It just struck me how fast my girls are growing up. They follow everything I do, it seems. Here are a couple of pics of them (a couple of us bonding).

New Mexico, Easter, and Tay's 3rd Birthday

So much happened last weekend... not sure where to start. We went to my Grandma Livingston's on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. Jeep had the bright idea to go a different way. It was great - thru Green River, Monticello, Cortez, and Shiprock - just to name a few. The drive was pretty, and we got to go to the Monticello temple - it was beautiful and so peaceful. Good call, Jeep!

Monticello Temple

At my grandma's, we went to town, shopped, visited the rained-out flea market, ate GOOD food, Kin learned to tie her shoes, and the kids liked the sheep. My grandma is so cute. I think we overwhelmed her a bit, though, since there are a lot of us. Tay especially liked her and followed her around everywhere.

On the way home, we stopped by Four Corners - so cool. Then, we went back through Capitol Reef. It was so beautiful. And again, it was nice to go a different way.

Four Corners - UT, AR, NM, and CO; pretty drive

Kait, Me, Dad; cute Tay and Kin!

More scenery

On Monday, we celebrated Easter with a candy hunt (more candy than eggs) - yum. I love Easter and the reminder that Christ was resurrected and atoned for US. I'm so grateful for this knowledge!

Plus, we had Tay's 3rd birthday party. She's growing so fast. We love her adorable personality; she really is becoming a "big girl", which she always reminds us of. :) Her favorite presents included many dolls - mainly Polly Pockets, cute clothes, a purse w/ accessories, her "Wammy" (stuffed lamb), and her very own TRICYCLE!

Easter Fun!


Good times for Tayleah Reese Spaulding

Thanks to Daez for making the cake!

Sooo much fun... but I'm tired :)

Home Track Meet

So much is happening this month, but here is the update from last weekend. It was cold, but no snow stuck! Our boys and girls blew away the competition and won both boys and girls. I love these kids; they work so hard! Sometimes coaching is frustrating, but sometimes there are huge payoffs. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED; WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!! (Track meets are so much work)


Pictures are of me with the girls' trophy - NICE, The 1st place teams (boys and girls), and me with w/ Kait
