conference, egg hunt, and skiing in a day

We started our Saturday with Cinnamon rolls, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Our family spent the morning together listening to Conference and enjoyed it so much. During the break we went to see a home, and then went to Carlie's and Jeffrey's home to see all of their sprinkler ditches. We ate an awesome lunch together and then Carlie hid candy eggs for the boys to find. Really, she is an exceptional aunt! Kimball was focused on ONE thing that day, and it was skiing with his family- so on to Alta we headed. BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! I love skiing in April- truly.
Out for the hunt.


Talmage woke up from his nap with all the hubub and Kimball took him
around and he'd grab the eggs.
I've said it before, kids MAKE any holiday or occasion!

Then to the slopes. Like I said, it was sunny and beautiful, but that also meant muddy ski boots to clean after. Look how little Andrew's boots are!!
We took Andrew 1 time last year on April 30th and he only got about 20 minutes with Kimball. We treated this as Andrew's real 1st time. HE DID SO AWESOME!! Kimball manned Andrew and I manned Benson. We went down the hill, and then up the tow rope over and over.

After I'd taken Benson down twice Kimball said, "Erica he can ski by himself." I let him go from then on and I just skied behind him. He did so so awesome. I'd just tell him turn left, turn right, french fries, pizza. ALL of the boys had a really great time and unfortunately got a bit too much sun on their faces. I had a really great time too, especially seeing Andrew's amazing progress and Benson be so independent. Then it was on to dinner time, Priesthood session and time with family.
