Spring Break Cont'd

In spite of the cold weather, spring break was still a good time. The kids had lots of fun which is all that really matters. We started off by meeting Jenn and Drew at a super fun indoor waterpark at on of the rec centers by her house. The kids absolutely loved it, the water was really warm, they had water slides, a lazy river and plenty of fun. Logan hung out in his baby float for like 2 hours he thought it was great, he is really loving water these days. The next day we tried to hit the Park City outlets, the weather didn't really cooperate but the shopping was good nonetheless. One of the highlights was taking the kids to the Children's Museum at the Gateway. I think I had just as much fun as they did. Bailey loved being a weather girl and newscaster, Ellie loved shopping at the store, and Logan loved playing in the water. They also loved being there with their cousin Drew, Jackson was their too, but he didn't make a peep in the stroller the entire time. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. The rest of the weekend included a little more shopping, a baby shower for Jackson and Mel, and getting ready for Jackson's blessing. The weather was crappy on the way home, the fought a head wind the entire time and had to stop for gas (usually we can make it), the roads were icy, etc. etc. all the fun of driving in the winter, except it ISN"T WINTER! We have hit a lot of bad roads between here and there this year, I am done for a while. If the weather is bad, I am staying home! I am glad Ryan flew down for the weekend and was able to drive us home, he is much better in those situations then I. All in all, it was a fun week and a good way to entertain the kids.

It really was a fun place, thanks to Jenn for inviting us. She looks awesome for being 6 months pregnant and rounding up all the kids for a photo.

I didn't have the red eye function on, so everybody looks a little freaky on this trip.
Oh well he is still cute.


Ellie finally got brave and went down this slide. She ended up loving it. Bailey was a pro she kept going over and over, she told me she was getting her workout by going up the stairs so many times, but it was "totally" worth it because the slide is SO much fun.

Bailey did a good job reading the Teleprompter, Ellie just sat and looked pretty :)



This boy LOVES the water




Bailey hung out with these boys doing some building for quite a while, Ellie loved riding the horse she informed me that she really wants to ride a real one.

A good day for memories

SPRING BREAK

There is not a better way to enjoy SPRING BREAK than driving in the snow~~

I didn't know I was coming home for Christmas.

The good thing about spring storms is that they melt fast, so hopefully by the end of the week we can wear some of those carpis and sandals that we brought.

At least the company is great, that makes it all worth it. We are enjoying the change of pace and it looks like the sun in going to be out today. Yeah.

Happy Spring Break

Fun with Family

Ryan's brother Matt and his family came to town this weekend. Ryan and Matt were spoiled with hours upon hours of basketball. They went 4 games on Friday, (poor Aggies, SO close) and watched countless others all weekend. Gotta love March! The weather was pretty nice and allowed us girls and the kids some park time on Friday. Jill and I made the guys watch the kids while we did some shopping on Sat. and went to dinner by ourselves. It was great. We love when they come to visit, we always have such a great time. Come back soon.

The kids made these hats themselves, they were pretty proud of them

There was plenty of singing and dancing to enjoy all weekend long

Logan turned 10 months this weekend and really loved the park and especially the swing.
I have a feeling we will be doing a lot of that this summer.

Happy St. Patricks Day

It was a great green day

Lucky the Leprechaun paid our house a little visit
He left a pot of gold...
(a green bowl full of green taffy and chocolate in gold wrappers)
He left new green shirts
We had green milk on our LuCKy ChArMs
and green corn chowder for dinner
Nobody got pinched

It was a great green day!!



HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Cabin Fever

This past weekend some friends of ours invited us up to their cabin. It was so much fun. What a great spot, most people know I am not a winter lover but it really was awesome. Such beautiful landscape and plenty of fun to go around. We really need to take more advantage of some of the great outdoor spots we have surrounding us.

A perfect way to END winter

In Like a Lion......

So thus far March weather has definitely came in like lion, hence the pictures of the kids in the SNOW, I am just PrAyIng that it goes out like a lamb!! We are ready for spring. All of Logan's winter clothes are getting to small, the kids need to get out some of that energy, Ellie's coat is to small, I really need to clean out my car (its just too cold), all of the gloves are missing their mate, and we all could use a little vitamin D. Come on spring, we are waiting!


We didn't have much going on this weekend and it was to cold to play outside so the girls came up with a way to pass the time. They made an Art Museum. They made many different pictures and other crafts of sort, the hung them on their closet doors and were entertained for hours. They invited Ryan and I to attend the open house for their museum, it was quite imaginative.

Fancy Nancy & Eventful Weekend

This week is read week at Bailey's school. On Wednesday they were suppose to dress up like their favorite character in a book. We had a hard time narrowing it down, but finally decided on Fancy Nancy. I think she just wanted to look "fancy" I think we did a pretty good job and of course she loved being "fancy" I do think these books are awesome and am sad she is starting to out grow them a little, I guess its Ellie's turn to be "fancy."


Last weekend we headed to Burley for our nephew Jakeb's baptism. I love Jakeb I think he is such a funny and sweet kid. He is so nice to Bailey and always puts up with her drama, and has definitely gotten her on the video game train. Friday night we decided to be obedient and work on our food storage a bit. My sister in law Julie is good at this so we let her guide us a bit. We ended up canning a ton of stuff. Hopefully we will be blessed for our efforts, I think the whole food storage thing overwhelming at times, but I am trying to get a handle on it all.

That is a lot of food!

Saturday the kids just played and played with their cousins, one of their favorite things to do. The baptism was great, I loved how personal it was. The rest of the weekend was filled with good food and good company. I love that the kids just play and the adults can have conversation, a great combination. We are lucky to have such great families.

Bailey and Jakeb

They will both baptized this year

Everyone always tells Jace that he looks like Ryan

so maybe this is what Logey will look like in 10 years
I am good with that, he's a cutie
