Weekend house guests and good pizza

Court and Nan came up and stayed with us for a few days.  It sure was fun to have visitors and get to show them around our side of town :)

We took them out for pizza at one of our favorite places called Arella.  That is one thing I love about living somewhere new is that you get to discover all the fun little places you wouldn't have ever known about before.  And after living here for 4 years I must say I have a lot of favorite places! :)

The weather was pretty wet so we stayed inside mostly and watched old bonanza reruns with lots of goodies. It sure was a good time and one that I hope happens again.. . very soon. :)

Happy Easter

It was so cute to watch all the kids run around the yard and collect their baskets of eggs.  Holidays have an added measure of sparkle for kids and I love watching it through their eyes. I will never get tired of that :)  And thanks to the special Easter bunny who decorated our yard with eggs!  It was such a fun surprise to come home to! 

Beautiful St. George

Blue Angels air show spectacular

Last weekend we traveled to down to St. George with the Bunkers for an airshow featuring the Blue Angels.

It was amazing to watch the precision of them flying through the air and watching them fly so close without bumping into each other.  The formations were incredible and I had always heard how neat it was, but watching them in person was truly an experience.

We heard from someone that in order to stay conscious the whole time during the flight that they needed to do different breathing techniques and keep their body flexed and rigid to avoid passing out. I couldn't believe the talent those pilots had.  It was impressive!

They even had a wing walker there and the whole time I was nervous holding my breath she wouldn't fall.  You couldn't pay me to walk out on the wings of an airplane while it was up in the air!

The temperature was perfect but it got a little bit windy near the end. The little ones had gotten tired and so had we so decided to head out.  As we started to leave a huge dust storm caught us and everyone else by surprise. It was definitely an adventure and we had such a good time.

An especially { Green } lunch

We took Nan downtown to enjoy everything green for a special St. Patty's day lunch last week.  The Lion house is always enticing so there we went!

We almost died laughing when someone tried to "pinch" Nan for not wearing green.  She then told everyone that since her last name is Green that means she doesn't need to wear the color! Oh my goodness it was hilarious :)
