Spring Fields trips

I got to go with Brielle's class to Red Butte Gardens and the U of U Museum. It was such a beautiful day and I really enjoyed walking the garden. I'd like to go back in the spring.. We had so much snow this winter that the plants were just barely starting to bud at the end of April!

I went to the zoo with Rylee. It was fun to see her and her friends run from exhibit to exhibit oohing and ahhing over everything. 

Always amazed by these big guys!

It was fairly chilly this day but we survived it nonetheless! And I just loved being with my Ry-bug. 

The end of school will be here before we know it!
 

Cute Stuff

We got to attend Wren's 3rd birthday party. She was so cute trying to fit in this box like the doll! 

And Oh baby Tuck! He is ADORABLE! And starting to have a little personality come through. He was pleased to death with this balloon. 

These babies are already best buds and too cute!

Can you say cute?! Ry attended her BFF's baptism. She ran straight to her soccer game afterwards, hence the jersey under her dress! 

AHHHHH! Too cute. My baby is getting baptized! And we finally found the most beautiful dress for her! How is she this old already!? Gosh she's beautiful!

And this beauty? So cute! Cheer comp season has arrived! And Brielle has loved performing on this team. 

Cute new hair for me!

CUTEST escape room with some fun friends. This candy themed room thought of everything and was so fun to do with the Eash's. I loved everything from the colors to the clues. TOO CUTE!

 

Rose Springs Chalk Run

It's tradition at Rose Springs to have a chalk fun run every spring. I was deathly sick at home so i asked chad to take the kids. They wanted to go so badly! Here they are before the storm, all clean and white. 

THE STORM! As fun as it was for them, I'm glad I wasn't in the middle of this!

Carter even got involved.. 

When they got home I made them stand outside and brush themselves off. HAHA It was pretty funny to see though. I know they had a blast. 

 

Our Easter

Easter was pretty low key since Chad was working. Brielle and her friend took charge in making sure we had some hard eggs colored. 

They created minions and they were so cute!

Easter morning brought some smiles and  happiness with easter baskets!

We decided to do a different kind of hunt to reveal a surprise! We set up a scavenger hunt to tell the kids something exciting!

They ran from place to place, excitedly reading clues and trying to guess what it was as they went. 

Putting all the clues together.......eagerly waiting.....

"You are going on a cruise in 21 days!"

 YAY!!!! We are so excited to take our kids on a cruise and enjoy them for a whole week on vacation! Happy Easter kids!

Spring Break

Chad worked most of spring break, but when he finally had a day off, we played hard! We took off to Provo and did as many fun things we could do that were on our Get Out Pass. We hit a few trampoline parks, did laser tag, got ice cream and went to a car show. It was a really fun day and we got to lots of fun things! 

This is Carters dream car! He had a blast looking at all the fun cars. And so did we!

As we were leaving the mall, Chad jokingly asked Rylee if she wanted to get her ears pierced. After all, she was almost 8! She excitedly said YES! So we turned around quickly and went to Claires to get 2 holes in her ears! She was pretty brave and they look so cute on her!

It was a fun and relaxed Spring Break and I was glad we got to do some fun things!
 

38 is here!

38 brought the coldest birthday I've ever had! I don't think I've ever had snow on my birthday but this year, mother nature delivered!

I started out my day at the gym and Stacy, the high fit teacher, made sure to make it a special day!

After workout, I sat in a massage chair for a while. 

When I got home the girls had decorated the house and made me breakfast! HAHA!

Chad was working nights and the kids were on spring break so once he was awake, we went bowling for something to do. 

Chad is always so sweet and thoughtful with gifts. 

And then the snow came. And came and came! We had a huge storm roll through that dumped lots of snow! What a day!

I ended the night alone after the kids were in bed and I climbed into the tub. Also, how cute is this shirt I bought for myself? I love it!

My dreams for 38 are to be true to myself. I think 37 was spent alot of finding me again. I hope for my 38th year to be more compassionate, more friendly, more true to what I believe and what I stand for. I want to focus on revelation for myself and my family and aligning my life with God's plan for me. 

Just when I thought that my kids didn't need me much anymore, I'm realizing they may need me more now as they enter their teenage years. They need me to listen, to be there, to spend time with them and talk about life. They need me to instill the gospel in them more than ever before. 

So here's to 38 - being 'other centered' and aware of the needs of my family. I think its going to be great.
