Hiking in the merry month of May

In May we went on several walks/hikes in preparation for an upcoming "Pioneer Trek" we are going on with our church.  The kids never complained and were bounding up the mountain a lot faster than I was! We had a great time and loved every excursion. 

The perfect ending to a perfect day, S'mores!

April recap

April was a busy month for us. Easter was at the end of March, followed by General Conference, Spring Break (which included a visit to the LA Zoo and Travel Town) and then a birthday every week!  My parents also came to town for many of the events.  In between all the events there was also a lot of sickness in our family, ear infections, colds and other things, too. Since the birthdays will always fall in April, we're going to have to figure out how to keep the stress level down throughout the years whenever it gets to April!

  

 My dad pointed out that my daughter and I were matching one day.
