Well I have had a good month in April with my vacations. My last trip was that I got to go up to Woman's Conference with my 2 sister-in-laws and we had a great time. It is so nice to get a break. Darin is so good that he takes Thursday and Friday off so he can stay home with the kids and I think they enjoy it. While I was up in Utah my niece had her baby shower so it was fun to go to that.

Easter Sunday

The kids had fun finding the easter eggs. I think they ate all the candy before we even left for church! They looked so cute in their Sunday outfits. Trevor was not very happy as you can tell.

Spring Break

The kids and I went up to Utah with my sister- in-law and her son. We had a great time! We went to the zoo with the kids, aunts, and cousins. We went to Ikea which I had never been to before and it was a cool store. They have babysitting for 1 hour, so the kids got to play in there, but Natalie was too little, so we had to keep her with us. After that, we got to go see Devin play soccer but it was cold so we did not stay very long. I think the kids had fun watching him. Kylie thinks she wants to play. So we will see. Then on Thursday, we went to the Legacy Center and went swimming and it was blast. Nicole and Krista went with me and the kids. They have a big green slide the kids like so go on, but it was not open 'till the end so they only got to go 2 times. Then that night we had a girls night out and we went to dinner. Patty and Sherri went shopping while Krista, Nicole and I went to Krista's shop and she cut my hair. I love it. It is short and I don't have to do much to get it ready. Friday, Steve had the day off so we got to hang out with him. It was nice to see him and he went with us the the museums. The kids loved going and they were interesting. We were lucky that the weather was not too bad. On our way home we stopped in Hurricane and met with Julie and MaKae and had lunch with them. We had a great easter we stayed home and I made dinner. Later that night Darin's friend and girlfriend came over and we played Monopoly with them. Then Monday it was back to school for Trevor and off vacation for me.

TV

Well, we finally got our TV fixed and Darin and I watched our first movie on it last week. It was great! So we have watched a few more it is like we are at the theater. Darin and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary last week. Time goes by so fast and it does not seem that long ago we were engaged. Other than that, not much is going on in our lives. The kids and I are probably going to Provo for spring break.

Camping

FUN weekend

The kids and I have had 2 fun weekends. The first weekend we went camping with my Mom, sister, and grandma. We went up to Red Cliffs in Leeds and it was nice. Julie and Mckae showed up and hung out with us for the night. Then Julie had to go take her test for her beautician license. She passed so now she is all official. On Saturday we went to Mckae's family ranch and surprised Julie with a dutch oven lunch. The kids had a fun time they got to ride on a four wheeler and pet the cows.

The 2nd weekend was lots of fun we went to Disneyland. We left Friday night and stayed at Darin's brothers lake house. Then we went to the outlet mall in Barstow. Then we went to the beach the water was cold but the kids had fun walking by it Kylie fell in and got all wet which she did not like. We are going to have to go back when the water is warmer so the kids can have fun in the water. Then we went to the Science Museum and it was cool. However, I think ours is better and has more for the kids. Then we finally made it to Disneyland and Natalie was just tall enough to go on Matterhorn. She was funny to watch because she has no emotions. She would not cry or laugh but when you ask her if she liked it she would say yah. Kylie LOVED all the rides and I think she liked Splash Mountain, and Tower of Terror the most. Trevor would say he doesn't like the rides, but the next day he would say lets go on this ride. The 2nd day we were there, Natalie was sick so I stayed with her in the room and Darin took Kylie and Trevor over to the California side. They had a lot of fun over there. Natalie started to feel better by afternoon so her and I took our LONG walk to Disneyland. Trevor wanted to be a Jedi from Star Wars and the first time we were there he was not picked he was so disappointed, so we told him we would go back and try again. So the 2nd time we went back they picked him I have never seen that boy so HAPPY! He was smiling from ear to ear. The first night we were there at about 12:30- 1:00 am i hear this knock on the door and it scared the heck out of me so I call the front desk but they didn't answer. So I woke Darin up and told him someone is knocking on the door so he went and looked out the peep hole and there was someone in our car. So then they knock on the door again and Darin answers the door it was the front desk saying we had left the door open. I was scared because we left the GPS in it and so I made him go out and see if it was still there and it was. I was very happy. So I guess we were in a good area being that no one stole anything. Well I think this is a record for me for the longest post.

Kylie wanted to go camping on Friday night because Darin was supposed to have a camp out with the scouts, but ended up not going. So when he got home, he setup the tent for the kids in the living room and they slept in it that night. They thought that was so cool. They got out there blow up bed and blanket like they were camping. We got our TV back and set it up and it looks pretty good in there on the new stand. Now we just need to get rid of the old stand. My friend is hopefully going to take our old TV.

Valentine's Day

We had a good Valentine's Day. We went out the night before so there wouldn't be as many people or as long of a wait. We went to this new place and it was good. On Saturday, Darin did a lot of little odd and ends that was nice to get them done. On Monday, we went to Valley of Fire to hook up with Darin's friend but never found them, so we went to Logandale and visited with his Uncle Harris. It was a lot of fun and the kids played at the school and got to ride the four wheelers.

I was doing laundry one day and as I was switching the load, Natalie thought she needed to get in the dryer and she looked so cute that I had to take a picture.
