Easter, "Variety Show", Moonwalking, Beautiful Zion's, Soccer!

April recap time! So much to report!

Toby playing soccer on beautiful Pineview High field (there is a beautiful panaramic view from that field) Toby is having a blast, 4th season on Dixie Fire!

Zion's! We had a wonderful mini vacation to Zion's this past weekend. Wow- the park was busy! We were still able to find some solitude on the trails. The weather could not have been more perfect!


Upper Emerald Pools. Toby's getting as tall as me! I guess I really need to stand up "tall" in family pictures now!


Toby contemplating at "the pool"

"Arielle, don't get your shoes wet"...Yah, right

Formulating a plan

Tough Guys

Ok, so confession time...this Zion's mini vacation was kinda planned around a run! Gorgeous 10k through Zion's to celebrate their Centennial. Here's my running buddies! Love these gals! (Missed Heather, Buff & Stephanie!)

Right after the race, hence the red face. They gave out cool medals!

Toby & Seth "MCing" the Primary Variety Show

Seth & Toby also played a musical number, here they are with all their groupies!

Time for 80's flashbacks! One day after church we were goofing around and started teaching the kids to Moonwalk! I know you're digging those blue socks. They were a present from Lybster, love 'em!

Notice Jim's pointer- this is a very serious part of the lesson

Jim decided to throw in some robot man moves

Easter Morning. It was weird not being with family this Easter. We had a nice, quiet holiday- but missed everyone!

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt (Kylee & Arielle)

Sara! Thanks to Des & Sara for planning the Egg Hunt. The party went on, despite the rain.

Rainy Egg Hunt, still tons of fun. Toby & Jim were at Toby's soccer game.

Silly Girl

Toby's taking a Home Economics class at school which he loves! On this day he decided to make a Strawberry Smoothie for us that he learned in class. (Yah, Jim looks awesome in this pic)

My Boy Scout

Toby earned his Tenderfoot at a court of honor at the park last week. Here he is pictured with Brother Patterson. He is always teasing the boys and playing around with them. Toby remembers coming home from a campout and Bro. Patterson ran over a diamond back snake, then proceeded to get out of the car and remove the rattle for a keepsake. Yeah, he's one of those crazy, fun leaders! He seems to have boundless energy and patience for the boys. Thank goodness for men like him. Here's what Toby had to learn to get his Tenderfoot:

basic overnight camping skills, first aid and how to take care of the flag (these are just a few). The campouts are Toby's favorite part of scouting!
