Vegas and St. George

















































Over Spring Break we went to Las Vegas for a few days and stayed in the Luxor Hotel. The kids loved the cool slanting windows and the neat decor of the Hotel. We did lots of fun site seeing. On the way back, we took a hike in Snow Canyon which is a family favorite.

7 Baby Bunnies!





Seven baby bunnies unexpectedly appeared in our rabbits cage one afternoon (we aren't very good at noticing when our bunnies are pregnant). Since we had an unfortunate experience a month earlier wherein all the babies died within a matter of a couple hours, I had researched a lot about how to keep them alive and I was determined to do just that - but I never dreamed we would be able to keep all 7 alive! It took quite a bit of work and a lot of creativity to keep these little guys alive, but they were such a hit with our kids and all the neighborhood kids (and adults) that it was all worth it. For the first 4 weeks or so, the momma bunny didn't want much to do with taking care of her bunnies, so we would have to hold her over her bunnies twice a day so they could nurse (we employed everyone's help - even Dylan was quite tender with them). The kids gave them away to neighbors and friends so they all ended up with happy homes!
