Spring Break Weekend


After being bitterly disappointed by the weather over spring break, we decided to spend the weekend at a resort at Park City. We've had cabin fever sooooooooooo bad and just wanted to get away. When we got there the power went out in the whole city and we couldn't check in for a few hours. We had to hawl our stuff around which made it very difficult to do anything. We ended up going swimming in a pool that couldn't be heated and even worse, the hot tub couldn't be used. I had to change into a swimming suit in a very tiny bathroom stall with a giant duffel bag hanging on the door. Never fun. Then Trey decided he didn't like his swim diaper and screamed for a good 10 minutes while running around the bathroom naked before he finally let me put it on him. All this effort and all I did was shiver and tried not to freeze to death. Luckily, by 6:30 the power came back on and we ended up having alot of fun. (Once my body temperature returned to normal that is.) My kids had a blast the whole time though. How can kids have such good attitudes? I can always learn something from them.

The morning we left, Damon left to give blood. We were all ready and waiting forever before he got home. The kids were so excited but wore themselves out by the time we actually left.
Sick of waiting for dad.

Trey kept Bailee, Damon, and me up for hours because he was either crying or talking loudly for anyone to hear. "BEE! You asleep?" "Trey. Go to sleep." "Ok. (2 seconds go by) I did it mom, I did it! I go asleep." And on and on.


Pretty girl.
Room service, please.
Playing in the closet. Oh the things that entertain kids.
Packed and ready to go home.
One last stop at the arcade room before heading home.

Easter

Happy post-Easter everyone! Hopefully everyone had as great of an Easter as we did. I tried to do some activities the week before Easter to help my kids understand the atonement and resurrection. We had many neat experiences as a family and now Bailee has entered a whole new level of spiritual questions. Guess I better study beforehand next year. We made Savior Cookies the night before Easter. I'll be posting the recipe with pics on my recipe blog soon, so check it out sometime this week.

They sell these pooping bunnies everywhere and it was actually pretty funny. It randomly poops as it walks. Am I too old to think that it's funny? Probably never.

Bailee woke up at 6:30 am on Easter morning, ready and waiting for our Easter egg hunt. Trey, Damon, and I were determined to sleep in, so the next 2 hours Bailee cuddled in bed with me and talked my ear off. I'm not gonna lie. All I heard was "Easter bunny" and felt alot of finger pokes in my back.

"Fooooooooooooball!" Trey had no problem figuring out which eggs were his.

The kids and their Easter bunny goods. Bailee was hoping the Easter bunny would hide her stuff better this year. Unfortunately, the Easter Bunny's husband left the pantry door open a crack where her stuff was hidden.




Saturday, we went to Damon's parents house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. So fun sorting the candy mound.

After probably 3 minutes of looking for candy, Trey brought some cars to me and said "I found!" as if he had discovered the greatest Easter find of all. From then on he quietly played cars on the coffee table. Well, at least until he threw one at Ryker's head and made him bleed.


On Friday I helped out with Bailee's class Easter party. My group did a cake walk. Trey apparently thinks he's a first grader.

One of these things is not like the other.

Got frosting?
