Beginning of April

Joseph is looking hard for his easter eggs. This picture is out of order.
Zachary liked the picture he colored.
First time watching conference upstairs.


Snow during spring break!  We wanted to go to Goblin Valley in the RV, but it was too cold to winterize it.
trying out our new snow mobiles in the backyard.
We played with Christopher's pickleball set (bday present) at the church during our spring break staycation.


We went to the nicklecade. Adalyn found a friend.
She loved these little rides.
And Emma.  We also went to the springville rec center....Provo rec is better overall, but springville does have 2 fun slides.


Snow mobile!


Adalyn's not so sure about the snow.


Melting quickly.


I bought a bunch of hats at the doller store for a mother/daugher activity at church.
Christopher asked a girl to Prom
Emma found lots of eggs!
So did Adalyn!
Comparing?  Sharing?
Only a little bit of snow left by Saturday.  Michael is great at finding eggs.
Is Zach the easter bunny?
Matthew also found a ton.
Christopher isn't too old for candy.
The kids thought it would be fun to use their pillow cases.  I didn't like this because it got candy melted inside, and they got dirty.
Makayla found some eggs.
Matthew running all over the place.
Zachary knows the trampoline is a great place for eggs.
Emma found one in the snow!

Adalyn is the easter bunny now.
Emma is so excited to get eggs!
Adalyn first.
Emma can reach!
Sorry these are out of order.
Put it in the bucket.
Not so sure of this activity, but she will love it.

Sun burn!  It's been awhile since we've seen the sun.

typo, but had to show Christopher.

Emma selfie.
The weather is nice enough to play outside during preschool!



Dance party during preschool, dancing to a song about the seasons.
Adalyn is making some "spring trees"
Emma made some too.



Emma and Mom did a puzzle together.
Silly Matthew wanted in on the picture.
Cute Emma after a bday party.

Makayla's science fair

Makayla and her friend Zoe at the school science fair.  They tested us on skittle samples to see if we could guess the flavor correctly.  (Rob used to think they all tasted the same!)


Makayla loved having her sisters visit her at school


They were invited to the district science fair.



Makayla biting her metal like an olympian.


Accepting her award.


She's so excited!


At districts.
They went on to BYU!  I drove them, then met Rob at the temple 5 mins away, since parents aren't invited to the judging.  We did sealing for those that have died, so their marriages won't last only until death do they part, but for eternity.  In there was a 70 yr old couple who had just been sealed themselves that week!! They were being sealed for his parents, aunts and uncles who taught him to play the guitar, etc.  It was very special to be there.  Rob had to run back to work, but I stayed and did some initiatories because there was a sign saying they had openings.  I got back in plenty of time to help take down their poster and pick up the girls.
 

End of March

Makayla's book club watching Matilda...the movie we watched for book club.
Makayla's march madness bracket.

Look at her leading the pack!
Makayla's hair after camping.  I should have braided it!  They went winter camping and it wasn't too bad temperature wise.
A mouse came home with them on accident.


Zach pulled the girls around the neighbor's yard.



Checking out the new library!
Joseph, Matthew, Emma, and I helped bring one load of books from the old library to across the street to the new library.  They closed the road for an hour for us to do this.  There was a long line, so we only had time to move one load.

Emma wearing the outfit Makayla wore for Aunt Calais' wedding 6 years before.
We went to the traveling tabernacle in Springville.  Then later Rob and Christopher provided a few hours of night security.
Birthday boy! Now an adult!
A fun progressive dinner!


Emma fell asleep on me.
Joseph giving Zach a high five or hug when he was awarded at the assembly.




 

Beginning of March

Learning about flags at preschool.
Zach's hair has a stripe of blond in the middle.
Emma's tricks with dad.


The park opened! We noticed when we drove by to go to the store, so we stopped by for a bit on the way home from the store.

 I Love this picture!!
