April 2015

This has been a month of beautiful weather and getting things done. Super baby "nesting" is in full force. The boys had spring break and we spent most of the time hanging out at home, playing video games, toys, riding bikes, kickball, etc. They did help me plant some flowers on the back deck...they each picked out a flower for it and we did go to an indoor water part at a local rec center but otherwise it was really low key and nice. I spent a lot of time working on painting our dining table/chairs, up until my carpel tunnel became too painful to do it and finished up a bunch of baby projects: recovered a swing, made knit blankets, a nursing cover, bows and headbands (with colin and ben's help) and organized her closet. We had a fun Easter weekend where we got to see Tyler and MaryKate, Jessica and her boyfriend Ryler, and then Braden and his girlfriend Heidi. We didn't see them a whole lot since they went off and kids sightseeing but it was a lot of fun. Easter and General Conference were the same weekend and it was kind of tricky to balance the two. The boys got a little candy and a Mariners shirt from the easter bunny and I got super super swollen that previous week and weekend and felt kind of terrible! We got to spend a few hours with our Chicago friends, the Ocampos, when they were in town visiting family in Auburn and Renton. The boys' had their Science Fair where Colin and Brannon's projects were displayed and Evrett's habitat was up too. We also got to go to Evrett's school Spring Music and Movement concert which was super cute! Cody was invited to his first birthday party and LOVED the party favor bag he was given. He napped with it and carried it around the whole next day.
