HAPPY EASTER!!

Happy Birthday Madison :)

This year we were in Utah for Madison's birthday, it was the Sunday of conference. Although, she was very excited to visit grandparents and see President Hinckley for her birthday, she thought that was pretty special. The Sunday of her birthday we were at Raelyn's house and Raelyn had made a cake for her which was really nice. We watched conference and the kids played. When we got back to the hotel, Michael took the kids swimming, they loved that. When we got back home we made Madison another cake so we could take some pictures. She liked having a week long birthday :).

The girls and I painting nails.

The girls and I decided it would be fun to paint fingernails and toenails. I have to admit they did pretty good putting polish on my toes. I gave them a light color, that way it wouldn't matter if they didn't stay on the nails :).

Some of our adventures on our Utah trip.

Well, I finally got Michael to drive me and the kids down to Southern Utah. It has been almost 4 years since we have been there. We had alot of fun and saw alot of people (we didn't stop in Boise :( it seemed when we passed through it was late at night. We need an Adams Family reunion SOON..) I got to spend alot of time with my sister Kristina and her 2 super cute kids & we spent time with both sets of grandparents. It was fun to see Mom and Dad Adams' new house, very nice! We went to the St. George Temple visitors center to watch the new Joseph Smith Movie, it was very good. My parents took us all out by the white rocks out past Apple Valley to ride the 4 wheelers, that was super fun, the kids had a blast. We all got sunburnt, we are not used to all that sun, it forgets to shine sometimes up here in Oregon. We also had a potluck picnic at the park in Hurricane, we saw alot of relatives, everyone is just growing up sooooo fast, it was super great seeing everyone that was there and catching up on what everyone has been up to and seeing their kids, that was one of the highlights of our trip. The weekend of General Conference we went up to Salt Lake, so we could go to Conference. We were able to go to the Sat. afternoon session, it was a really neat experience, President Hinckley didn't talk at that session, but it was still neat to be able to see him. We really enjoyed it. That evening my dad, Newell, Michael and Braxton went to the Priesthood session, they all really enjoyed that as well, hopefully, we will be able to go again.

Michael, Braxton, Landon, and Madison. All the years that Michael and I grew up and lived in Utah neither one of us had been to the Hill Air Force Base Museum. So, on the way home we stopped to check out all of the planes, it was really neat and free (we like free activities).

Sorry, this picture is dark (forgot to put on the flash) but it is so cute. Jacob and Makenna were reading books to eachother.

Michael and Makenna climbed up the rock. Makenna wasn't too sure about it at first, she has never really liked heights (she doesn't even like to sit on our bar stools) but she seemed fine once she was up there.

Michael and Newell decorating the rocks with clay pigeons, cans, jugs, bottles, anything they could shoot. It was fun to watch them in all of their creativity.

Braxton riding the 4 wheeler. He had alot of fun riding through the mud. He also had a 4 wheeler accident, but he still drove it after it landed on him. The boys had alot of fun driving them.
