Spring?!

The weather has been so strange here. The blossoms are everywhere. I am loving these pink trees. They are beautiful. But then the next day, they are covered with snow. My girls wear shorts to school one day, then boots and coats the next. Mother nature, please make up your mind. I would like to pack away my winter clothes and enjoy Spring before I go. We love walking to and from school so we can feed the horses.

This is what we woke up to today, April 30th. That isn't popcorn popping on our apricot tree. That's snow.

Are you kidding me? I absolutely enjoyed the winter here. I loved the snow, it is so beautiful when everything is covered in white. But it is the end of April so it's really bugging me now.

School project

Daisy had a school assignment for a county in Utah. She was lucky enough to get Utah County so we didn't have to travel far to explore it. We spent a couple of days when Jeff was here, driving around, taking pictures, and enjoying the beauty of Utah in the spring. I got to go to her class and watch her give her presentation. I forgot to take a picture of her with her posters at home so hopefully you can see some of her posters she made. She did a good job.

I had to try and get a picture of her teacher. He is the best teacher ever!

Daisy and her two good friends, Grace & Kylie.

The worlds longest hopscotch

I should probably check the Guinness Book and see if she really broke a record. See where the girls are standing? Daisy drew a hopscotch with chalk and it started there and ended where I was, in front of the neighbors house. She measured it and it was 97 feet long. Talk about a workout!

Daisy is telling Lindsay what to do. It had little activities every now and then. It was very entertaining to watch. I'm sure my neighbors were laughing at me when I had to do it. Oh yes, can you just see me doing 10 jumping jacks, spinning in a circle 10 times, kissing a blade of grass, and jumping up and down 5 times? It was lovely I'm sure.

It kept them entertained for a couple of days until the rain came. Again.

Words to live by

I uploaded pictures today and this is what I found.

Words of wisdom by Daisy.

haircuts and bikes

The girls both got short cuts. I think they both look so cute. They must like them to because I catch them in the bathroom checkint themselves out. Lindsay told me she looked adorable. I love the confidence a haircut can give.

Daisy decided she wanted to start riding Jeff's old bmx bike to school so she was gracious enough to let Lindsay ride her blue bike. Lindsay sure was happy too because her bike is too small and on it's last leg. They love riding their bikes to and from school. The weather is absolutely beautiful right now.

Sunday in pictures

I love being able to walk to church. The weekend weather was perfect.

We took an afternoon stroll to Bridal Veil Falls. We warned Cooper AGAIN that if you get in the water, you will get wet and cold. And AGAIN, he didn't listen. Such a boy. We had a great end to our Spring Break and are so happy Jeff got to be home with us. 6 more weeks and we get to be together again!!!!

BYU Men's Volleyball

We've been wanting to take the kids to a BYU sporting event. We found out volleyball was going on so we took the kids Saturday night. It was alot of fun, and BYU won, so that made it even better. Cooper loved Cosmo. He actually came up to Cooper and was hanging out with him for a little bit.

Hiking the Y

Daisy has a project for school and we needed pictures of things in Utah County. She was super excited to go and Jeff had never climbed it so we set out Saturday morning.Cooper and I stayed behind after 3 switchbacks and he played in the dirt. He was in heaven and I was fine to sit and enjoy the weather. They all made it up and back and were still happy.

Miniature Golfing

We picked Jeff up from the airport Friday morning. We were so excited he was home for the weekend. We had a fun filled weekend planned. We took the kids golfing. We went a year ago and they talked about going since.

Cooper was mad because he didn't know how to use the club and threw a tantrum. Luckily we were the only ones there so I didn't care.

I asked Daisy to take a picture of me for proof I was there. Nice shot. Maybe next time I should remind her to get my whole head in.

Jeff got the only hole in one. I totally would have, but Cooper was throwing off my game with his tantrum. Seriously. I've got some mad miniature golfing skills.
