Spring Break

We had a lovely spring break! We didn’t go anywhere, just enjoyed all the fun stuff to do around here and had a really great week of family time!

We decorated for Easter and made our traditional Rice Krispie Treat nests. I love doing these with the boys. They are so easy and yummy.

After a really messy park visit (sand EVERYWHERE!) I threw Davis and Lila right in the shower when we got home. While I was getting Lila dressed again, I came back to Davis drinking the water with a wide open mouth and laughing hysterically while doing it. This kid is a riot!

Most of the weather during spring break was kind of crummy and cold- but we had one glorious 70 degree day and we definitely took advantage by meeting friends at the park.

We went shopping with Nana one morning- Lila insisted on carrying around my shirts to try on in Nordstrom Rack. This photo is so “Heidi” to me- she’s wearing leopard print (a gift from Heidi) and loving shopping in Nordstroms (Heidi’s fav). This girl is already letting us know she will be expensive to raise!

One day I came down to all three boys reading in the family room. (I think I told them they had to read before they could have screens). Such a happy sight for a mom!

We had one comically, funny day of things not working out! We planned to meet Josephs at the trampoline park right when it opened, only to be turned away because it was “toddler time”. So we quickly came up with plan B- bowling! The boys all loved it! It was actually such a fun turn of events (and no worries, we went back to the trampoline park the next day). Then after we went to get lunch at Pizza Pie Cafe- again we struck out! Their pizza oven wasn’t working! We had a little laugh, talked some of the boys through the disappointment (again!) and ended up at the food court at the mall. It was a good learning experience for the boys to be flexible and have fun even if all our plans fell through!

We got a pass to Gateway Discovery and it’s been so fun! I mostly take the little kids while the bigs are at school, but this day we got to take them too! Chase got a little bored, but Hudson had an absolute blast! Will brought the girls too, so there were lots of friends and cousins to play with!

This particular bath was so ridiculous, as Lila kept grabbing Davis’s foot and loudly declaring “MY FOOT!”

Before General Conference, Chase was up early so we took a walk together to the new Layton Temple! It’s about a year away from opening and about a 20 minute walk from our home.

I carried on the tradition of ice cream for breakfast on April Fools day. These boys think its the best, even though I did make them drink a green smoothie with it because I just couldn’t send them out the door having only ice cream!
