Last couple days of March, beginning of April

We are officially into April now and Spring is getting closer and closer. We had rain earlier in the week, then it turned really warm, even hot! We had to open the windows at night to cool off and turn on the fans. The boys kept asking to get out the swimming pool but we had to tell them not yet. Here are some other highlights from the week.

Carter watching the loader take "trash" to the dump truck.

Watching the loader take the trash to the dump truck. We recorded it so Nyles could watch it later.

Piper came up to be w/ in my "office" aka our bedroom, while I was working. She likes to come up in the afternoon when the sun is shinning through the windows on our side of the house.

Cute baby Hudson: learning to eat crackers, rolling over, touching and eating his toes, and playing w/ his stuffed animal sheep while he's supposed to be sleeping.

Hudson's cute chubby legs and more beautiful flowers in bloom!

Nyles wanted to join "Race Cats" after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They split Nyles' group in 3 sections, and took turns running, throwing a javelin, and doing the standing long jump. While Nyles did his practice, Carter played on the playground and I pushed Hudson in the stroller as he slept.

When we got home, the boys were really hot from running around, and it was 70 degrees.

So we got some water balloons out to play with on the trampoline.

Friday, after I got off work, we took the boat out on the water for the 1st time. We went for a little boat ride as a family down at Utah Lake, at the American Fork Harbor. The weather was warm, so the breeze on the boat felt great. The boys really enjoyed it. It was also Hudson's first time w/ a life jacket on and he didn't complain or fuss once! He was a trooper.

I love the beautiful Daffodils and Crocus in bloom in our front yard.

Saturday afternoon Steve went back out on the boat w/ the boys, Dave and Rob. The engine was acting up on Friday when we took it out, so our neighbor helped Steve put in a fuel pump. That did the trick and the engine ran great w/out stopping this time. They had a great time!

The boys took a turn driving the boat as well.

Having fun!

And of course they had some snacks while enjoying the ride.

When they got back they took a ride in the wagon.

Oh we love our cute boys!

Hudson saying hi to Grandpa Dave and trying on his hat.

Sunday morning we had the boys do a scavenger hunt around the house to find their Easter chocolates.

The boys w/ their Easter chocolate since we love them and Jesus loves us. Hudson w/ his cute chubby thighs. I couldn't resist putting him in a Summer outfit before he can't fit into it anymore.

Hudson bouncing and watching General Conference.

Nyles built the resurrection tomb out of Legos w/ Jesus and Mary. Pretty creative.

Nyles taking a turn feeding Hudson some applesauce.

I can't get enough of his cuteness and chubbiness.

After General Conference we went over to LuDean's for dinner. Aunt Diane had a fun game to play. Thanks so much Diane! And thanks for the yummy dinner everyone ;)
