Did Kim Really Update Her Blog?


Yes I did!  Not as much as I would like, but I wanted to post some pics from our Utah trip last month....

Our first stop was St. George with my Dad and the rest of the Hawker clan.  We had a great time, including a game of Balderdash that lasted until 2:00 am, swimming and a hike in Snow Canyon that the kids enjoyed beyond words.  Who wouldn't love playing in sand and jumping on and around big red rocks?? Awesome...

Lauren was very serious about her landscaping job here.  She worked for as long as we would let her replanting those plants she found- with Andrew as her helpful sidekick!
So, does it look like Olivia is lifting the rock?  Because that was the effect we were going for :-)

Having Andrew, Heidi and Brady with us was one of the reasons this was such a fun day- thanks for sharing this with us Prestons!
Fun in the pool!

Josh discovered the Captain Underpants books on this trip and inhaled them all before we even got home.  Oh well, anything that takes him away from his beloved DS is fine by me!
When we got back to Salt Lake, we were busy with Easter festivities.  First came coloring Easter eggs with Grandma Pam...


We still made time for Grandma's famous chocolate chip cookies (and only slightly less famous dough).  Livi is feeling really ripped off at this moment- we are all really concerned with how much sugar Heidi lets Andrew eat :-)



One of the highlights of our visit was spending time with our beloved cousins.  There were fun activities like an Easter egg hunt, going to the zoo, aquarium and movies, and lots of sleepovers.  We wish they all lived in Seattle with us!


This isn't even all of the Goates cousins, they are quite a crew!



One of the last things we did was go watch Grandpa play softball with his (not kidding) Gold Medal winning team "Steel Strong".  That was so fun- and it made it even more exciting for Lauren to start her first T-Ball season when we got home!


More to come, I will try to update again soon!
