Most people go someplace warm for Easter and Spring Break. Not us—we headed to cold, snowy Monticello to visit Tige’s family. This is what it looked like out the Hazleton's back window when I woke up on Easter morning. Here are some highlights from the trip:
The kids before church on Easter morning.
Tige’s brother Kirk blessed his new baby at church. We were so glad we could be there.
Braxton, 2.5 months & Abby 6.5 months
Friday we frosted sugar cookies and colored eggs with Grandma, Evie & Teina
Sunday afternoon we were surprised with a visit from an Easter Bunny. Tige’s mom also had a spectacular Easter egg treasure hunt for the kids where they all got summer clothes and bubble wands.
Saturday we went out to an Easter outing with some of Hazleton’s friends. Tige and Kason rappelled, we had a huge BBQ lunch, and an Easter egg hunt for the kids where there was so much loot they all made out like bandits. Here’s a video of Tige rappelling.
On the way home Monday, we stopped at Arches National Park for a hike. We hiked Delicate Arch, the “world’s most famous arch” as the map said. Kason & I were huffing up the hill, but even though Tige was carrying Abby, he never even broke a sweat. It was beautiful and fun, but made for an extremely long day as we had a 6 hour drive on top of that.
I’m still not unpacked but yet I’m downloading pictures and updating my blog. Priorities right?

What fun!!! The rapelling brings back fun memories...remember prom? It's so fun to be able to spend time with the family...we spent the weekend in Colorado with Matt and his family! Nothing like being with the ones you love most!
I had a cold Easter too (in Delta). Looks like a fun-filled trip. That's impressive that you stopped to hike on the way home.
Your Easter looked fabulous, minus the weather of course. The kids were so cute all dressed up. I still love their smiles. They are great. And I must say that I thought Braxton was a fabulous name. :) The repelling video made me kind of miss college. I haven't repelled since then. Holy crap! That was insane...what was I thinking? :)
i love how quick you are to blog...oh to be like you in yet another way :)
i know what you mean about huffing and puffing that hike. we just did it in february and that's no cake walk!
i love abby waving in that photo with her new cousin. she is stinkin cute.
any plans to come to slc anytime soon? i'd love to meet her in person!
Delicate Arch is the sweetest hike in the park. Awesome!
Whatever! It is Wednesday! I was wondering what was taking so long. You got some great pictures and I am very glad you were able to make it here for the blessing. We enjoyed having you here!
Looks like you had a great holiday and I am a little jealous of you being in Monticello, even though there was snow. I'm also jealous of the rapelling, I miss it. We hiked Delicate last month and loved it. I was hoofing it, but my kids ran the whole way up. Crazy! Your family looks great.
Julie do you know a jason livingston that lives in Monticello? We were also in moab for easter...after most of the jeep safari people left. Looks like a great time.
Yeah, Catherine I know Jason. His sister Cynthia was my best friend in high school. Her comment (Cox Family) was right above yours. Can't believe you were in Moab too. We should have hooked up!
