April Random

 The medicine cabinet has become quite congested with the addition of homeopathics and supplements so I decided it was time to get it all organized and really figure out what was expired, what we use, and what we needed more of.

For activity days we made Christ centered Easter egg baskets. The girls did a really great job and they turned out super cute

Liam loves building and did a great job with their "house with lights and power

I love when the snow sits heavy on the trees it is so beautiful and peaceful

The kids have been on a kick of making these animals for me so I put them on my night stand

Liam has become creative in getting outside in the sun with all the snow. The fort on the deck was a fun way to pass the time.

The kids put together sweet note about themselves and for the person next to them for activity days

Tired while playing

Emy lost her tooth. She always gets a little nervous to loose them then is excited for the tooth fairy to come

There has been so much snow this year and the ice dams have been hard to keep up with. We ended up with some damage and had to dry out some carpet and have the dry wall touched up. So frustration but we need to get heat tape up so this doesn't happen again

Side walk chalk for the win

Rad recess for the win. The elementary school has one day a month where parents are invited to have lunch with their kids and then play at lunch recess. Matt has been so great to go and be with the kids when he's in town for these and they love it

As the piles of snow have melted it has revealed our yard completely destroyed by voles. They eat thru the gass to live off the roots for the winter. We have a lot of clean up to do. This is the 1st year this has happened. We need a better plan for this fall to help next year

Just a visual of the amount of snow we got this year

Girls Piano Recital

When Joy started teaching the kids piano during Covid I wasn't sure if it would Continue. It has continued and I'm so grateful that the kids get this time with her. There time with her is pretty limited as she likes to keep herself busy so Im glad they get a little connection with her

Taking Emy's Baptism Pictures

I was really excited that Emy's birthday falls about the same time as the blossoms bloom at the Capital in Utah. Matt and I drove down with her early on a Saturday morning hoping to miss the crowd. It turned out so beautiful and Matt did a great time. We got done just in time to grab lunch and head home to the rest of the kids

Go to Work With Dad Day

 This was our 1st bring your kids to work day and they couldn't wait to see what it was all about. Liam was quick to find a hard hat and vest and made his way to the giant legos. He found a group of little boys and they built a huge towner. Liam kept saying I can't believe everyone is listening and doing what I said

Gracie opted for a bird house

The love of my life...wouldn't want to live life without him

Emy the organizer

Then a bird house

The whole group

The amazing tower

We missed Hallie as she was at a track meet

They had donuts afterwards for refreshments

Then we headed to a health conference near the office it was fun but not quite what I was anticipating so it was a quick stop

Then we found out that there was a car show down the hall and had to go check it out. Each of the kids picked their favorite car to have a picture with

Growing up my grandparents had an elcamino. It brought back a lot of memories with them

At the bring you kid to work day Liam got an helicopter and he and Matt worked on it when we got home. It was a fun project for them

The finished project

Im grateful that Matt has a great job that allows us so many freedoms. One of the many is the financial ability that I have to be home with the kids full time
