Easter 2014

We had an awesome Easter this year. We headed down to southern utah to stay with Bryan's brother and his wife's family. 

Eli did fantastic on the drive down. Except for getting car sick several times. But what is a car trip with out barfing! 


We stopped in Monticello before heading to the ranch. Bryan and Greg did a quick round of golf. Eli carried a golf club with him the whole time! 


Once we made it down we headed out to hunt for wild asparagus. Usually we find enough for the whole family to have a dinner of asparagus on toast ;) but there was none to be found this week. 


The first day there Eli didn't want to nap so Greg tried to swing him to sleep. He eventually fell asleep but not after this scowl. 


Eli warmed up quickly to Grandma Redd (probably because she took him for lots of 4 wheeler rides)

These two were inseparable. They are 9 months apart and I hope they stay best friends as they grow up. 

I learned a new craft too! I made my first Ukrainian egg. It was soo cool. It consists of drawing a pattern with wax, dipping the egg in dye, adding more wax and continue dipping and waxing. Then you melt the wax off to find this awesome design. It was so fun. 



The Easter bunny visited Eli but he didn't get too excited about the few little toys. He's a pretty simple fellow. 





After church we had an Easter egg hunt. Eli caught on quick to the idea and loved finding them in the yard! 





"Wait, there is something in these?!"

This little boy was right at home getting dirty and dusty all day long. It was a very peaceful place and did our hearts good to get out of the city!

  1. you did a great job to capture a little of the beauty of southern utah in your pictures. how i love it. how i miss it. it looks like eli felt right at home, whether he was feeding the bulls, or playing with libby, or being loved by grandma redd. you guys had a great spring vacation and a splendid break from the valley and the time went by way to fast for sure. its nice that going to the ranch is only a few hours drive, not a whole plane trip away. enjoy it every time you can.
