Easter traditions

Pipping eggs on Easter is a tradition that has gone back a very long time in the Jaussi family.  This year grandpa told us all the stories of great grandpa John and his popping days in Switzerland. Then the contest began!  Andrew ended up with the winning egg. (Again!)

Peter and trains

Peter loves trains.  Thomas is more of a best friend than a toy.  While we were in Heber visiting Joe this weekend we stopped to check out a parked Heber valley railway train.

A gigantic snowplow at the front. 

Peter on the rails - so happy!

Gr and Gr Jaussi

We are so glad to have grandma and grandpa Jaussi back from Russia!   They came for Sunday dinner last week.  The kids were so glad to spend time with them again.  They are such a good influence on the kids and they adore them!

Chalk cliffs

This is josh at the chalk cliffs near our house.  We like to go look over the edge and hike down to the pictographs just below the ridge.  

Joe

Here are some "before" pics of Joe.   How I love my brother!

A funny moment

We visited the history museum in mesquite.  What a fun little place!  The kids favorite part was the old typewriter they were allowed to try.  I had to chuckle at the sight.  Young kids with old tech, while right behind them is an older fellow using new tech!  Awesome opposites!

St George part 2 - March 2016

While Mike enjoyed golf I took the kids to snow canyon state park.   So much fun!  We hiked a slot canyon, played in the dunes, and explored some lava tubes.  

St George trip - Feb 2016

Every year Mike goes to st George with his golfing association.  This year we hose to take the whole family and make a fun weekend out of it.  Here are some pics in the course when we were dropping Mike off for the day. 

Josh hit a bucket of balls with dad to help him warm up. 

Peter saw sand traps and thought "sandbox!  Cool!"

Everyone loves a ride in a golf cart
