HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !

Before we start on my monthly report we wanted to take a second to give a shout out to all the moms in our lives. We love you and thank you for all you have done for us.

Since our last post we've been a few places and seen a few things. Let's start with our vacation.

We left Phoenix on 4/21 and went up to SLC and spent the weekend with the Posts, Petersens, Melins, and Brent. On Sunday, we had a family party at Willy & Audrey's and we all hung out and had a good time together.

Monday morning we left and headed off to Park City/Midway for our night at Zermatt, (a resort in Midway). Here we got to spend the rest of the day at the spa, we got a couple's message, hung out in a steam room, then went to the hot tub/pool. It was all very nice, there were only a hand full of people in the whole resort. I highly recommend the "off season".

Tuesday we headed back through SLC and went through the Temple, it was a wonderful experience. After the Temple we ate lunch at the Garden Restaurant and headed off to Island Park, ID. In Idaho we stayed in a nice little cabin for the night.

On Wednesday we left for Yellowstone, we ate breakfast at a place in West Yellowstone , MT.
After breakfast we drove through the park. While in the park we saw buffalo, elk, geysers, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. We left the park and met up with Maj and Rich at Chico Hot Springs for dinner and a dip.

We spent Wednesday and Thursday nights with Jamie and Rich in Livingston. Thursday we just hung out - the Lehmans came down and spent the day with us. Jamie and Rich had planned a Hawaiian party. The food was great, the company was even better! We are so glad we had a chance to spend this time with our family!

Friday morning we woke up and headed back to Salt Lake. We stopped off in Pocatello and had lunch with Dad. We continued on through Preston, Idaho to see some of the sites from Napoleon Dynamite. We continued through Logan, and made a stop at the Temple. While in Logan we picked up some candy and continued toward SLC. We took a little detour and visited the grave site of Christopher Layton in Kaysville.

We checked into our hotel in downtown SLC and met up with Kristen's friend Liz and had dinner with her at Gateway. Saturday morning we headed off to Herriman for Melanie and Liam's soccer games. After the games we went to Maverick for some frozen yogurt. After leaving the Post house we had lunch with Emily and her husband Richard at their house . After lunch we went to catch our plane home. We arrived in Phoenix and Damien picked us up at the airport, and we went out for dinner then headed for home.

Unfortunately I am the slowest typist in all the land and I am now out of time. I will have to finish up later.
