EASTER WITH THE KEMPTONSWe had a lot of fun with the Kempton clan on Easter Saturday. Great food, great company, and the Easter bunny CAME! I love Easter! We all got fun stuff in our baskets and way too much candy.

Happy Easter
OUR ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY GETAWAYSteven and I were able to getaway for a few days for our anniversary. We have done this since our 1st anniversary and it has since become a tradition that we both look forward to every year. This year we got a hotel through priceline. We bid a really low price and didn't think any hotel would accept it. We were wrong. We were both a little nervous to see what hotel accepted our offer. But then we were pleasantly surprised when we saw that we were staying at a Point Hilton Resort. We were both so excited to stay at a really nice Resort. We were even more excited when we saw the resort. Then the best thing happened. Steven went to check in and being the person that he is asked the lady checking us in if she would do a free upgrade since it was our anniversary. SHE DID!! We ended up staying in their nicest, most expensive room! It was amazing. Besides the whole resort thing, the best part was spending time together ALONE! It was so relaxing. We went to lunch, dinner, went shopping, went to the movies, we even had Robert and Amber come and hang out with us one night at the resort. It is very reassuring that after 8 years of marriage we still can't spend enough time together. We have so much fun hanging out and most importantly we laugh all the time.


This is my effort trying to get Steven to take a cute picture. What a pose!

Check out the hotel room. You should have seen it in person. It was so nice and HUGE. We kept having to pinch ourselves to realize we weren't dreaming.


We hiked up the mountain that was behind the resort. It was so beautiful to look out at the city. Steven and I loved just sitting up on top of the mountain breathing in the fresh air.


OUR HOTEL STAY WITH THE KIDS
The resort was so nice and the pool was really kid friendly we decided to extend our stay one night and have our kids come stay with us at the resort. They were super excited. Cody and Brittany Smith and their kids came and spent the day with us swimming. The kids had a blast. Our kids loved staying at the hotel. They thought it was so cool!


Mikelle, Kayla, and Crew loving the pool

Katon loving the water slide. It is fun with his age (and the fact that he is a good kid) because I can pretty much trust him to go and do his own thing. (with limits of course) He found a friend and they just kept going down the slide together. He had a lot of fun!

The dads and kids. Although the pool was somewhat heated it was still a little to cold for Brittany and I. But we had fun sticking our feet in!
EASTER PAGEANT
The Easter Pageant was amazing! It helped that we were sitting directly in the middle on the second row. Talk about great seats. I have never sat that close and it made such a difference. Thanks to my father in law for going at 4:00 to get seats. My bother and sister in law, the Picos, and three of their kids were apart of it. They did such a great job. I am always amazed at the whole production. It is incredible!


Me and my cute niece Anne
BOWLING
We went out on a date with my cousin and his wife. We went to dinner and then went to rock and bowl. We bowled for two hours and laughed the whole time. Surprisingly Steven beat all of us. He must have hidden talents that I don't know about.

Steven was a little bummed with that bowl but we were all happy because he was a bowling pro that night.

This is my cousins wife Stacey who had a smile the whole time because she kept bowling strikes! Not kidding...

This is my cousin Rocky who was obviously pleased with his strike!
PICNIC AT THE PARKWe went to the park one day and had a picnic with my family. The weather was so nice. It had been a while since my kids had been to a park since for the last several months parks in Flagstaff have been covered in snow. I can't tell you how much fun they had, we all had! It was a fun day!



Just a random picture of my silly kids
