April Random

 The kids love to light and blow out the candle.

Spring bike rides are the best. Getting out, fresh air, and sunshine
The tag along bike has been awesome with Liam. I think when he decides he's to big for it I'll probably be sad
A baseball weekend with Nic and her family. I love getting together and making more memories with them. Playing at the park and eating lunch in between games
With this tournament we decided to stay at the hotel for the night so we could stay longer and not have to drive back and forth. Lima was the only one that would stop in the pool long enough for me to get a picture. Funny story about this hotel. I had never been here and got a little last at the last minute I had to merge over to turn into the hotel. I guess what I did was illegal and I got pulled over. Luckily the officer was nice and let me off with a warning. Liam loved talking to the officer so Im glad someone enjoyed the experience.

Back to baseball. One thing with spring ball is the weather is unpredictable, one minute its warm and sunny and the next day everyone's in coats and blankets. We knew that it would do this so I was glad we had packed the sunshade and come prepared for the weather.

Making gummies with juice and gelatin...jury's still out on if the effort was worth it.

Take Your Kid to Work Day

 The kids love going to take your kids to work day at Layton and this year was no exception. Liam loves these jumbo Legos and that's where he spends most of his time. He even got kids together to build something bigger than they would alone

The girls made bird house to bring home to paint


They also had a waffle bar that they all enjoyed. Its fun to see where Matt works and for the kids to get to be a part of what they do there.

Baby Animal Days

 Baby animal days is such a fun tradition that we do over spring break every year. It is held in Wellsville just outside of Sardine Canyon. They have a variety of baby animals but some unlikely things are their favorites are the train and the panning for gold.

They had baby turtles for the kids to hold. Never got to do that before.


Of coarse Emy loved the bunnies
The bears are fun but there are so many people trying to see them it can be tricky to really get to see them. Liam got a boost so he could see the bears over all the other people




Panning for gold

And the train








So fun getting out enjoying the sunshine and having all the kids home for Spring Break
