It's Spring!

We made it! Here's what we've been doing with it!

Easter Egg Hunts

 

 

 

 

 Easter Dresses

 

 During Spring Break we visited Hill Air Force Base Museum.

I was told I needed to get the entire plane in the picture. I promise my kids are in the picture too!

The Boy liked the gun the best, should I be worried?

The Queen liked this plane best because it had an "A" on it.

Yeah, we like M*A*S*H

We also saw the Art of the Brick (Lego) exhibit at the Kimball Arts Center in Park City.

 

This one was my favorite, so cool!

 

 

 

We had to stop and play, of course!

The Boy even lost his first tooth (at last!)

 

 

We're soaking up whatever sun we can come by (even on colder days).  So glad to have made it to Spring!

Knowing Her Identity

At church this morning a neighbor asked The Queen if she was, "fibbing." (I didn't actually catch what the question was referring to -- probably something about her nail polish which she was excitedly telling EVERYONE about).

The Queen misunderstood the question and replied, " I not Fibbing, I Ainsley! A-I-N-S-L-E-Y, that's Ainsley"

30 Pink Piggies

I just couldn't resist.

 

The girls and I had fun yesterday afternoon!

(actually finding a clean piece of carpet on which to take pictures was pretty cool too!)

Seven!

Seven?!

Yep, The Boy turned seven years old last week.
We had a pretty low-key affair.  He asked for philly cheese steak sandwiches with brazilian lemonade for dinner.  We then had presents and Mint-Chocolate cake.

Best Lego find ever! Actually, they're not really Lego brand, but they fit the Lego's he has and were a fraction of the cost (thank you, Costco!).  This set actually took him several days to assemble (instead of the usual 1/2 hour).

Yep, a Lego-Man Head Lamp for those of you who were wondering (thanks Boppa and Diyah).  He loves using this at night to sneakily play with...Legos.

Saturday we headed to Boondocks for a birthday party with friends.

 

 

 

I think they had fun! It was nice to not stress about the party too!

It's Still Winter

I'm really very tired of winter and counting the days until spring.  We haven't been up to much, but I do have a few pictures that the four of you who read this might enjoy!

After the second of our 2 major snowstorms, I braved the knee-deep snow (thigh-deep for my kiddos) and we went sledding at the park near our home.

 

What's a trip to the park without swings? The Queen loved the fact that it was easier to get into because the snow level was so high.

So much snow!

When stir-crazies really set in, we pull out the masking tape and make tracks for The Boy's Hot Wheels.

 

 

Like I said, not a whole lot going on around here, but sometimes that's nice too!
