Leave it to me to finally buy my kids all matching outfits for Easter only to realize that Easter is during conference this year. Oh, well - there are always plenty of opportunities to dress up for church.

Not so spring break and a retaining wall

This week I decided to take the kids and head down to Klamath Falls for spring break. My brother just opened his orthodontic practice down there and we wanted to go check it out. Kevin couldn't go because of work and it was the first time I've driven any where of any distance with all four kids by myself. But I was anxious to see my brother and his family and my mom and stepdad Chuck were driving up from Utah to meet us there. This was what greeted us on the 140. It was beautiful and the there wasn't too much snow on the roads. The kids did terrific! I was so proud of them. We had a good time with my brother and his awesome family and the kids loved seeing grandma and grandpa. We left to return home yesterday morning and there aren't any pictures of 140 this time because I was in panic mode. It was snowing and the road was packed with snow. It was a very scary drive and I was worried we weren't going to make it as we passed a downed tree, a car that had slid off the road, a jack knifed semi and I almost slid into a cliff. Needless to say I will only being visiting Klamath Falls in the summer from here on out.

While I was gone they removed the trees in the back yard and put up the retaining wall. I am a little disappointed about how much of our backyard we lost but what can you do?
