Washington Monument Fun

The kids thought it was fun taking pictures like this. The funny thing is.. as we walked around you would a lot of people posing trying to do this same exact thing. The bottom picture was all Kaelyn. She laid down on a bench at the bottom of the monument and put her finger on the tip. Very impressive!!!

Spring Break

Last week Marc and I took our family to Washington DC. We thought we would turn spring break into a history lesson. We saw so many wonderful things, took a ton of pictures, and walked many miles (at least our feet thought we did). I have so many pictures that I hope to post soon, but for now here is a close up of the White House.

While we were up in the Washington Monument Cameron saw President Obama (at least Cameron thinks it was) outside with his dog Bo. Naturally, I missed it!!!

Utah Friends

Many years ago we had an awesome family who lived right across the street from us. We became great friends with many fond memories of sitting out front watching our kids play. Those were the good old days :) Sadly, about 6 years ago they moved back to Utah. Although, they were excited to be back with family we were sad to see them go. Thankfully, we have kept in touch over the years visiting them while we drive through Utah. Dave and Tif got a chance to come down for a quick trip. We were able to meet up and go to dinner trying to eat while catching up on life and laughing at stories from the past. It is so awesome to have good friends!!!

South Dakota Breakfast

Mary Alice and Rueben Steen come from South Dakota during the winter time to get away from all the snow. They haven't been here for a couple of years. Rueben fell a couple years ago breaking his hip, so it is not the easiest for him to get around. He is also in his 80's and driving around in AZ is not easy. Their youngest son Brent drove them down for a few weeks. We are always happy to see them when they come.

Winter Awards

I know I haven't been very good about updating our blog lately. I promise to do better. There have been some things going on in our family that I will try and catch up on.

In Feb. there was an awards assembly for all the winter sports players. Cameron being part of the basketball team attended the assembly. We all know Cameron has the hugger in the family right. Well, he couldn't resist giving his coach a hug when he went to accept his award. What I love about that picture is the expression on the 8th grade basketball team sitting behind. Gotta leave it to Cameron to bring a smile to everyone's face.
At the beginning of the season there were a few schools that were chosen for showing "pride". The 7th grade basketball team was one of those teams chosen. They receive a banner that hangs in the gym and will hang there forever. Cameron was part of that team.

Golden Gate Bridge

Our little "Go Car" tour took us to the Golden Gate Bridge. What a beautiful bridge. Most of the time we were there it was foggy and hard to see. I think I would be afraid to drive on that bridge for fear it would collapse and I would crash into the ocean. I know what you are thinking....I am a little afraid.

Chocolate Sundae

The best hot fudge sundae I have ever had!!!! Thank you Ghirardelli :)
