YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE.....!

IT IS SPRING BREAK!!!!! TIME TO DO SOMETHING WILD AND CRAZY AND TOTALLY SELF-FULFILLING! TIME TO GET ON A PLANE AND HEAD SOUTH!!! Chelsea, Jack and I left SLC in a middle of a blizzard on the 13th (they even had to de-ice the wings before we could take off) and flew up above the storm and into blue, blue skies. We have had nothing but sunny weather ever since! Giselle picked us up in Phoenix 2 hours later and we began our self-indulgence!

Jack hanging out in the airport sitting on his own pull-baggage!

Rajko's birthday celebration was Sunday and Giselle made these cutest, little monkey cakes and cupcakes for the party. Lary cooked brats and we all enjoyed the pool and sunshine!


Look at that beautiful, little one-year old face!

Two of the most beautiful mommies in the world and their little ones.

Jack taking a turn at the monkey pinata!

Rajko will take a crack at the ole monkey too!

The birthday was like Christmas all over again for Rajko!

Noah and Giselle are thrilled to be the parents of this little guy!

Chelsea and Giselle give Jack a "whew" as high as they can!

Those two little girls are still as cute as ever!

The boys love each other and enjoy each other's company and help!

Jack is glad to show Rajko how it's done!

The week is young and there is still plenty of territory to cover for us! We have shopped, eaten, shopped, eaten, visited Sharee, the temple and the dentist. We still have to go to the zoo, museum, the rehearsal of the Easter pageant and spend the day at Sharee and Matt's swimming and visiting with Joni and her kids too. We missed Tenille and Missy, between our appointments. Party on -- Tere's cooking is glorious!

I love love love all the pictures of your partying fun! So even though we were wishing you were here all week to take care of us, I'm glad you got to get out and have fun in the sunshine with Giselly and big boy Rajko. Can't wait to see and hear about all the rest of the big fun.

Perfect Spring Break. I thnk that flying there makes it even better. It is so hard to imagine the sun and warmth at this point and time while we sit here with snow and cold. I have really missed my mommy this week during my "recovery", but I can't tell you how glad I am that you went on a well deserved vacation. And to think, my vacation this year consist of pulling a hand cart across Wyoming! I wish I was as young and "little" as those beautiful girls!

Oh Mom, this has been such a wonderful week and exactly what I have needed. Thanks for the the nice things you have said about me in your post, and ALL the help you have been giving me with Jack this week. This has been a perfect spring break!

What a fun week! I sure could use a little of that right now, but actually I am beginning to think it is spring here... it was almost 50 degrees! Jack looks SO big in that first picture. Holy cow, these little one grow fast. I wish that we could all be together more and be on a permanent Spring Break.

I agree with Olivia - permanent Spring Break sounds wonderful! Mom... I can never thank you enough for coming to visit me. I hope that you had fun, although I am sorry that you weren't able to get more a tan. I'm sure you'll have some time of your own to be in your garden getting a wonderful tan at home this summer, though. Thank you thank you thank you. I can't even describe how it feels to have my mommy here. I love you so much and I miss you already.

What a fun little vacation! Looks like you guys had a blast and how fun for Chelsea and Giselle to get to spend sometime together. I am so jealous of the nice weather down there. It needs to make its way up here!
