Spring Break

We started our celebration of Easter early by letting the girls wear their new Easter dresses the Sunday before Easter, since Easter was General Conference.

4 Cool Girls

Then that week, we got a huge dump of snow.


For spring break, we went to Wyoming to visit Les & Hollis and family for Easter weekend.
Austin played cops and robbers with the kids all morning while we waited for Les to come back home from work.

For our Easter celebration, we painted Easter eggs, the Easter bunny came, and we went to the Padlock Ranch Easter picnic and Easter egg hunt.




The next day Austin, Jill and Hanna helped Les move cows.

Hanna got to ride Cookie.

Hollis and I took them lunch. This is a true cowboy picnic.

Then on the way home from our visit, we got stuck in Rawlins, Wyoming, for 24 hours because they closed the roads because of a snow storm. We waited in the car for 4 hours thinking they might reopen. Then we went to get a hotel room. We got one of the last in town and would have slept in the car if we had waited 15 more minutes.

We enjoyed our bright yellow cinderblock room with broken bedframes and a big screen tv:)
At least we had a place to stay, we kept telling ourselves.

Canada - Hanna's Birthday

In March, we took a last-minute trip to Canada. Austin had job interviews for 2 of 3 open principal positions in Cardston, Alberta. After the first interview, they called him and said they wanted him to also interview for the third open position. So after interviewing 3 times in 24 hours, we felt like they liked him and we would like it there, but that he would more likely get a vice principal position after the shuffle took place. Then to our surprise, we were almost to Helena, Montana, and the superintendent called and offered him the position of Cardston Junior High Principal.

So we are moving to Canada!

The beginning of our journey home from Canada - clean faces, smiles, neatly combed hair

Near the end of our journey home from Canada - going crazy, dirty faces, fuzzy hair

The day we were in Cardston staying with Grandpa and Grandma Nunn, we celebrated Hanna's 9th birthday. We went to the Dollar Store, rode horses with Grandpa, and went to see Grandpa & Grandma's new house. Then we ate French Toast and bacon for dinner which is what Hanna requested. Then we enjoyed some delicious, fat-free, low-calorie ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.

Happy Birthday Hanna! We love you!
