spring break

Spring break this year Courtney, Megan, Hazel, Jace, and I all packed up and headed up to Utah to visit my ex inlaws and my sister Kathy. I was excited because it would give me a chance to spend some much needed time with my girls and do some fun and exciting things that I had never done before. We left on Sat morning early, around 3 in the morning, and arrived in Utah around 5 that evening. We went and ate dinner with all the Davis' at the Golden Corral. The next day was church and another get together with lots of family and friends. Monday we met up with my sister and went to a place called Color me mine. It was a pottery place where the kids each picked out something and painted. It was so much fun!! We spent about 3 hours painting. The kids each picked out a "cereal bowl" and had the time of their lives painting them. I painted one for Myles and Jace.




Don't you just love how Brooke is giving me the "stink eye"?
Tuesday dan and Rakae, Monica and her girls and us all went to Laffy Taffy Town. The kids LOVED it. they each picked 20 pieces of taffy off the wall behind them.

during the rest of the week we also went to the living planet aquarium, and the choclate factory, ate out at auntie annie, went shopping, the cheese factory, and went to Hill aerospace museum, Krispy Kreme, Jamba Juice, and I can't forget Cafe Rio...yum!!

Hazel was so funny. She wanted me to take her picture next to the most handsome manequin...

We left Sunday morning, drove all day. We were all very excited to finally be home. I missed Scott and Myles so much. I kept wishing they were with us. Scott needed to finish up his Masters paper and we decided that taking the car we had to leave one of the kids home. With Myles being 2, Scott felt they needed some "male bonding time" They had a good , relaxing time here at home doing manly things.
It was a good experience and I want to go back next year and do the rest of the things on my list! but for now its back to life I guess
