April

April.  It means Easter.  It means Spring.  It means Spring Break.  We took full advantage of Spring Break this year and played and played!  We took a trip to Wheeler Farm.  We took a trip to the Children's Museum. We wished we could take that trip to Oregon again like we did last year, but it just wasn't in the cards for this year.  Our local trips had to do for this year, and we made them as fun as they could be.  

At Wheeler Farm we fed the ducks, saw the animals, pet the horses, played on the tractors, played in the tree house, looked for tad poles, played in the stream, and even found a snake in the water.  It was a great day at the farm!







Dylan scored us some free tickets to the Children's Museum.  We played and played!  We enjoyed the balls, the construction site, the store, the water table, the house, delivering mail, working in the grocery store and taking food to the house, the new hospital exhibit that goes with the helicopter, doing a tornado simulation (well, Lauren didn't like that after about 5 seconds and I had to pull her out), and so much more!  What a great place it is!!






The kids wanted to try this wind tunnel.  Lauren's hair looked pretty awesome, but she both her and Austin got scared as the wind picked up and I had to pull them out quick.


Soccer started back up for Austin and Ethan. Austin wasn't going to play just like in the fall, but suddenly decided to and did great.











I get so many comments on how big Ashlyn's eyes are. She likes to do something like this when she is looking at something new, or someone new, or just because she is surprised or being inquisitive.

 And I love her cheeks!


Lauren thinks she has a doll to push around and play with.  Ashlyn sure is a cute "doll."



 Lauren is such a sweetie.  She is content just playing by herself. She thought this tower of tissues she made was pretty great.




Dylan had another great year of baseball  Here he is batting.  He was so excited when the coach let him play catcher at the end of the season a few times.  Catcher is by far his favorite position.  I can's say I blame him.  Its a great position!



Dylan did  Lego Mindstorm competition.  They had a few classes to teach the kids how to program the robots, and then the last day they were supposed to have their robot do a specific obstacle course, and they had to figure out how to make their robot do it.  Their robot didn't do quite as good as they hoped, but he learned so much great stuff and had a great time!



 Love these two!!




Dylan and Jayden were lucky to go to General Conference again!  What great opportunities have.  Hopefully some day they will realize how special it was for them to go.  They enjoyed it, but I think they just don't know how spoiled they are to have tickets to go.
