A blessing and an Italian spring break!

Thanks to our good friends, Andrea and Beatriz for sharing their family's mountian home in the middle of the Dolomites (Italaina Alps), we were able enjoy a great relaxing spring break. We took off at 5am for Italy and eight hours later arrived in Molino, a small town in the middle of the Dolomites. The next day we drove a few hours down to Venice, which is an amazing city. The kids enjoyed walking through the city and of course a boat ride. The rest of the time we played games, watched movies, went sleigh riding and snow boarding.

Marshall fell in love with snowboarding, and wanted to go every second we were there!

Kaycee was a little shy at first but after trying she loved it!



Lexi spent most of her time screaming but is was a happy scream.



One of the best parts of Venice, THE ICE CREAM !!!



So we have to prove Grace was with us so here is the one picture of her and Brad in front of the San Marco Cathedral.



Lexi and Marshall feeding the pigeons in San Marco square.




Me and the kids in San Marco square.




Marshall was getting tired of getting his picture taken.


Canals in Venice, the kids loved that they use boats as cars.




Brad and the kids on one of the many bridges.



The kids loved watching people go by in the gondolas.



Marshall, Lexi and Kaycee with the main canal of Venice in the back ground.



BABY GRACE'S BLESSING!


On March 7, 2010 we blessed Grace. We felt very blessed to have Brad's parents here to participate. We also had Brother and Sister Wilkinson here from Bountiful to participate, they are serving a mission in Germany along with Brad's parents. We missed having all our family here to be with us, but are grateful to all our great friends that were there!

The only smile we got out of Grace that day, she loves Grandma and Grandpa!











So tired after a long day.
