Spring has Sprung

Spring is here and we are loving it! As is typical in Utah, the weather is warm one day and cold and rainy the next. We are sure taking advantage of those beautiful warm days and go to the park nearly every day that the sun is shining! We had a fun family date night one rainy Wednesday (that we all just needed to get out of the house) to see Kung Fu Panda 3- which is now at the Kaysville theater! I'm not sure if the boys were more excited to see the movie or to eat popcorn, but they had a great time. We all did- Ben and I loved being there with our excited kids. This was only Hudson's 2nd movie (and the first movie I've been to with either boy!) and he did great- except one mid-movie meltdown (that definitely involved him giving me the "heisman") that was fairly quickly resolved. It was nice that we were at a dollar theater on a weeknight, so the theater was fairly empty! 

I'm loving this time of year that trees have beautiful blossoms and tulips are popping up everywhere, the weather is just amazingly pleasant and we can play outside again! One Thursday night we packed up the kids and a yummy picnic and headed to Layton Park for a few hours. The kids played and played and had a great time. We went and fed the ducks, including the most darling baby ducklings! Hudson started out by yelling across the creek "Mama Duck! Are your babies hungry?! Are you going to feed your babies dinner? We have dinner!" 

Then we found a shady spot to dig into our picnic. I don't think we've ever had such a successful picnic with the boys, who are usually too busy to focus on eating. They sat and ate and we all talked and laughed and had the most pleasant dinner! It was one of those nights that is just perfect and we all left the park happy and thankful.
