Moab
We drove 7 1/2 hours to Moab Utah for Easter weekend and had a great time with family! We drove Thursday and got to play all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and drove back on Monday morning. It was a quick trip but super fun to see Bob's Dad, brother Bill and his family Lorinda, Kai & Koa, brother Ben and his family Melissa & Braden, and Karen drove up for the last day.
Friday morning Bob, Jackson, and went to Arches and hiked Delicate Arch. It was a great 3 mile round trip hike. It was so beautiful to see the red rock with the snowy mountains behind it!
Granola bar in hand and juice in the other...he was good to go!
Jackson slept the whole way down
Fighting to stay awake...
...he finally gave up
There was a big Jeep Safari that occurs every year for 2 weeks in Moab. There were Jeeps everywhere!!! It was super fun to walk the streets and see decked out Jeeps! Bob's dad has a Jeep and has really enjoyed off roading. He has been to Moab the last few years and really enjoys the trails so we thought we would join him. Friday and Sunday they went on long 8+ hour trips but on Saturday they only did like a 5 hour and it was by far the safest of the weekend so we all tagged along and had a blast!!!
The group of Jeepers that Dave travels with
Melissa, Braden, Jackson, and I rode with Dave. The Jeep rocked the boys to sleep the first couple hours
This picture does not do this place justice but here is "Wipe Out Hill"
Most of us walked up the hill and let the drivers go
Only 1 Jeep in our group didn't make it up the hill on it's own. It broke some piece trying to get up a rock and they had to wench it up. Then it only had 2 wheel drive the rest of the way back so we had to pull it in a couple other spots too.
Easter
The kids loved their Easter baskets (OK maybe the mom's loved their baskets and the boys loved what was in the baskets).
Jackson loved the chocolate!!!
We went to church and then all enjoyed a short hike through the Windows section of Arches
Seriously not a fan of this picture. Could my belly look any bigger!?!? I feel like all of a sudden I just popped out!!! I guess I have less than 7 weeks left so I am supposed to be big, but seriously, yuck.
We let Jack get out a walk the last little bit before we strapped him back in the car seat
Love this picture!!

Happy Birthday Bob!!
April 2nd
Bob's Grandma Griffiths came to visit us this year for Bob's birthday and for the Easter Pageant at the temple. We had so much fun with her here!!! Jackson loved playing with her and she just could not get over the weather. We spent most of the week outside playing!
Bob had to work on his birthday, but met him for lunch...
Jackson was asleep when we got there
Then poor Bob had to go back to work but Grandma, Jackson, and I went to the train park
We had a small BBQ for dinner
Hope you had a great Birthday Bob!!! I love you! Thanks for being such a great husband and "dada"!!!
Ostrich Festival
Oh probably a month ago there was a Ostrich Festival in Chandler that we decided to hit up. We had a great time with Ang, Austin, and Brody, and Dave, Liz, and Dax.
Dax and Jackson...best friends
Our family
Austin won a free pony ride for helping out during the Ostrich Races. Pretty cute!
Ang, Austin, and Brody
The boys
Jackson LOVES his cousins!!!

Jackson enjoying some ice cream
About a month ago Jackson had a couple of days that he was super tired (which is not like him!!) and he kept falling asleep before I put him down for a nap...
Jackson still loves to play at the mall. And now he loves it even more since he has mastered climbing the baseball glove and ball
Sexy...I know. I can't even remember what happened but we were going to put pajamas on Jack one night and he started running around with just his socks and shoes on. In the second picture he is showing us his muscles. :)
We had a super fun visit from the Hirschi's this month! My cousin Mark came to town for a racquetball tournament at ASU and it was super fun to go and watch! We got to spend some time together eating out and hanging out watching conference. It was great to see you Hirschis!!!
Bob put Kim's jacket on Jackson
The Flakes also came to town a couple weeks ago and we spent some time at the zoo and at the park.
