We've had a fun week! Aaron, Evelyn and James had Monday through Wednesday off of school, so we had fun playing together. David went to a little camp put on by a lady in our ward (who is also David's primary teacher) they did lots of fun Easter activities and had a great time! They live close to us, so David and I walked there and back.
Anna also had a cross country meet on Wednesday. She ran well, but was exhausted by the end. She didn't have much time before the youth activity that evening, but what time she did have, she spent sleeping. :) Then we all went to the youth activity which was just driving around and dropping off Easter treats to the primary kids in the ward. We had fun!
Our new little pets are getting settled in and comfortable and getting a bit spoiled for attention and food. But they are cute!
David and James realized this week that they have nearby playgrounds that we can walk to (yes I've told them this and taken them to these before, but for some reason it clicked this week) So on Thursday, Eileen wanted to go on a walk and take pictures of some of her crochet creations and David wanted to go too, so we figured if I went, then when David got tired, I could go back with him and Eileen could keep walking if she wanted too. David didn't get tired. James and his friend wanted to come too, so we all walked down to the nearby park. Then after playing there for a bit, we walked to another park that was a little bit further down the trail. David complained the whole way home - but I think it was more because I was making him go home and he wanted to keep playing than because he didn't want to walk. That changed once we got to the hill up to our house - then he was done. And by the time we got home, I was too. David also had fun on the walk helping Eileen take pictures, which is his new favorite thing to do.
The boys all wanted to go to the park again on Friday, so we did and had a good time, and once again, David did great until it came time to climb the hill. David insisted that he needed sunglasses to deal with the bright sunshine we've had all week - so he got paw patrol sunglasses, of course.
Friday evening, we decorated Easter eggs and the kids had fun
Saturday morning was the beginning of an epic weekend. We started out with the morning session of general conference which was wonderful, after which, we headed down to John and Melissa's for an Easter egg hunt and lunch. The kids all had a fun time hunting eggs and playing with cousins and almost cousins. It was a lot of fun since Melissa's siblings Sara and Jared were there too, with their families, and since Dan and I know them, it's been fun to get to see them more.
We watched the afternoon session of General Conference there before heading home for the priesthood session and bed.
Sunday was lots of amazing General Conference plus lots of yummy food (and the cooking to go with it) We gave the kids their Easter baskets and had 7 layer dip and monkey bread and of course, amazing music and talks! After, we headed to Jon and Sandi's house for a company pot luck. The kids had a blast together and there was lots of yummy food that most of us were too full to eat. :)
Next week is going to be a whole new adventure... wish us luck!
