Congratulations!!!

Congrats to Laura and Josh Park who are new parents to their second son! She had him this afternoon and mom and baby are both doing great! He is 3 weeks early at 6lbs 1oz. I believe they are naming him Jason. (:

Catch up time...

To start, two weeks ago my little sister Erika came into town with her friend Brady. They only stayed for a day, just long enough to take a flight to the Grand Canyon with Owen.

(Cute Kodi at the airport while dropping off Erika and Brady.)

While Erika and Brady were on their helicopter ride, I took the kids for some ice cream and some play time at the park.

When we went to pick up Erika and Brady after their helicopter ride, Owen had Rylee and Bo help clean up the Helicopter and of course Bo had to practice his mad flying skills! lol

We have made several trips to Arizona trying to find some kind of rental with no luck yet. We are moving at the end of May, but have no idea what we are going as far as places to live. Owen is leaving me on the 3rd of May to start work by the 4th and will be gone for his 31st birthday and our 5 year anniversary. ): Hopefully he will find somewhere for us to live!

We went to the Sand Dunes in Utah this last weekend with Owen's family. We go every year around this exact time. We had fun, it just rained a lot and got really cold.

-Owen's adorable parents! Aren't they cute? (;
We had an "after Easter" Easter egg hunt for all the kids. The kids loved it!

This nasty little guy was found on our niece Ashlyn while she was playing in the sand. It didn't get a chance to sting her, thank goodness! My Father in law Jeff sure had fun grossing everyone out showing it off tho! (:

"Tenting"

Rylee has been dying for us to go "tenting" for a very long time now. Owen took Monday off and we headed to Valley of Fire with our friends Trenton, Natasha and Natasha's two brothers. The weather was PERFECT. There was slight over cast that made it so we didn't cook and at night it was warm enough to sleep with a light blanket. There was little wind and did I mention it was perfect?!? We went four wheeling, hiked and target practiced with my .22 and the kids BB guns. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable two days!
