Midway with the Larsen's

We stayed the night in Midway on Thursday on our way to Hurricane, and also again on Friday the next week on our way back home to Cheyenne. Thanks to Lowell, we got a great rate on a room at the Zermatt. The kids just love to stay at the Zermatt, they like the pool and the breakfast. Grandpa and Grandma Larsen met us for breakfast, it was delicious, Isaac is still requesting bacon for breakfast. It was nice to see them and visit with them. Grandma Larsen found the way to Isaac's heart-vending machines! Isaac has always loved vending machines, he will do almost anything for a few quarters if I tell him he can use them in a vending machine. Grandma let Isaac pick a treat twice, he thought that was cool. Grandma Larsen also gave them some coins to throw into the wishing well, Isaac wished for the toothpaste dispenser(I'll post about this later). On Friday night, we met Adam and Adalee for Easter festivities at the Zermatt. There was a dinner, egg decorating and face painting. We all had a good time there and then ended the night with a brisk swim in the pool. Adalee is great with Sophia and Savannah, they really like her. It was nice to see you all.

Spring Break in Utah

The kids and I had planned on driving to Utah on Sunday, April 5th, but the weather changed our plans. We decided to caravan with my friend Becky, who was visiting her family in Heber. We made our decision to leave on Thursday morning to beat the storm, so I had just a few hours to pack for myself and 3 kids. It was nice to have someone to drive behind, it's just more comforting. It was a good idea, because Saturday was a blizzard in Cheyenne, I'm glad we missed it! Nick was stuck in Cheyenne working, and I felt bad that we were enjoying much better weather in Southern Utah. We had a great time visiting family, it was a great spring break for me and the kids. It was a lot of fun for the kids to play with their cousins, they really don't get to see them enough. Isaac enjoyed a day in Lund with Grandpa Reeve and Bryn. We had a nice girl's shopping excursion, lunch at DQ, getting body tested on the wii fit(after eating at DQ) and just good times playing out in the sun. Bethany celebrated her 10th birthday while we were there, Happy Birthday Cutie! We all got to go to the movie with her, we saw Monsters Vs. Aliens, it was a fun party. I really love my family, it was a nice week, thanks.

Field trip to the Doctor's office

Teacher Ann took her preschool class to the Children's Clinic for a very informative field trip. The children were each weighed and measured, had their heartbeats listened to and their reflexes tested. Dr. Stampfli was a good teacher, and we all had fun.

3rd attempt

After church a few weeks ago I told the kids I wanted to take a picture of them. Nick helped Isaac get dressed and I thought he did a particularly good job of making Isaac look handsome(it's not hard, he's such a cute boy!) Sophia and Savannah were wearing a new dress and their cute sweaters that Grandma Larsen gave them for Christmas. I just imagined it would be easy to snap a photo of them, but after the third attempt with no success, I just let them go play. Is it that hard to get 3 kids to look at you, keep their eyes opened and smile at the same time? Apparently!

Snow Day

We were awaken at 5:15 a.m. this morning by a phone call, it was the Laramie County School District with an automated message informing us that school was canceled due to inclement weather. I had just climbed back into bed when Nick's cell phone started ringing, I answered it and heard the same message. After hanging up, I Immediately heard my cell phone ring, alright, I think we got the message! But just in case, they emailed me too. So today is a catch up day, we're stuck at home and it's kind of nice. It's been too long since I've posted, so I'll try to catch up. I shot a few photos this morning, mostly just snowy shots, but please notice my new spring wreath and my poor Gerber daisies that Sophia, Savannah and I planted and have been watering and admiring, too bad I didn't take them in the garage and out of the weather. We have had one or two days of Spring weather, but it still feels like Winter to me.
