ST. GEORGE

Matt and I went to St. George for spring break. We had tons and tons of fun. We went rock climbing 4 of the 5 days. We had a great time and we got a little sun!!
This is Matt repelling himself off the edge and down the cliff. This was about a 48 ft. drop. He's a pro!!

This is the same cliff. Wow the first part of it is an overhang so it took a lot of effort for me to get up and over it. Once I got over my arms were dead... but I still made it to the top. After I got up Kass was determined to make it up, and she did too! Of course Matt went up like three times without all of the drama... but us girls felt really good about getting up this one.

My mom was awesome and bought a child harness for our collection. Kyron was so brave and repelled and climbed all the the places that we went. He was amazingly fearless.

We went on a hike to see an arch. Ok it was more like a walk but the kids liked it. This is the whole gang that was there that week. We had a blast! Mom did great. She had surgery only a couple of weeks before we went and she kept up with all of us. She didn't want to climb though... next time.

Of course Matt made a noose and caught a lizard for Kyron.

Once Kyron fell off of the rock and just hung there. I just love this picture so I had to blog it!

This is Matt pulling Kyron up the rock. Ky helped a lot but so did Matt.

This is Mel on her way up.

Mask of Rhodes

We did avocado masks! They were fun... and now we have beautiful skin!

These are more geese. The white ones are man geese and the brown one is a she goose. She kept having to chase the stupid man geese away... you know... spring=... more geese.

About 5 mins. from our house is a park with a pond and lots of birds. We went and walked around and Matt took some really cool pictures. Look how cool the water looks. This is some sort of goose... I think.

This is us in some cave we found.

Matt and I went for a hike today. This is a waterfall that is at the mouth of the canyon. The wind was blowing so hard that the water was falling up. It was really cool!

Thanks Kass for the *sticker. We are showing our support for the AGGIES!

MaRdI GrAs

Saturday night we went to the Rhodes yearly Mardi Gras Party. It was really fun!! This is me and Mary Lyn in our masks. Below is Matt and I in our masks!

We got 14 inches of snow today and our neighborhood looked like a wintery wonderland. Matt took all of these pitures and they are great. This is a tree by our house.
This is our driveway. LOTS AND LOTS of snow.

I got my hair cut and colored. I thought that I would try bangs. So far so good!!

For the last four weeks I have been precepting (working full time with a nurse) in labor and delivery. I LOVED being there. I helped deliver a total of about 20 babies and got to use all of my skills. I have a great mentor named Peggy! She is an amazing nurse and a great teacher! I am really going to miss being there! This is Peggy and me on my last day.

Today is a big day for us... we got the Internet and cable TV. Wow a big step. Welp that all I have to say.

OK, ok I know that I have been a huge slacker... but you know how it is. Life is busy and crazy and without the Internet at home really hard to update a blog. So here are some tidbits of what has been happening in our crazy lives. We had a great Christmas and New Year. We got a washer for Christmas which might not seem that exciting to most but it was the perfect gift. I did laundry that same day because I was so excited that I didn't have to go to the laundry mat!! I have started school again and I am currently doing my preceptorship! I am in Labor and Delivery and I LOVE IT!! I have only done two shifts but in those two shifts I helped deliver 8 babies. Its great. We are both happy and healthy. I promise some good picture soon!

This is the final product. I am proud to say that we had it up a week BEFORE Thanksgiving... and it wasn't my idea to put it up!! I love Christmas season!!

This is this holiday's version of the apothocary jar. I love this jar!!

This is our new car. We really love her. We named her Roxanne.... but you can call her Roxy.

Ok so I am a big slacker but alot has happened over the past few weeks. My little bro left for his mission in Washington, Everette. We got a new car and best of all school is almost over. I love the holidays!! Will post more later!!
