We had a great Easter. The boys had so much fun and so did Steve and I. We enjoyed a few days with the Rees kids. Dad came out for dinner one night, but other than that we haven't seen anyone. We hope to see you all soon. I guess we'll have to wait a while to see you Steven's, but we can't wait, this summer will be a blast. We sure miss you. Malaysia looks amazing, I'm jealous. We've been enjoying the nice weather, working in the yard, then today we woke up to snow, Ugh! I had my Spa day with my friends Holly and Noelle yesterday, it was Heaven. We are all doing great. Loving you all, Ali

Our trip to Malaysia


Ash Can't Hang...

Sunset on Tioman



Here is a few sweet pics of the Sunset on Tioman Island.....

Paradise

This is where we have been thurs. - Sat.
It was heaven and so much fun. We had to drive in the car for 2-3 hours into Malaysia. Their we got on a ferry for another 2 hours and it took us to this remote island. When we got off the ferry we were dying how beautiful it was. The water was clear as could be, and the sand was so nice. We stayed in this little cute hut things. It was so hot and humid. We swam in the ocean and in the swimming pool that was spring water no chlorine. We woke up in the morning and saw monkey's. We went out to see them and try to get pics. This one wasn't looking so I whisltled, and he turned around and started chasing us. It was scary and funny. We got to eat outside everynight this this view, and see the gorgoeus sunsets. Who knew Malaysia was this pretty.

Tori trying out skiing for the first time





Monday was such a beautiful day, and the boys did not have school, so we decided to try Tori out on skis.(she always wants to go when Andy takes the boys). She actually did really well and wanted to keep going "up the big mountains" She wore Andy right out. She loved it and everyday talks about it and wants to go "skian" again. Don't underestimate a 2 year old.



Hello everyone!!!! I don't have time to post pics tonight. We got home late, we were out all day in the city. We went to China Town it was fun, and took a boat ride through the city to see everything. The city is really fun. I have been really sick with a stomach ache, and headache. I don't know if my body isn't used to the food and humity or what. We are off early in the morning to Malaysia. Spen took off work and we are going for 3 days 2 nights to go to the beach and have a vacation while the kids are out of school. It should be fun. i just hope I start feeling better. So I won't be by a computer until Saturday ( your sat.) to blog or tell you what we have been doing. I love and miss you all so much. Kiss my kids for me.

Another Great Easter

Hope Everyone had a great Easter. We had a really nice weekend. Graham's brother and His family are in town. Friday night Graham kept Alton and I went with ten of my friends to Park City for an overnighter. It was a blast!! I didn't fully enjoy the benefits of not having the baby since I was up until 3 in the morning talking. It was well worth it though. Love to all from the Darby's

Ash I thought you would like to see your darling kids. Just want to make you a little homesick. Have fun and wish I was there with you all.

Easter was great and we had a wonderful day!!!


Tori and her cousin twin. She loved the bunny.


















Some Picts. of Cason's baptism
Easter Sunday was nice inSingapore. Joce gave a talkin Sacrament and shared examples of caring acts of service of so many around her and the greatest act by our loving savior so we can all be together forever and she shared about our little Kinlie and why we are so personally greatful for the resurrection and the amazing gift of the atonement. Spencer told about his dad when he was little always taking him with him to fix and repair and help people and what an example it was to him to serve others. Then he told about our humanitarian trips to Honduras and Africa and the kits we took to new mothers in Brazil.and sometimes the real test of true charity is in our own homes, how we treat and seve our own families. They were great talks. Then he made us a nice Easter dinner of ham and potatoes company carrotts and then we made
easter nests to take to all the mormon neighbors. It was a fun day. Ash and I actually stayed up ti 9;00 and we were out Love Nan

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!

Basketball Over...


Look at that rebound... I almost got a concussion! 


I made this fast break lay up! All I have to say is, 
" 2 POINTS FOR CAYDENNNNNNN!!!!"

This is my friend Jake after our big game

I just had my last basketball game! I got 14 points! I had 1 block, and a couple of rebounds. I'm sad that the season is over, but now I'm excited for football! After my game, I had to go outside
and I had a 2 hour tackle football clinic. It was freezing cold, but worth it! 
I want to give a shout out to the Stevens... I miss you!
