Spring Time!!

Its finally starting to feel like spring here, and I couldn't be more happy! We have been soaking as much sunshine as we can by fishing and playing with a sling Chase made. Unfortunately the fishing up here is not that great yet so we are struggling to catch anything. Luckily though Chase made us some cheap entertainment with a sling. We are getting pretty good at throwing rocks into the lake. (Maybe that's why we are having a hard time catching fish!) Also I have learned that Chase is a master when it comes to skipping rocks! I have never seen anyone skip a rock like he does! Anyway, here are some action photos we took throwing the sling.

Easter Weekend

This past Thursday we went to the Kalai concert. It was the third time that we have seen him play here on campus at USU, and we always look forward to his concerts! He is one of the best guitar players that I've ever heard. If you like his music on CD, you should hear him play live!!! He is seriously impressive. He toured with "The Wailers" (Bob Marley's band) so he has a reggae sound mixed with acoustic guitar. Overall it was a really good concert and we had a great time


This weekend we also went to Baby Animal Days. They have all kinds of baby farm animals there. I was really excited to see the baby ducks! They were so cute, so I had to hold one! It was fun to walk around and watch all the little kids pet the all the animals.... Then for Easter we had church at 1pm so we were able to sleep in, and for dinner Chase made a great dutch over meal. It was such a nice day, so we went on a walk to the dam. We saw quite a few fish and got excited to start fishing. I just hope the weather will stay nice! All in all we had a great Easter weekend, and excited that school is almost over!

STILL WINTER

Chase and I woke up this morning to find we had been covered in snow over night! We were not expecting this at all and I was a little bummed because all I want is spring to come and warm weather to be here! We decided it would be fun to go outside and play in our yard.
Beaver Mountain closed yesterday, so we spent last week getting some good ski days in before the season was over. We had so much fun this season skiing and proud to say we definitely put our season passes to good use! Here are a couple pictures of us from this last week. We are sad that the season is over, but excited for the weather to warm up!

Spring Break

We started out Spring Break by going to St. George. I could not wait to be in warm weather and not have to bundle up to go outside! It was so nice down there I didn't want to leave. We also made a quick trip Las Vegas. We spent the day walking around the strip, looked at all the beautiful flowers at the Bellagio, and did a little shopping. It was so fun to be with the family and by the end of the day we were all so tired. I can't wait for summer in St. George

After St. George we made a stop in Salt Lake to watch Trev ski in the U.S. Freeskiing Competition. We were really excited to hang out at Snowbird and watch all the skiers. Trev had a great run and went huge on the last jump but unfortunately he fell, but it was fun to be there for him! After skiing at Snowbird we realized how used to the Beav we are.

We ended our spring break by heading to Denver for the weekend! Kenny brought Stella to Denver a few days before we got there and was planning to take her back to Salt Lake, but since Chase and I were headed back on Sunday we had the "privilege" to return her to her parents. It really was not a bad experience. She was great on the plane! But on the way to the airport she just happened to throw up in her car seat, then casually fall asleep. But in the end we learned it was great birth control, and Stella is a great little niece!!... It was so fun to be in Denver. We were able to see the my mom's Showroom which is awesome. Both of my parents have done a some much work to put it all together and it is the best in all of the Design Center. It was also really fun to hang out with Hailey and Joe, we just wish we could have been there longer.

Waiting for Spring!

Hopefully there won't be much more of this because spring is almost here! We are both really excited for spring to arrive, but we will be sad when ski season is over. We have been busy with the usual stuff..... school, work, skiing, and other day to day things.... nothing to special but we are having fun!

For some reason we couldn't get the video of Chase skiing so here are some good photos!

Skiing!!




Here are a few pics of us skiing, Alex is still by far the better skier!! We have been trying to go as much as possible with our season passes and so far we have had a really good time. As you can see we are not pro's, but we like to act like we are!! hah
