Kindergarten Program

Kindergarten programs are so entertaining. It's seriously like crack for moms. Not necessarily for the amazing script or choreography, but because the kids are all so fun to watch and seeing your little munchkin up there swinging his hips and singing his songs is about as good as it gets. Watching all the other kids is equally entertaining. You can pretty quickly identify the kids that don't pay attention by the fact that they are the last to stand up when it's time or are staring and twirling around when they should be paying attention. The little free spirits that decide to throw all previous instructions from the teacher out the window and do their own routine. It's just so funny!

Carson's program was this last week. He did a great job and it was so fun to watch him. The theme was "To Kindergarten and Beyond". This is going to be some great material for when he gets a little older. It's days like these that make staying at home with my boys worth every tantrum, load of laundry and burnt dinner. There are more videos available upon request to those grandparents who might actually want to watch more than 45 seconds at a time :-)

This is what I like to call the "Number Macarena"

Spring Break and Easter

This week and weekend has been so unexpectedly nice. First, we headed to southern Utah near St. George for a few days of camping and hiking/shopping. I will be the first to admit that I was NOT looking forward to this trip. First, I'm not a huge fan of southern Utah.... it's just dirt and red rocks, hot weather and wind. Second, our vacation destination was called Sand Hollow State Park. If the name alone wasn't enough to make me cringe, the weather was supposed to be rain and LOTS of wind - gusting up to 30mph while we were in a tent in the sand. HOWEVER, it turned out to be actually quite nice. Imagine my surprise! We did arrive a little later than I wanted to but we were able to get our tent up before dark. The wind blew pretty hard the first night, but after that it was so pleasant and perfect weather. And while it was sandy, it was definitely beautiful too. Carson and Davis LOVED climbing on all the rocks and exploring the campgrounds. They were quite fascinated with the cactus. I explained to them several times about how much it would hurt if they got any cactus spines in them, but despite my warnings, we still had to pick some out of Carson's hands. There was hiking and game playing and I thoroughly enjoyed the shopping in St. George!



Sunday was Easter. We were back home and unpacked, ready for a relaxing day. Our friends' daughter Linsey came over to get away from the dorm life and stayed the night Saturday. Carson and Davis were up bright and early to see what the Easter bunny had delivered and to hunt down all the eggs that were hidden. Linsey was also surprised to find the Easter bunny had brought HER a basket and hidden some special eggs just for her. We had family over for lunch, listened to conference, watched a movie or two and were just lazy most of the day. It was pretty nice!
