SUNshine

There is just something about sunshine and vacations that never get old.  We were lucky and got to head down to St. George again for the end of March and enjoy some warm weather and lots of relaxation.  We didn't do a whole lot because of Marcus' sprained ankle, but we did lots of swimming, a little shopping and eating out, and some four wheeler riding.  Marcus' parents and his younger brother were there as well and we had lots of fun spending time together.  
Asher probably would have spent all day in that swimming pool. 

While we were down there he got a little cranky, didn't want to go to bed, and started tugging at his ears...classic symptoms of another ear infection.  We were able to take him to a doctor down there and get him on antibiotics before they got too bad.  Poor little baby!  We definitely wore him out.  One day we were driving around and I could tell he was getting sleepy.  I handed him my lipgloss to play with in hopes of keeping him awake.  The next thing I knew he was out, with the lipgloss sticking right out of his mouth!

He absolutely loved exploring on the rocks and wanted to do it all by himself.  He was totally freaking me out as he was running down the rocky trail, jumping off rocks, and falling right and left.  I tried to hold his hand, but he would push it away and say, "No, Ay-ya".  That means he wants to do it himself. I didn't know that started this young!

A trip to St. George wouldn't be complete without meeting up with my good friend Jamie, her husband Adam and their baby girl Millie.  They had us over for dinner and then just Jamie and I got to go do a little shopping.  That was definitely a treat!
It was a fun getaway but it was actually really nice to come home to fairly decent, sunny weather back home.  I'm so happy to welcome warm spring weather!

So sorry again about his ear infections. I COMPLETELY understand how sad and frustrating that is. :(

Those pictures of him swimming are adorable. What a little fish!

I didn't know that Marcus sprained his ankle. :( Sorry to hear that.

Yea for warm weather...(despite the snow we had yesterday...)
