Easter in St. George

This year we spent Easter weekend in St. George!

Holden had spring break and was out of school the whole week, so of course we were all sick for most of the week. We luckily got better in time for a trip to St. George. Holden and Greta had fun with their cousins. Holden built a bird feeder at Home Depot, and went to a egg hunt at the pool with Harrison and Wesley.

Sunday morning he was quite grumpy and didn't even want to see what the Easter Bunny had left for them at grandma's house. So Greta got to find ALL the Easter Eggs!!!

 That afternoon Brooke and her family came over for lunch.

Here are the girl cousins, what cuties.

 And all the cousins, this is the only one you can see all their faces in, kind of.

We all had a great time, and the weather was perfect.



Snowboarding 2012

After months of trying to convince Holden to take the snowboard lessons I signed him up for he finally agreed that he would not take the lessons (luckily they let us cancel and gave me a refund) but he would go with Dad at least once this season. As predicted, as soon as he got on the slopes he did not want to leave, did great, and wanted to go again!!! 

 Greta and I came up so we could take Holden home after he got tired. Well that didn't happen, he lasted the whole 4 hours, he even went on the big hill a couple times, and was mad that he had to stop so Noah could do a couple runs on his own!
Greta really wants to go snowboarding, she was very mad that she could not go on the 'chair ride' while we were there. We told her she needs to be a little bit bigger before she can snowboard, so now she keeps telling me, that when she is bigger she can go snowboarding like mom.

We really should have taken him earlier in the season, so he could go a few more times before the resorts closed. Hopefully he will remember how much fun he had this night, and want to go next season, and hopefully it will be a better snow year next year.
