A much needed vacation!

As i write this post my kids are up to no good. They have been sent to their room for the night and I hear crashing which I am sure are toys falling from the closet because there is no crying afterwards. I am trying to remind myself to breathe in and out. Tomorrow will be better.. Last week we took a much needed vacation to St. George we rented a nice condo that had two pools and two hot tubs. It was a really dead time in that area so we had the pools pretty much to ourselves. On the first day there we met up with Julia and her family. She and Jonah were in K and first grade together. We went to In and Out and then we went swimming at our condo. The kids had a ball. day two we went to zions and we just got there and I rolled my ankle and popped a blood vessel on the top of my foot so we took it slow that day. But the sights were beautiful and the kids loved looking for animals. We saw turkeys, lizards, squirrels, and two fuzzy caterpillars. We then went to Springdale to have lunch at a little diner named Blondies which was next to a elk farm, which incidently served elk burgers.. ( Brick thought the Elk were camels) Henry got pooped on by a bird while walking to the car. We learned that Henry tends to hold his breath like Brick when he gets hurt. ( Brick chucked a toy at him and hit him in the head poor kid didn't even see it coming) That Brick and his throwing arm. We went back to the condo and swam. It was nice not having the stress of day to day activites that I encounter. Henry became a thumb sucker which is really cute. On friday we were able to meet up with my aunt and uncle and have lunch at their house. We had some awesome sandwiches from a place called Capriottis which was sooooo good. Saturday we went to Snow canyon. It was pretty the kids had fun on the sand dunes. I am at a loss of words it must be the all night feeding I have been giving henry!! He is w whopping 18 lbs!

William...Boston (our 6 year old) was asking us how you can tell the difference between a crystal and a diamond. We couldn't answer, but we said Uncle William would know. If you could enlighten us, you would make Boston a very happy boy.
Your family is so cute. We can't believe how big Jonah is.
