2016 ninety-five

We had each of the kids choose a fun thing to do on our Spring Break trip.
Abby and Cade both wanted to go surfing at the Flowrider back in our old stomping grounds, O Town.
We found some good deals online and had a blast trying to catch this wave...

First-instructions, then let's do this!
 His face says it all (like usual)
All business!

 The Surfers!  Right on duuudes!


Our next stop was to this sacred place, Brigger's grave in South Ogden.

Blessed

Peek-a- Boo!  We see you!
These crazy monkeys were climbing to the top of the maple trees this afternoon.

He had to make this face for the effect!  ha ha

 She just looks sweet, as usual.
I love that sunshine radiating through the branches. 
 Maybe spring is really here!

Abby has LOVED with a capital L learning the pole vault this year!  She seems to have a knack for it & it was fun watching her in action finally today.  Home meet at Central Valley HS.

Ready for the run

It's cool she knows how to do this, because I sure don't


Nice clearance!




Congratulations on a fabulous meet Abs!

Saturday Easter Celebrations

We had an awesome time at a neighborhood Easter egg hunt put on by our Bishop's family, the Julians.

How cool that the Easter bunny came hopping down the trail right before the hunt began.

Cal's new BFF ha ha

Bree loved it!

This cutie started hunting in the wrong age group area, so I told her to head out to the older kid's section.  She stopped right there & dumped out all of the eggs she had found before heading to the right spot.  I had not expected her to get rid of the eggs she already had, & that made it so her basket was less than full at the end, but she was such a good sport & didn't seem to mind at all.


He scored!

I can't get enough of this guy.  I love everything about him.

Here is the whole hunting crew with the famous Easter Bunny!



In the evening, we had pizza & decorated eggs with the Carters before heading to the local Seventh Day Adventist Church's "Journey to the Cross" production.  It was pretty incredible.

Coloring Eggs!!

Cal, Easton, Breezers

This is very serious business

Abs loves anything artistic or creative so this was right up her alley


Cal's proud of his purple!

While we were waiting for our tour to start, we sat in the chapel and were treated to some upbeat religious music by this band.  The kids were so enthusiastic they really got the performers going.  It was pretty funny.

The last supper reenactment

And...that's all the pictures I took, but it was a great experience and really brought things to life for the kids. Many from the community and other church's step up to volunteer & it is an amazing production.

Abby loved the play "Joseph" at the high school so much that she just HAD to go again.   
Cade was dying to see it as well so we dropped these two crazies off for the show, where they had a blast, as you can see from this fabulous selfie.

First Ever Track Meet!
She ran the 100 meters and did great!
Her real event is pole vault but they weren't quite ready for that yet. 

Tonight we got to take Abs on her big birthday date!
We ate at Olive Garden in Idaho...tasty!!

Then stopped at Michaels for a sec & Walmart to get her new bday mountain bike.It's perfect!
We grabbed fro yo after that & then headed to the high school musical, Joseph & the Technicolor Dreamcoat.  It was amazing!  Unreal for a high school production.  We knew a few people in it & had such a fun night with Abs.  Our little girl is growing up & this year has gone by way too fast!

Our Traditional Green Dinner Night shared with a few of Bree's friends (Maia & Morgan)

 Green shirt & eyes were a nice touch, Caders.

Yummy Gingerale straight out of the green can
We took turns reading St. Patty's Day trivia during dinner & I think we all learned something.   
 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Abs snagged my camera and headed outside this evening for some photography.  I always love her perspective and creativity! Beautiful!
