Spring Break

Spring Break was April 5-9 I am just now getting to blogging about it. It was so fun to have Ethan home for the week. I am really looking forward to summer. I love having my kids here and on our schedule. I tried to plan fun things every day that didn't cost much.

Monday: Not fun We had to do laundry
Tuesday: Kid Swap with the Clarks. They have two boys Ethan and Jake's age. I took the younger boys and Candice to the older boys and they played all day. It was a lot of fun.
Wednesday: Jay's Jungle in Provo. Its a pet store. I didn't have my camera only my cell phone and its a new phone and I'm not sure how to get the pictures off. The boys loved it. The worker there was FABULOUS! He knew we weren't interested in buying anything but he got out almost every pet the kids wanted to hold. This included hamsters, rats, snakes, turtles, and a bearded dragon.
Thursday: We went to Provo canyon and had a picnic. It was a lot of fun. I didn't realize that the entire hike was paved. If I would have known that I would have brought my stroller. I have the sit 'n stand and Jake gets tired to easily. He was the reason we turned around when we did. Ethan and Ryan could have gone all day. I felt bad because I knew Ethan wanted to keep going. So here are some pictures. Emily with the boys walking. She's such a good sport to come along being 8 months prego. Thanks Em.

WE had to venture off the trial for a little exploring.


Ryan making his way down

Friday: We went and visited Janni at work. We went to lunch with her and Danny in the Joseph Smith memorial building. we also went to the church's museum in SLC and then to the radio station. Janni works with the radio guys.


At Janni's office her birthday eve

Ryan at the museum. sorry you can't see his face He was too interested in what was going on around him.


Ethan trying to throw a "stone" from his sling. There was a volunteer there that came and found us and asked if we would like to try it out. It was so nice of her. My boys really enjoyed it.






Here is the radio station.


The radio guy asked my boys lots of questions I thought their answers were so funny. Here are some of them.
Who is Joseph Smith?
Ethan "he's a big statue with scriptures"
Do you talk to Heavenly Father?
Jake "no"
Do you say your prayers?
Jake "yes"
What do you pray for?
Jake "you can ask Heavenly Father for things you want like a hamster"
What do you do for Family night"
Ethan "get spankings"
Where do you want to go on a mission?
Ethan" Arizona"
Jake " I want to go to Arizona too"
Who is your favorite aunt? (Janni was sitting right there)
Jake "Janni"
Ethan "Grandpa Ed"
Thank you Janni for helping us end our spring break with something so fun. We loved it.

How fun! I thought the Q&A part was so funny. Carter is also praying and begging for a hamster, must be a boy thing.

Oh my. That was quite the hilarious radio interview! "A big statue with scriptures" and "get spankings" are TOPS! ... and I see what you mean about the hamster, *snicker* sorry. No pictures of the dead mouse. Imagine the picture I took, but no more movement :P

We're done mourning the mouse, and looking forward to a dog or... seriously, chickens don't sound too bad, and are a lot less disgusting to me, for some reason. :)
