The Rest of Spring Break & The Next Week

The rest of our spring break ended at home. It was good to be home for a few days before heading back to work. The kids enjoyed playing. Buddy and daddy got creative with the monster truck track. They made the jump extra big. Buddy loved it because his cars would do flips. Way cool! 


This girl loves cheese! Leave the cheese unattended and it will turn up with bites taken out of it! 

We went the USU's spring football game. We made a day out of it. First stop was the temple. Lil took pics of the flowers, and the kids love rolling down the hill. There were a ton of weddings happening so we didn't stay too long. 



Then we headed to USU for a free lunch and the game. Buddy was fascinated with the Maverick monster truck. 

After the kids had a great time playing on the field. Ms M loved everyone chasing her trying to get the football. 

Look at Lil in these next two photos. She is such a drama queen. She cracks us up. We are lucky if we get a good pic. of all the kids with her not doing something silly. 




Easter clothes, and ready for church. 

The week after spring break was quite busy. MJ had her 4th grade music program. She dressed like a pioneer and loved it. She did a good job playing and singing.

Then later that week MJ had store for her class. They get to bring things to sell to their classmates. She wanted to make origami. So we spent a night on the Internet following directions to make fun origami's so she could sell them. She also sold homemade lip gloss that was a big hit too. We had fun making them together. In case you can't tell what all of them are we have: (bottom left to right) ties, dog faces, fans, make your own face that can change. (top left to right) turtles, whales, helicopters, and hopping frogs.  

The week ended with a visit from my parents so they could go to a funeral, and thankfully a lazy Sat. Hope you all have a great day!

Easter

For Easter we headed to WY. I got the go ahead from my Dr. and we took off. It was a great mini-vacation. It has been many months since we have been to see grandma and grandpa. The kids were super excited! 






Coloring eggs is always an adventure. 



















Easter morning. The kids woke up at different times so see what the bunny left. They were all excited for their new clothes. MJ and Lil thought the chalk stencils were pretty cool too. 








Egg hunting in the back yard. My brother and sister-in-law were able to come too. It was fun to see them and play some games. 











Now for some random things that were fun while at grandma and pas home. 

Dog piling daddy is always a fun game!


Drawing with white board markers. Mj did a great job with this bird!

 More tackling daddy.


Ms M found some stickers and had a great time putting them all over her and everyone else. 


Reading with great-grandma. 

Ms M was hiding. Great hiding place!

The only down part was we had to stop every 40ish min. on our drives so I could get out and walk. It made for a longer drive but it was worth it. We had a great Easter and a great time at the parents home!

Spring Break

Yes, this post is out of order. Easter come at the beginning of Spring Break but I'm going to post that after this. We have loved the first of April! Having a week off has been fantastic! The kids have loved playing, eating donuts, and being home with mom and dad. Plus we have only had one day of bad weather. 




We took MJ and Lil on a double sister date too. After lunch at the Grist Mill we went and saw Cinderella at the theatre. It was a good movie and we had a great time. 

Tomorrow we are going to all watch the spring Aggie football scrimmage. It will be a good day and maybe I'll add pics. if I take any.
