I hate April!

Why do I hate April?!? Because April is nothing but a tease! A mean, horrible tease! Like when you're parents said, "If you clean your room, I'll give you $1." And when you go to claim your reward, they tell you they need the trash taken out too before you get that dollar. Then the laundry. Well we woke up this morning to snow. Snow in April isn't bad in itself, it is Utah after all. But, it's a roller coaster of weather. For example, yesterday, it was snowing and as the picture illustrates, it will be 72-degrees in a couple days. It's been back and forth beautiful, sunny weather followed by snow! It's just not fair to tease us with spring that way.

Easter

Easter was one of the best and worst days to date. We had a great Easter dinner with the family and enjoyed a great Easter egg hunt.

Here is Jaxson and Alexander looking for more eggs.

Aiden in filling is basket up real quick running from room to room to get all the eggs he can!

All the kids in the living room hunting for more eggs.

Jaxson opening his eggs to find what he got. He made out with about $23 dollars!

Aiden and Nanna opening his eggs. He got about $14 dollars.

Taylor found a spot under the piano where no one could reach her to open her eggs in the middle of the hunt and eat all the candy she could!

Alexander counting his eggs. Not sure how much money he ended up with.

Kids playing around!

At the end of the evening I received a phone call from my mother informing me that Copper had torn out a nail. She was having a hard time stopping the bleeding so they were going to take him to the vet. Once we were to the vet the bleeding had stopped but unfortunately due to Coppers battle with bone cancer it was his time to move on. Copper was my puppy and the BEST dog in the world! He will be greatly missed. We all knew this day was coming but it was the second worst day of my life.

Until Next Time...

Califorina!!!

Last week Suzanne went with her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law to California. They went to Disneyland, the park, the beach, the ice cream shop and many more places. On their first day there everything thought it would be a good day for a walk to the park. After two days in the car everyone was ready for some exercise. The kids had fun playing with all their cousins at the park. As you can imagine, sand got anywhere and everywhere!

The next day was the big day, Disneyland! It was a day full of many emotions. Happiness to finally be there, misery in the hot sun (not too bad for CA), frustration with the long lines (again not too bad considering it was Spring Break), tiredness from walking around in the sun all day, and sleepiness on the car ride home. The kids had so much fun they wanted to go back again.

The next day we ventured to the beach. It was wonderful weather and it was there were not many people at the beach. The kids enjoyed the picknick at the beach and loved playing in the sand. The surff was really big that day and the waves were amazing to watch. We had fun playing in the water seeing how close we could get to the water without getting scarred. Despite the sunburn, it was a great day at the beach!

On Tuesday we spent most of the day at the mall and enjoyed walking around from shop to shop. We had a great lunch at a restruant in the mall and loved go around to all the different fountains in the mall.

Wednesday we went back to Disneyland to catch the last rides we missed from Sunday. It was a nice day and there were many clouds over head to help keep the sun off our shoulders. We went on many rides and left mid day. Everyone was worn out and needed some rest. Later that evening Suzanne and Becca went back to catch some of the bigger rides.

Thursday was the long drive home which went really well. We made great time and got back to SLC before 10 pm!

Here are some pictures from the trip. Enjoy.
