It's Been a While...

So, it's been a while since I've blogged. We've been just living life. We have a few updates for you. First, the girls had their first trip to Zion National Park last Saturday. We drove through the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel. The girls called it the "Big Daddy Tunnel" and there's one more smaller tunnel by the Checkerboard Mesa. The girls called that one the "Baby Tunnel" and they wouldn't stop talking about the tunnels for days! We'll have to go back again soon.





The thing that prompted the Zion's trip was a hospital work party for my mom and her NICU coworkers. Her friend at work owns the CliffRose Inn in Springdale. It was supposed to be a swim party at the pool, but with lightning brewing we only got to swim for about 10 minutes. The girls loved playing with all the other kids, running around and screaming and looking at nature. I'd love to stay at the CliffRose. It's beautiful!





Lately, we've been playing a TON in our backyard. The girls love yogurt pops (yogurt + kiddie cup + plastic spoon + freezer = super e-z treat) and ask for them all the time. They get a little messy, but it's healthier than a sugary popsicle!

Ady loves the pink and purple

Chloe wants the pink and orange

And our craziest news..... We finally got a puppy that's worth keeping. "Pepper" joined our family a few weeks ago. She's about 3 months old and we got her from a family in our ward who's Golden Retriever female got with a rogue neighborhood Black Lab. Pepper is a great little dog - she's grown so much just in the last few weeks we've had her.

We had to get a light colored collar to have any chance of seeing her in the dark.

The girls turn THREE in July.... I can't believe it. I'm thinking we'll have to have a kid party since the girls love to play with other kids... We'll see what happens.

I've been trying to get the garden in order, and maybe even prep for a yard sale. Wish me luck!
