More Birthday fun

Michael got his cheesecake for his Birthday.

Aaron likes to pick the wildflower/weeds that grow while we wait for the bus.

It was cold on Saturday but we still played outside.

This is the park where we have track practice, the kids love it.

We started some indoor plants.

The younger boys wanted to play with eggs.

Dallin moved up a rank.

Evan used his Birthday coupon.

He had fun driving around on the Go Karts.

It is my Mom's Birthday this weekend.  We took her out to eat yesterday.

Michael took Leah to Disney on Ice.  They had a blast.

They got there really early, but enjoyed walking around and seeing everything.  Michael and Leah were both impressed by the skaters.  

Birthday Fun

Another joy of turning 8 in our house.  The boys made sure we didn't forget that she now gets to start mowing. The two older boys and Leah each have patches they are responsible for.

Michael hasn't had his Birthday yet, but we have started to celebrate anyway.  He got a new fish tank.  The kids and Michael are so excited.

Michael's new favorite spot is just sitting in the rocking chair staring at the tank.  

We did Speedy kids again on Saturday.  Aaron hangs at the park while the rest run.

The kids did great.  This week they worked on the 800 meter run and long jump.

Evan is smaller than the rest of the kids that run with him.  Most of the other kids are 7, so on the shorter distances he can't keep up.  The 800 meter he had no issues taking over.  ha ha

I threw a surprise party for Michael yesterday.  

As I have been told I tend to worry about the wrong things that end up talking me out of doing most parties.  ha ha It was a little stressful but with the help of family and friends we got it to work.

I baked and purchased food on Friday.  I hid it away at my sister's house.

I took him to the movies in the afternoon and my family came over to set up for the party.  

He was pretty surprised.  ha ha  It is fun I can still shock him after 14 years of marriage.  lol

I am grateful for everyone who came and made him feel so loved.

Aaron blew out the candles for him.

He even got to open a few presents.  We had fished themed party.  It doesn't matter if you are turning 6 or 36 it is fun to have a little theme.  :)

I wanted to have it in the backyard but it rained lightly off and on. It doesn't bother the kids.  They enjoyed playing outside.

Michael and I ran a 5k in the morning.  

My race pics never look this good.  I loved the guys in back sprinting in behind him.  He had no idea that they were coming up. He did end up kicking it up in the end to finish before them.  

I didn't break any records, but I am slowly getting faster after my sickness and pleurisy.  It was fun to run with Michael.  He stayed with me the first mile and half and then dropped off.  It was a busy, fun, and crazy weekend. 

Spring Break

We took a a camping trip with the Clarks.

We had a good time.  The kids love to camp.

There were a few thorns.  One right where I was sleeping.  ha ha

Aaron did not sleep well.  He was a bit grumpy in the morning. 

The sunrise was beautiful over the lake.

We did a little fishing in the morning.

Michael was setting up his Birthday present a fish tank and ended up accidentally stabbing himself.

He is don't much better now.

We had track club practice.  The kids had a good time.

They worked hard ran ran fast.

We dressed in green today for church.  I thought they looked nice.

Joy school, Robotics, and nice weather

We had joy school at our house this week.  We did a space theme.  We built this fun rocket ship.

We made little telescopes that you can see the stars.  It is so fun to watch these little ones grow.

Robotics season is over.  We will have one more tournament for Steamposium.

Dallin went to state for Robotics.  They didn't make it to Nationals but he has learned lots and enjoyed his time.

The weather was lovely yesterday.  I caught these two hanging out on the hammock.  So sweet!  Michael had taken the older ones to a movie.
