Lee's Ferry

After our trip to Zion we spent the day fly fishing on the Colorado River at Lee's Ferry.  It was beautiful!  Lee's Ferry is the spot where rafter start their trip down the Grand Canyon.  You can see that our fishing spot was surrounded by red cliffs--it was so pretty!  Joey was like a kid in a candy store and didn't want to leave.  :)  But the vacation had to end after about eight hours on the water and a four hour drive home. 

This weekend we get to go visit my parents in La Quinta.  My dad hasn't met Owen yet so we are excited for them to get to meet each other, and to get to spend a relaxing weekend with my parents.  Then after this weekend I am back to work.  I've been practicing getting up at 5 AM and it is brutal.  :)  I am going to miss my days at home with Owen for sure. 

Here are some pics from Lee's Ferry:

Owen was pretty tired after eight hours of fishing :)

Zion

We spent Easter weekend in Zion National Park in Utah.  It was amazing.  Unfortunately our camera must have had something on the lens and didn't take very clear pictures during our weekend.  I've posted some anyway and it gives you an idea of what we experienced.  :)

Happy Easter Week!

Owen is already 7 weeks old today!  I have been having fun hanging out with him at home and I am already getting sad about having to go back to work in a week and a half.  I could get used to getting to be with Owen all day! 

We had dinner last night with our friends Michael, Alyssa and their son Caden.  Alyssa is going to be taking care of Owen for the month of May while I go back to work.  She was the first person that I thought of to take care of Owen--so I am so thankful that she is going to be able to!

Joey and I are looking forward to Easter this year.  We are going to be headed to Zion National Park and Lee's Ferry.  I'll be sure to post some pictures when we get back.  :)

Happy Easter everyone!!




 

A little bit of a smile!

Tummy Time!

Kathy's Visit

We just had Kathy (Joey's mom) here for the last week. It was fun to have her here for the week especially since we don't get to see her very often. We had some fun hikes in Sedona and the Superstition Mountains in Phoenix. She was an awesome help with cooking, cleaning, and Owen. Joey and I even got to have a date night while she stayed home and watched Owen. :)

Here are some pictures from her time here:
