Spring Break!!

Last week was spring break for the kids, and since we were the only family in the whole wide world that didn't take a vacation, we decided to have some fun of our own. We did many family activities:

* Monday we went to Jump On It, they have wall to wall trampolines, some on the walls. They also have a few blow up slides. Rachel went to my sisters house because she had been sick all day. Kyle was the only one that was a little apprehensive on the tramps, but he made up for it on the slides. Kelsie and Brinlee wanted to see how high they could get their jumps. Austin and Katelyn were doing flips and playing basketball. We had a great time.







* Tuesday we were supposed to go bowling, but they had leagues come in and we didn't want to fight the crowd. So Jason took Austin and Katelyn to Walmart to pick out a new movie for us to have Family Movie Night. They picked out Alvin and the Chipmunks, we were all singing along. How can you not love the Chipmunks!!

* Wednesday morning we went to the Indoor Pool in Lehi. They have a great kids pool that is huge and not very deep. One area has a great water slide and a climbing toy with water coming out everywhere, and another area has a smaller slide for the little kids. We went with all the cousins and had a great time. Kyle was nervous about going under the water at first, but Aunt Lara got him playing fishy and he was crawling around and blowing bubbles in no time. Kelsie took Austin and Katelyn down on the big, big slide it started in the building went outside and back inside the building. Rachel went on the slide the very most, Brinlee was really nervous and at first refused to go down, we finally talked her into it (OK I bribed her)and then she wouldn't stop. We went to Aunt Angi's house for pizza after and to get warm, the high for that day was 30 something. Good thing the pool was inside.





* Wednesday they started digging our house. I stopped and talked with Devon the excavator and froze my fanny off. It probably didn't help that I had a wet swimming suit on underneath my clothes. So I didn't stay for long, just approved where they had placed the house and left the camera for Jason to take pictures.



* Kelsie & Rachel both got cute new hair cuts and their hair colored. Kelsie cut several inches off and highlights, while Rachel just got a trim and went a little more blonde.



* Wednesday night we went bowling as a family. Grandma and Grandpa Washington, Todd, and the Hall's came with us. Bryan and Lara couldn't come so we picked up Sara to come with us. We had dinner at the bowling alley and had a great time bowling. The twins and Kyle were so cute!! Austin was such a good helper and would carry the ball for Kyle and get it ready for him. Katelyn was a social butterfly but she loved taking her turn. Kelsie actually learned how to hold the ball for the first time (she didn't worry about her nails), and did a great job. Rachel has always been a great bowler and she was a great helper to everyone as well. Jason didn't like the fact that I beat him on the first game, but he did better the second time.






* Thursday we went out to dinner at a new Italian restaurant LaVigna and went to see Nim's Island. The food was great, there was so much of it. We enjoyed the movie quite a bit, I loved Jodi Foster in it. She did a great job playing a neurotic writer who was afraid of everything. My favorite part of the evening was the trip to the ice cream/cookie store after the movie, yummm!

* Friday and Saturday I had to work at the Scrapbook Expo, it was great fun. Although I didn't sit much, especially on Friday. The store sold a ton of kits and I got some much needed (hmmm yeah) shopping done. Kelsie did a great job babysitting on Friday and she was way excited to get paid.



Overall we had a great Spring Break even though it was cold outside. We managed to have a good time even staying home.
