Playground

The weather is getting nicer, so we are going outside! The kids' school is our go to spot, even though they play there during all their recesses every school day.

 Ashlyn loves the monkey bars. 

 Amber felt like being super girl this day.

Amber's faces make me laugh.

This girl!

I love hanging out with this girl. I have been busy with my physics class, but I love taking time out to play memory or read books. I hope and pray she doesn't feel neglected. I have been trying hard to study when she is at preschool, but that is only 4 hours a week. Besides that I almost always have a friend or cousin over or her at a friends house to keep her busy when I have to study. 

 I thought this pictures was funny. I was doing a 5k run and they had jumpy house and face paining for the kids. But look hat her face! Doesn't she look like she wants to cry? She's got a stranger in her bubble, and she was super uncomfortable. 

Coast trip

I was invited to go with some friends to the coast for a weekend. It was lots of fun. I've never done that before. We rented a house near a lake. We ate good food, went on walks, talked A LOT, sat in the hot tub, visited light houses, watched a movie. Super fun! 

Braces

Tanner got his braces on last month. He is getting his upper jaw expanded, and then this summer he will have a bionator which will realign his bite.

Preschool fun

Amber's preschool teacher takes pictures of the kids and posts them on a Facebook page, so I stole these from there. She really enjoys her little, all-girl class.

Art Night

Every year the kids' school does Family art night. Nate works too late to go, so we recruited aunt Kris to come help. They decorated a journal, planted some seeds, folded envelopes, made a mask, hacky sacs and catapults. Fun night!

Random stuff

The YMCA is practically our home away from home. We are there a lot. Here is Ashlyn on the rock wall.

 Ashlyn got a new bike and gave amber her old one. She is doing well on it. Ashlyn is a good teacher and cheerleader.

The girls are doing swim lessons at the YMCA, I got lots of pictures of Amber over the last couple of months, so here is one of Ashlyn.

 Uncles and are always showing the kids funny videos on their phones. I have a picture like this of their uncle Braden doing it, and I know Matt has done it too. Uncle Shaun was showing them the "Pen Pineapple Pen" video. 

Basketball

The boys are playing basket ball again this year. We got really lucky and Dallin is on a team with a bunch of kids from school and church. Tanner is on a team with school friends and our neighbor so we carpool. 

These are just of Dallin. I have to get some pics of Tanner too. They are so horrible on my iPhone though. :(
