winter winter winter

Well, to say that everyone in Utah is sick of winter is an understatement.  Thank goodness we've had some warmer days and spring is on the horizon.  But just because it's been gloomy outside doesn't mean that we didn't have any fun!  I had to throw this one in because who can resist that cute little face?  She was one of my sneaky helpers to go decorate daddy's car at the park and ride for Valentine's.  Bet his carpool was surprised!

 Here's my 3 little Valentine's with their stash.....

 And guess what Trav got for Valentine's?

 So this isn't the best picture in the world but I remember going through all of the pictures when I was pregnant with Kate and there was only one picture of me pregnant, and it's me with a Darth Vader mask on.  So, since I'm always the picture taker and hardly ever the picture inner, I had Josh take a picture of me so when this baby is born he will know that he has a loving mother, and not just a Darth Vader mom.  So this is me at 33 weeks.

 I did take the kids to the last free zoo day of the season with my sister.  It was a much needed outing and the kids had a great time.  We love cousins!  Here's a bunch of monkey's...

 A ride on the merry-go-round....

 Josh was pretending to be the polar bear....

 Kate had the appropriate glasses on for the zoo....

 Then last weekend we decided to go on a family hike.  We just went up a little canyon in Layton.  We'll have to try it again after the snow's gone.  It was really nice and SO good to be out in the fresh air, not this smoggy stuff we've been breathing.

 Mr. Handsome....

 Here's who was bringing up the tail...

 The 3 musketeers...

 Josh was an awesome trail leader.  It's not easy hiking in the snow but they all did great.

I can't believe that in a few short weeks we'll have another one!  Here's to a happy spring and to April babies!!!
