Spring Break

Justin's spring break was actually pretty adventurous this year. On Friday we headed down to St. George so that we could be to my grandma's 90th birthday party on Saturday. Since we had never been to the St. George temple, we decided we would get up Saturday morning and go. Bagle and Christi joined us and it was pretty fun. Then we went to grandma's b-day party, ate, looked at some pictures that were pretty humerous. Actually, it was really fun to see pictures of us that we had never seen but it was even more fun to read the captions by some of them. Oh grandma... Then we stopped by Neilson's to get frozen custard before we headed out to California. Mmmm... custard....

We were about 100 miles away from Matt and Laurie's house when Koy had decided he was not going to sleep or be good in the car seat anymore. However, due to some quick thinking, I hit the play button on my phone and handed it to him. The annoying sample songs kept him entertained and when I reached back to snap a picture of him, this is what I found... It was fun to stay w/Matt and Laurie and be to Paige's blessing. We had a great time in Cali and Justin even went and hung out with the Vet in Laurie's ward one day. I think he had a good time. Also, we went hot tubbing and then Justin got the idea to jump in their un-heated pool. Yeah, freeze ya to death. I was kind of a chicken, but after you got in and your heart skipped a few beats, you were ok.

Koy and Paige. (I think he's pinching her? J/k.)

On the way home we stopped and stayed a night in Vegas. The main reason we go to Vegas is to see Danny and Chels. (Thanks for always letting us bombard you!)

Danny, Justin and their kiddo's watching the "water dance."

And after we watched the fountains at the Belagio, we headed home. We stopped in St. George at grandma's to bathe Koy and get more custard. Seriously, you can't pass up the opportunity to get custard. We didn't get home until a little after 3 am, which is insanely late but it was a lot easier on Koy. He slept the whole way from St. George! Wahoo! We really had a good trip and it was so nice to be in the warmth and sunshine! I am half tempted to move there, but it may be a little to0 hot for us in the summers, so I guess Laurie will just have to move back to Utah!

Yay I'm the first to comment!! :) That was such a fun trip! I'm glad we got to share those memories together! I still wonder what that sea creature is...it was creepy! You should have touched it! Thanks for wading in the ocean with me! I like your pictures from the trip, the ones of Paige and Koy are so cute! You're welcome for the sand dunes pics...it's the least I could do! You're awesome Sherrie!

I love the pics with Koy and Paige awake and then in the next one they're asleep. So cute! Koy is getting so big! Paige said she misses him and wants him to come play.
