Zavoral Villa!

While Jeremy and I went on our 5 day trip to DC, Grandma Nana and Grandpa Papa took care of the boys. It was no doubt a lot of work, esp since Dallin does not like bottles. We are so thankful for all their patience, energy, generosity and love that they gave the boys while we were gone. We know the boys had tons of fun because Tanner was really upset when it was time for them to go home.  Here are just some of the many pictures they took during their adventures! It snowed while we were gone. Papa helped Tanner make his first snowman ever! Dallin figured out how to climb the kitchen stool. At the public library Out to eat Nana and Papa were brave enough to try a photo shoot. Dallin and I were so happy to see each other when I got home! Thank you Nana and Papa. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Jeremy and I went on a much needed 5 day, 5 night vacation without the kids!!  For over a year, we were planning to go to Guatemala with the Hormel volunteer program called Project Spammy. Unfortunately, we didn't get selected from the wait list. We still wanted to go somewhere alone, so we ended up booking flights to Washington DC!  It turned out to be a fabulous trip for multiple reasons: 1- We got TONS of sleep each night. I'm talking 10+ hours of uninterrupted sleep 5 nights in a row. Heavenly!! 2- Our sister, Tanya, lives there now, so we got to spend some time with her! 3- It was Jeremy's first time ever in DC. 4- The cherry blossoms were blooming pretty much the first day we got there, so everything was extra beautiful! Day 1  Private Tour of the Capital Building with Tanya. Tanya actually works on the hill as the scheduler for a Utah Congressman, and she learned how to give tours at the capital during her internship. It was awesome having her show us everything....
