A Walk at Bountiful Pond

We have this neat little pond about 5 minutes from our house and have tried a couple times to take a walk by it- only to be eaten alive by mosquitoes! Well, the stars aligned for us this weekend and we had a lovely time walking, feeding the ducks and enjoying the sunshine!

We finally came upon a few ducks and one in particular was going wild over our bread! Well, yeah, it was homemade- perhaps that's why he was eating out of our hands?!? Ha! As much as I'd love to pat myself on the back for providing gourmet crumbs for the duckies, I think this little guy would have eaten a shoe if we tossed it to him...

A Day in Farm Country

A few weeks ago we took advantage of Adrian's Friday off and spent a few hours in Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. I don't think the pics show just how freaking cold it was! Wow! We would have stayed longer had I actually brought myself a jacket! The kids- no, they were totally taken care of, it was ME who was frozen!

They all loved the animals though, especially the horses. I think this pic is hilarious- Hailey actually had a great time riding the pony. In every single picture though she looks terrified! Poor kid! Maybe she didn't have fun?!

We topped off the drive home {which is only about 30 minutes} with a family nap. Don't worry, Adrian didn't nap, he drove. But we both love it when family trips end like this! Ahhh- silence!

Love those Spring Snow Storms...

It's a joke here in Utah- if you aren't enjoying the weather, wait 10 minutes and it will change. It's true though, especially in the Spring time. It's no big deal for yesterday to be 35 degrees and snowing and today to be 60 degrees, sun shining, birds chirping. The kids seem to love it. If they wake up and see snow outside, it's like a race to see how quickly they can get their snow gear on! Fun to watch...

Without fail, I always catch Hailey eating the snow. Even if she has to scrape it off the slide, or pick it up off the grass. Gotta love her!

There's something very wrong about this picture. Here are all my garden starts, begging to go outside. Yeah, not just yet...

Easter 2010

So apparently the entire month of April was either very busy or too boring to blog about. LOL. I actually think it was a bit of both. At any rate, we did celebrate Easter this year and thought I should show you some pics to prove it.

We had the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Nana & Grandpa's house. The weather was on the cool side, but the kids were all too sugared up to notice. It was fun.

We had a great time hunting for Easter eggs Sunday morning too. Each year the Easter bunny gets more and more creative...and each year the kids catch on faster! Once Colin discovered chocolate inside he'd had enough hunting and moved on to attempting to open the eggs in some undisclosed location in the house in an attempt to each as much as he could before Adrian or I caught on. That was a fun game.

Later on we dyed the eggs. Well, Colin opted to eat them instead. I can't remember how many he ate, he just kept asking for more! Funny kid.

Thomas and Hailey thought coloring the eggs was super fun and so we let them just color away. I think it occupied them for at least an hour. It was a great weekend...
