Happy Easter!

Zach celebrating his 2nd Easter with Grandma and Grandpa Low. (His first was when he was 3 days old.) Anyway, he loves those guys . . . and their toys! We had such a great time in Cardston being with family, playing, relaxing, and pondering the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are VERY blessed.

We spent Easter at the Low's in Cardston. Here Zach is showing his bunny teeth.

Zach loved to play with the toys. They were all toys that Justin and the other kids played with when they were young. It was a trip down memory lane!
Here we are dying Easter eggs. I love doing this! Let the creative juices-and dyes-flow!
Zach loved carrying the eggs around. He smashed this one pretty good! Justin didn't mind because then he got to eat it.

Zach and Justin's Easter basket.
The Easter Bunny is REAL! I forgot to bring my basket down to Cardston that I have had every Easter I can remember. I realized this in the car on the way down there and was a little sad. Nevertheless, Easter morning I searched for a generic basket with my name on it...and there it was! MY basket! With tons of delicious candy in it. Yum. THANK YOU EASTER BUNNY!

Wii Would Like to Play!

Here we are bowling with Grandma and Grandpa Low and Uncle Will and Aunt Shirley on the Wii down in Cardston. It was tons of fun. We have got to get one of those!

Cross Country Skiing in Waterton National Park

Woo hoo, this is fun!

Once we got up to Cameron Lake, Karen's ancient boot broke, (she lost her sole...tee hee!). Luckily there were some real live Canadian Rangers there to save us. They taped her boot back together with electrical tape. On the way back her other boot broke! Too bad there weren't any rangers then!
Here are the snow bunnies eating lunch after we arrived at Cameron Lake.
This is Justin's Dad walking on water...okay, snow over the ice of Cameron Lake. It was beautiful!Justin and I water skiing on Cameron Lake in the winter...aka cross country skiing.
Here is Justin posing with a hot pink marshmellow. You don't see one of those everyday! The Gang...Karen, Dad Low, Amelia, and Justin
Justin's attempt to make a snowman head out on the lake. It wasn't snowman snow I guess.

Here is our snowman in the middle of the lake. We gave up and left.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well, I almost did it! I wasn't going to make a theme dinner like I planned to. I just didn't feel like it and then thought I ran out of time. We all wore green, isn't that enough? (Zach had a green stripe on his shirt, I promise!) But then when Justin came home I could see the disappointment on his face, so I whipped out the dye and made Swedish meatballs, my Grandma Jo's recipe complete with green mushroom soup sauce, green boiled potates, and green peas. Our milk was even green! Now that I look bck on it, I am glad I didn't miss that opportunity!

Wacky Zachy!

Okay, this picture might be really sad, but it was als really funny. Zach was waking up from his nap sounding really frustrated so I went in there to get him. He had taken off his shirt partway and his head was inside the arm of his pajamas! During the time I ran to get the camera, he got his head out, it was really funny though!
Here is Zach being a big boy watching Baby Einstein's Old McDonald's Farm DVD.

Our Zachy Door and the Spinning Video

Here is Zach exploring the house. I am looking through the basement door at him through the cat door that the previous owners made from the basement to the main floor. It it pretty cute on the other side of the door. They surrounded it with brown crown moulding to make it fancy!

Here is the video I promised from our Florida trip!

Florida in February!

Well, Justin had the week off of school, so we had the chance to get away from the snow and ice winds one more time to visit my Grandma Jo in Florida. It was fun to introduce her to Justin and Zach. My mom met us there too, so we all had a great time in the pool, on the beach, in a lighthouse, at the Space Center, and on a pontoon boat. I realized that I managed to be away from the Canadian winter for 1 whole month! 3 weeks in CA at Christmas and now 1 week in Florida. That is the way to cope! :) Enjoy! He ate breakfast on her back porch almost every morning. He loved being outside. It was a whole new world! Her back porch is netted in so the Florida bugs stay out. She had a canal in her backyard where alligators and turtles live. She also had a yummy orange tree and grapefruit tree on her property. It was so fun, quiet (when Zach was sleeping) and relaxing!
The closest we got to snow all week! It was great! Zach liked the pool! He even has little swim trunks!We had a delicious dinner with Grandma Jo, Aunt Dot, Mom, Justin, Zach, Me, and My mom's cousin Greg and his wife Cindy.
Spoiled, happy Zach eating Grandma Jo's famous cherry chocolate cake.
Sorry Mom, but I couldn't resist. Here is my mom as the epitome of TOURIST. This is a great picture. This is outside the Space Center

Zach at the space center trying to take the hat away.
Zach teaching me about the universe.

Zachy's first taste of crab legs! What took us so long, you ask? I guess we just deprive him a little bit.

The view from our hotel in Daytona Beach. It was right on the Atlantic Ocean.

Zach and Grandma on Daytona Beach

The Ponce de Leon lighthouse near Daytona Beach that we climbed. That is 203 stairs to the top!

The daunting task. If you go fast, you get dizzy.

It was quite windy at the top. It was a welcome, refreshing wind though.

You really can still drive on the beach. It was fun. An ice cream truck on the beach! What more could you ask for!

There were thousands of birds onthe beach. I put on a hat and ran through them. We have a video, maybe I will post it. Only later did we find out that Daytona is a bird sanctuary and we weren't supposed to do that! Whoops!

We went on a pontoon boat ride through the inlets of the Gulf with my mom's cousin Greg. It was so fun! We saw a lot of dolphins and some really cool shells.
Zach enjoying the pontoon ride. I can't believe he is almost 1!
Here is a four generation picture: My mom, Grandma Jo, Me, and Zach Justin and his new friend. This bird would hang out on the beach waiting for the fishermen to throw him a fish. We named him Egbert.
Wow, look at that water! I thought the Gulf was dirty.

Justin burying Zach.

Poor Guy, I think he rubbed sand in his eyes!

The Beach Babes and a Baby:

Mom, Zach, and I on the beach. You can see my shoulders starting to sizzle!Zach's full body shot. I love those trunks on him!
Our last day there. We had a little beach photo shoot.
On our flight home we had a layover in Minneapolis. My Great Aunt Sam and Joanne came to see us at the airport and brought us a delicious lunch. It was so good to see them!
