3 Hours in a Car + Eliza=Lots of Sleep

Betsy, Eliza and I just returned from a weekend getaway at Capitol Reef National Park. This was the last National Park in Utah that I had not been to, and yes that meant another stamp in my passport. Hooray! The drive down was a little over three hours long, and our good little Eliza slept for all but about five minutes of that. She did the same for the drive home also. Here are just a couple of pictures.

Can't go to a National Park without taking a picture of the sign.
I learned that from my dad.

Lizzy's second hike was much more successful then her first.
It was still windy, but she was all smiles.

Sometimes when you're hiking you just have to take a break in the rocks.


She enjoyed the Baby Bjorn also. I think she preferred to suck on it
more then she enjoyed the hike.


This is just a nice scenery shot.

Easter

We had a nice Easter at home with family and friends.

We decorated Easter eggs with Lauren and Joey. Lizzy helped.

This is Lizzy's first egg. Dallin helped her with it.


Lizzy and Ali.
Lizzy has recently discovered her hands.
She loves to feel them, as she is doing here.




We put her on the floor next to us during dinner. She kept pulling her dress over her face and making the noised she does when playing peek-a-boo. (Check out the chunky thighs!)


Lizzy's first swing ride. She wasn't too hot on it just yet, but she will be.

Sorry Grandpa Randy

My dad's birthday was on Sunday. It wasn't until Saturday evening that I realized it was his 60th birthday! No one had said anything and I had to do the math myself, then call my sister to make sure it was accurate. So yes, I got my dad six new hankies for his 60th birthday. But we are going to try to get the family together this summer for a bigger celebration, and maybe a family picture.

Happy Birthday Dad!
