Field Trip

I went with Jarod's Kindergarten class on their field trip to Wheeler Farm today. It was TOO HOT!! We all got sunburned, but had fun anyway. I don't think Jarod or his BFF Nicholas like the pigs. What do you think?

Too Funny

Do you think Joey likes to go on walks?



This is actually a rather calm reaction compared to normal.

Spring Break and Easter Stuff

Our plan for spring break was to head down to Capital Reef, like we usually do. However, we checked the weather forecast for that weekend and it was only supposed to be 40 for the high temperature and snow most days down there, so we canned that idea.


Here are some pictures of what we did instead.

First, meet Joey. In a moment of stupidity, mom agreed to let the children have ANOTHER dog. Yes, we still have big old Max, he is our outside dog. Joey is now our inside dog. He is a bischon and quite small. He actually is very cute. He has become very attached to Lindsie and freaks out if he can't find her. He even sleeps in her bed! We got him from a friend of mine on the first day of spring break. He came house trained and everything which is a BIG plus. So far we have enjoyed him.


The first day of spring break we just hung around the house (it was raining) and got to know our new friend. On Friday, the weather cleared up so we were able to spend the day at the park with the dogs. We had a lot of fun having a picnic then playing on the playgrounds.


Later that night, we decorated easter cookies. Seems ever since Grandma left for the other side of the world, mom has to be in charge of the cookie making. Mom likes it better when Grandma is in charge of the cookie making, because then she is in charge of the cookie cleaning, too!!

Saturday was raining again so we went to the movies. Dad and Jarod saw "Monsters vs. Aliens" and the rest of us saw "Race to Witch Mountain." Both movies were fun.


Sunday it was nice and we were able to have an Easter egg hunt after church. This is the first time we have hunted in our own yard and not in the rocks of Capital Reef. That was kind of fun. Dad gets so busy hiding eggs, he sometimes forgets where he hides them, but we eventually found them all!!

Monday was also nice weather so we went to Mulligans and went miniature golfing. We also went to the batting cages and the driving range. Jarod is quite a golfer for only six years old! He can hit the ball a lot farther than mom!
The week after spring break was a very rainy week. We have had rain every day. Finally this weekend is very nice. We laid compost in our flower beds, then turned on the sprinklers to test them out. The children were quick to get into swimsuits and run in the sprinklers for the first time this year. They had a great time. Not so sure if the dog loved it so much. Poor Joey!
