Christie, Moss and family were in the middle of moving to a new house right during her birthday. We dropped something off in kind of a hurry so as not to get in the way of their hard work! Another long evening we went down to see the new statues at the Town Square! On a Saturday afternoon, Paul, Bean and I took our bike up to Pine Valley to ride the bike trails/road. There was still some snow to impede some shady spots, but it was still a lot of fun!
Easter came the same day as General Conference! What a wonderful day and way to remember our Savior's wonderful sacrifice and all of the blessings that come to us through it!
On the last day of Easter Break we took a drive to Seegmiller Peak on the Arizona Strip. Almost got stuck one time, saw some new scenery and enjoyed a picnic lunch looking at these cool rocks. The cute lizard is on our front porch! Paul made it, of course.
Sometimes I take some wonderful walks on the Red Hill behind our house. It does my soul good. It did this little bird's soul good too - he was singing away!
This Saturday we took a couple of hikes. We wanted to do Spring Creek, but there were so many people there that we went a couple of canyons down and did Camp Creek instead. The only other person we saw there was a Zion Park ranger there doing a check on it. We did about 6.9 miles there in and out. Then even though it was late afternoon, we went back and did another few miles into Spring Creek after some of the crowd had clear out. All in all, it ended up being about 10 miles. We haven't hiked that much for a long time because of Paul's bad foot. He stuck out the pain and enjoyed it in spite of.
We had another family dinner and it was good again. Ferf and Ryan livened things up by bringing 2 new cars for people to take rides in. Kennis worked on teaching Tasia to learn stick shift on the new Jeep and Ferf and Ryan showed us what it's like to ride in a brand new very FAST car! And everyone is so glad to start getting to know the Jem child at last! Knick names are coming for him - Jem Bob, Jemster...
Some more stone art ala the grand kids artistes (to go with Paul's big lizard).
And here's our Sweet Essie, such a cutie, on her 7th birthday, and our last of the April birthdays! She said it was a great day and especially loved going out for dinner with her dad and having a giant bear pancake made especially for her!!!
