Our Easter Best
I just love this picture. I never would have imagined how happy it would make me to convince a four-year-old to put on a tie and belt! It was a real victory rush -weird, I know. He looks like such a little man. Hope you all had a happy Easter! We are finally over the sugar high. 
Easter Bunny
We're not really into the Easter Bunny at our house, but we were at Wal-mart last week and they had this free picture set-up. Parker saw that you got a piece of candy for having your picture taken, and into line he hopped.
It took the photographer a few minutes to get a picture of Truman, because he wouldn't take his eyes off the floor. He was not about to move a muscle next to this freaky rabbit. He finally did look up, but I could see the relief on his face when he was given the candy and could get out of there.

Poppy season
We drove over to LA a few weeks ago, and the poppies and other wildflowers in the canyons on the way were out of control! I guess all the rain this winter made them extra abundant. I snapped this picture through the window. Trivia bit: the California Poppy is the state flower.
Paint a picture with words
I think I said, "I wish we had the camera" about 15 times on our trip to Utah. Pre-blog I would not have really cared that life was going on undocumented. So, I'm starting to change my habits. But for the blog, I would probably have ended up a shriveled old woman with nothing to show for my life but a pathetic little envelope of school pictures. I think I'll keep that image in mind the next time I am leaving town without the camera.
So, here is what I missed:
drive to St. George - probably would not have photographed that; pretty uneventful. But I could have taken some cousin photos/ Grandma, Grandpa, etc.
miniature golf at Fiesta Fun - perfect photo op - Parker whacking every tree and bush with his golf club turned hatchet, Emma coming from behind for a strong finish, me . . . hitting the ball into the water . . . then fishing it out with the club.
Red hills with the kids- countless missed photos. Emma is quite the climber. Parker and Truman, not so much. I realized what a sheltered life Truman has led. In our "planned community" city, he doesn't spend much time in a non-landscaped setting. Turns out he does not care for uneven footing. He prefers a shoulder perch.
"Enchanted"- Okay, I wouldn't have used flash photography in a theater, but I wish we had a video of Emma watching this movie. She was giggling "fit to kill". The cleaning animals did it for her.

Sand Hollow Swimming Pool - Truman's smile coming down the big water slide with Todd was pretty cute.
Girls' sleepover - Emma and I drove up to Salt Lake on Saturday. We were able to see our friends in Alpine (Nicki) on the way - great, but too short! We stopped at Mrs. Cavanaugh's in Bountiful for a hit of chocolate, and then went to stay with Emily in Centerville that night. I wish I had a picture of Sarah, Emma and Olivia camped out on the playroom floor. We could hear them giggling and singing for quite a while. I loved being able to hang out with such favorite people.
Sunday gathering at Lowe's house - Someone should always have a camera for those after-church, full table of food times. Wonderful to see Mom & Dad, Holly & Steve, Lowe's family. I was so glad to be there to see Lowe ordained as a bishop.
I'm trying to speed up this post. Basically, I love being in Utah, and that about wraps it up.
