Spring Break

Yes, we just got back from vacation AGAIN. It was Spring Break, can you blame us?! So here comes another blog/picturefest. We spent the week in St. George at Richard & Connie's (THANK YOU!!!!). Brook and Melissa came and stayed with us. When they got there, Jordyn was so confused, she asked me why we moved again! So I told her it was Rylan's Nana's house, after a while she came up to me and said "your Nana sure has a good lookin house". It was so nice to have a place to stay where we could keep food, play games, swim, and put the kids to bed early (yes even on vacation 8:00 is pushing it!) It was such a great week, we didn't want to come home. The kids swam about 80% of the time. I think our kids would live in water if they could.
Rylan had to wear Jordyn's pink goggles.




It was a little bit chilly the first day, but that didn't bother the kids



We also got in some relaxing movie time mostly at the condo, but we did go to the theater room and watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (it was a lot more scary than I remember--sorry kiddos)





We were able to get in some soccer and basketball



And lots of games of Old Maid (the best part was, all the kids wanted to end up with the Old Maid-sounds good to me!)



Our friends, the Battys and the Leiters, were also down there. The Leiters came and went swimming with us one day, but they were all too sunburned to come back the next day. We went with them to dinner at Samurai 21, we had a hispanic chef (which I thought was a little strange for a Japanese steakhouse).



One day we went on a little hike by Leeds with the Battys. It was about a 20 minute hike, which was perfect for the kids. There were water pools and waterfalls. It was awesome!


Jordyn makes friends everywhere she goes (literally!)




In this picture Jordyn was letting Dee use her cell phone, but first he had to put hand sanitizer on!



How cute is this picture--now how can he say that he doesn't want a little girl!



One of my favorite things was Jordyn's blessing on the food,I wish I could remember all of it-but some of my favorite parts were "please bless us that we know that dreams come true" and "that we know that monsters aren't real". I could barely keep from laughing (and the prayer lasted about 5 minutes)


We had such a good time, but now it is really back to reality...bummer!
