Such a good experience with Mason today getting his patriarchal blessing. Unique for a purpose.

Cool wild animal encounters this week. Wednesday was a ward thing where a lady brought rescue animals like a skunk and a ringtail. Friday was a big horn sheep up AF canyon. Today was a hawk on a light post that was having some bird breakfast.

This made me think of my dad and puttering. :)

Happy Kenzie's birthday! That girl is just so awesome. Cam and Sade and I went up to Logan for the afternoon for lunch and birthday bowling. (Should I have let the birthday girl win? Cause I didn't.). Way fun to spend some of the birthday day with Kenz.

Got out on a hike with D. We hiked up Bell Canyon. It was a beautiful day for a hike - the day after a rain storm with blue skies. I love hiking after rain. Everything seems so fresh. We had a great hike with turkeys and worms and listening to a pika. I hiked the last 1/2 mile to the waterfall by myself. D's foot still isn't completely healed. Hiking by yourself is kind of cool sometimes - you can set your own pace and just soak it all in. It was just me at the waterfall which was pretty cool.

He is risen!!!
Good Easter together with all my kids. We joined the Drapers for Easter dinner followed by the egg toss. M and I are 2017 champions (we named ourselves champions since we lasted the longest and were the farthest apart). Sadie and Blake cracked me up tossing - and doing a great job. Cam found the golden egg and also got all the yolk in the egg toss. :)
Here's a nice try at a family photo:

Our Spring Break trip to California was fabulous!
I learned that if you want to hike the Red Rocks Reserve waterfall hike in Leeds, go on a rainy day (only 1 other car in the parking lot and was a perfect way to get out and stretch legs). I learned that you only need 1 day in Joshua Tree but we made it work. I learned that Chuckwalla lizards are huge. I learned that some hikes look way better in pictures than the actual scenery you see. I learned that Joshua Tree has lots of rocks to climb on and no "stay on trail" signs - it was fun to be able to totally explore wherever you wanted. I learned that sometimes there's nothing like a beach. I learned that we only need about 3 hours at a beach. I learned that Del Mar beach is cool and has fun rocks to stack. I learned that the sea lions are still at La Jolla. I learned that even if your hotel is 1/2 mile from Mexico, it still feels like the USA. I learned that sometimes finding a Wendy's to eat at is harder than you think. I learned that our family still loves Sea World. I learned that Biff is still funny. I learned that the crowds weren't too bad at Sea World over Spring Break. I learned that if you get wet in the morning at Sea World you will be wet all day. I learned that 69 degrees in San Diego is amazing weather. I learned that nothing tastes better than a burger from Red Robin after eating snacks all day at Sea World. I learned that it's a great idea to hit a beach before leaving California. I learned that 11 hours driving is a lot - even when you split it up (or maybe especially when you split it up). I learned that a pop in to Richfield is good even when it's only 45 minutes long. I learned that there are a million people on I-15 on the Sunday after Spring Break. I learned that sand will make the 11 hour trip home with you.
