March


Two red heads and a brunette attending conference together.  These three cousins went together to the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference. Some of us got there really early and the others squeaked in just in the nick of time. While we were waiting Grandpa and Paxton read some interesting facts about the Conference Center.


We took an early Spring Break and went to St. George. While we were driving we asked the boys what they would like to do and the first thing they said was to go to Dixie Rock. We quickly learned that Bennett is our family's safety officer as he pointed out many dangerous areas.

Both boys loved the swimming pool. We had great weather and small crowds so we took advantage of the pool a couple of times.  I think Paxton finally understands that opening his eyes underwater causes them to itch for hours afterwards.


Here is Bennett photo bombing a wonderful picture of Jaylene's girls. I don't think the kids understand the difference between sand and water. They would dive in the sand as if it were water.
When we got back to the vehicles we dumped out enough sand from their clothing that would fill a large sand box.  Yes Paxton enjoyed being buried that deep in the sand. Bennett too.
















How come this boat won't spin like the little tea cup ride?
The real reason we wanted to go to St. George - what beautiful girls! It was so fun to see J and have the kids play together. We all feel like we're so blessed that we are such a great fit with each other for our unique families.







This is part of a display kitchen that has us reconsidering white upper cabinets for our new home. These are all quarter-sawn oak with a natural or very light finish. They're just so charming and I love the short little pyramid details on each corner. Maybe someone can help as to what they're called, I don't even know if they are plugs or tacks that are pounded in or what.
