Frost Family Faces

Ethan got an extra day off for President's Day weekend in February so I thought I'd take advantage of it and go down to St. George for a few days. It was WONDERFUL!! I had so much fun visiting and seeing everyone again and Ethan, Ella and Ariana had a fun time playing outside with their cousins.

Grandma decided to start her garden and started by planting some peas...Ethan's a great help...

Ariana loved being in the backyard. She just wandered and would pick up a random piece of grass, or leaf, stick it in her mouth, spit it back out and move on to something else. She loved being outside!


Ella and Jaci playing in the dirt...

Ariana trying to go up the slide, she never made it very far. We LOVED the warm weather!! and the sun!!

Then, Saturday morning, my brother Dan rented a bobcat to do some work for his neighbor. He decided to kill two birds with one stone and came over to even out my dad's retaining wall...here come the demolition pictures!....


The Before...


Dad needed the retaining wall evened out so he could park the trailer easier...plus the old tree stumps needed to come out too...



Here it goes! The first shovel full!...

Demolition commencing!

Dan and Dad...planning their next move...


Whenever Dan starts a project and it requires demolition, he gets this manic gleam in his eye...especially when he gets to use a "big boy toy"!






Here goes the first tree stump!

And its gone!

Ethan and Ella of course loved the whole thing!

And after...


We had lunch and played at the park one of the days we were down...we went to a park close to the Santa Clara River and the kids had tons of fun throwing rocks and whatever else they could find into it.

And Ariana had a first! Her very first ice cream cone! She loved it until it started to get on her hands, then it was way to cold!


But it was sure yummy!

And she sure enjoyed it!

She also cut two teeth while we were in St. George. One top, and a third bottom!

I also got to visit with my friend Sandee and Jenny! It was wonderful to talk to them and see them again.

We had a great time! We love going to St. George. A couple of times on the way home, Ethan said "I miss Grandma!" and when we pulled into our driveway Ella said "nooooo! I want to go to Grandma's house!" We all had a wonderful time!
