St George

For SPRING BREAK we went to St Gerorge with my sister and her 2 girls, Madi & Lauren. We went from Sunday to Thursday and had so much fun! Reed (my brother in law) came down on Tuesday to join the party. Unfortunately Kent couldn't get time off and had to stay home! We were sad that he couldn't come, but when we got home, we told him we had to plan a trip back to Zions. Jordan (my nephew) was in california with his friend so we missed having him there also. We mostly just hung out by the pool. We drove up to Kolob Canyon - it truly was breathtaking!! We also spent the day in Zion National Park. I had never been and it was amazing!!

Jaxon & Lauren Swimming in the Pool. They were like little fish!! Millie looks so cute after getting out of the pool!! She liked sitting in her little floating crab!So Cute taking a nap. She only took a couple the whole time we were gone! No wonder she was exhausted when we got home!!

We all drove down in my van (Which i LOVE) It was so nice that we could all drive together, and it was nice for my sister and I that the kids could watch movies- it made for a nice quiet ride. Poor little Millie was not feeling the greatest. She had a runny nose, a bad cough, poopy bum (all the time) and was not happy - which is totally not like her!! We were excited for the warm weather, but it really wasn't all that warm - it was so windy and was pretty chilly!!! Too bad it was warming up the day we left - just our luck. Nethertheless we had a great time.

We ate at some good restaurants, had Nielsons frozen custard, and had lots of laughs. Cute little Lauren lost her front tooth at breakfast one morning!!

We did have a great time, but like always it is SO nice to come home. Especially to see DAD!!! We missed you so much!! The first thing that Jaxon wanted to do, of course, was go to Grandma & Grandpa Drakes to jump on the tramp!! Millie was so excited to get home and just smiled when i took her into her bedroom. She slept for 12 hours straight the first night home.....now if only everynight could be like that!

Getting ready to go swimming!! Jaxon was so good at keeping his hat on (his face got sunburned the Saturday before we left - so i insisted he wore his hat ALL the time & he never complained!)- He is such a good boy!

I guess some boys are NOT made of lizard tails! That is so funny it freaked him out. Dont tell Kent about this because now he is going to try and toughin' him up by making him touch bugs and stuff. Thats what Ted would do. :-)
Sounds like you guys had a great time. Loved all the pictures! We are going to Moab on mothers day weekend and St. George on Memorial weekend. Cant wait!
