Hoover What?

For spring break we took a trip to vegas and the Hoover dam. We took the tour that takes you down into the power plant. Our tour guide was very funny, she kept saying, we don't say the "L" word here. (leaks) they say seepage instead. We also got to be in two states at once, neveda and arizona. We had awesome weather for our trip, every evening the kids would go swimming in the pool for an hour or so. They did a great job in the car, thank goodness for dvd players.

All the cousins...

We got to see my brother's kids from utah when they came for spring break. I can't believe the oldest one is graduating from high school. Way to go Emilee, that is the other Emily, if you noticed we have two in our family and they love sharing their name. Kyle is the tall one in back, he is eye level with me and only 13, wow. Thanks Kasey for driving thru the snow storm. It was fun to see everyone.

New addition to our camping family.

The girls were so excited when they finally got to meet Ellie. My best friend Taryn had baby number four on February 24th. I got to be with her from start to finish. If you can believe it i actually stayed up for more than 24 hours, that is a record i don't plan on beating any time soon. But she was worth it! Taryn got to have a water birth, which she was so excited about until we told her during hard labor that she had to get up and move to the tub. We are so excited for the clawson family and can't wait to spend more time with her this summer.

I'm innocent, I swear!

There was a court room set up in the Sheriff's museum and Kimberly wanted to be a witness. She looks guilty right?

The travelers

We spent some time in Old Town San Diego over the long week-end. Do the kids look excited about who is in the back seat? They all took turns driving the police cruiser. We also got to visit the first San Diego Mission, Kimberly had a mission project due soon and we got some great pictures and information to do her report. Thanks grandma for your help.

Steven made the tallest tower he could, he had quite an audience when he was done, the record by the way is 52'. Kimberly tried but hers kept falling down. Tiffany found a stage to perform on and she loved it. She dressed up in every outfit and did a dance on the stage, with curtain and all. Emily found a bubble section that she was mesmerized by.

Emily lost her first tooth!

 

 

She was so excited to loose her tooth. She got a ice cream sundae and loved showing any one who would look at her tiny baby tooth.
