SPRING BREAK

Julie and I decided to go to St George for a few days while the kids were on spring break. Jordan had already gone to California with his friend, justin and family. He had a great time - went to six flags, sea world, laguna beach and went to see 'wicked' - which he thought was fantastic (what a jammy dodger!!!)

We all drove down in jub's van - thank goodness she has tv in there - never really heard a peep from jax or lauren - eyes glued to the tv for almost the whole trip down. Madi was a great help with millie too - and so julie and i had a bit of piece and quiet apart from the two of us belting out carrie underwood and celine dion songs ( i think we could be the next american idol!!)

We had a great time just hanging out at the pool, laughing, eating and simply relaxing. Reed joined us on tuesday afternoon and then on wednesday we took a trip to Zions - we had to take a slight detour because millie had an explosion (if you know what i mean) - we had to head back to hurricane to buy her some new clothes - poor thing! Once we got to Zions it was incredible - Reed and i had been there before with madi and jordy so this was the first time for lauren and julie and the kids. it's truly an amazing place.

Emerald Pools

We did a couple of hikes, one to the emerald pools - We had an encounter with a little lizard who was peacefuly taking a nap - of course my girls were oogiling over how cute he was and wanted jax to see - he thought it was cute also - that is until he decided to move - then he was totally "freaked" out - the rest of the hike we had to assure him that he was simply going off for a nap - infact it was naptime for all the snakes and lizards & they wouldn't be out til nightime - i don't think he bought it - he is so cute & such a crackup!
Reed carried millie in the back pack on that hike and the next - riverside walk - she never made a sound and took a couple of naps - a few times i wished i could crawl in a backpack on his back too! we had a great time - can't wait to go again - when the lizards are taking a nap of course!

We also took a drive up Kolob Canyon - Here are a couple of pictures at the top.
