Sunday nap

Chad attempted to get a Sunday afternoon nap, the kids don't quite get it...

Gymnastics

Debbie and I were invited to go to the BYU gymnastics meet with some friends for a mommy-daughter date. We've done this once before so Debbie was excited all day long, it was a GREAT bargaining tool! "Debbie, stop arguing with me or we can't go to gymnastics with Presley tonight." And then she listened!!! It was awesome... Anyway, the night before at dinner she was saying how she was so excited to go with Presley to watch 'kinastics' so I decided to correct her by saying, "No Debbie, it's ja- ja- gymnastics, with a J..." When she fails spelling we know which parent is to blame. haha!

The mom's had a lot of fun watching the gymnastics while the kids mostly enjoyed eating the treats we got them and running around. Overall, I think the night was a great success! See how happy these two cute girls are!

Spring!

Well, it seems that spring might finally be here and we've been enjoying every minute of it!
It's so nice to be able to leave the house without having to make sure that all three kids are wearing shoes and socks and coats etc. All I have to say is, "Let's go outside, put your sandals on!" And then just walk out the door...

I think Debbie had come and sat down on the stairs to pout and her cute friend Presley came over to help her be happy. Seems to have worked!

Everyone was outside taking advantage of the warmth! I love that the kids have so many friends to play with all the time.

It's been wonderful to enjoy the sunshine and give the television a rest! Yay for spring!!!

5k

I am feeling sore today (and will feel much more so tomorrow) because I walked/jogged the Rex Lee Run 5k this morning with a couple friends. Thank you Cynthia for encouraging us to do it! We finished it in 44 minutes, which is probably really slow, but I feel like we did great! Especially because we didn't 'train' for it AT ALL, it was a pretty spontaneous decision. It felt so great! I'm so proud of myself!

Anyway, here we are: Me, Cynthia Fallowfield and Tabitha Gibson

Bowling

We took the kids bowling last night, I think that's the first time we've done anything fun as a family, it was nice! Debbie didn't want to wear the shoes at first, so we had Isaac show her how it was done and after a few minutes she finally warmed up to the idea and let us put the shoes on her. Isaac loved it!
It was nice that they had the ramps to help the kids out, Debbie ended up beating us all!

Cosette handled the evening really well, she was passed off between everyone and was mostly content.

I've decided that I don't like bowling. Here's why: Debbie 125, Sara 116, Chad 112, Isaac 80, Nick 65, Leah 57
