April Showers Bring May Flowers

 April has been jammed full of adventure, studying, laughing, goofing around, dating, hiking, and enjoying life. It's the life of a college student, specifically mine and I LOVE it. So unpredictable, enchanting, and refreshing just like the weather of April...


A candid moment between Lindsay and I...it makes me giggle every time I see it!


It was a warm spring evening....


and we took every advantage of it....


Another favorite photo...Madi looks as though she is swinging bare bummed! Her response? #nopantsdontcare


Baby Animal Days was a success! Looking a little dreary with rain clouds we were nervous! It started off great however! The baby bun buns stayed nice and warm cupped in our hands.




Oh but wait...It's Utah and I'll be damned if it doesn't give you a little spurt of rain/downpour when you're least expecting it. 


These little cuties could go home with you for a price! However...I don't think Mother Teresa would approve, no matter how nice she may seem and no matter that price!


While raining on our poor little heads and no jackets...we waited patiently to see the baby bears inside! It was worth the wait to see those little balls of fur.


 Did I mention that a bunny snuggling up into your neck is the new therapy? But when that bunny starts to nibble on your hair and chews off a piece that bunny can go right back into its cage.


Every year my parents go to St. George in April for my dad to attend continuing education. It's great. I hadn't been in 3 years so I decided that a little weekend getaway was perfect to fix my school blues. If you have never stayed at The Inn at Entrada, I highly reccomend it! This view is right in your backyard of your "hotel" room.


Grammy decided to pick a fight...you should see the other guy!! No no, she picked a fight with the curb. Though this picture makes her seem as though she had been through the war and back...it's her blue eyes that steal the picture. In fact it's the first thing I noticed after the picture had been taken! She is beautiful no matter the black and blue.


No trip to St. George is complete without stopping at Nelson's for some custard! Look at these cuties!


Dad enlightened me with climbing up the "Dixie Rock". It was insanely windy! We enjoyed our 15 minutes of freedom from Mother T and Grammy E to explore the colorful rocks.


At this point I told my dad we must have a photo shoot! Well done pappy!


Me and Mother T at dinner honoring the eye doctors of the Utah Optemetric Association. 


I made the parents get up early Sunday morning before we left for home to hike in the beautiful Snow Canyon State Park. It could not have been a prettier day.


Oh hi dad...Where the hell did you get those socks? We'll work on that ok?


My grandma looks smashing in any color she puts on! I love her with all my heart and don't know what I'd do without her. (excuse the blurry Iphone camera)


Final photo...This is the moment I truly fell head over heels for the beauty of southern Utah. The colors of the bright orange rocks captivate me with the brilliant blue skies standing out in the background. I think I could get lost here for hours and be completely content with life.

Now back to the real world where college is still happening and finals still need to be taken.
