Spring Break Fun!

Trissy's Wedding!
Our good friend Trissy, from Rendezvous got married over Spring Break.
The kids love her because she loves to spend time with them, and take them places. I wonder if her new husband Mitch realizes how many adopted nieces and nephews he's just inherited.

Playing in the Legacy Fountain!
One day we met the Osguthrope family in SLC and took the kids to play in the fountain.
Ray, Bekah, Weston, Gunner, and Ellie
I'm so glad it was a nice, warm day.
The kids had a blast running through the water.
Bekah=pure joy!
Cheri and I had a good time just watching and visiting!
Spring Pictures!
The kids really needed new pictures, so I made an effort to take some.
Ellie~12
Weston~10
Bekah~almost 8Ray~5
The pictures turned out great, Ellie and Weston did a great job and I only had to take 2-3 to get a good one. Bekah and Ray were a different story. Bekah just kept getting sillier and sillier, doing her little poses, which just made Ray laugh, instead of smile. I finally found one of each that would work.

1st Cook Out of the Season!
We had a hot dog/brats roast on Sat. night. at Chris and Tiesha's new house.
Of course we also roasted marshmallows.
Ellie, Weston, and TieshaRay, Gramie, Grpa Blaine, and Lyn
It was a fun night!

Easter Egg Coloring Fun!
I had a few left over kits from previous years and just let the kids be creative.
Bekah dyed her eggs then painted them.
Ellie and Weston experimented with the dye for a rainbow effect.
Ray just stuck his eggs in a bunch of colors.

The Easter Bunny loot.

SURPRISE! Happy Easter!

A few things we did in March!Ellie gave Gramie Anderson, her very own concert for her birthday.
She played 4 songs for her. She is quite the violinist.

Ray learned to climb up in the weeping willow tree all by himself! He was so proud of this accomplishment, however he has yet to learn how to get down.
Weston had to make a tool box, for his last requirement to pass off his Bear, for cub scouts.
He liked running the sander, and did a great job on the box!
