Allie Makes Room Signs

 Allie made signs for all the rooms in the house.  I thought that they were pretty creative!









Josh Goes Repelling

Josh got to go repelling with the young men in our ward.  Tyler had to work, so he couldn't attend.  Josh was scared to try it, but he said he had fun, and he was glad that he tried it.

Spring Fun Activities

 

We went to the temple to do sealings for my dad's side of the family.  It was a special experience to watch my dad and brother do the work for my grandfather to be sealed to his parents!

Josh got another award at school.  Only a few more weeks of elementary school for him.

My parents had a fiesta for their birthday party, and they had a pinata.  The kids loved hitting it and running to collect the candy.

Tony got us some donuts one Saturday and Megan went with him.

Sister Time Fun

Wendy and Julie came into town for my parents' birthdays and to watch Tyler play baseball.  They stayed at a hotel by the canyon.  We all partied at my parents' house for the birthday fiesta on Sunday.  On Monday my mom and I went walking at the park with Wendy and Julie.  After our walk we picked up my dad and went to lunch up Immigration Canyon.  After lunch, I dropped everyone off and went back home.  

Later that night Megan had a softball game and after the game I went up to Wendy and Julie's hotel and we all went out to dinner at a restaurant next to the hotel.  After dinner we went in the hot tub at the hotel.  We got there right at 10:00, when the hot tub was supposed to be closed.  They let us enjoy the hot tub for 20 extra minutes, and it was nice.  I then went home for the night.

On Tuesday we met up for pedicures and then lunch at Cafe Rio.  I then took Julie to Deseret Book for garments while Wendy went to the makeup store.  They had to go back to hotel to work while I went home.  We then all met back up later that night at Tyler's baseball game.  It was a fun game where Tyler played the whole game.  After, us gals went to dinner again and then some more hot tub time.  They left the next morning.  It was super fun hanging out with my sisters!

Easter 2022

 

The Easter bunny brought each kid their own basket of goodies.

We took the three younger kids to my parent's ward for their Easter breakfast and egg hunt.  They each were able to find ten eggs and had a yummy donut with juice.

Spring Break in California - Day 3, 4, & 5: More Swimming, Family Game Night, Baseball Game & Double Date

We enjoyed a lot more swimming and spending time with family.  We went to Julie's for game night and a nacho bar.  We also went to Kimball's baseball game.  It is always fun to see little kids playing ball.  Our last night there we bought the kids pizza and Julie, Boyd, Tony, and I went out to dinner.  We went to a Mexican restaurant, and it was yummy food and good company.  The next day we woke up early and drove back home.  Even though we missed Tyler, we had a great trip!



Spring Break in California - Day 1 & 2: Driving, Swimming, Breakfast with Hot Rods, Tennis & Powder Puff Football

We got up early and drove all the way to Wendy's house.  We got there about 3:00 pm.  Wendy and Julie met us there.  The kids wanted to get in the pool as soon as they could.  Julie picked up Kimball and he got in the pool too.

Later that night we celebrated Alex's birthday with a BBQ.  It was good food and fun to hang out as a family and some of Wendy's friends.  We even got to meet Alex's girlfriend.  It was a good time.

On Friday morning we met up with Gabe at the airport restaurant for breakfast.  They were having a hot rod show at the same time.  After we ate, we walked around and saw all the cool cars and some cool airplanes.  After that we went back to my parents' house with Gabe to drop off their food storage and see the house again.

Wendy and Julie invited me to go to their work luncheon.  I got to participate in their meeting and have lunch with them at their work.  After Tony came and picked me up with the kids.  They went for burgers and shakes for lunch.  We then went back to Wendy's and let the kids swim again.  They sure love the water!

Later that day we got to go see Alex play tennis.  He played well and won his match.  After the match we went to a pizza place and ate dinner as a family.  It was at the fairground, so the kids got to play a little after we ate.  When we were all done, we then drove over to the high school to watch Averee play in the Powder Puff football game.  She played in a couple plays and we cheered really loud.  The kids loved watching the boys who were the cheer leaders.  They were very funny, and it was an enjoyable night.
