Find the sun!

I love these guys!
Cute kid...too bad his eyes are closed.
Oh, it's been a mighty gloomy winter. That's what made moving to San Diego sound so sweet! No, we aren't regretting our decision to stay here, but sometimes you have to wonder what it would be like to live in a warm place during January! Especially today when it was 0 degrees overnight! Very chilly....
But, luckily we have a place in St. Gorgeous when we need a sun break! We had planned to visit over the MLK jr. holiday, but with all the craziness going on with the job/moving, etc... we never made it.
Mike decided that his truck needed to 'stretch its legs' and so we took a quick trip south. It was so great to feel the warm sun and actually be able to breathe! The truck was really fun to drive. We left on Friday afternoon, made a stop at the dealership, then made a stop at Grandma & Grandpa Arvy's to welcome them home from their 3 week adventure, so by the time we reached St. George, it was 10pm. Saturday, we shopped, played at the park, hiked on the rocks (Brandon's favorite), and enjoyed being together. We left early Sunday morning to make it back for church and Zach's birthday at the Gibsons.
We are probably crazy, but I like that we will spontaneously take-off for a quick weekend trip.


My babe!

And, this little sun break may have helped us all to cope with the freezing...and I mean 0 degree temperatures we are dealing with now! Mike had to be in Denver on Monday and Tuesday. It was just as cold there. The only good thing about this deep freeze is that it has cleared out the air and we have sun and clear skies! I'm hoping the Groundhog was right this morning and that Spring really is on its way!!!

Ahh....St. George. We haven't been there for 2 years...even though Bryan's parents have a house there! How lame is that? But we just found out this week that Brandon's state gymnastic meet in March is in St. George!! Wahoo!! Now we HAVE to go! And you can darn well bet that I'm insisting on staying a few extra days! :)
