jumpathon

Kaden participated in the school jumpathon this week.  They've been practicing their skills for a few weeks, in order to get ready for the big day.

An hour is a really long time to jump, even when you have fun music and a good drink for breaks.

But, its a nice break from sitting in class.

digging and more digging

Here's more pictures of the front of the house....such a huge difference.

The ivy had taken over and you couldn't see any brick before.  Its still on the side of the house, but at least we have brick back.

 

 

The boys filled the truck up with stuff we had pulled out.

 

Kaden and Bosten love helping.  They ask if we can go out and dig almost every day.

We are slowly getting there...well, getting it all out of there.

park city getaway

The boys have been begging to go stay at a hotel, and we figured that Spring Break was a good time for an overnight getaway.

Before we went to the hotel, we went to the Kimball Art Center for the Lego exhibit.  Pretty cool, especially for two little boys who love Legos.

Next, we went to dinner at Red Rock Brewery. 

 (You should know, that besides having a really good dinner, that was a HUGE deal for us.  Kaden is all about routines and doing things the same...which happens to be pizza when we go to Park City and to a hotel).

Finally, we went to the hotel, and got ready to swim.

So, so fun!

We snuggled, ate snacks, swam again, and had a really fun time.

fun at chuck e. cheese

The boys and I went on a lunch date one day during Spring Break.  Its a good thing we went early, because it got loud and crowded pretty fast.  

We ate pizza, played games, redeemed tickets for prizes, and had fun being together.

the front yard

Working in the front yard has been waaay overdue (and its not that we haven't wanted to).

We finally had some decent weather, and we all went out and got to work.  I didn't really take pictures before we got started.  However, its probably safe to say that we were living in or near the jungle.

We still have a looong way to go, but it already looks so much better!  No more living in the jungle for us.

zoo!

We decided to take all of the kids to the zoo this week (minus the babies).  

It was freezing when we got there, but by the time we left it had warmed up.

We had a great time, especially with our cousins!
