SPRING BREAK

Last week was Spring Break. I tried to do something fun with the kids every day. It was a lot of work with four kids.

On Monday I took the kids with their great cousins, Bryton and Cameron, to the discovery park for a picnic. The kids had fun but I was worn out by the time we got home.




On Monday night we went to Chuck E. Cheese for their cousin Brady's 3rd B-Day party. The kids love to go there. The boys also went to Chuck E. Cheese on Tuesday for lunch with their friends.




On Wednesday we went up to Salt Lake and went out to lunch with Ryan and fam. The kids had a lot of fun.




On Thursday I was worn out so I took the kids to the Dollar Store to choose toys to play with on our ride to St. George. Sorry, I didn't take pictures

On Friday we went to St. George with my mom (Grandma) and my brother and sister and their kids. It was a lot of fun. We did a lot of swimming and had fun hanging out with fam.

Gabe got some fun presents from his fam.



Today, Monday, April 7th, Gabe had his friend birthday party. We went bowling with ten of his friends. His wonderful Dad and cousin Aislynne came and helped.



All the kids seemed to have a lot of fun bowling. Ryan was wonderful setting everything up and cheeing everyone on.



Aislynne helped Sterling with bowling. She had to bowl herself too. She is just the best cousin!
