One Busy Week!

We had Lake Powell and the Carnival all in one week! The kids had a blast, but lets just say getting back
on schedule has been a real treat!
 








Deeg spent 90% of his time right here :)
 This little island was one of the kids favorite things!


 They were dancing together and decided a little smooch was in order :)

Spring Break-Eatser-and It's a...

We spent spring break in St George and it was really nice! The weather was so much better than here!





 Easter.. lots of egg hunts and way too much candy! Gunner grabbed one egg sat down, opened it and started eating the chocolate with the foil on it :) 


 Another Easter egg hunt at Mamie's.. can we just say Nerds?

 And even bigger Nerds?
 Gunner got really distracted by Grandpa's new bike and had to go sit on it with Bruce



And.. can you tell what it is? We thought it was pretty obvious! The real deal is in 2 weeks so I'll have more pics then.

Some NEW Things for the Fackrells

Well #1 Clint and I were able to go on a very fun little get away with some great friends! We started out spending one night in NYC and went to see Wicked while we were there. (me and clint's 2nd time but loved it as much as the first) If we look like total dead beats in this picture its because we were! We left SLC at midnight on Friday and arrived, thanks to the time change, at 5 am NY time. Its only a 3+ hour flight so not much time to sleep and we can't check into our hotel until 3 pm! Yeah.. really really long day of walking and shopping and walking and sight seeing and did I mention all the walking? If you see me any time soon, ask me about our Asian illegal purse buying experience ;)
 We stayed at the Secrets Maroma Beach, which is a little South of Cancun. It was amazing and I now know that all inclusive is DEFINITELY the way to go! I can't list all the amazing things about it or tell about all the fun thing they had to do because I don't want to type that much :)
 Us at Tulum, we had an LDS tour guide and it made it so much better!
 Behind the temple at the cliff
 Doing a little cenote (water caves, we swam in one too but were afraid the camera would get ruined so no pics) exploring after we went down the zip line. For the record when we got up to the zip line they pull out these sticks shaped like a wish bone and tell us that those are our brakes.. yeah we thought they were kidding too, but they weren't. Which didn't work out for me very well since I didn't stop and had to hit the tires to stop. Oh and another thing, ask me about me and Ashlee getting trapped in these rickety old bathrooms (you know the kind where its just a hole that goes done to the dirt? yeah..) by a javelina (wild pig that can be really mean).
 The View from our patio, we had a swim out room which was way fun.
 Our room looking from the patio area, the curtained thing behind the bed was the tub and bathroom.
 Clint and Todd, I was too lazy to get off my lounge chair and get closer so the pic is blurry :)
 Clint and Eric's version of a Corona commercial.. but seriously, how gorgeous is that beach?
 Beth, Eric and Ash (yes Eric's hair is a running joke)
 Clint got pulled up on stage during one of the nightly performances!
 Clint and Todd playing one massive game of chess
 Ash, Me, and Beth with Giovanna our favorite member of the entertainment crew.
 Eric trying in Deeg"s sombrero that he requested we bring home for him :)
 All of us on our way home.. we had a ton of fun!



Oh and here is #2 and 3, It was my birthday on the 28th of March and I've decided 27 feels really old. And WE ARE EXPECTING baby #4 in September! And #5 I got a new car, its a Suburban and I love it! I'll post a picture of it when the weather stops being crappy :)

This Seems Familiar...

Anyone who has been keeping up with our blog for a while will remember when it seemed like all I posted were messes that Auni made, and her in time-out or cleaning them up. Well.. here we go again!
He got into my spice rack and dumped out an entire bottle of dill weed and a bottle of poppy seeds. Neither was remotely salvageable since they were all mixed together. I'm pretty sure that cleaning them up wasn't much of a punishment since he loves the vacuum.
This is just a random funny picture, he loves to put on Auni's heels and wear them around the house! And i just think he looks hilarious!
