Spring Break 2013

We decided to take a couple days and head to Arches and Goblin Valley this spring!  Winter has been too long and too cold and we needed a break!  We had lots of fun hiking and making discoveries! We have a few spider monkeys in our family!!

Reaching the top!

Maurie and Buddy- Goblin Valley was full of wonder for these two!

Old habits die hard!!

"Rainbow rock" according to Buddy!

Spring Break

Happy days at the ZOO!

Grace certainly enjoyed the carousel!

Fun to go with family! Thanks!

"Cheese"/"Kimchi"

We went to the Korean Festival at BYU last week!  We had a fun time playing Korean games and then topping it off with BYU ice cream!!

A few of our favorite things!

Dad! During FHE or scriptures or a movie, this is usually the end result!

Buddy has learned how to do puzzles the past couple of months! He has probably done this puzzle at least a hundred times!!

I added this for Buddy! He is obsessed with Lightning! He races this car around the house and we have had to super glue the tires back on many times! Lets hope he lasts for a little longer!!

Chelsea is one of our favorite things that we look forward to every day!

Maurie turns 5!!!

Maurie loved the gifts and she especially loved the birthday cards! She has a thing for cards and she keeps them in a special place in her room!

Ninja anyone!! The influence of boys is great!

Maurie loved the red velvet cake from Grandma and Grandpa Hartman!

Christmas

So I didn't get very many pictures of Christmas this year. Instead we have some fun video!

We were able to spend our morning with Grandma and Grandpa Hartman and our friend Bomi from Korea! We had a wonderful morning full of presents, breakfast and memories! 

After Santa, before kiddos. A magical silence!

Buddy and Maurie got some cute pretend food. They are having fun making pizza and cookies!

Best Day!

We were excited to pick up Bomi at the airport today!  She is from Korea and will stay with us for a few days until she moves into her apartment.  We spent the afternoon at Temple Square showing her the sites!

Maurie was lost in a dream as she watched the "princesses" getting their wedding pictures taken.

The lights were beautiful!

Bomi is amazing and we already love her to bits!

Gingerbread Houses

Grandma made beautiful princess dresses for the girls!

Picture time!

My old neighbor took these pictures for us! These are just a few snapshots of my awesome kids!!

Trouble and Snow!

To think I was one foot away (with my back turned) from this little stink as I was rolling out breadsticks!  I must be clueless!!

Smug

It's the smile that keeps me out of trouble!

Time of his life!

Watch Out!

Who's who?

Josh wants to send this picture into Lego Magazine with his creation!

I have been trying to get this "cheese" on camera for a while now!

We Love Halloween!!

Maurie's preschool program filled with songs and poems!

Only Star Wars nerds would know who this guy is!  Josh reminded me about every other day this month that I needed to get this costume done it time for Halloween! Phew, mission complete!

Ready to go!!  Yoda, monkey, zombie, and Kit Fisto!

Trick-or-Treating with our neighbor friends!
