School's Out & Livy's Birthday

I finished my 10th year of preschool! I can't believe it's been 10 years! Timmy and I had a fun 3 year old class this year. 

Clark, Braden and Susie finished kindergarten, 3rd and 5th grade. Olivia and I picked them up in the party bus. It wasn't much of a party because of the tears though! Clark was crying when I picked him up because he is scared of starting first grade. He wants to stay in half day kindergarten forever. Susie was crying because she said she will miss her friends and teachers over the summer. We dried our tears and got ice cream cones and had a water gun fight at the park. 

We celebrated Olivia's 26th birthday. We had a tea party and went hiking and made homemade chocolates and saw the new Top Gun movie. It was a fun weekend! 

 

Henry Turns One!

Our baby is one! It's so fun to watch him grow. He started walking at 11 months and we were shocked! He's definitely our quickest walker. He take 2 naps and sleeps through the night. He loves being outside and getting into everything. He dances to music. 

He loves spaghetti and strawberries and grapes and homemade bread and pizza! We had a fun pizza party for him. Paul's family drove up for the occasion and it was a great time. 

 

Easter

Here are some Easter and April photos. We dyed eggs and made deviled eggs. Paul had to work Easter weekend so we spent Easter at my mom's in Cedar. We had an Easter egg hunt and lots of yummy food. Each day during the Holy Week we read about Christ and the week leading up to His resurrection. I hope I can help my children to gain a testimony that Jesus Christ lives. Looking to Him and trying to be like Him is the greatest blessing of my life. 

I'm so grateful that because of Jesus Christ I can be with my family forever. 

 

Spring Break

We thought we had a great idea to spend some time in Idaho for Spring Break. We love Idaho and love walking around Rexburg and BYUI with the kids. We planned to visit Shoshone Falls and Craters of the Moon and Lava hot springs. The weather was freezing though! We had to cut our trip short because it was cold and windy and Henry wasn't feeling well. (We took him to the doctor when we got home and he had ear infections). 

 

We tried to find things to do in Pocatello and ran across the Museum of Clean. It was pretty odd. 

We got to spend some time together and we survived. Hopefully next Spring Break goes better!

After we were home we spent some time at Nicoles. She taught me how to make chocolates. We made orange filled milk chocolates and they were yummy! I'm excited to try some different variations. 

Henry is 11 months old now and..... walking!! We've never had a baby walk this early so we are excited. It's fun to watch him.
