Spring Flag Football








This season has been a blast so far. The best season ever up to this point, I think. Both of the boys are playing hard, and they have great teams. It is fun to watch them get into the game and do their best. Hayden gets to be one of the quarterbacks for his team and he loves it. He is taking his position very seriously and is outside throwing the ball around every chance he gets! Although I am not sure how good of practice it is throwing the ball around with silly old Mom, but hey it is fun! Ethan is fast and has pulled lots of flags. And every time he does he does a little dance and he swings the flag over his head. Yes, we are working on being modest, but admittedly it is pretty funny to watch and inwardly I am doing a little dance with him! Shhhhh don't tell!

On a different note Shawn is getting ready to do a job for clowns. No seriously two real clowns! He came home with a bag full of balloon swords, poodles, ladybugs and hats. It has entertained all three of them all day long!! Who knew a balloon sword could be so entertaining?

Easter

This was Libby's first Easter that she was really into. She loves bunnies and likes to pretend she is a bunny and hop around. She love LOVED looking for the eggs. She couldn't believe there was actually candy inside, and she got to eat it! A lot of it! The boys enjoyed the hunt too, anything for chocolate bunnies and candy; the Easter bunny brought them both hats that they have worn everyday since.

Grandma and Papa had us over for a very special dinner, and even Shawn's brother, Glen, was there. She also dyed easter eggs with the boys after church AND had an easter egg hunt for the kids. Sheesh these kids are so spolied!! So fun, we love it!

General Conference Weekend


I love General Conference weekend. Being able to stay home all weekend with the family watching church on TV is always the best. Of course it helps that we always have yummy treats, and not having to prepare a lesson is always a bonus too! Shawn made chocolate chip cookies with the kids. Ethan had a flag football game that Grandma and Papa came to cheer him on. Hayden and Libby tried out one of the fun experiments that has been floating around on pintrest. It was pretty cool, you just fill a tray with baking soda and then with a little dropper you squirt dyed vinegar onto the baking soda and it bubbles. Pretty cool. I made a pink bunny banner for a certain little girls birthday for etsy. And during the men's priesthood session I took Hayden and Libby to the park to meet up with some other Moms, other then a close call with a scorpion, it was soooo fun.

Happy Weekend!
