The Grand Canyon

About six months ago, our bishop challenged every family to read the Book of Mormon before our next General Conference. Well, thanks to Jake and Jonah's desire to read almost every day, we got it done last Wednesday. I am so proud of our family for finishing it, especially before the boys get baptized Saturday. To celebrate (and to get out of town), we headed for a quick 30-hour trip to the Grand Canyon. It was amazing. Truly a sight to be seen! Crazy dangerous though! There are so few rails and walls, you can literally walk right off the side. At one point Mae said, "Owie Mommy", holding up her hand where I was holding it too tight. : )

Spring Break

Spring Break started a little early for us when the Fontano's came into town for their spring break and the boys missed a couple days of school. It's one of the first times I played tourist in my own city taking the kids to the Ethel M chocolate factory and the Mirage Secret Garden. Of course a trip to Chuck E Cheese's, lots of jumping on the trampoline, and way too many of Nana's cookies were in order too.










Last week, Samantha was baptized and it was great to have the whole family together. It's amazing that Traci's youngest got baptized and even crazier that the twins will get baptized next week! That same day, all the cousins got to attend the Summerlin Egg Hunt which my mom, dad, and Traci worked at. Kim got to stay an extra few days and all the kids had a great time together.





There's a couple more fun events, but I'm going to give them their own due post...

Fish

Just had to give our fish some props for staying alive for over 13 months now! What goldfish stay alive over a year? My dad asks everytime he comes over, "Are those the same fish?" They are, I can't believe it either. I find it hilarious I've spent probably over $100 on two goldfish that cost me $7 total. Keep on truckin' Goldie and Cinderella!
