Birthdays & Stuff

Sam finally got his giant trophy for getting superior on all of his federation songs over the years

Max made it to State Solo/Ensemble again and of course got a superior

We all supported Marcus at his division Championship lacrosse game against UVU. It was intense, and fun and we won!




Megan and Johnny trying to read Sam's handwriting. It was hilarious
 
Another yummy marzipan cake for my birthday
For my birthday dinner we got dumplings. Sam made a new record and ate 22

He had to go outside in case he threw up

Prom

Max had prom while we were in St George. We've totally failed him this year, we've only been home for 1 dance this year! But he had a great time with Emma even though it was a crazy day. He was in Logan all day for his piano competition and barely made it home in time to get Emma and go to dinner.






Emma answered Max with hundreds of ducks. They were everywhere. In his room, around the house, outside the house. It was pretty funny


Since Max took pics at the capital and told us how pretty it us we decided to drive down the next day. It was insane! So we found a small, quick parking spot, jumped out and took a couple of selfies. Sam was super happy about it.

Observation Point and a Wedding

We got to go to St. George for a friends wedding that Toby was asked to officiate at. We figured we'd go a day early and knock off another hike I have on my bucket list - Observation Point. You can't get to it inside Zion anymore you have to come at it from the back, at Zion Ponderosa, which makes for a longer drive but a much easier hike. The views made it totally worth it. The rock formation on the right is Angel's Landing, and we were looking down on it. Beautiful!
We're glad Megan's always up for an adventure with us








We also made it to the St. George temple - it's so pretty!

The main event - Mr. & Mrs. Phillips! Toby did a great job officiating
