With Easter officially in the rear view mirror, I can finally feel like our winter is over and spring in out in full force. I went out in the yard today and mowed the lawn for the first time, and then set up our sprinklers- a new system we devised at the end of last year using multiple hoses and timers that will hopefully make for easy maintenance. Spring cleaning is next, and I have big plans for the shop to finally reach its full glory (gym/rec room/workplace). We'll also call this week and make an appointment for our boat to get de-winterized (I refuse to use the word "summerized"- I think it sounds weird), and the winter clothes, skis, and sleds will all go into storage. The sun is out the kids spend lots of time on their bikes and scooters. It is a good time of year.

For our weekend we took a quick trip to Rexburg to celebrate the holiday with my family. Griffin and Courtney (two of my siblings) came up with their kids as well and we had a full house and lots of bonding time with cousins. The community egg "hunt" was comical but fun, and the climb up "R Mountain" was a nice way to spend the afternoon. Adults got to spend quality time together as well, and we talked long into the night catching up with each other's lives. It was a good trip, and ended too soon.
Everyone in this good looking family made it to the top! Also, Maren's face got attacked by her hair in this picture (it was a bit windy), but it was the best one we had of the group. Sorry Mare : /

Here's a cute one of Maren

But in this one, she kind of looks like the girl from The Ring. We have got to figure out that hair!

This morning Rachel and I had our usual Monday morning breakfast date, and then went rock climbing at some nearby cliffs. From the breakfast table to the top of the first climb took 17 minutes. I love where we live!

Well...
