Welcome, Spring!

The weather in St George has been absolutely amazing lately.  It's warm enough that I can wear shorts and I don't need a sweater or jacket, but I'm never too hot.  We've been trying to take advantage of the weather before the scorching heat of summer hits us.  We were lucky enough to be able to go see a BYU baseball game.  Because of all of the snow and cold weather in Provo they couldn't play their season home-opener up there so they played at Dixie State.  It was so fun to be able to cheer on BYU.  I'm pretty sure we were the only people singing along with the fight song, but that's ok.  The game was a really exciting one.  BYU beat Creighton.  The highlight was an awesome home run by BYU when the bases were loaded.  Autumn looked so cute in her little BYU shirt and BYU baseball cap.  She's a future cougar for sure.  She was a good sport, making it through all nine innings, but as soon as she got in the car she fell asleep in literally 30 seconds and was OUT!  Poor Dillon got a horrible sunburn on his arms and legs.  Next time we will take sun screen.




















I can't wait until we can go to our next baseball game.  I know a lot of people think that watching baseball is kind of boring, but I always love it.  It reminds me of my dad and all the times we'd go to baseball games together.

On Sunday we went to a nearby park and grilled up some burgers.  Dillon is the burger king.  He makes the most flavorful, juicy burgers.  It was so fun to do something a little bit different than normal (i.e. eating dinner on the couch in front of the TV).  Autumn had fun playing on the swings. I can't wait until we have lots of family that can get together to do Sunday barbecues.






 
Today Autumn and I spent the morning playing outside in the rocks.  It's something that's so simple yet it was so much fun for the both of us. I love how small simple things can be so much fun when I'm doing it with my little side kick.  I think by the end I had successfully taught her that rocks do not go in her mouth.  I can't wait for our next outing!

  1. So jealous of the beautiful weather! Your pictures are super cute. I love going to baseball games too (I went as a kid with my family). You're right, everything is more fun with a little one to do them with :).
