Oh Canada!!

We are back from an overdue trip to Canada. It was a great trip, with a week in BC with our parents and then a week in Okotoks, with my brothers' families. It was great to catch up with family and friends!! For the first time in 4 years of living in Utah, I had a hard time coming home. It was such a great visit and I really miss my family. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I live here, just wish my family was closer!!
We celebrated Canada Day, visited the zoo, went for quad and motorbike rides, rode horses, and ate tons of great food. GOOD TIMES!!

Mitchell's New Ride

This is one happy boy!!! Mitchell out-grew his dirtbike last year...he looked so cute with his knees up near his chin! So we sold his bike and bought this one last Saturday. Need less to say, he's a little eager to get out riding...and racing!

Way to go Emma!!

My baby mastered her bike tonight! She beat both her sisters at that milestone. But Mitchell still holds the family record for mastering a 2-wheeler at the age of 3. Emma is very proud of herself. It was fun to watch her practice and see Kiana and Mitchell help her. It was one of those rewarding mom moments!

Kiana's Baptism Day!

Yesterday Kiana was able to be baptized. It was a great day! After a busy and rewarding week (I was able to go to Women's Conference at BYU on Friday), it was topped off with seeing my third child baptized. What a feeling! It was a beautiful service shared with another young girl in the Ward. The talks were great with memorable lessons in them. I'm sure it was a day that Kiana will not soon forget.



Although our families were not able to be here, we have some great friends that came and supported us. It was just like having family here. We are so blessed!

My Emma..How You've Grown!

Kelti and Emma were goofing around the other day and this is what they came up with. Emma thought it was pretty cool and Kelti couldn't stop giggling!

Easter

Better late than never! Spring Break and jet-lag and my excuses, if that counts for anything. But here are some pics of our traditional Easter egg hunt. Kelti is out-growing this fun event. She informed me that this will be the last year she will participate. So sad!! Maybe it was a mood thing?! Let's hope.

Uncle D and Auntie Carmen's Wedding

My little brother finally took the plunge! Last minute it all came together and I was able to go to Mexico for the wedding. It was great to be with my family and hang out with them for a while. The wedding was beautiful and we were all just in awe over how happy and in love the bride and groom were. I have never seen Darren show so much emotion and affection...it was great!! Here's a few pics of the event...
