The Month of April

We had fun in the month of April with Spring Break and Easter. We had some Easter celebrations at home and then headed down to St. George with my parents & sisters and their kids. It was a nice Warm break, when we came home we had a few more Easter celebrations.

This was our friends/neighbors annual Easter egg hunt. It is always a great way to start off spring.

The kids had fun dying eggs in their new PJ's

We told the kid about the new baby on a dyed Easter egg. I didn't realize how blurry it was. The egg says "New Baby September 2010"

Bailey kept trying to peak at it while I was dying it, she knew I was up to something.

Ellie said mom is pregnant over and over

Logan just kept saying Egg

Our Easter morning.

Lots of eggs and lots of candy. Logan just kept shoving jelly beans in his mouth, as many as would fit.

New socks and new glasses.

I love this picture!

After our Easter morning we drove down to Utah so we could head down to St. George for some warmth. The spring was not warm enough for my liking..........

When we got to St. George we had lunch outside in the sun at

In N Out Burger, my favorite. It was amazing as usual

Even picky Bailey ate all of her burger

Logan loved the swing, he never got tired of it. I am sure grandma got tired of pushing him.

The kids loved being able to swim

Logan loved swimming so much, he was always ready

These kids are like me, we like warmer weather better!!

We wore these little guys out!

Ryan came back down to meet us so we could drive to Burley for some more Easter celebrations, but we had to make a stop at Tai Pan. While we were there we found these. Ryan made the kids put them on. Bailey was with my mom at another store so she missed out, but here are some photo of Ellie and Logan in Aggie gear.

Ryan is really thinking Aggie football is steppin it up this year. We shall see.

We spent Easter Sunday with Ryan's family. It is always a good time. Serious egg hunt, good food, and plenty of fun for the kids with their cousins.

Since Easter was on Conference Sunday the kids only wore part of their Easter outfits, they have cute tulle skirts that match these sweaters but aren't the best for egg hunting, especially in the freezing cold!

Other things in April worth noting.....

Bailey had a recognition night for Activity Days. They have these cute charm bracelets and at each recognition night they get to add more charms for the things they have passed off.

She also had a piano recital. She played two songs and did a great job. My parents came up to watch her, she had a soccer game that day too so it was a great weekend to visit.

Trip to Utah

We have been staying busy traveling, visiting family, playing and just enjoying summer. At the end of July we spent a few days in Utah with my family. We packed a lot into one weekend but we had a great time.

The 24th of July is a holiday in Utah, we celebrated Pioneer Day all day long. We went boating with my family, aunts, uncles cousins, it was so fun to see them all and catch up. Later we went to have a BBQ and more swimming at my aunt and uncles house. The kids were totally water logged and loving every second of it.

Riding on the boat.

Ellie and I rode on the tube together. She didn't love it neither did Drew our ride was pretty short. Maybe next year.

Swimming at Kerm and Steve's. The girls absolutely love the pool this year. Bailey has gotten really good at swimming, she is a total fish. Ellie does great with her water wings.

Friday we went to Lagoon. We had a really good time. I hadn't been there since high school there were quite a few new rides but it was a lot like I remember. The girls had so much fun. Ellie loved riding the lady bug drop tower ride, and Bailey was so brave she went on all of the big rides that she was tall enough for. Even the scary Wicked ride. Logan was so good the whole time and was even able to ride on the train and the big Ferris wheel.

This was Ellie's favorite ride. It was a lady bug drop tower and it was a really fun ride. She went on it 6 or 7 times and every time she would laugh and say that it tickles her tummy.

Ellie and Drew going for a little fly

This picture was taken at 11:00 at night. We were a little tired but had such a fun day.

Saturday the guys went golfing and we attempted to go shopping with all of the kids. The Nordstrom sale lost some of its appeal to me having all of the kids in a crowded store. Still found some cute shoes but wasn't quite as fulfilling as I had hoped (this made Ryan happy). Afterwards we met up with the guys for a Bees game. It was nice to just chill on the grass, let the kids play and enjoy a fun baseball game. The girls loved singing Take Me Out to The Ball Game and there was an awesome fireworks show after.

Monday afternoon we took the girls to the TreeHouse Museum in Ogden with Jenn and Drew. It was such a cute place. The kids loved it, we spent a few hours there. They had rooms representing different countries and It was the perfect way to end our trip.

Logan just happy to be there as usual, he was such a good boy the entire trip

We had a great trip hope to go back and hang out with everyone again soon.
