Spring Break!!!

Darin was going to take the boys camping during spring break, but that trip got cancelled. So, we decided to do the next best thing and camp out in the back yard!!! The kids looked forward to it for a couple days, (I think they had the most fun anticipating and planning) they had lots of fun planning and setting up their own tents. We had family home evening around the fire after roasting Bratwurst and making Smores. The girls and Boden actually slept outside all night! I was surprised, but then again Darin was out there with them all night....BLESS HIM!!! He had to work the next morning too....He is such a good Dad!!!

Tuesday we cleaned up and rested all day!!!

Wednesday I took the kids to the Phoenix Zoo..I think Boden really enjoyed his role as navigator to the zoo and navigator around the zoo. I just enjoyed watching him, I don't think I could have done that at 10 years old. We stayed about 3 hours, till Easton couldn't handle it anymore. He fell asleep on the way to Darin office which is only like 15minutes from the zoo. We went to Linner with Darin and then after work he took the kids to the movies while I went to Young Women's. It was a very full day!!

Thursday we rested and cleaned house!!

Friday (today) morning we're cleaning and waiting for Mellissa, Brody and Curtis!!! They'll be here this afternoon and stay till Saturday afternoon!!! We CANT WAIT to spend some QT with our Family!!!
