Who can catch the laser?


This is not an awesome picture but I just had to share what happened Easter Sunday in the evening when we went to my grandparents for dinner. Three of my cousins were there and we were all getting ready to leave so we were standing in the entry way. Well for Christmas I got shaun this laser/flashlight keychain (rethinking the decision), and he has had fun in the past teasing cats and dogs by moving the laser all around the ground real fast, while we watched them try and chase down the little red light. I mentioned to him that I thought it would be funny to see if it worked with kids, so while we were all standing in the entry way what did Shaun do....he started moving the laser all around the floor, and it started with one child, then two, then all three were actively chasing and trying to catch the small red light. You can't see the light or the children that well in this picture, but it is funny just to see them all huddled close together on the floor. I really should have video taped this but I didn't catch it in time. We sound so terrible, but these kids are so adorable and they just made all of us adults laugh so hard!

The Hill


This isn't even the steep part!

Crazy man in a Rail


There was this awesome rail that was being driven by Mr. Crazy himself! There is this steep mountain that riders LOVE to go up, but only certain things can make it all the way up, Rails being one of them. This particular Rail looked awesome and the guy driving was doing some stunning tricks. This video doesn't do him justice but it is a glimpse of how awesome he was.


Sand Dunes and awesome fun!

Shaun and Jada getting ready for a wild ride in the Rhino!!
This little girl drives fast!! HOLD ON!!
I was holding on for dear life! Jada drove better, and faster then I did! She was so much fun to ride with though.

























Shaun and I had the opportunity to take a short weekend trip to the Sand Dunes and spend all day Saturday with friends. We had so much fun and it was nice to take a break and get out of town and away from work. We spent the day Saturday riding ATV's, and the Rhino(the thing I am sitting in). I'm definitely opening up more to my adventurous side and I find myself wanting to go camping more and I enjoy playing with big toys! I am still a little bit of a scaredy cat and I chickened out on riding a "big person" ATV and settled for the ATV built for a small child. Shaun, however enjoyed riding around on the ATV you see him sitting on, and started to get daring. It was cold, and it rained, but we enjoyed ourselves, being in good company, and eating good food!

Easter Baskets!

I love Easter! I love celebrating the true meaning of Easter, I love the candy, I love putting together baskets, I love that it means spring time, I love everything about it!!! This year I put together Easter baskets for Shaun and I, and I gave Shaun his early since we will be going camping and driving home on Sunday. I know we are adults now and married, but I grew up in a home with brothers and sister quite a bit younger then me and holidays are still a big thing, and a lot of fun in my family. I don't remember an Easter where my parents didn't have baskets, so if you think it is lame that we had Easter baskets, I am sorry but I say you only live once, and everyone needs a little candy! 


Draper Temple

This is a picture of the Draper Temple from the bus that we rode up in to visit the temple for the open house. This Temple is absolutely amazing, just like all the other temples that are put on this earth. I am so grateful to live in a valley where so many temples surround me. Shaun and I got to go through the open house together, with some family, and look at how beautiful the inside is. This is my third open house that I have had the opportunity to go to. I love temples and the blessing we receive when we go to the temple.

A Typical Day in the Hill Family house














I am pretty sure Shaun was not thrilled I was camera happy and wanting to take a picture of him! Hehe, Shaun and I like to trade off, sometimes I like to be silly and he puts on his serious face!

A Fabulous day at the ZOO!!!!



When Shaun and I took a short trip to California we had the opportunity to visit the L.A. Zoo with Shaun's dad, and his dad's good friend Sue. The zoo was so much fun, and brought back a lot of good memories of family trips, and field trips. The men had fun pretending their was a baby in the stroller we rented to hold our cooler, and purses (the girls purses) and would let it go down hills chasing it all the way down, and running the stroller in to walls. We had a few people thinking we were crazy and some even got up to save the runaway stroller. After awhile Sue and I just pretended we had no idea who they were. It was a fabulous day!!
