2nd Week of April - Kids' Spring Break

Here are some highlights from the 2nd week of April.  The boys were finally, officially on Spring Break!  They were so patient waiting for their "turn" as other schools were on Spring Break the week or 2 before us.  I worked in the office all week, but made it home in the afternoon.

Monday, Steve took the boys to Thanksgiving Point.  First to the Farm area.  Carter loves the goats.

They fed the goats grass, then had a snack.

They then went to the Dinosaur Jungle.

Steve was able to attach the metal siding around the trailer that my dad cut and formed for us last year.  Nyles then helped to paint it.  It looks awesome!  I also finished all the mind puzzles.  Nyles was on the honor roll again.  Good work Nyles!

Pretty "Popcorn Trees" in front of the Delta Center (across from my work).  Tuesday night we went and saw the new Minecraft Movie w/ Rob.  The boys slept in the Lego room during the week.  We got air mattresses out so the boys could sleep better.

Wednesday, Steve took the boys fishing at Deer Creek.  Zach met them there.
They had a good time and caught several fish.

The fish they caught.  I made both a sour dough loaf and a cinnamon loaf.

Hudson was so excited to get the water table out.  He keeps asking, "Is Summer tomorrow?"  
I mowed the lawn for the first time, yeah!  I love all the pretty flowers in bloom!

Thursday evening Steve and I went to the temple and did initiatories.  
They have so many beautiful flowers around the temple grounds!

I also completed a puzzle of Jesus.  

Steve and the boys went over to Dave/Joann's several times to help get their house ready to list.   They plan to list after Easter. Steve has been working on the laundry room, patching, painting, taping, etc.

Friday Steve took the boys to a park in Draper.  
That night we went to the rec center to go swimming.
 
Steve put up a duck picture in Carter's room (used to be from George, Dave's dad).  
Our pretty tulips and Daffodils in bloom!

Cute Hudson w/ his rainbow Popsicle.  Pretty Tulips w/ cool edges now in bloom

Saturday morning I helped w/ our stake baptism.  We only had 1 this time, so it was pretty easy.  We'll be in charge of the baptisms every 1st Sunday of the month (the Stake Primary Presidency).  That afternoon we headed up to Lagoon.

Hudson fell asleep on the way up to Lagoon.  Pretty Tulips in the park.  
In line for Primordial, our first ride of the day.

While waiting in line we enjoyed the beautiful flowers!

We finally made it on the ride!

Phill and Conor met up w/ us after Primordial.  Phill then took Nyles and Carter w/ him to do the "bigger, faster" rides.

Hudson having fun w/ Rob and going on rides w/ him.  Steve and I on the other one.  

Hudson and Steve went on the swings. Then we went on Bombora.

We did Tidal Wave, which got me dizzy, so I sat out for a bit.  I let Hudson go on some Kiddie Rides for a while.  He had a great time!  Steve went w/ Rob on Colossus and Spider.

Steve got 1st place, Nyles 2nd, me 3rd, and Rob 4th in Primordial.  We stopped and ate at Cafe Rio for dinner, then went home.  Hudson fell asleep on the way home as well.

Sunday, we walked to church, like usually (since we live so close).  Steve ended up going back home to help our neighbor Karolyn.  Their van broke down in the circle and they needed to get a trailer back that they rented, so Steve let them borrow our Honda Pilot.

Hudson by a cute Popcorn Tree at our church building.  He loves that song!  We made origami during sacrament meeting.  After church I made some sour dough.  This time 1/2 w/ cinnamon chips (because we ran out), and 1/2 just regular dough.

Sunday evening we went over to LuDean/Diane's place for dinner.  I made cheeseburger soup.  Cute Hudson loves to play in the dirt, even w/ his cute crack showing ;)  Conor dug w/ him as well.  Nyles has officially passed me up now, and is taller than me!  I knew this day would come.  I just thought it would be later ;)
