The first Hike of the summer (post by Tommy)

I have a four year old boy in Southern Utah. There is an unwritten law that if you have a young boy in Southern Utah it is imperative that you love hiking. I think I would love it regardless but the happiness it brings to my children makes it that much better. Not only does Howie love it. Livie even loves it buckled into that funny backpack. I wonder if she will be smiling as much when she has to carry her own weight rather than making me Just kidding I love the extra weight it makes the hike that much more of a work out.
The whole time I was trying to keep her hat on so she would not get a sunburn but she just kept on taking it off. Luckily she didn't get burned to bad, thanks to Howie who kept on letting me know that her hat was off and then I would kneel down on the ground and Howie would put her hat back on. Thanks Buddy you were a huge help this day.

Howie is all boy the whole time we were hiking he wanted to catch grass hoppers, and he is really quite good at it. He would see one and completely slow down(which is no small feat for this boy) and sneak up on them. I was impressed how good he is at catching them.

Main street park (posted by Tommy)

Olivia standing with dad in the water at main street park in St. George. April is some of the best weather in St. George. This is the reason we live through the summers.

There is a little waterfall after Howie showed Livie how to play in it she had a blast.

I even got wet with the kids it was a real blast. I love the spring

This is a video of Livie playing in the waterfall. As you can see she had a blast. she didn't care how wet she got.

No more training wheels (posted by Tommy)

Howie has been trying to get me to take off his training wheels for a long time. I have been putting it off because I didn't want him to hurt himself and I just didn't think he was ready for them. finally on the 22nd I told him that I would however I had to go get some elbow and knee pads. The reason for this is because I knew he was going to wreck because I crashed so much trying to learn to ride a bike. Well he still has not crashed on his two wheel bike yet. I guess I should show more faith in my child.

Real Reason for Easter

this is as high tech-y as I have yet attempted. I don't know how to make it all fit in the screen, most of it does though. Enjoy. It is beautiful.
