Skating Fun!!



We got to go to a fun skate night for the school. The kids had so much fun on their scooters and playing games. Ethan and Dad were at Young Men's. I, of course, forgot my camera so here are some after pictures. One of the games Paige played was that grabby game that no one ever wins. You know the kind where there are a bunch of toys in there and you move that arm where you want it and then it opens up and drops and then closes. Then you get to see if you grabbed a toy. Well, Paige got a toy. She calls it her Hello Kitty although, it doesn't really look like Hello Kitty. I actually really dislike stuffed animals and I don't think this one is cute at all, but she is really excited about it. Hmm, I wonder how long I have to wait before I can send it to DI. It was fun to win something at one of those games though.

Easter



We spent Easter at Grandma and Grandpa's this year. Aunt Kristy and Uncle Tom were blessing baby Alice early Sunday morning so we decided to spend the night. Paige and Hayley were in their new Easter dresses from Grandma Meibos and the boys looked good too.

After church we got to see what the easter bunny left us. Here are the kids lined up for the hunt.



While running after eggs Paige slipped in her pretty white shoes and got a big scrape on her leg.



She was all smiles later. Here she is with Hayley and her cousin Abby.



We had a very nice, enjoyable Easter with family.

Spring Break

For fun during spring break we decided to head town south to the good ole' BYU. We had lots of fun. They had an exhibit and the Art Museum by Walter Wicks the guy who makes those fun I Spy books. I didn't realize he actually made models for all the pictures that are in his books. It was really cool to see the things he was able to do. He is very talented.



We also went to the Eyring Science Center and checked out their fun exhibits. We got to eat at the Wilk and then got ice cream cones at the Creamery.



Ethan and Brock helped keep their cousin Sophie moving on campus.

Soccer season is upon us!



Soccer has begun and we have it 4 days a week. It keeps us very busy. The kids haven't had many games yet because it has been so coooold! Here are the kids taking team pictures while freezing their tushies off (Brock's photographer said "think Hawaii")

On your marks, get set, go!!!

Brock was able to compete in our ward's pinewood derby this year. I don't know who was more excited Brock or his dad. Brock won the prize for the most aerodynamic car, we don't get too creative at our house, luckily we found a gorilla sticker and a number 7. Brock also won first place in the race. He was very proud of this. Needless to say Jeff was happy about it too. Jeff had to work that night and had left work to catch the races. He got going a little late and called me for the play by play. He missed all the main racing but got there just in time to see a couple races and take the glory. He proudly told me he's two for two now (Ethan's car took first place a few years ago). Brock really enjoyed being able to work on his car with his dad.

It's tramp time!!



A few weeks ago we decided it was time to put the trampoline back up and get the kids outside. We did it for family night and it was pretty late by the time we finished. I hope the neighbors didn't mind out late night jump.
