Easter!

The little Easter Bunnies!!!
Yes I am a little late posting Easter, but its been a busy week!

Well Easter weekend was fun we went hiking and out to eat at Red Robin on Saturday. Then Sunday McKay and I taught our primary class and headed up to Enterprise to eat some dinner and watch the niece and nephews find the Easter Bunnies eggs! Aubrey was all over the egg hunting...AJ was sick so didn't want to go find anyand Tallon found one and was content with that the rest of the night! We then went over to the Jones' and saw Taya and she was wearing a super cute Easter dress. I just love Easter Sunday's! All the cute girls in their dresses and the boys all spiffied up!

McKay and I even had an Easter Basket from the Easter bunny, it was hidden in the well outside the front of my parents house!Isaac was even able to find an egg before Aubrey got them all!So here in this picture McKay is jiggling the eggs with the jelly beans in it... to Tallon who was just getting the biggest kick out of it!...and here is Tallon just laughing away, it was so cute, McKay had him going for a while! Such a big smile!!!

Zion's Park Hike!!!

Well Saturday we finally got to Zion's to go hiking back up where McKay proposed to me a year ago! We invited my family to come with us as part of a Easter activity!

.
The whole day there was rain on and off and very cloudy skies! We were trying to debate whether to go or not and decided to drive out there and see how the weather was then! As we got closer it seemed like it would be a good day!

.

We exited the shuttle at our stop and it was sprinkling a little but nothing was going to stop us now! We started the hike to the Emerald Pools! It only sprinkled for about 5 mintues and then stopped and the rest of the hike was absolutely beautiful! It could not have been a better day! On our way up the first pool and waterfall we got to wasn't very big but on the way down it had like tripled in size if not bigger than that! It was so cool to see the difference and be able to compare the pictures from the way up and the way down! The middle pool seemed to be the same as last year but the most changes happened when we hit the upper pool and waterfall! The place he got down on his knee was now covered with water and the waterfall was lots bigger! I couldn't believe how much more water was there this year!!!The first year there... April 5th, 2008Right behind us on the light colored sand to the right of this picture is where McKay proposed last year and as you can see this year is all covered with water!!!

.
We all really enjoyed it and McKay and I were excited to share the memories of the last time we were there! Such good times! Thanks family for coming with us! We loved having you there!

One Year Ago

One year ago today McKay asked me to marry him!!! Crazy how time flys! I mean exactly three months from today we will hit our one year anniversary!!!

.

This upcoming saturday we are going to go back to Zion National Park to hike back to the place he proposed! We are really excited and thought it would be a fun tradition to start... going back there every year at this time that is!!!

.

Today one year ago was the start of something great and beautiful!!!

He had just proposed and I was in such shock I didn't take the ring so he is still holding it!!!

Proud Wife!!!

This may seem silly to some but it is so neat to me!!! I am so proud of McKay... today we were trying to decide whether or not to head up to Enterprise today to watch conference with family or stay down here since we have been up a lot lately! After a thorough discussion about it we decided to stay! Well if anyone knows tonight is the UNC game and McKay is a big big fan especially since it is his favorite team! I thought he might have a hard time wanting to go to the priesthood session tonight! One missing the games and two he was going alone since we decided to stay in STG... but he went alone and missed the games! I am so so proud of him! I am so happy to be married to a man who loves the priesthood and everything about this gospel! I am happy he wants to always hold a worthy recommend! He is amazing and I am so proud of him tonight!!!

.

GO McKAY!!!
