Easter Weekend

We traveled south for the weekend. The warm weather was perfect. First to St. George for Thursday night and Friday morning meetings that Justin was in charge of. The kids and I stayed at the Abby Inn. We swam and watched a Disney movie. It was spring break and lots of people were in town for baseball tournaments.

Porter gave the girls at the pool some excitement. Our room window was just above the pool deck. I was on the phone with Cindy, bathing the boys, and had just gotten Brody to nap. Porter is out of the tub and into the window yelling "Hi everybody." Lots of people were laughing. Including Cindy on the other end of the phone. I was hollering "get out of the window, he's naked, shut the window." Cindy thought that a naked guy was outside of our window and I was trying to get the boys to hurry and shut the window. Good laugh!

We drove on to Phoenix for Saturday and Sunday. We have spent six of our Easters in Idaho with Justin's family and the last few in Utah so it was fun for the kids to have some fun outdoors in the sunshine with the cousins.

We went to Lisa's house for a Saturday pizza party and egg hunt in the park by her house. We also celebrated five March birthdays, Justin, Christian, Carly, Emma, and Brody.

Sunday we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa, Hayden, Katie, and Spencer and his girlfriend Robin. First time to meet Robin and Blake is already giving great big hugs. We spent the evening in Marana, Az. with Great Grandma Liljenquist. We celebrated her having electricity. She had it installed last week. Grandma has lived for 2 years without it. She used a generator for everything. That is not an easy thing, hence the celebration. The kids and their dads and Grandpa tromped around the desert looking at cactus and rabbits and hoping not to see rattlesnakes. We sat around a fire and sang our family song. Dad told some funny childhood stories. About a baby fox he found as a boy. He hid it in his closet and it jumped out at Grandma when she opened the door.

Shawn and Cari brought out their newborn baby girl, Riley. She was so little and cute. She was born last Monday.

Now we are back and Spring is coming to Utah...finally.
