Spring Break 2013

We had a fun and busy spring break! This week has made us very anxious for summer!
Monday was chore and laundry day. We made our list of things we wanted to do this week. 
 Tuesday was a rainy day, so we made the best of it and built an awesome fort  in the living room. 

 While Gwen slept, we played some serious rounds of War and Uno.

 Gwen had a big week. She is officially done nursing. She has done really well putting herself to sleep at night. Mommy has been in pain this week, so while I sat on the couch covered in heating pads, Gwen would sit next to me and we would read her favorite stories. She LOVES "5 Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed".
 Wednesday we finally had some sunshine, so we packed up a lunch and headed to the park. We spent some time playing baseball. Adam is getting ready for Coach Pitch to start next month. 



 We had a nice picnic and then went crazy on the playground. Gwen was all over everything!

 Adam found some buddies from church to play with Tessa found her preschool buddy, Cooper. They ran around for an hour playing Darkwing Duck.

 I followed Gwen around for about an hour while we patiently waited for a baby swing to open up. She loves to swing!

 After the park, we drove down to Payson to check on our temple. It's coming along!
 Thursday we headed up to Orem for some miniature golfing! I loved golfing with these two because they had no clue how to play. I heard lots of, "Yes!!! I got a hole in 15!!"





 I surprised them with a fun lunch out at In-N-Out and then we headed to Ma's house to visit Aunt Katy who had her tonsils out this week. 
 Gwennie loves her french fries!!
 Earlier in the week, Adam found out that his favorite waffle truck would be in Spanish Fork on Thursday. He decided to add that to our list of things to do. 

 He helped me order our dessert that night and we all shared a delicious waffle from Waffle Love!



 Friday was grocery shopping day-and I say day because it ends up being an all day event with kids in tow. Thankfully, Adam was a huge help with Gwen while we were at Walmart and I didn't leave the store in tears like I do most other shopping days. She thinks she should get to push the shopping carts and it always ends in both of us very frustrated and her screaming!
We waited for Daddy to get home to do our Costco shopping. The kids had been anxiously awaiting their Costco frozen yogurt. 
This weekend we enjoyed another wonderful General Conference. The kids had a lot of Conference activities to do and first thing Saturday morning, they made their Conference crowns.
 Tessa had to lead us all in the rest hymn. 

 They did a good job keeping track of when the Apostles spoke to us. 
Adam is excited to go back to school and tell Mrs. Riley that he read over 7 hours this week (that's not counting the hours he read at bedtime every night). Tessa is excited to see all her preschool friends, and I am sad to have our fun week come to an end. We have big changes coming in the next 2 weeks. More on those soon....
