Gone Fishing!

Today when I went to get Ian up from his nap I discovered that he had put a ton of toys in his fish tank. Unfortunately I didn't think of taking a photo of the tank with all the toys in it. But here are a few photos of what we fished out of his tank today...... Maybe he thought his fish were bored and needed something to play with. Who knows with this kid!

Easter/Seattle

Dustin's parents just came out for a visit, they were here for almost a week. So we decided it would be fun to go to Seattle for the weekend. Unfortunatly I forgot my camera so I don't have any photos from the trip. We had a great time, and had great weather.
During the following week we had an Easter Egg hunt in the back yard. Ian did a great job finding the Eggs. We got Ava's cute at from a vender in Seattle at Pike's Place Market.

After Gary and Sandy left, Ian kept asking for them. He would say Papa plane, Papa plane. Then he would walk around saying Papa, Samma, Papa, Samma. Poor little guy sure does miss them. He wants to talk to them everyday on Skype.

Washington

After 24 hours total in the car we finally made it to Washington. We stayed a night in Boise with our friends the Yardleys. President Yardley is the Mission President of that area. It was great to see them. Pam made us an awesome dinner and breakfast.

When we got to our hotel in Kennewick we found train tracks right behind the hotel. Ian was in heaven. He wanted to run up and down them all day.

Ava on the other hand just wanted to play with the rocks.

We also found a park by the river with all kinds of birds. Ian loved that too, of course.

I will try to get some pictures posted of our house soon.

Panguitch

We spent a week in Panguitch before moving to Washington and we had a blast. We went sledding by Panguitch Lake.

And in the back yard.

Ava had fun playing Jade.

We also built a cool snowman.

For Valentines Day Dustin's parents came out. We made Dustin and Gary their favorite meal......Macaroni and Cheese with Hamburger. (Yuck!) Sandy and I had a chef salad. We had a fun weekend (other than speaking in church). We always enjoy visits from family!

Duck or Goose????

Dustin and I were having a discussion over the birds in the background. (I didn't take another picture of them, sorry). Excuse the bird in the foreground. Are they Ducks or Geese?? I say they are Ducks. Below is a photo of Geese and another type of Duck. DuckDuckGooseBy the way, who knew Seagulls like cold weather, and the Rocky Mountains???? They migrated here once it got cold.

Ava

Ava said her first word today. Any guesses on what it was............................Of Course it had to be Da Da! What's up with my kids and having da da be their first word? Oh well, I suppose it could be worse. Good thing they have an awesome Dad!
