Zion Vacation

Last weekend we were able to go on a vacation to Zion National Park with the Reading clan.  It was so great to be able to go on vacation and enjoy the beautiful scenery down there.

Natalie had been very excited for the past few weeks go to hiking.

Natalie was such a good sport and wanted to stay longer and hike more.

Cinco Fun

On Cinco de Mayo we had delicious food and fun with the Reading side.

It was funny to watch Natalie whack the pinata.  She would get this angry/aggressive look and just beat it as hard as she could.

Even after the candy was out, Natalie wanted to continue to whack the pinata.

Food, family, and fun...you can never go wrong!

Mama Paparazzi

We got nice new camera a couple months ago and have been learning how to take good pictures with it.  Whenever I play around with the camera, there is usually just one subject home so she has her picture taken a lot.  She doesn't mind it too much, but sometimes she will run away or hide her face.  She is still fun to get pictures of.  Here are just a few samples.

I love our new camera and hopefully I can someday take good pictures like the Lewis families do!

Easter Weekend Fun

On the Saturday before Easter we were able to go to an extended Lewis family gathering and also have an Easter egg hunt.  Natalie came home with a TON of candy!

Natalie had lots of fun playing with cousins...

jumping on the trampoline...

and going down a huge zipline.

(Yet again being our little daredevil!)

The Easter Bunny came and visited Natalie.  He left a little trail behind along with some poop too!  Then he took a drink from our milk and his carrot breath made the milk go orange.

Then on Easter Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Lewis' for dinner and for another little Easter egg hunt.

Snow Much Fun

The other week when we had a couple of good snow storms, we took advantage of them and played a lot in the snow.

Natalie and I built a snowman in our yard.

Then on a Saturday we went sledding as a family along with Jeff and Keri's family at Murray Park.  Natalie had so much fun!

She is our little daring and adventurous girl.  It didn't matter how steep the hill was, she loved it.  After each ride she would either say, "Again, again" or "I do/go by myself."  (And yes, that is my daring little girl going down all by herself!)

We had "snow" much fun!

Leap Day

Since it is a rare occasion when Leap Day happens I wanted to do something fun and unique.

Unicorns are also rare and unique...

So, Natalie and I chose to make Unicorn Poop!

Delicious!!!
