.6 mile round trip hike!


This was the upper emerald pool...the turn
around point of the trail.


At the last stop in Zion's Canyon this chipmunk
wanted the boys to feed it..... they had seen the
signs that said if they did it was a $100 fine so
they made sure not to drop anything....

So it decided to go to Sam. The kids thought it
would climb up his leg!


Another beautiful waterfall


The boys loved the wildlife. You would think
they had never seen a turkey before as
excited as they were.


Ranger Sally, swearing the kids in as Junior
Ranger's of Zions National Park


Leaving Zions!


On Day 3 we headed for the long
trek back to Fairview. We made many
stops along our way! We had so much fun
on our trip and the kids are already
planning the next one!

Here we are again!

One more tournament post before the boys wrestle
at their state tournament on April 9th in Salina!
The boys are doing good and trying hard to do their
very best!

Kasey getting ready to put his opponent in the
cradle. He loves this move. He takes after Uncle
Kevin!


Kaleb had some tough kids again at this tournament
but did really good with them. I think the word
"Aggression" finally might be kicking in!


Karson's matches always make me laugh!
He is either trying to scare the kids with his
looks (like below), or has a huge grin on his
face!


The boys with their medals and their little
cheerleader, Kaylee.



Good Luck at State boys! We are very proud
of you!

Pinewood Derby

Kaleb loves scouts and looks forward
to the pinewood derby! He had a hard
time deciding how to paint his car! He
finally decided on the "General Lee"!



Kaleb's car was awesome! He took 1st in 3 of his
4 heats! I loved this picture of the boys waiting
for their cars to come down the track!


Kaleb took 2nd place over all! He was pretty
excited!


Kaleb and Sam


They have already been talking about
the plans for the next derby!

Karson turn 5!

Karson our little leprechaun in 5! I can hardly
believe it! He had a great birthday! We had
a little party with a couple of the kids from his
preschool class and primary class! I must say
it was the calmest most fun "friend birthday
party" I have ever done!


Playing a little Duck, Duck, Goose!


The party goers!


Karson's cake


We went to Nephi the Sunday after for a good BBQ
and Cake with the Worwood family!

He is growing up so fast! Happy Birthday Buddy!

More Wreslting!

Even little Kaylee has her own Team Takedown
outfit! I made her a blue and orange TuTu and
matching bows and a shirt! She is such a trooper
to go sit through all these tournaments for
her brothers! Good thing the coaches little boy
and her get along!


Even though the picture is a little dark...it looks
so awesome to look down and see our team all
together in their orange and blue warming up!


Karson has finally caught on to wrestling and
what he is suppose to do!


Kasey is going to be a lot like his Uncle Kevin,
and the cradle is his favorite move!


Kaleb had a tough tournament this day but it
doesn't stop him from trying!


Karson and his first Gold Medal in Gunnison!


Kasey thinks he is pretty hot stuff
taking first place!


Kaleb took 4th in Gunnison!


Kasey pinning his kid at North Sanpete! He took
second at this tournament!


Karson aka "Little Jimmy" given it to his opponent!
He got another gold medal in North Sanpete!


Kaleb sure gave it his all! 3rd place not too shabby!

Nothing Fancy!

These pictures are all just snapshots that
have really no rhyme or reason! Most are
from my cell phone so not the best either!

Kaylee is such a mother and has to have
a baby doll with her most of the time. I
caught her the other day reading
to her baby!


Kaylee is so crazy! On Valentines day we went
to Prove and took the kids to Chuck O Rama!
Kaylee was not into eating but would sit on
the back of the seats and show off! She is crazy!


Kasey and his dad chillin at the hospital waiting
for news on what was going on with him!


Karson's mom must dress him funny! Or he
has one heck of an imagination!


Kaylee is always good for a smile!
