Easter Huntin!


Such a fun Easter! Picnic (ended up being indoors of course) at my mom and dads with bunny bucks and candy. ( The kids loved that, they could buy a toy at Grandma and Granddads store) I attempted to make my Aunt Naidas famous carrot cake (i think she might have been happy with it). Sunday- Easter treasure hunt for baskets and I attempted to make the kids pose for Easter pictures (didn't go so well).

Our tough little Buddy breaks his arm :(


On Wednesday, Jake fell off a slide and landed just so on his left arm to break it right in half. Poor kid new all along and kept telling me, "it's broken Mom, call the ambulance!" I took him to the instacare and they advised us to take him to Primary Children's ER. That's when we knew it was serious. We stayed the night monitoring and trying to do pain control. The next morning surgery was delayed three times, but they finally got him in. Forty minutes and two pins later, fixed. We ended up with so many surprise visitors and helpers, it made the horrible experience into a time well spent with family. And lets not forget the amazing babysitters at home with Eva! Thanks Emm, Mom and Dad! Coming home was rough. (Realizing he couldn't do anything and trying to keep pain under control) Now, waiting for swelling to subside and then four weeks in a hard cast. Jake is such a strong kid, I am so proud of him for trying and trying more to overcome this obstacle!

Spring Break!



Monday: at the ZOO!
Tuesday: at the POOL!



Wednesday: Picnic in the hills and FOUR-WHEELING

Thursday- Saturday: CAMPING with Grandma and Grandad!!

We had such a fun week, thanks to an amazing Grandad! We had a plan for everyday and wore the kids out. It was so much fun, and I'm looking forward to summer (warmer days) and many more adventures with my kiddos and family! My kids are so much happier outside. I think I will camp the whole summer.
