We decided a few weeks ago with some friends that we wanted to do something fun for the long weekend. Chad even worked it out so that we could leave Thursday night instead of Friday after work. This never happens so I was pretty excited. St. George is the easiest place to go because we have a place to stay and a willing babysitter. This is a picture of Leighton and Jack getting ready to go on their first bike ride in
STG.
On Saturday the girls went to the Parade of Homes and the boys went mountain biking. The houses were amazing as usual but I don't recommend taking 4 kids with you.
Saturday night we roasted marshmallows and chit chatted.
This is the lovely Christin Buck that came to hang out. I love her and don't see enough of her!
So nice to get away and have a good time! Thanks mom and dad for letting us come stay!
Chad has found a new love in mountain biking. He goes whenever he can. This is a picture of a fun trip he took to Moab with Brian, TJ, Brook and Kim.
Chad made Mother's Day weekend a lot of fun. On Sunday we rode our bikes on the back roads from Spanish Fork to Payson to visit his aunt and then went over to his grandmas for a big family dinner.
I thought this was a great picture of Kay and McCall. McCall will be leaving us for the summer at the end of this month to go to El Salvador and we sure are going to miss her.
It was fun having Amanda and her family in town for a week. This was taking pictures the night before they left.
A few weeks ago Leighton and I went with the Ashby family on a trip to San Fransisco for a few days. It was Leighton's first time flying.

Cardinals vs. Giants ball game in San Fran.
Other than our boat ride to Alcatraz this was as close as we got to the ocean.
We had to visit Ghiradelli square two different times because their ice cream was so good.
Us and Jason in China Town.
We ate at a lot of good restaurants but Leighton's favorite was the Mexican restaurant with the black beans.
We took a boat over to Alcatraz Island the first day we got there.
It doesn't show up in this picture but the view from over there of San Fransisco were amazing.
A picture of some of our happy family.
Leighton with her Easter basket.
We went to the Art's Festival and played in the water area for a little while.
We also took our bikes down and did some riding. When I started biking 2-3 miles was a long ride but this weekend I did 12.
