Spring Break

What a week so far and it's not even over. We celebrated Easter on Saturday with both our families so we weren't sure what we were going to do Sunday. After dinner we went to our favorite duck pond in Highland and walked around. It is beautiful there.



Monday we got caught up from the weekend. My kids had candy hang overs and were fighting like crazy so we went to a few parks to burn off some energy.


The weather was awesome on Tuesday. With temperatures near the 80s and no out door pools to go to we decided to get the sprinkler out in the back yard. My kids loved it and spent almost 2 hours playing in the water.


Wednesday we went to Kangaroo Zoo. James and Lynnlee had so much fun with their cousins. James especially looks up to Jack my oldest nephew. He was Jack's shadow the whole time. I wish I would have gotten a picture because they were pretty cute to watch.


Today was rainy so I took James and Lynnlee to the Bean Museum at BYU. I have never been and since it was raining we needed a good indoor activity. They enjoyed walking around and seeing all of the animals. Their favorite was the elephant.



My car broke down shortly after. After driving around in Provo and Orem all morning I'm glad it waited to break down one block from our house. Have you ever seen a 27 week pregnant woman push a broken down car off to the side of the road? It's not a pretty site. My kids were pretty confused with why I was pushing the car and not driving. Luckily the rain had let up and so it wasn't too bad. We didn't have to walk far to our house.

After towing the car to the mechanic, James and Lynnlee had fun walking in the rain together.

I'm excited to be stuck at home tomorrow after a busy week!

Two-Year Pics

I love my two-year-old girl even through all of the "terrible two" tantrums and melt downs. She keeps me on my toes. We had fun taking pictures of her and James. They are good buddies. She loves to copy everything he does.

TWO!

Lynnlee celebrated her 2nd birthday a few weeks ago. She loves telling people she's two and was so excited for her birthday. When she woke up she opened her presents. No, the picture below is not from Christmas even though the wrapping paper looks like it. I realized the night before I only had Christmas wrapping paper. Good thing kids don't care what their presents are wrapped in.

She wanted cereal for breakfast.

We didn't have much planned for the day but had only planned cake and ice cream that night. We ended up going to Kangaroo Zoo with some cousins spur of the moment. It was great and Lynnlee loved it!

James would be happy going to that place everyday if I took him.

That night we had my parents, Marshall's parents, and Katie and her girls over for cake and ice cream. Katie was visiting from Arizona so we were so happy she could join us!

Lynnlee attacked anyone who walked in the door with a present. She was like an excited puppy whenever anyone new walked in. She couldn't get enough of opening presents.

Homemade cake....doesn't look as cute as store bought but tastes way better!

Lynnlee needed help from her cousins to blow out her candles.

It is so exciting to celebrate another year with Lynnlee. Her check ups have all been positive and her doctors are happy with how well she is growing. Hopefully we won't have to worry about another surgery until next birthday.
