Spring Break

Sunshine, shopping, movies, bowling, hiking, hot tubbing and swimming were just the break I needed.  Thank you Angie and Ryan for another fun Spring Break!

I know, it's a terrible picture, but it's the only one
we got with my personal best score of this decade.

Though reluctant to hula hoop,
once they started they were all smiles.

Fun aunt Jenny took us on an adventure to Red Mountain

Q was a trooper!  4.6 miles roundtrip is his longest hike yet.  The girls opted out of the hike...sad.

Holly got her dog fix

Gunlock falls was pretty sweet!

Our final day was spent at the
little oasis we discovered in January.

Ended the week with a visit from these cute cousins
And GENERAL CONFERENCE!

Jr. Jazz Coach of the Year!

The Jr. Jazz program covers 7 states, includes 60,000 atheletes, and more than 6,000 coaches.  Of all of those coaches, Ben was selected as the Jr. Jazz coach of the year and was recognized tonight at the sportsmanship party.

He is now the Jazz' nominee for Jr. NBA coach of the year.  If he wins, he will get to attend the NBA awards show in July.  Crossing our fingers!

Growing older is tough.  Along with the crows feet and thinning hair comes the exhaustion and aches and pains.  This year my one desire for my birthday was to be able to sleep in.  I told the kids that if they would be quiet and let me sleep they could stay home from school.  The kids did great but my bladder had another plan.  Yes, I woke up to pee as usual in the 6am hour and couldn't get back to sleep, bummer. 

Ben and the kids showered me with love and gifts again this year.
