Spring Break, Hiking the "Y"




 Ethan



 Ethan and Kate









With a week long Spring Break we decided to find some fun things to do around town that we hadn't tried.  My bright idea was to hike the "Y" -   it was hard!!!  I really don't remember it being that long or steep.  The kids did great!  We were a little nervous with Ethan and Kate and how they would make it.  Really we had nothing to worry about - they took several breaks but ran most of the way.  Wish we all had that energy :)  After our hike we headed to Brick Oven for dinner.  Made for a fun first day of Spring Break!

Easter

 Kids with Grandmummy on Easter.  Sunday morning we got up early and headed to Ogden to go to church with Grandmummy.  The kids are doing so much better visiting another church.  They are great to accept we have differences in religions but can still be together and be respectful of one anothers beliefs.














 The Easter Bunny came!

 After we came home from Ogden, the kids discovered the Easter Bunny had visited our backyard!  A quick hunt before we took off to Grandpa and Grandma Bills' house for dinner.

Spring Soccer Starts!

 Ethan and Kate...Kate didn't play Spring soccer this year.  I just couldn't figure out what league to put her on and how it would work with everyone's schedule.  Big mistake on my part.  She was one sad little girl when she figured out she wouldn't be playing until fall.

This was the last season Emily and Savanah were on a soccer team with Estelle and Grace.  The girls decided to try out for a competitive league.  Estelle ended up trying out with them but not Grace.  It was bitter sweet to say goodbye to such a fun team they were part of for so many years!

This was also Justin's last year playing recreation soccer, he also decided to tryout for a competitive league.
