Our trip to Utah

Zach broke my mom's house in quick. He had a good time doing it too.

We were so excited to meet Miss Maggie. Amber's new baby. She's beautiful!

Lydea and Maggie. I can't tell you how happy Lydea was to get to see Maggie before she got big. She LOVES babies.

It is tradition for grandma to take us to get our ears peirced when we turn 8 in my family. We weren't able to get it done this summer when we were out so that was one of the first things that we did when we got to UT. Haylee was so exited. I took a video of her getting them peirced and she just flinched a little, but I accidentally erased it...BUMMER!

Haylee and Grandma.

Thanks Grandma, she loves them!

Karl's little sister, Nancy and BJ got married March 7. We were so happy to be able to go out there for it occation.

My sister-in-law Bri keeping Zach from running into the street. He was quite the little busy body that day. Like usual.

Karl's family

I had the privialege of doing my first wedding cake. It was fun. I did have a lot of help, and it is not perfect, but it turned out beautiful with a little extra personality on my part.

After it was all said and done we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Chandler's for a little fun.

Carson found the pop gun!

Rebecca is just about as cute as they come!

Grandpa pulled out his pencil collection. The grand kids had a good time looking at all of them.

While we were out there we had the opperituniy to go down to the Drapper temple open house. Since it was not dedicated the kids were able to go inside and walk through and see it all. It was a great experience for them. I only got pictures of the bus ride there.

Zach loved the bus.

It was super cold that day. I wanted to get a picture of the kids out in front of the temple, but all I got was a picture of the temple through the bus window.

AND we got to go sledding just before we came home. We went with my sister Melissa and her kids and we had a blast.

18 in. of fresh snow and sunshine. You don't go far on you first slide down. So we went and found a couple trails already paved for us.

I also had the chance to meet up with some friends from Minot that evening after sledding. It was fun to see Amber and her kids.

(Do you like how his dinner is on his forehead?)

And the the drive home.

Keeping Zachary occupied with chocolate. It worked for a little while.

Really he wasn't too bad.

My mom driving...I couldn't have done it without her.

I love her to peices!

Back in KY we went on a day trip down to Berrea before Grandma and Grandpa left.

It's a pretty little town.

THIS IS WHAT I CAME HOME TO...SPRING!

Daffodills in my back yard and trees budding all around. So fun to be sledding one day and get to leave it all behind and for the green.
