Spring Break, the Drive to Page Arizona

We left pretty early to make it to the Manti Temple open house. I have always loved the Manti Temple. It was fun to show the kids where we were married. We even got to show them the exact sealing room! My parents, and their parents were also sealed in this temple. 

Then we headed toward Page Arizona, on our way we stopped at the Belly of the Dragon. This was a fun stop. Then stopped at the Moqui Sand Caves, this hike was a little bit harder, and a little more sketchy to get to. We would recommend both hikes, they were fun.

Mike has always been about enjoying the journey. He likes to make long car rides interesting. He succeeded this trip, all of our stops were great!

March

March means lacrosse season! Wes played in a tournament up in Logan in a blizzard! Jaycee made the Northridge team. For tryouts this year the coach made the girls do the impossible mile. Me and Mike called it the miserable mile. They had to 1 lap  around the track of lunges, 1 lap of burpees, 1 lap of bear crawls, the last lap was running. That was it, if you could finish that you made the team.  Jaycee has played well. We told her we would buy her a passport if she scored 15 goals this season, so she is working on it. 

We went to the Jazz game for Jr Jazz night. Everyone wore their jerseys, and made signs. The kids always love going to games.

Bensen had his 4th grade rendezvous, he kept the tradition alive and sold soap.

Last, but not least, Happy Easter! 

 

Happy Valentines! and Stuff

The rest of February was pretty busy. They boys both played basketball and Jaycee season was still going. We went to the PTA skate night for a little bit, then we had to run to a game. In my opinion Bensen pick the best Valentines box! He actually wanted to do the Reese's truck again, but it is broken, and I didn't really want to make another one. We came up with a better idea and 3d printed some stuff for his box, I think it turned out great, and he loved it! Mike is a little worried I am going to turn him into a weirdo. Nothing wrong with being a little weird! And who doesn't believe in Bigfoot, Nessie and Aliens? We did all the traditions, breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa Baileys, Heart pizza with fancy drinks for dinner. Jaycee had a game so she didn't get dinner with us.

 

St. George

Jaycee got asked to play in the 7 Elite tournament in St. George with her old comp team. So we decide to make a vacation out of it. Every year we are excited to escape the cold for a weekend...every year it is so cold! Jaycee's team played great, but came up short in the championship game. This was a fun tournament to watch! As a bonus we went to the Red Cliff's Temple open house. The kids loved it, Vivian and Jaycee say it is their favorite temple. Viv loved the chandeliers. Even though it was cold we did get outside a little, we had lunch at a fun park with a pond and ducks it was next to a little farm that had a donkey the kids could pet. The kids loved the house we stayed in, it had a fun little pirate ship with a ball pit.
