Finding Spring

Since Spring can't find me here, we had to go find it! (As a side note - it snowed AGAIN today). Ryan finished finals last Saturday and on Monday we headed south for some much needed sunshine and relaxation. It is great to get a way, even for a couple of days. It was WARM and BEAUTIFUL and so nice. A few highlights...

We got to wear summer clothes....

climb trees and smell the flowers.

Clark and Bella (who is doing her newest trick - a wink) They loved being outside and having fun.


Fun at the 'Sand Dunes'. The sand is really red - kinda cool. Although, all pockets and hair were filled with the super fine sand before we left.


Time for some swimming!!!

Bella liked applying her own additional sunscreen (and eating it too I guess!)

What warm adventure is complete without ice cream?

Can I go back? It really was so nice to get away and we had a fun time.

Where, Oh Where is Springtime?

This is what it looks outside my house right now (actually this was almost an hour ago - there is even more now!)...why can't spring come and STAY???Can you see the tree blossoms COVERED in snow? Why is it still cold?? Why is it still snowing hard? Clark thinks we should go sledding. I thought I wasn't going to get dragged out to do that again this year!

UPDATE:

Here was the final total:

OVER FOUR INCHES!!

Baseball Season

Clark does get representation on the blog just not for Easter! He has just started another baseball season. This year he had to tryout and everything. I hope this isn't getting too high pressure! He is getting better all the time and this year is on the Dodgers. Practice just started so our next few months will be full of baseball fun! He wanted to make sure we could see his #2!

Happy Easter

So, Bella got a really cute dress, which had a matching dress for her baby doll (adorable). And poor Clark didn't get any new clothes. Honestly, he has 3 dress shirts and a relativly new pair of pants, sweater and ties. So, I didn't take a picture of him, but he looked as handsome, as always. And Bella really doesn't have any summer dresses so she needed it.

We went to our ward Easter egg hunt on Saturday and each kid was able to get 18 eggs - all filled with multiple pieces of candy, so Bella really didn't need anymore sweets. So on Easter she got some sunglasses, toys and lipgloss. Clark got a few treats and some summer sandals. (I am holding out hope that summer will come!!) I tried to take pictures of Clark at the Easter Egg hunt but he ran off before I could even catch one. Oh well, he had a good time and got more than enough sweets!!
