We finally got our Easter Lilly fix!!! (an Easter dessert Tradition, passed down through my Grandma Holt's family) We took the kids down to St. G. this last weekend. It was my 29th birthday on Thurs, March 27th - and my mom suggested that we make Easter Lilly's instead of b-day cake. Everyone was cool with that. In our family, when my mom makes them, we LOVE adding freshly cut strawberry's with them. YUM!
We had a combined Family Birthday Bash that night!!! - for Brad, Kendall, me, and Sara. The 3 of us have March B-days and Sara's is April 4th. So we combined the party since we were all there (Except our wonderful Cami, of course. We missed you - we LOVE you!!!). Oh - and we also had a chocolate cake.
Then on Friday, we stole Landon for a few hours and played with the 3 kids at the park and then went to McDonald's. Then we played at G-ma's house. That night our kids slept over at Brad and Kendall's and played with their cousins. SO fun! Then the kids slept at G-ma's house Saturday night.
Cute kids at McDonald's!!
The above consisted of only Thursday night and Friday day. The rest of the weekend was what made it the BEST!!! Scott and I had been planning a weekend together - so while the kids were with the rest of the family - we took a couple days and went hiking in Zion and were reminded of how FUN it is to be together and do what we love to do together - hike and be in God's creations. We hiked Angel's Landing Saturday (cool, hard hike), saw Fool's Gold movie (on the IMAX), good flick, and ate at Oscar's that night (the best restaurant there). We went cheap Saturday night and slept in the car. Half way through the night, I moved outside to have more room, which gave Scott more room in the car. The night was beautiful - cool desert air and tons of stars. It was a fun little adventure. Then we woke up, had bagels and hot beverages for breakfast and hiked Hidden Canyon. It was a gorgeous hike!!! Good times!!! We also had good, light-hearted, un-interrupted adult conversation! Nice! We needed a rekindling of romance and just good, adventurous, and relaxing FUN together! The BEST!!!
Big THANKS to my mom for being SO willing to just watch our kids overnight without hesitation!!! You do such fun, creative things with them! Also, Big THANKS to Brad and Kendall for offering (almost begging :) ) to take our kids overnight Friday! You all ROCK!!! It is really nice to know that it is a FUN thing for you guys and not a burden - we really appreciate it!!! It made our trip that much better! Thank you!

Hey Babe!! Sorry I missed your birthday! We were in the middle of a major road trip to Sacramento with the Kids. The only think I was thinking about was getting to Jess's with the kids in one piece (12 hours on the road)! Anyway, it looks like you had a fantastic time. Call me if you ever get a minute! Love ya.
