Zion National Park

We had a really great trip to Zion this week...here are a bunch of photos, now it's off to bed for me, so I will have to write about our trip after I get some sleep!

A Work in Progress

We finally got inspired to keep working on the corner of the backyard where the bottlebrush tree used to be. Last weekend, Jared got the remaining stump dug out of the ground, and we decided to try out a small deck in that space instead of just filling it in with pavers. The boards aren't really installed yet, but I couldn't help just laying them out to get a sense of what it will look like. It is a small space, but I think there will be enough room for at least a bench and a little table, maybe a bench swing or something like that someday. Or maybe a playhouse for the kids? We might try to make it a little bigger and round out the shape a little bit, or we might just leave it square. It will be fun to have a nice, clean, usable corner there now--Parker says it is a "stage" where he and Levi can do performances :)

Backyard Surfers

This is Parker and Levi's favorite thing to do these days. Neither of them can get enough, and falling off is just part of the fun. Unfortunately, the two of them are  a pretty heavy load to pull together! Now we just need to transfer these skills to some waves and to a snowy hill!

Happy Easter!
