THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY.........

THE GOOD = Justin's Baby Blessing March 1st - 5 weeks old - A beautiful day with lots of family and friends and an adorable little boy!!!!!

THE BAD (and good) = A quick trip to southern Utah for "family bonding." Kind of insane to take a one month old - what were we thinking? However we had a FANTASTIC time on our adventures, and had slightly warmer temps than Salt Lake has had, though the nights in the rental with the baby were crazy - again, what were we thinking?

Rachel and Jared before our snow/mud hike of Kolob Canyon (in Zion's National Park)

The sand dunes of Snow Canyon - near St. George

One of the amazing slot canyons - that's me way in the back (with Rachel & Jared) feeding the baby and getting out of the wind.
We saw birds roosting high in the cave nooks, it was pretty cool actually!



Rachel teaching Jared how to skip at one of the wildlife preserves. Life has such sweet moments sometimes that just make you smile.





THE UGLY = The brutality of severe sleep deprivation
The only position that feels good to Justin due to his acid reflux - poor little guy!




The greatest stress releaser of all....


Darren - the day he picked this puppy up in Las Vegas in January.
Nicole is anxiously waiting to acquire her motorcycle license hopefully in April - do you think they let you get one with a baby strapped to your back??? Hmmmm
