Spring Break

During Spring Break Kevin took a day off for us to go to the temple one last time before I have the baby. We always have the kids touch the temple. We are grateful they love how they feel when we go.

I made some baked donuts for the temple trip and Andrew loved wearing the cinnamon sugar on his face!

It's not a perfect picture but at least we're all in the picture by the temple. Some were a bit tired.



After the temple we went with some friends to try Five Guys. Yummy!

During Spring Break, we celebrated Kamren's 10th birthday. He chose a football cookie to eat for dessert. He wanted pizza for dinner and the boys swam at the Y and played sports in the gym.

Here is Kamren's friends who celebrated his birthday with him.

Ashleigh wanted to decorate the house all by herself. We are so proud of her. She chose pink and blue so Kamren could use it for his party the next day.

Ashleigh loved being with her friends for her party. We celebrated Ashleigh's 8th birthday during Spring Break also. She chose to go to Chuck E. Cheese to play games, come back to our house and have an Easter egg hunt and eat grilled cheese sandwiches.

She chose to make cupcakes and make them look like little egg nests since Spring is almost here for us.


Kamren has nicknamed our little boy that is coming in a few weeks Connor Bear so for his coming home outfit I put on a little bear patch and I made him a blanket. We are so excited for him to come. I love blue and chocolate!

I wanted to make something for my girls before the baby came. I'm really into the turquoise and lime green color. These skirts were so easy to make and the girls love them.

Ashleigh had her first Spring recital. She played two pieces of music and we are so proud of her!



Ashleigh has been doing hand stands all the time so Andrew's version of a handstand is a sommer sault. He loves to copy his siblings.

Here is our pro at handstands.

During one of the sessions of General Conference, we helped Kamren organize all of his legos into their appropriate color. It was much easier to stay awake and listen to the speakers.

We are babysitting a fish for Spring Break and Andrew loves little Rosey!

The kids enjoyed the tradition of putting up our tent in the basement for General Conference. It's always wonderful to hear from our great leaders. The kids had fun sleeping in the basement several times during Spring Break too.

Kamren really wanted to split the bunk beds up so we did and we love it so much better. Andrew is loving his big boy bed. He adjusted just great.

The girls lamp shade was getting very faded and old looking so I decided to recover it with the fabric I already had and some ribbon and flower. It was fun to freshen it up for their room.

This is the baby dresser we bought for Kamren. I've been wanting to paint it to match the girls room so I did this during Spring Break.

I love it so much better. It matches with everything else in their room.



Kam and Ash loved taking an afternoon to do some crafts with a bin of stuff.

It has been a fun Spring Break with the children. We were able to go to a few museums, waterpark and swim. The weather wasn't the best but we found something to do each day to make it fun since we couldn't travel with me being in the last few weeks of my pregnancy.

My girlfriend took some pictures of me and here they are.

I have a blue ribbon around my belly to show I'm having a boy.

We are so excited for little Connor James to come.
