Spring Break

Last week, my brother, mother and brother in law all had spring break at the same time. So my entire immediate family (except my dad) headed down to the Christensen cabin down by Cedar City for a few days of peace and quiet.

We actually planned to stay for 4 nights, but after 2 we decided we'd had enough peace and quiet, and headed further south to St. George. Of course, a stay at grandma's isn't exactly super excitement.. lol.. but it was just what the doctor ordered. It was so great to see my grandparents, they are so fun. My grandma is one of the coolest people I know, and it's been so nice being able to spend more time with her during our stops on our way to Vegas and back over the last couple of years.

And my grandpa is so funny, his presence takes over whatever room he enters. He will talk to you for hours about anything, he loves to dance, and he just learned to play the piano using 'fake music'. He's a retired BYU professor who's taught all over the world, I hope to see half as much of it as he has.

Gavin is such a funny kid, he loves to give kisses and hugs, but only to other little kids. He kept trying to love all over Ainsley, and she's not so much with the hug giving, lol. But he was persistent and frequently caught her unaware. Sneaky boy. :)

It was so nice spending a couple days with my family. I've been making an effort to get Ainsley and her Grandma Cinda in the same place once a month since she was born. So far we've made it happen, and it's been great. Especially in this first year she changes so quickly, it's been so important to my mom and I that we share it together, and miss as little as possible. So I just wanna give a shout out to my amazing mom and all she does for everyone.
