Hiking Y mountain

On Saturday Michael and the kids hiked Y mountain with some of their Higbee grandparents, some cousins, and aunts and uncles. My stomach is still a little woozy from the morning sickness so I stayed behind to rest and take a much flatter walk.
Her is Jonathan with his cousin. They took a break from hiking by climbing on some rocks.
The kids loved spending some quality time with Dad.
Here is the family at the top of the Y. It is not a really long hike, but it is very steep so I was proud of the kids for doing a good job. Michael even reported that there was no whining or complaining on the way up or down. The boys even hiked or jogged down without any rides from Dad or anyone else.
The grand kids posed for a picture with their grandparents after getting to the top of the Y. Michael's family is really good about making sure that pictures are taken of every event so we can have the memories to look at later.








Spring in Utah

Michael's parents came into town on Friday. They spent some time with us this past weekend. Luckily my father-in-law had a card reader and took some pictures with his camera that we were able to download onto the computer. These were taken Sunday morning and I wanted to get them posted so my parents could see the kids in their new church clothes. I think they look fantastic, but I am only a little biased.
Spring in Utah has been very slow to arrive. Sunday was in the 60s, but still cloudy. Tonight it is pouring rain and chilly. I am really looking forward to some warm sunny days and I think the kids are too.
I love each of these children and am so grateful for all they are teaching me. I have so much to learn and improve upon and they don't seem to be staying small while I try and figure it out.
