More playtime: Feb-April

Exploring a new spot at Park day with friends

Leisel tried out tumbling class again this time with Lindon!

Magic show at the library!  I love that it captures their imagination and then the kids learn tricks to try at home. 

a 3-D show about National Parks at the Thanksgiving Point theater

The old part Jared replaced in our freezer to keep it running, twice, because they sent a faulty part. 
That was a long issue that was GREAT to finally resolve!

Tessa must have snapped this photo of pregnant momma and kids doing laundry and matching socks. 
The everyday stuff.

a photo for Jordan's assignment about the chemical structure of TNT  

March 1st was Tessa's long awaited day to get braces. :)

Leisel sharing her puzzles book. 

This is Jordan's flyer that he created to give to friends for his party on Dolphin Day. 
It was a long awaited, much anticipated event at our house.  

Tessa loved her art class. 
She always finds interested students and becomes the teacher afterward...for gymnastics, ballet, choir, theater, art....  

Listening to an amazing storyteller with friends 

New and Old Field Trips

We went downtown to see the new Meet the Mormon shows before our KSL tour and we played at City creek.

We visited several radio stations and talked to the DJ at FM 100.3.

This was our first time to the Leonardo museum --for the Flight exhibit.

The Butterfly Exhibit at the Aquarium

The new Asia exhibit was awesome!

We fit in a last visit to the Thanksgiving Point museums with Cam and Haley before our membership expired.

We visited the site of the Japanese internment camp in Tooele with Jordan's WWII class.

They were known as the camp of artisans, using the resources they had from Lake Bonneville.  Wish the lighting was better in this display of real artifacts created with seashells.     

The kids got to choose an origami peace crane. 

Lunch at the park with our group

the prisoner of war camp in Salina

We also had visits to Ancestry.com and Ebay too for learning about businesses.

Cousin time and Conference

 Sunday dinner is such a party when Renee hosts!  Next best thing to having a backyard farm is when cousins have one.  I'm so glad my kids enjoy the animals so much!

 taking turns milking and then chasing the chickens

Andrew came for a special sleepover on his birthday!

We had sundays with homemade ice cream :)

We love our ice cream maker!   

We went up to the fun center in Logan for a birthday celebration with the Hildebrants!!

bouncing and visiting

These cousins went to the BYU boy scout powwow together

Ella took cousins to the South Jordan pool for her birthday celebration.

Exploring and Playtime in Grandma's yard between sessions of General Conference 

Everyone took their own corner for viewing conference.

Grandma had a special stuffed lamb for all the grandkids and shared her testimony of Easter. 
"It's not about the bunny, it's about The Lamb."

The kids love the walk up the road to the cemetery and even farther to the viaduct.
