Easter Egg Hunt in Las Vegas ... April 14th, 2012

Since we had an Easter Egg Hunt with the other grandkids ... it seemed only right that we have one in Las Vegas as well. We came down for a long weekend ... We left Friday morning to avoid a bad storm that was coming (Cedar got 6" of snow), so that was nice. LV was cool for them, but nice to us!!
Above: McKay and Talmage ... hunting in the palms! (Grandpa hid them well!)

Tanner was looking for the ones that were left. We do miss those boys!! We got to watch Tanner play in a Basketball game while we were there. He is an amazing player!

Donna and her kids were in LV for the week and ended up staying an extra couple of nights to see us and then to avoid the SNOW that was on Mountain Pass from all the storms. It was fun to get to see them and spend some time with her. (Megan is now working at the bakery for Mike and Jodi)

Easter Sunday ... April 8th, 2012

Here's our cute Amy ... expecting boy #3 the end of May.
(I never looked that cute pregnant ... way to go Amy!!)


The boys out finding Easter eggs at Grandpa and Gramma's

Easter Egg Hunt at the Property ... (My 300th Blog Post BTW)

We hid 'several hundred' eggs ... all over the property ... so the kids had fun finding them. (It had snowed the night before ... crazy weather ... they had no trouble finding them!)

 

David built a 'zip line' for the kids out at the property. Today was a big day because they got the wire strung and the kids were anxious to try it out. Here are Zachary and Carter on the platform (It will have a ladder and a railing around it when finished!)


The pold at the other end. This was a major project to get into place. It is a used telephone pole (very heavy) and it needed to be in the ground about 6' ... but when they dug down they found ROCK ... David had to rent a jack hammer and they finally got it dug. It took 6 of us on ropes to get it up. (A David and Dennis job for sure! They figured out how to do it as it weighs hundreds of #'s)

Winter to Spring ... in Utah!

 

I have published numerous winter/snowy pictures over the past 8 years ... and here is another one. It shows the resilience of tulips ... they can handle a little snow!


Here they are just a little while later ... actually looking a little dry! The weather never ceases to amaze me. I think that is why I enjoy living here ... always changing!
