May and birthdays and fun!

May has been fun thus far. We went hiking in Zion National Park with Dwight and his family. We had intended to hike The Subway, but the runoff was too much, so we decided to do Angel's Landing instead. It was amazingly beautiful and perfect weather. So nice to relax and spend time with family. Also, it's James' birthday this month. Could it get better than that? I tried to download pictures of the events this month, but they all went backwards, so it's kind of like a countdown instead, adding to the fun :o)



I started painting the baby's room last month, and just added stripes over this weekend. Here's a sneak peak of what his room will be like. Granted, it's not done yet, so don't be too harsh on me. But I have the crib, a changing table, and some cute decorations. The walls aren't finished yet and I'm going to hang stuff in the large stripe. Any suggestions?

James and Zachary at the Real Salt Lake versus Mexican National team exhibition game. We decided to go to a soccer game for his birthday and had a lot of fun. It was also pretty surprising to find out how many people cheered against Real Salt Lake, but understandable seeing as who they were playing. It ended in a tie 1:1, but we had a blast and are seriously considering season tickets, or at least going to a couple games this year. Afterwards, we went to dinner for his b-day. It was yummy :o) Later that night we also went to the comedy club with a bunch of friends. Hopefully, it was a good day for James. He is definitely LOVED!



Zachary in his last soccer game of the season. He's been playing really well lately and it's so fun to watch him. Especially knowing that he's having fun! We went to his game before the Real game, so got our fill of soccer yesterday.



James and I after our hike :o)



Me, almost at the top of the hike.



James, sitting on an overlook of the little ridge we had just hiked. Part of the hike is about 3 feet wide, but totally safe for those that are scared of heights. Like I said before, what a beautiful day!



James and I halfway through the hike, right before reaching the switchbacks. We still had smiles on our faces at this time. And my bulging stomach wasn't too bothered yet. I think I look HUGE in this picture, but I guess that's part of the territory...



First day on our trip we went to the bluff above St. George boulevard and played around in the sandstone. James brought his frisbee and had a great time trying to throw it to Dwight and John standing on different rock outcroppings. Luckily, it never went over the edge nor did it end up in a crevasse. We had dinner at Cafe Rio and then dessert at the frozen yogurt place next door. Can I just say how much I LOVE vacations. We went hot tubbing and then played cards for a couple of hours with Melinda, John, and Kristen. Time for another vacation. Anyone....?
