Spring Break part 1

This week has been spring break for us here. We have been busy trying to get things done around the house and especially the yard (more on that later). The weather has been quite extreme. We had about a foot of snow last Friday, then is was about 70 and sunny for several days, now the past few days has been various degrees of windy, rain sprinkles, cold. etc. Welcome to Spring in Utah! I had to throw in a picture of kennedy with her soccer team. They won their first game about a week ago! It was quite exciting for them. . . last fall they didn't win a single game. So this was a huge morale booster. David and I took the younger girls to the community easter egg event the Saturday before Easter. You can see Elizabeth ready to go with her age group. It was quite crazy. They whole thing is over in about 30 seconds. So if you aren't ready. . .too sad too bad! Elizabeth only ended up with about 5 eggs this year. No bikes this year! She was with an older group and kind of got stuck behind the pack when it started. As you can see, this was the day after we had all the snow. . .by that afternoon it was all gone.

We hosted Easter dinner at our house on Sunday. All of David's family came as well as Bronte and Steven. It was a bit crazy, especially for Bronte and Steven, entertaining all the kids. Some of the kids can be a bit demanding. . .but they were such good sports. Steven even got out our guitar, tuned it, and entertained the kids with some songs. He is quite good. Kennedy was especially impressed!

We had a nice dinner and enjoyed the sunshine. All the kids were able to play outside.

I didn't get the girls new easter dresses this year. Instead they each got a new pair of shoes. You can read Kennedy's post about that here

I hope you all had a great Easter. . . I will post part 2 of our spring break as soon as I figure how to get pictures off my new iphone!

By the way, I have been spoiled this week. Got a new ipad as well as an iphone. Now I just have to figure out how to use them!
