Cabinets!

Our BEAUTIFUL cabinets are in! These are like Matt and I's favorite part of the whole house. We are SO excited for them.

This is the little desk built in our kitchen. I am pretty sure I will spending a lot of time there!

Angels Landing

My sweet husband admitted to me last week that before he met me he HATED hiking. He thought it was super boring and would much rather mountain bike or something. Funny because we probably went on like 20 hikes last summer/fall!

But supposedly he likes it pretty well now. Not as much as mountain biking, but enough to ask me if I wanted to go hike Angels Landing in Zion. He said I was getting restless and needed to get out and go camping/hiking.

So we went down to Zion and had a great time. We found the sweetest camping spot ever and had such a blast. We scavenged that fire wood ourselves and chopped it up with our mad skills. I actually fell flat on my butt in the middle of all the wood trying to break some of it up. Matt did a good job of not laughing until he made sure I was going to be okay.

Angels Landing was great. It really kicked my butt, I haven't been an avid worker-outer since I got hitched. Matt hates heights and steep cliffs but he didn't even show it on this hike. He just dominated it! Once we are the top we had a bit to eat and I was all ready to sit back and relax for a while but Matt just wanted to get back down to the ground though!

Here is us on the easy part of the way up...

Here are Walter's Wiggles - a series of 21 switchbacks about halfway up...

Here is one of the many narrow parts of the hike. Only about three feet across...

Easter

We had Easter a week earlier than most people did and I have to tell you I don't mind celebrating my holidays early! Except then I go to the store the day after and think all the stuff is on sale because the holiday is over and it really isn't.

We had fun dying our eggs, fingers, countertops etc. etc.

Nick did pretty good finding all the eggs. He loved the plastic eggs full of M&M's. Strangely enough he didn't eat very many of them but spent all morning playing with them in his dump trucks! Yum!

All Framed!

Yay! Our house is all framed up! It is so exciting to go see it now. Today they started the porch and put most of the windows in. They should have all of the plumbing and electrical done this next week.

Sorry the picture isn't very good. I didn't bring my camera so this was taken with Matt's phone.

Fun Times

Nick is so much fun. I love watching him grow and learn. He knows almost all of his letters and how to count. I didn't teach him any of that but I always quiz him on stuff because I love to see his little brain working and the big smile he has when he gets the right answer.

This past weekend was an eventful one for us. First we went to a Primary Activity where we learned about Easter and then got to make a bug costume. Nick was SO excited about the costume part, he knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted it!

Then later on that night he got the idea to make himself a fort in one of our kitchen cupboards. He is starting to use his imagination a lot and I love it. He was really bummed when we wouldn't let him sleep in the cupboard that night.

When he comes and stays with us during the week I have to go to work so him and dad go sit in the truck and watch our house being built. Sounds boring to me but they sit there for hours sometimes and Nick still cries when they have to leave. He talks about our new house all of the time and seems really excited for it.
