Well we decided that since it's freezing in SLC we would take off for Phoenix for spring break week. Jenn drove down last week with her parents and the nieces, and Brian flew down last Friday after a midterm. It was great, we were able to soak up some sun, also we were able to take Olivia, Hailey and Austin to their first major league baseball game to watch the Mariners play the D-backs at spring training. It was a great, well needed break in the middle of a killer semester. Right now we are sitting in the airport waiting for our flights back to the cold, and school.

Olivia and Hailey come for a visit.....
Well it has been a long time since the last blog....but we're back! This last week has been a busy one. Jenn's sister's girls came up to stay with us for a week. We had a blast, first order of business was to take them up to the mountains. Since they have lived in Phoenix since they were really small they really haven't had a chance to play in the snow. So we took them up to Brian's family's cabin up near Park City. We even convinced Jenn's parents who were in town as well to brave the cold and come up as well. We had a great time riding snow mobiles, sledding, and playing in the snow. In all honesty I think the girls ate more snow than they played in. It seemed that every time we looked their way they were sitting in the snow, chowing down. We even took them sledding for the first time ever. We went to a small, but pretty steep hill. After a few runs of us riding with the girls we convinced Olivia to go alone. Brian promised that he would stop her before she hit the jump at the bottom...unfortunately he misjudged how fast she would go and instead of stopping her he just knocked her off her sled, check out the video below...
The next day we decided that we would take the girls to the local swimming pool. It's a pretty sweet indoor pool that has water slides, a lazy river, a whirlpool are, and tons of pipes that shoot out water. We had a great time swimming in perfect warm water while it was freezing outside.
During the rest of the week the girls were kept super busy by going to the children's museum, going to the movies, feeding the ducks, playing in the park, and eating their weight in candy. It was great to have them up here with us since we hardly get to see them.
