After Grandma Lee's funeral Tj and I were able to stay and play in St. George. TJs parents were sooo nice to drive the girls back home and stay with them for a few days. I was really worried about having TJs parents drive them home because I know just how "fun" my kids can be in the car. I worried about their sanity. Turns out they all slept most of the way home. They never do that for me. Guess I should leave more often. While on our little getaway we went hiking in Zions a couple days (we REALLY wanted to do some of the bigger hikes since we had no children but those still had snow on them). None the less it was great and the waterfalls were beautiful because of all the snow melt.



There is a spot where for some reason people stop and pile rocks. So we did. I'm sure it has since washed away.










We also did some biking (but not a lot because it makes your bum REALLY sore if you don't do it very often). We did go to the sand dunes and ride around on the four wheelers. They make me really nervous. I can't even tell you how many times I have fallen off of them. My grandma Betty Jo had some and my crazy sister Tandy always was flipping us off, Tessa once fell down the mountain on one and I once flipped one on top of my friend Monica and I. There are better things I like to do. It was great to just hang out the two of us. We went to a movie one day, ate A LOT of good food (which I am paying for now). We sat by the warm fire and just enjoyed each others company. The weather was not as warm as we hoped but it was still GREAT! I love being OUTSIDE and enjoying what Heavenly Father has given us. If there is one thing I hope I can teach my girls is to appreciate nature and the beauty around us and to live it and LOVE it!

I was more than excited to see my girls when we came home and was sad when Lexi pushed me away and only wanted Grandma. It hurt my feeling a little. But I won her heart back in no time.
