Playing catch up...

Finally my computer is in working order...YAY! On Thursday March 31,2011 we stood on Orchard Village with our flags (and our snacks)... and our hands over our hearts honoring the family of the soldier that was killed.

On Friday April 1st, I made cinnamon rolls for a surprise baby shower for Ashton's teacher and the other K-1 teacher that is having a baby. Mrs. Curtis-on the left- is Ashton's teacher and Ms. Staci are looking at the books that were made for their baby. Each of the students were asked to make a page that said "Your mommy taught me..." and Ashton finished the sentence..."about sheep, pigs and cows." and then draw a picture and Ashton drew a picture of him with all of his friends at school.

That same day it was SO HOT and when we got home from school I told the kids they could go out on the trampoline with the hose...that was SO FUN!

On April 2nd it was Ashton's first coach pitch softball game.

We had a great Conference Weekend...too! I just LOVE Conference weekends. I am always so uplifted and have a desire to do better.

What a great start to our week of Spring Break.

On Monday Ashton lost his tooth...

we did a lot of cleaning, a lot of running, playing games, playing at the park, watched Tangled EVERYDAY! I LOVE that movie...has to be my favorite! Ashton got a buzz cut from Aunt Sophi, did some baking and some decorating cause we had a baby shower for Aunt Sophi on Saturday...we are so excited to welcome baby Lucy!

Last Day...

Today I went running with my mom, that was fun! Then we put Easter away, that's sad! Then we had a bite of lunch and then we met Sophi and boys at my mom's house and walked to the donut shop. SO FUN! We walked there and ate a donut and walked home the kids got on their bathing suits and went swimming again. :) Came home and watched part of Mulan and then it was time to get ready for t-ball practice. After practice we played in the front yard, Sierra and I sewed bookmarks, talked with our neighbor, Ashton raced race cars down the driveway. Papa came, bought Sierra's first set of bookmarks, Mr. and Mrs. Worm (she wants to make them to sell, she is selling them for $2), and then we went to Grand Panda with Papa. It was a very fun last day of Spring Break!

Should we be allowed to have this much fun?

Today I went to a spin class, first one in a while. Came home and of course showered because I was drenched and then grabbed the kids and went to meet Sophi and boys at IHOP. What fun! We all got yummy food and enjoyed! Ashton got a Funny Face and so did Rocky and the Funny Face is a chocolate pancake with whipped cream and chocolate chips and cherries on top. Ashton looks at Rocky's face and then whispers to me, "mom, do I have chocolate all over my face?" So funny :)! He didn't but Rocky did! Then the kids and I got home and hopped on our bikes and rode to the post office to mail some bills :P We rode past the pool and there were people in there so when we got home the kids ran and got their swimsuits on and I took them to the pool so they could swim for the first time since last season. It was so warm today! :)

Watched "The Miracle Worker" and my kids finally heard the story of Helen Keller. Sierra finished Mr. and Mrs. Worm.

Had my dad over for dinner for tacos and we made icecream sundaes.

Loving Spring Break!

Wednesday already?!

Our Spring Break is going so fast! I woke up this morning not feeling to hot. My whole body hurt including my head and I attribute it to running yesterday, how pathetic I know! I am out of shape! That happens so fast too! We had a fun day after I pulled myself out of bed and into the shower. We took Ashton to get a haircut at Kids Cuts and Waves. His first time and it was so fun! He got to ride a motorcycle and watch cartoons and afterwards the kids played arcade games for FREE! It was so FUN!

Off to Joanne's to get Sierra a project to sew. She is now in the process of making bookmarks and feeling very proud of her accomplishments! :) She is doing a great job! After Joanne's we went to Golden Spoon and tonight Daddy was busy so Grammy and I took the kids to the Habit for dinner. Me and my mom had nachos and fish tacos from the Alamo and they were fantastic! The kids ate their whole dinner so they could eat their gummy hamburger. My mom was going with us because she was going to be alone tonight but then 10 min. before we were going to leave Chris ended up staying home, Sophi showed up with her family and Jacque showed up to eat Mac and Cheese at my mom's house. She told them all that she had plans with me and didn't know any of them were coming over so she left and went with me, so funny! :)

Spring Break Fork Shakes

I never buy icecream! But, it is Spring Break and I bought Mint Chip icecream and Vanilla and tonight we had Mint Chip Fork Shakes after Family Home Evening of course. :)

Did I mention I'm Loving SPRING BREAK!
