The first week of April the boys had their Spring Break. I didn't take any time off work since we're leaving to Orlando in May for 1.5 weeks. Here are some highlights of the week.
Steve took the boys to the Butterfly Museum Monday morning. They found lots of pretty butterflies!
More butterflies.
Then they stopped at the Farm for a while at Thanksgiving Point.
Dave asked if they wanted to go to lunch at Chuck-O-Rama, so they of course agreed. The boys all said that is their new favorite restaurant ;)
After a day of play, the next day, Steve and the boys then worked to remove all the rocks from around our flower bed in the front lawn.
I came to check up on them during my lunch break. They were making good progress.
Beautiful Daffodils and a Crocus still in bloom. The boys taking a break on the trampoline.
Steve then started to make a new cement curbing around the flower bed. The rocks made it tricky to mow around, plus the grass would grow in between the rocks and come into the flower bed, which drove us crazy. After 2 days, Steve got it done! Great job Steve! I love it!
On Wednesday evening, I took Nyles went to martial arts while Steve went to visit his mom in the hospital. Carter and Hudson played at a nearby playground while Nyles was at class. We decided to withdrawal Carter at this time since they closed our Draper studio and he would take over another year to complete. He wants to do something else; we're just not sure what yet.
Pretty Tulips blooming, Rock Cress (purple), and Daffodils.
On Friday, Steve met up w/ Stacie and her kids to go play at some parks in Bountiful.
Going down the slides, across the bridge and playing in the water. Hudson loves his cousins!
More fun at the swings and playground.
Then getting some lunch at Zupas. Phill came over and met them.
Great quote. The kids were exhausted after a hard day of playing.
Beautiful flowers and new cement curbing.
Friday afternoon Nyles had his friend Lincoln come over for a little while. We ordered pizza for dinner, then started watching the new Disney show called Wish. We had seen it on the Disney cruise last November, but now it's on DisneyPlus. We needed a few groceries though, so Steve and I decided to go to our Neighborhood Wal-Mart just down the street. We took Hudson w/ us and left Nyles and Carter watching the movie.
Steve and I were getting things to make chili on Sunday (onions, peppers, etc) when I heard, "Penny!" I turned to see my friend Ali Bradshaw Fenlon from Snow College! She was an Ambassador w/ me while at Snow College for 2 years. Ironically she lives just down the hill in Draper, yet we've never crossed paths until then! We chatted for quite a while, until both her daughter Amelia and Steve, were basically done grocery shopping. Ali jokingly asked Hudson if he wanted to come home w/ her, and ironically he said yes! He got out of the cart and went over and gave her and her daughter a big hug!! He's such a silly kid! He warms up to people generally pretty quickly, which is a strength he has.
Nyles and Lincoln playing Pokemon. Hudson giving Ali and her daughter Amelia a big hug!
Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. We kept Nyles and Carter busy w/ General Conference word searches, then they got a treat afterwards. Hudson kept busy w/ toys for some parts of it ;)
Carter and Hudson on the zipline at the Aquarium. The Easter baskets. The boys put together their Lego vehicles during the Saturday morning session.
Sunday evening, we had Steve's family dinner at our house. Steve and I each made a different batch of chili (different recipes), then Steve smoked it. We then had an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard.
Each kid finding their 13 eggs (each kid has a different color egg), plus one golden egg. Aunt Diane and Grandma LuDean also had a Reese's Peanut butter egg and a box w/ treats/money.
More fun finding eggs. Jeff then took everyone for a ride in his "new" Tesla, showing how quickly it can accelerate and drive by itself.
The kids waiting to go find their eggs. Then trading candy afterwards.
Joann joined in on the fun via Facetime.
Cute Nyles; about 10 years difference (ages 18 months and 11).
Cute boys, 3.5 years apart. They grow up so quick!
