Spring Break/A Break from Spring

Bad Blogger!  Bad!  Okay, now that I have sufficiently shamed myself for the lack of blogging, I'm going to continue the post I started days ago and pretend like nothing happened. :)

Shhhhh....do you hear that?  Guess what.  Neither do I.  That's because no one is here.  Yes, it's Monday (okay...Wednesday....) afternoon and my big kids are back to school and little Bundle is sound asleep.  Ahhhhhhh.  Spring break has come and gone. And I'm going to go ahead and claim that as the reason for my long blogging lag.  (I'm always coming up with excuses these days, aren't I?)  Actually, spring is turning out to be not so springy here in Salt Lake City.  It's grey, it's cold, it's rainy. Thus a trip to St. George to visit my brother and his family seemed more than warranted.  We had a lovely lovely time.  The first day down there was overcast, which dampened my sis-in-law's mood, considering the fact that it was her birthday.  (She turned 27 - isn't that cute?  I remember turning 27 a really really long time ago....)  We enjoyed a lot of time outside on their tramp and playing at the local splash park too.  We did a little hike through Chuckwalla Canyon (I think?) and Stomper did his very best to catch a lizard, to no avail. Here are some of my favorite pix from the trip:
 
 

We loved getting away from the dreariness of Spring...wait, that sounded wrong.  I guess I can't complain too much - the sun is shining right now, but it is supposed to snow on Friday.  Wah!!!!

I was just telling my aunt that I needed a St. George getaway - they were down at their 2nd home there this past weekend too... me? no - was in the ER with Porter - imagine that? weird.... So happy to see all your fun in the sun pictures! Have a great week!
