Wet weekend

Evan was an elephant in the save the animals parade at school.  He did a great job!

Michael and I went out with friends to eat and see Jim Gaffigan. 

It was a great evening out.

Saturday it was supposed to rain so I took the kids to the park early to get some energy out.

Dallin had fun at a Ninja warrior kids place as well.

Rain came heavy and fast.  Water was well within banks at 2:45 by 3:30 it was like this.  It was crazy.

Our house was spared and within another 40 minutes all the water was gone.

Sunday we enjoyed no rain and board games.

Field Trip and Mother's Day

Aaron got to go to the fire house.

They all had a great time learning about firefighters.

They loved the rescue boat.

I did muffins with Mom with Evan.  

They sang songs and poems for us.  It was so sweet.

I had a great Mother's day.  Michael made breakfast.  The kids spoiled me with presents.

Michael made me a cheesecake.  It was delicious.

I got flowers dropped off as well.  So pretty.  We all ate a delicious dinner together.

Track and friends

We just finished up our track club season.  The kids did great. Evan is very good at the mid distance like the 800.  He enjoys soccer more than track  but it was fun to try out new things.

Leah did a great job.  She really improved her times through out the season.

Dallin is very fast and he learned more about when to accelerate and when to take it easier.

Joshua is very good at pacing himself.  He is very good at the longer distances.

Aaron always pulls out our other lawn mower when we are mowing the lawn.  He wants to mow so bad.  He hauls it up and down the grass behind whoever is mowing.  I just wish I could bottle up the enthusiasm and sprinkle it throughout the upcoming years.

I was playing with Aaron on the hammock to keep him from ruining a game of basketball.  It is so fun to see the boys play and hangout together.  

Sky Ranch

Michael and Dallin went to camp this past week.

They had to learn 

They had fun

They had a little rain but they were still able to do the zip lines and swim in the pool.  They had a great time on the water slides.

Dallin's roller coaster won for his school so he competed district wise.  He was also competing in Vex robotics so I am not sure if they placed or not.

We also dealt with pink eye around here.  I had to keep Aaron quarantined to the stroller during track practice to make sure we didn't spread it. Poor kids looked awful.  He is doing much better today.

Easter

We had a fun Easter party at the park.

The older kids and adults pulled the younger ones.

We hunted eggs after the games.

They each got to grab a dozen.

It was perfect weather.

We dyed Easter eggs.

They turned out pretty.

It is so hard to get everyone looking.  They all looked great!

Here we are on Easter Sunday.  I love Easter.  I love celebrating that we can all live with our Father in Heaven again thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus.

We had an egg hunt with Quinn's family.

We even busted out the confetti eggs.

We had a great Easter!

Easter parites and joy school

We had a Ward Easter egg hunt.  The kids had a good time.

I had joy school at my house this week.  We learned all about bugs.

We did insect yoga as well.

We had the Easter Cruz BBQ. It was raining again so we played games indoors.  

We all had a great time!

We played lots of different games to earn their eggs.

This fish tank is now apparently better than tv.  This rocking chair is the new prime spot to sit and watch fish.

Aaron is a busy boy and he can't not get in the mud.  lol
