Early Spring, 2017


Mike and Desi took their children to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, for a family reunion with Desi's family.  There were 49 of them together.  Their beach house was right on the beach.


Mike holding Milly, Ivy, Ruby, Mordecai, Emily with Desi behind them.  They are at the Wright Brothers Memorial where the first airplane was flown.  This trip was the children's first airplane flight.


The memorial is at the top of a hill on the actual location.


Mike, Desi and Milly.


 The Atlantic Ocean was only about 50 degrees which surprised Desi.


Mike with his baby Milly.


The days were about 70 degrees--perfect for playing on the beach.




Eleven-month old Milly thinks she can do everything anyone else does.

Ethan loves riding his bike through the rain puddles.  Kentucky had an extra rainy spring and a tornado touched down near their home but fortunately with little damage.


Ethan loves books!

John does well on his Strider (balance) bike.  


The backyard sandbox continues to provide hours of creative play for everyone.

Lillian coloring a picture at Grandma and Grandpa's.  The girls love to chose a picture, print it, then color it with markers.


Talisa, Lillian, Grant and James.  Talisa will be getting her braces off soon.  


Spring in Utah is very variable.  One day we might have snow and the next day enjoy 70 degree temperatures.  This March was very unusual because there was 3 inches of rain instead of the usual one inch.
 Temple Square

 Beautiful, sweet smelling gardens.


All of these flowers will be replaced in a few weeks with summer flowers.  We love working on Temple Square!!!
