Another TEEN!

This sweet girl turned 13!  She is awesome in so many ways!  Funny, smart, talented, silly, sweet, responsible and beautiful.  I love being her mom!

Her birthday was on "hump day"
which was absolutely perfect for this year!

Her awesome friends decorated her locker
and another friend played Happy Birthday
to her on his trumpet!

Where in the World is Ben Now?

He's back to traveling the world.  Ben was in Mexico City and Montreal, Canada last month.  This month he'll be in Germany and Las Vegas and Reno and in May he'll visit Mexico again and Florida.  Although I miss him when he goes, he is in his element.  He loves to travel, even if it's for work...

Luxurious flight arrangements
It kinda looks like he's in the hospital.

Typical uppity team dinner
that lasts way too long

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!
