Spring Break

So we were really ready to get a little sunshine in for our spring break...so we headed south. First to St. George for a night, then Mesquite, NV for a night. Then back to St. George to go to Red Cliffs, then home. We had a great time in Mesquite...swimming, bowling and a movie. We then went to Red Cliffs which is one of our favorite places to go. It is absolutely beautiful. It is just about 10 minutes northwest of St. George. Pictures can not do this place justice. There is all these waterfalls you can slide down into little pools of water. There are also places to do cliff jumping. You can hike forever there too. It is soo pretty! The weather was wonderful, but the water was FREEZING! Seriously hypothermic in a matter of minutes! We braved the cold water and had a blast! Hooray for spring break! Hooray summer break is next!!

FINALLY!!

FINALLY!!!! Tyson has lost tooth #2. He has not been very patient waiting for this, and I do not blame him. Tooth #1 came out a year ago December. Thats right....15 months ago!! If every tooth he loses is a year and a half apart...he might drive me crazy through this process! All his friends have lost at least 5 teeth...so he was getting pretty anxious. Finally tonight after this tooth being loose for 2 mos...it came out. He is thrilled! Here is his goofy grin to show it! I was thinking it is quite considerate of him to let the tooth fairy have a little time to "save" up (15 mos. in between visits!!) Never mind..here is the note he insisted I write for the toothfairy. So much for giving the tooth fairy a $ break! Hope he's not disapointed in the morning. YIKES!

Amazing Gracie

Brian says I need help. I am totally addicted to this blog of a sweet little girl named Gracie. I am blaming it on Heather and Brenda who got me addicted in the first place.I don't know her family, but somehow I feel connected. Gracie is 2 weeks old and fighting a congenital heart defect. Maybe thats where the connection is for me? Been there, done that. She has almost passed on a few times, but is currently improving. She is here in SLC at Primary Childrens. Her story is one of faith and testimony building. It makes me so grateful for the health that I enjoy and more importantly, the health of my children. Life is fragile, but our Heavenly Father is aware of our struggles, and comforts us when in need. I hope your faith can increase as mine has from this sweet family I have never met, yet feel so close to. I know first hand how faith and prayers can heal. If you feel like a good cry, or a renewal in faith and prayers, check it out. I am so thankful for my healthy family, and am constantly praying for those who need our prayers right now.
