Spring Break

We spent time at my parents' house for Spring Break.  It was fun to be with so many cousins.

Carolyn and Tyler playing with the doll house.

Doing perler beads



Snow?  Say what?



We didn't bring snow clothes or boots.  We were able to borrow things and improvise to make "boots" from gators.











Swimming at the Y.



Dance party!





Hadley and her entourage at the piano.



Making shark crafts as part of Samuel's 6th birthday celebrations.



The Easter Bunny made a visit to our house while we were gone, so the kids were able to hunt for eggs when we got back.

March

I found this note from Tyler on my bed.  (Mom please follow the blue paper)



The trail



The final destination  (Please let us spend)  Obviously someone was dying to spend their allowance.



Megan bought a mechanical horse with her money.



Emily bought a Zhu Zhu pet



Emily missing her front tooth



We attended the Jordan River Temple open house





The kids' St. Patrick's Day meal--green milk, mashed potatoes and grapes.



Darrell and I, on the other hand, enjoyed a early anniversary meal at a local Mexican restaurant.



Poor Tyler had an ear ache I took him to Instacare.  It turns out he had so much wax in his ear that the doctor couldn't see anything.  After the nurse removed the wax, the doctor could see a really bad ear infection.  Unfortunately we were back in Instacare a week later with Tyler.  He had been complaining that he couldn't blow his cheeks out or close his eye.  It turns out he had Bell's Palsy, where half of his face didn't quite work right and was droopy.  Luckily with medicine and a patch to wear at night to keep his eye hydrated, it cleared up on its own.



Tyler with his Star Wars things.  He had a book about Chewy and the porgs and he was acting it out with his own Chewy and Porg.



As is tradition, I tried on my wedding dress on my birthday.  I am obviously not a size 6 anymore and couldn't zip the zipper up, but you get the idea!





We went to In 'N' Out for Darrell's birthday.





The kids were happy to show off their art at Art Night.

The kids enjoyed doing some of the art activities.





Darrell is a member of the local Clean and Beautiful Committee.  I love Emily's sign.



The kids decorated some Easter eggs before we headed to Montana for Spring Break. (Emily, Megan and Tyler)
