Mia learns to "sew"

One of the most memorable parts of our trip to Idaho was Mia learning how to "sew" from Great Grandma Craner. Mia was so proud to show everyone her "sewing" project. I think technically it's cross stiching, but since it falls under the umbrella of craftiness, I'm not really sure what you call it. But Mia was absolutely thrilled and loved learning from Grandma. Thank you so much Grandma for taking the time to make a special memory for Mia!

Malad: So much to do; So little time!

All six cousins together for the first time!
Reading books with Grandpa is a must.
Black Beauty got a good workout giving all the kids rides.
The kids spent hours and hours outside. We were so glad to have nice weather. The kids played in the fast melting snow. They played baseball, threw rocks in the reservoir, flew kites, played on the swing set and just enjoyed getting dirty.
The kids were also a big help in the yard too. They helped Grandpa with the leaves and enjoyed riding in the wheel borrow afterward.

Paisley's Blessing

My niece Paisley D Smith was blessed while we were visiting in Idaho. She looked adorable in her blessing dress. We were so glad we could be there for that wonderful day.

Who's excited to go to Idaho?!?!

My parents were going to come visit us in Denver for Spring Break, but since my sister was blessing her baby that weekend and we wanted to see everyone, they sacrificed their much deserved vacation and paid for me and the kids to fly out to Idaho for a week! As you can see the kids were more than thrilled!!! Thank you Mom and Dad
