Happy Easter

Waiting for our turn at the Easter egg hunt on the base. It was really cold!

OK, we got an egg! Now we can say we did an Easter egg hunt.
But don't forget to get a photo with the Easter Bunny before you go home!

Sunday after church Stephen found his Easter basket filled with goodies.

On a warm sunny day we'll try blowing bubbles on the front porch.

After Easter brunch at the club we played outside with one of the new balls from the Easter Bunny.

Road Trip!

A week ago Don's cousin and his family flew out to see us and we drove down to Moab, UT - Arches National Park. We loved our time with them and the beautiful sights. As we read about the geology and history of the land we all concluded that God had made an amazing place for us to enjoy and see a glimps of His glory!

We hiked to Delicate Arch - the icon of the state.



Ron, Trinity, Don and Stephen under Delicate Arch.

Stephen slept in the sling on the hike down.

The next day we drove even further south to Monument Valley. This is a Navajo Reservation in Arizona.

Ron bought Marjorie a beautiful necklace.

Do you remember in Forest Gump when he's running with a crowd following him and he decided to stop? This is the back drop to that scene.

Back to Arches National Park to see a few more things before we head north.

Stephen loved the chance to climb around under Pine Arch.

Saturday with Daddy

Don is getting back into his radio control model airplanes since we moved. Stephen thinks that anything Daddy does is cool and Don calls him his little helper. When the weather gets nice we'll go watch the planes fly.

Snack Time

He uses the chip to eat the sour cream and leaves the chips.

Family Time

Head butt with Uncle Chris

Giggles with Christopher

Cousins! Christopher, Dylan and Stephen

Stephen loved running around with the boys.

I wish we lived closer to them and could see each other more often.

Grandad

What can I say? This is priceless!

Nana's house

Stephen loves his Nana so much. He often brings his favorite toys to her or just sits right next to her on the bed. When they are not in the same room together he goes looking for her. We are really enjoying our visit.

Sunny and Cold

All the snow is gone in our front yard. The last time it snowed more than a few inches we made a snowman. It fell over and melted and this is what is left...

Salt Flats

The weather was pretty clear today so we decided to drive around the south side of the Great Salt Lake to see the salt flats and Bonneville Speedway. We also ended up driving to Nevada since we were just a few miles away. We found one rather large and strange tree along the way.

Shoes!

One of Stephen's first words was shoes. He loves them! Recently he's been putting on our big shoes and walking around. Look at how proud and happy he is. We are so blessed with this little boy and he so happy.

Other words he's been saying:

cat, hot, socks, eye, Daddy, car, ball

Words that he can say with sign language:

more, eat, thirsty, all done, help

Virginia

A few weeks ago Stephen and I traveled to Virginia to see our family.
