Canyon Lands National Park

This year for Easter weekend we went to Canyonlands National Park

After living in Green River for 23 years of my life, I can honestly say that I have never been to this part of the park. We have been to Dead Horse Point a few times, but never ventured into Canyon Lands.

This isn't the best family picture, but here we all are.

For some reason on these trips with my parents, Kylie always finds a tree to pose by.

Zach just had to show grandma the crack in the rock.

Easter Egg Decorating and Egg Hunt 2011

For some reason it took me awhile to get the rest of April around to getting posted.

Here are some pictures of the kids decorating eggs at Gma & Gpa P's house.

This was Zach's first year of really trying by himself and he did a pretty good job. He just wanted all the eggs that he colored to be GREEN!

Tryin to be careful. You can see the egg getting ready to make a big plop into the color cup.

Kylie is getting to be quite the pro. This year she tried making some that were two colored instead of just one.

Lookin for eggs in the backyard.

Grandpa wanted to mow the lawn, and we had to make him wait until they got all the eggs out of the way.

Zachary found some hidden under the porch.

Workin together!

I am not quite sure what this face was for.

Sand Dunes - Easter Weekend

While we were on our four wheeler ride, we found the sand dunes so we got out and played for a little bit. Zach wanted to play with the toys that the kids packed.

Kylie immediately grabbed one of the sleds and started heading up the hill.

She wasn't quite sure what to do so I decided that I better be a trooper and hike up there and go with her.

Lets just say that I was not going down the hill very well.

Zach decided after a little while that he wanted to go up to. But when it came time to going on the slide he decided it didn't look to great after all.

My mom even made the little (not so little) hike up the hill..

When it came time to rolling the eggs down the hill Greg and Kylie decided that it would be funner to throw them.

And then take a hike up a little ways.

Kylie actually kept hiking for a little ways and got quite far.

I didn't get a picture, because it was too hard to see her.

Then as we were getting ready to leave, my dad and Zach were going up a couple of little hills, and my dad got stuck. But, Zach sure had the biggest smile on his face every time he came up that hill.

Four Wheeler Ridin - Easter Weekend

Over the Easter/Spring Break we went down to Green River to spend some time with my mom and dad.

On Friday they took us out for a four wheeler ride to a small patch of sand dunes, and along the way on the ride we saw this geyser just out in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't very high, but kind of cool to see.

Greg came with us too, as his little family was in Canada visiting with Heather's dad and mom.

Zach was so excited to be riding the four wheelers. He even rode with Uncle Greg for a little while.

Kylie rode with her dad!

Thanks for a fun day!

The Rabbit Romp Exchange

Wendy over at Craft Goodies was hosting a Rabbit Romp and I decided to participate.

The rules were that you had to include a rabbit in your craft.

I decided to make my partner Terry from Cherished Treasures, an Easter sign, with some bunnies to go on the side. I also found her a fun little Easter notepad and a chocolate bunny.

I hope that she liked them, because I had fun making them!

Easter Saturday 2010

On Easter Saturday we usually get
together with my mom and dad and
take a four wheeler ride into a small
section of sand dunes just outside of
Green River. This year we decided
that we wanted to do something a
little different, so we loaded up the car
with a picnic lunch and headed out.
We ended up driving towards Moab, UT,
crazy I know since this is the time of
year when all of the jeeps are out
at the jeep safari. Anyway the traffic wasn't
too bad and we ended up driving through
Arches National Park. We got out and hiked
a little so that we could get closer to some of the
arches. Here are a few pictures that we took
while we were there.

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

This year for Easter we are in Green River. Last year we started having an Easter Egg hunt with
the grandkids that were here, and we just had to do one again this year. My kids love being able
to go and look for eggs in Grandpa and Grandma's back yard.
Zack on the look out for some eggs. He was funny to watch because he would step right over the top of some if he saw one that was a little ways away.

Easter 2010 Decorating Eggs

Kylie loves to decorate Easter Eggs.


Zach even tried coloring on a few this year.
