Crossfit changes owners...


 This Crossfit changed owners and Eric officially took over as owner of Flaming Gorge Crossfit.

 Here is one of the annual Saturday crossfit 'Murph' workouts that was a charity workout that benefited the veterans in our community.


 Nolan telling a little bit about the origin of the Murph workout.



 Since Eric purchased Crossfit, time was immediately counting down to when he had to be certified as an L-1 official trainer. So, he signed up for the next class & test at the Park City Crossfit and we all headed over.


 The kids got a little stir crazy in the hotel...but it was blast for the most part...

 shopping...eating...playing around...

 swimming in the pool! Eric was convinced he had failed the test...to which I reminded him that in his whole life he had rarely done anything other than excel at a test...so, sure enough...a few days later, they called him to tell him the good news! He's officially a trainer!


 Baby D's experience in the pool at the hotel led him to realize that he LOVES the water!!

 This must have been a particularly hard day...because I do not know what they are wearing...I found this picture on my phone and it is HILARIOUS!!!


Couples night out with friends...Hunsakers, Shamos, Hales, us, Tarbets, Naceys & Carlsons...great night!!!

Funderland for Parkers birthday and April showers!

 I'm not sure what was causing those sad faces...but as I am blogging this post, I asked the girls why they thought they were sad, Lia said because I missed mommy so much (I was about a foot away from them) and Kiri said because she wanted a whole bag of whatever treat sample it is that they are holding!
 I took these beautiful picture of theses flowers,

 ...and this beautiful tree!!!
My sweet little lia...saving all of her 'Wishes!'
 Dim sum and Chicken Feet!!!

The boys went on the teacup and nausea and screaming ensued!!!

Happy Hoppers, Easter Candy & Tyler the Dentist

 This is the way I always think of my little Lia...such a happy girl!
I actually took this picture to text my friend Kristina Hopper...but it goes with the post...

 Happy Easter Happenings!
 Silly times...
 Sometimes I don't think the kids have a concept of growing and age...Kiri really wanted to keep this little bear outfit that she wore as a baby..she insisted that she could still wear it...they were less than 6 months old when they wore these!!!! She is almost FIVE years old now!
 Oh the joys of having two older sisters!
 Lia had her first sugar bug and was so brave to have it filled with no anesthesia!
 She was just excited to pick out a prize from the prize box!!!
 Showing off her pretty smile!!
 ...and I let them each pick a treat from the dollar tree!!! Max had no cavities, again!!!

March happenings

We start getting a little coockoo by the time April rolls around and the kids start to need to get out of the house for a little fun time...so, we went down to the White Mountain Mall and rented us some stuffed Pandas for the kids to ride...
 The girls had a great time riding up and down the mall with us...but the real fun started when
 they drove themselves!!!!

 Kiri and Lia at Mrs. Merlee's Preschool
Here is their class!
 

 Then it was St. Patrick's Day...a favorite in the Phillips' house...Kiri was NOT happy to see that the darn Leprechaun had run all over her leg

 Lia noticed he had left a mark on her arm!

 But luckily that silly Leprechaun also left treats!
