Our Easter Getaway!

This past week was Spring Break for us so we went down south to find some warmer weather in Zion's National Park. We had a great time hiking around and spending time together as a family. It was a perfect time of year to be down there. It was a nice sunny 70 degrees most of the time and everything was budding in that pretty light green of spring.

We got one of those handy kiddie packs for Brenna to ride in when we hiked and she loved it (most of the time). She loved looking around and pointing to all the trees and water and playing with rocks. This girl loves to be outside. It was a perfect family trip for us.

We spent Easter weekend down with Brandon's family. We celebrated Grandma Georgie's birthday with all of his family. It was fun to have everyone together. We painted Easter eggs and had an Easter egg hunt. I think Brenna was more interested in being outside than in finding eggs, but she had fun and we had fun watching her and Rachel. Easter is such a great holiday, especially with little kids around. It is one of my favorite days because we get to pause and celebrate all the Savior has done for us. We also get to celebrate springtime and be with family.

Brenna's Favorite Things

It has been quite awhile since our last posting, but instead of just another update I decided to list some of Brenna's favorite things because she is so dang cute and seems to be the center of what we have been doing lately. She is getting so big. We spend a lot of time chasing her around the house and hearing her laugh. It is the best sound in the world. She loves to talk and babble all the time. She is learning new words everyday. We love her so much!!!

Brenna's Top 10 Favorite Things:

1. Her Minnie Mouse stuffed animal she calls "Ni-ni"

2. Yogart (she can't get enough of it)

3. Playing outside (bring on the good weather!)

4. Climbing up on and rocking herself in the rocking chair

5. When Daddy comes home (she runs and gives him a big hug and a kiss)

6. Necklaces and jewlery (she is a girl through and through)

7. Taking a Bath (whenever we say bath Brenna runs into the bathroom and waits for the water to turn on. She loves playing in the water)


8. Shoes (Brenna will spend hours trying to put on her own shoes. She has yet to accomplish it, but she is very determined.)

9. Kissing everything (from our cheeks to our knees, or her book or the wall or the broom, everything is loved with a kiss.)

10. Books, books and more books! (Ever since she was little Brenna has loved looking at books and she still spends most of her time with book after book.)
