April 2017

We started off April with general conference. It was good to see the boys all together before Braden left for his mission later that summer. I made them stand in the pretty light for their photo this time. 



 Our spring break was to Moab, Utah. I made a large post about that. I was trying to be a fun mom for the remainder of the week so I bought canvas and paints and they boys went to town. To say that loved it was a understatement.



 Stockton loves soccer. He is my first kid to have Bryan coach a team. I honestly think Bryan liked coaching.

 Easter was a blast this year! My mother in law rented a bounce house and they kids spent a ton of time in it.

 Colton had his girl friend Shanice come down for Easter. It's the first time we met her.
 Grandma and Jake helping East. Sannette is always fun to watch during the easter egg hunt. Easton was a huge of all the candy he got.

 Our Easter egg hunt landed on Sannette and Braden's birthday this year.

 East likes to climb in bed with the boys to sing twinkle twinkle and look at the stars on their ceiling.

 Our basement usually looks like this... and East loves getting rides in his car.

Brett turned 5 this year! He got to bring treats to his friends at his preschool and we had a birthday party with a few of his friends.

 Brett McEvoy came to his birthday party at our house. We named Brett after him.

Moab Spring break

For Christmas my parents told us they were taking us on a trip to moab as a family. Along with my brother Nate and his family we stayed in a condo in Moab and spent time at Gobblin Valley and Arches national park. We loved it! It was so good to have Bryan with us as well. 

First stop was Gobblin Valley. I'm pretty sure this was a huge highlight of the trip for my boys. They could have played here for hours. It's amazing we didn't loose anyone. My dad brought some walkie talkies and we could hear Stocktons go off every once in awhile so we knew he was close. 








The next day we headed to Arches. The weather was really nice in the morning but the wind picked up later in the day. I'm so happy we made the hike to delicate arch. It was amazing and my boys will remember it forever. Truth be told since it was spring break there was people everywhere! So I had to edit a ton of people out of the photo below.



 Easton would not ride in the backpack we had for him. He FREAKED out. But he would let Bryan and my dad hold it. Stockton found some bugs on our hike and was in heaven.
 We went to a bunch of different arches. The sandstone arch was so cool but the wind was insane! In between wind gusts we hurried and grabbed a photo.



 Balancing rock
 We went to a park in town the next day for the kids to play.



 I told my mom for her birthday i would get a family photo and order her a canvas. this pitiful photo is the best we could do. Better luck next time!

The last time we went to moab Tyson was just a little guy. He LOVED balancing rock. So we had to recreate my fav photo from that trip.
