APRIL

 

2-Babysat Hailey, she is so cute and Ady had a great time with her.  So happy Ady was home, she kept her hoppin'!!! 

5-Scott's birthday. We had him over for lunch. He chose calzones.  We got him lots of fun presents, the kids had a good time finding things at the dollar store.  We also sent balloons with messages up to Trevor.  Later we went to Leatherby's with the WHOLE family for dinner and icecream.  Got to meet Jenelle.  It was good times.
6-Tanner and Dad went on a winter campout.  I heard it was cold and good times were had.  Sorry no  more details, Davis isn't so good at details.  I went to dinner with the Strong girls for McKell's not wanting a bridal shower.  It was fun, with yummy food and good company.
7-Took Ady to Allie Tyson's play....she was Tweedle Dee in Alice in Wonderland.  Seriously the best elementary play EVER!  Okay Kade's was fab, seriously wish Tanner went to that school.  LOL it was great and Ady had a good time.

8- Easter-Wonderful day....church, then off to Harrington's.  I can't say it enough I love my Harrington cousins.  The food was fabulous I got to hear about the Israel-Egypt trip, can't wait to see pictures!!!  We had a great egg hunt and Bunny Bazaar....Merrilynne is beyond talented.  It was good times, really good times!!!!

10-Kids back on track, Bennett off track

14- Bree wedding shower...such a cute preggo.  The Harrington girls did a fun brunch with yummy waffles, the pumpkin ones were to die for....I need to get the recipe. 
18-Mckell and Alex getting married...oh yah!!!!
19- Tanner had his maturation program.  Let's just say Mom was thrilled she didn't have to go.  Thanks to Davis for going and having "The Talk!!!"

25-29 Orlando with the Hubby! What can I say....best trip ever!  We had so much fun at Universal, Harry Potter-ville was AWESOME!!!  Lines were short and great company.  The butterbeer was delish.  The weather was wonderful!!!  Davis and I went to Disneyworld and Epcot for a little while.  Definitely not long enough, but decided Cali was just as good for the kids.  No need to bring them to Orlando, except for the Harry Potter stuff.  Thanks Mom for watching the kids, you are the best!
29-5th Sunday dinner with the Blomquist side...so much fun pretty much everyone was there.  Got to meet Kim, Tyler's bride to be.....she is awesome, we are fast friends.

MARCH 2012

MARCH

3-RS stake activity! Loved it, yummy food, great classes, fun company!! The Parenting class needed to be much longer and it was much needed. The service project was fun but we didn't finish which our little group was super bummed about.

5-Matthew turned "6". Oh boy, he wanted mac and cheese, broccoli and green grapes for dinner. He also wanted chocolate/chocolate cake. Mom wanted to make it a Beyblade cake, but the darn thing fell apart, oh well, he loved it. He got new Beyblades. Took donuts to school and was crazy happy all day long. In the morning he came into my room and with the biggest grin on his face said, "Mom do you know what today is....it's a special day?" I guessed all sorts of things and his smile got bigger and bigger until I said his birthday. I then told him a little about when he was born.

7-Bennett parent teacher conference

9-Games with Mike and Mindy. Yummy food, warm weather and then a good movie for the kids...but most of all Dominion. A new game that Davis and I are obsessed with. Anyone want to play?!?!?!

10-Hollywood connection with the kids for Matt's birthday. He wanted to go mini golfing. We had lots of fun skating (okay the kids didn't like that part since they fell down so often) mini golf and rides. Perfect family day!
14-Day of green....we had fun making leperchaun traps.  The leperchaun brought treats and coins but didn't get trapped.  Lots of glitter was used and it was a MESS!!!!
16-Kids go off track-Went to friends for dinner and games. Played Dominion....we are so addicted, ordered it that night!! The kids had a ball playing outside and then when it got dark and cold they came in and watched Puss in Boots. Kids love show!
20-24 Tanner and Ady went to Grandma and Poppies and then St. George....nice way to spend the first week off track.

20- Got Dominion...it's a game and we are addicted!!!! Davis also got an Ipad for his early birthday present. man that boy and his electronics.

21- Took the 3 youngest to eat at Sizzler....man they love that place. Too bad after the first plate Matt got a bit quesy and pale. This kid has such a soft stomach sometimes. Grrr!

22-Went to McDonalds for lunch with the Seelos. Told matt we could do McDonalds once while the kids were gone. Bennett lost his car and I seriously thought the temper tantrum would be awful, but he surprised me. Way to go Bud!!!

Davis and I went to FASTRAC for a date. He rode into work with a friend and I picked him up from work. We had a groupon for a 10 minute race (each) and pizza. The race was fun, but I was too cautious and scared. Maybe if we go again at some point. I'd rather he go with some friends and I watch. the pizza was nasty but oh well, I didn't go for pizza. Big thanks to Kaylene for watching the kids. Poor girl had a nasty blowout with the boy that should be potty trained. UGH sorry!!!!

23-Went on another date with the Hubs! Oh yah! Got to go see Hunger Games. Oh man, such an awesome movie. Still makes me sick thinking about it. Went with the Seelos and had icecream after. Such a good time and a cute new babysitter...so happy!

24-Day started out driving down to Layton to get Ady and Tanner. The 4 oldest then had a primary activity and I stayed home with Warren. Cleaned the garage so needed, but not anywhere close to being done.

Had friends over for a barbecue and games. Played Dominion (seriously we are addicted and now our friends are too....YAY!!!) The kids get along so well. They played outside for a long time. We then sent the kids to bed and played some more. Oh yes!!!!

26-Sorted clothes and got out summer stuff. Lots of sorting and organizing, lots of kids help.....lots of stress. So happy to be done and kowing that we are pretty darn good in that area and don't need to buy much for right now.

27-Went to Layton to visit Mindy...oh yah!!! Love when we can spend the day hanging out, eating and getting vinyl done. The kids played outside and it was NICE!!!!

28-Davis turns "33"  Made a delish dinner.  He got a new ipad and flew to Seattle the next day.
