Spring Break in Utah- part 2

On Monday we took the kids and headed down to Provo to the BYU campus to meet up with Aunt Kathryn and Uncle Sam. We enjoyed some yummy creamery ice cream at the Wilk and then Kat and I took the kids on a LONG walk through south campus and all the way back to her apartment where we hung out for the afternoon while Mark worked and Sam studied for finals. It was so fun for the kids to see BYU and to hear their reactions to what college is and how this was where mom my and daddy met and went to school for a bit. Man, it sure did bring back a lot of memories of the "good 'ol early college days! It was fun to be there and to spend time with my sister and cute Ivy :) These pics were at the little pond at the bottom of the south end of campus and the kids were loving all the turtles hanging out on the rocks and the ducks. It was such a perfectly warm day to be out! By the time we got to Kat's appt. the kids were beat and we put Lilly and Ivy down for naps(in theory they were supposed to nap) ...and the big kids watched a movie and had a snack. 

 Kali being the goof that she is! It's rare to get a serious smiling pic from her these days...

Cute Ivy :)

 Love this kid...he's looking so old to me these days :(

That evening we went to Jeff and Brittany's and had BBQ with them for dinner and hung out for a bit. The kids had a blast playing with their Uncle Jeff and Paislee.  Sadly, this was the only time we really got to see them during our trip but it was still fun and we loved every minute of spending time with them! 

On Tuesday we went to the awesome Legacy Center indoor pool in Lehi and this was probably the kids favorite day of the trip! They could have spent all day here and been happy! Even Lilly had a BLAST!!

 These boys were inseperable.

 Kali, Zach, Nolan and Josh.

And I think we wore them out....

Still more pics to come! Spring Break part 3 coming soon! :)

 (I had too many pictures to do it all in one post.)

Spring Break in Utah- (part 1)

 For Spring Break this year we decided to take a trip to Utah and it also happened to be Easter weekend! We got the kids out of school early on Friday and began our trek to Utah and arrived at about midnight that night. The kids did pretty well and couldn't have been more excited to be visiting our good friends the Brown's. It worked out that their spring break was that same week and so we thought it would be fun to make a trip out and visit good friends and family (my sis Kat and Mark's brother Jeff ). The kids had so much fun with Hannah, Nolan and Josh and we were so happy that Aunt Kat and Ivy could come and play with us too! These pics are from our Easter activities, dying 6 dozen eggs and Easter morning.

 Lilly loves her cousin Ivy! They were so cute together :)

 The kids loved playing with the Brown's cute puppy Abby.

 Silly Lilly loves bathtime!! Ivy had to join in with her cousins too :)

Easter Morning

Ready for Church :) 

Stay tuned for more Utah Spring Break pics to follow this post!!

Field Trip to the Sacramento Children's Museum

 The last week in March Madelyn's preschool took a little field trip to the Sacramento Children's Museum. I've been wanting to go and check this place out with the kids and this was the perfect opportunity with just my younger two girls. It wasn't that big of a place so it was perfect for the little ones but still had plenty of fun stuff to keep them busy for a couple hours! I'm pretty sure Lilly had just as much fun or more fun than Madelyn!! Everything was hands on discovery kind of play and they couldn't get enough it!! ...Especially the water tables!!

 Lilly climbed up there on her own...she is climber and I'm in trouble! 

And I just loved how she could barely reach the water and she would splash it with her hands and get it all over her face and she thought it was the funniest thing!!

 The glass painting wall...SOOO Cool!! They just hose the wall down when it's covered and the kids just paint it some more! What a great idea!

 Madelyn and her two buddies Taya and Carmen. Such cuties!

Here's the two preschool classes together...

Thanks so much Ms. Jane for a fun field trip!!

Our Rapunzel's

 Been meaning to post this from a while ago. Kali is our "creative" one and she is always creating something. This time it was Rapunzel "hair"  for her and Madelyn to wear and then they had to ride their scooters so their "hair" would blow in the wind. Madelyn was loving it...oh and her outfit. Not sure what was going on there.  Haha! Love these girls!
