Dam!

Tia Dia hooked us up with tickets to tour the Hoover Dam.  It was great.  I had not been since elementary school, or even since the bridge was completed.

poor Mac with his burned cheeks

After we stopped at Capriottis for lunch.  We took a sandwich to Dia at her work.

Angus vs. Baby Powder

Jens and Mac wanted Angus to smell better.  They tried baby powder.

Festival of Colors

We went to the Festival of Colors and it was AWESOME!!! I loved it, I am so glad we went.

The before picture

MJ thought this was so awesome.  She didn't want it to come off, so she held her hand like this for a while.

I hope we can do this again.  But, next time, we will go first thing in the day.  It was so incredibly crowded, and even more so when we left.  I would make sure to bring towels to put in the car for the ride home.

Soccer!

Mark managed to score some box seats to the Real soccer game.  It was a lot of fun.  I was so glad we were in the box because it was Freezing! Sam and Dia got to go too.

Tubing

We got these groupons for tubing in Midway.  We didn't have an opportunity to use them until the very last day possible.  So we made the trek.  Most (if not all) of the snow was made snow.  It was super slushy, but we made the best of it.  Most of the runs we slowed to a stop half way down.  Mac was too little to go down the hill, but he was quite a little trooper and just hung out in the tube.

I don't think Jens had to walk once.  She was pulled every where

Note to self.  Next year, go earlier in the year.
After we stopped at the Dairy King.  Mac thought it was amazing because they had trains.  The rest of us liked it because it had an awesome soda machine.

And another hike on the red rocks

Before we left St. George we went on another hike.

Great Gpa Hersch

We decided it would be fun to go Great Gpa Hersch and warm up a bit.  We headed to St. George for the weekend.  It was a bonus that Grandpa, Amooh and Clark came too!  And while we were there Uncle Brad, Aunt Mia and their kids came too.  

a little hike on the Red Mountains

While Mac and the Grandparents took a nap, we went for a little hike.

Valentines Day 2012

I made conversation heart notes (with Jens help) for valentines day.  I thought they were fun,

Isnt that a super cute mail box? Is that sewn? Why yes it is.  And guess who sewed it? Mark and Me! one of those good ideas at first.  We did 28 of them.

Happy #2 Mac attack!

Maceee boy turned two!! I say Everyone needs to have a kid like him.  He is sweeter than pie.  He is

starting to talk and we love to try and figure it out.  His favorite color is yellow- well, that is to say everything is yellow. If he has the choice he says yellow!  He loves to sing happy birthday.  His favorite thing to eat is pasta, and candy (he signs for the candy).  He loves to ride bikes and shovel the snow.

He loves attention from the girls.  Even if it means having to be dressed up in their clothes :)
