The Wall

I was inspired by Mandy to use my Spring Break in a productive way, that and the fact that Matt changed contracting companies so we couldn't go on vacation anywhere.

Here is my bedroom wall. I painted the blue and then stencilled the pattern over it with a silver paint. I love it, but it was a lot of work matching up the pattern.

Check out the Chicks

My current job is at an elementary school. Since it is spring the kindergarten teacher got out the incubator and wa la. I have to say we did this activity when I was a kid and I loved it then and I still love it now. Who doesn't love a cute baby chick for spring?

Manti Temple

Our ward has decided to take advantage of the fact that we live in Utah and visit the several temples that are here. The first stop -- Manti. Below is the photo montage by Matt. I love all the architectural shots.

The clouds in this last one are awesome. Maybe Matt should start selling postcards.

If you ever get a chance to go to the Manti Temple, I highly recommend it. This is one of the last temples that still has a live session and the rooms are stunning.

A Comedy of Errors

Spencer was chosen to play one of the leads in his school Shakespeare play this year. Check him out in action.

He was awesome! I think it is so brave to memorize lines and stand on the stage in front of everyone and deliver them.

The Venetian

The Venetian has gondola rides both inside and outside. We elected to take the inside ride as it was night time and a bit cool. I loved the ride because the gondoliers sing Italian songs and you really do feel like you are in Venice, except the water is much cleaner.

The Bellagio Fountains

So we are slightly obsessed with the fountains at the Bellagio. They are so awesome because they are carefully choreographed with musical selections. We went to see the fountains a couple of times during the day and a couple of times at night as well.

Look at the heighth!

One of the songs was the theme from Titanic and what's Celine Dion without a little fog?

Las Vegas Temple

One of the traditions Matt and I have sort of adopted is going to the temple in the city we are visiting. The Las Vegas Temple is is one of the few temples that has the six spire design and it is sure hard to get them all in one picture. Anyway, check Matt's photo montage below.

This is one of my favorite pictures.
