Spring Break-- Boondocks

                   Beck got to play in the little kid area for a while!  Then he was mostly in his stroller!
                                    Cherry and Valeree had a great time on the go carts!
 We decided to have a staycation this year for spring break and it was amazing how many things there were right around us that we had never done!  Boondocks is right down the road from us we could even walk and we have never been!  We went with our neighbor Cherry and her kids Hreinson and Vayleree!  Hren was nice to take Audrey with him on the go carts!There are smaller go carts and Cambria is having a blast on those!



 It wasn't a super warm day in April but they got each other wet anyway on the bumper boats!  Our neighbor Addie also came with us!


                                                  Cambria and Audrey are dueling it out!
                                       Audrey loved driving the smaller go carts by herself!!

 We didn't do any arcade games except for the free Tuesday ones! (and that was enough!)
We took a long break  and came back in the evening when Tim was home to stay with Beck and we stayed till 10:00pm!!  We did the batting cages and my girls surprised me on how good they were at hitting a flying ball!! Way to go girls!!

Prepping for a fence

 This side of our yard doesn't have a fence and it hasn't been too big of an issue until we have had Beck.  Also it would be nice to have some privacy in our yard!  We are also adding a gate to the side of our house!  Tim went to move the sprinklers because the fence would need to go right where it is at and this is what he ran into a 3 foot deep sprinkler line! Crazy!  It took him 5 1/2 hours to get it all dug!





He is totally amazing!  Good thing he works out and was totally physically able to bust this out!!

Beck and his new bike!

 So I had seen these Awesome balance bikes and new I had to get Beck one!  After we got it from Amazon and got him on it we realized his legs are just a little too short!  But I know in just a few months he will be raring to go! It does help to have awesome sister to give him a ride until then though!




These three boys crack me up!  It could be a 2" screen and they would be transfixed to it!  April 5

Cambria- Volleyball


 It was Cambria's first time trying out Volleyball and really the only other thing she has tried was dance when she was about 4 and 5.  She did GREAT at volleyball and had such a fun time!  We will sign up again for sure!




 Her coach was Nina Mortenson who is my visiting teacher and a great volleyball player herself!  She told me about it and we jumped on it!  She took Cambria and a few other girls from the ward to practices and we had 8 games on Saturdays!
 She was a natural!  I also bought her a volley lite so we can practice at home!  Way to go Cambria!! April 1- May 31

Rocking Love Seat

 I got this greenish, goldish crushed velvet love seat from my Uncle Brent's mother Nona a long time ago!  It was our main furniture when we first got married and has traveled from Idaho to Texas to Utah.  I finally found some cute fabric and got started on recovering!
                                                                  First cute pillows!
 Taking apart is always kind of fun and daunting!  The back surprised me how the buttons worked.
After 4 attempts on the buttons here is the end result!  I love it!  My mom helped out in donating some money for new cushions and yes they are so much more comfy!  The button story is I recovered the 21 buttons in small with the same fabric as the love seat but they all popped off and open, very frustrating!  The fabric was too thick so I bought bigger buttons and did less but same thing so then I bought more pillow fabric and did white part of the fabric and it looked stupid so I redid the 21 buttons a 4th time in the red part of the pillow fabric and it turned out nicely!  Glad that project is done!! I started Jan 7 and finished March 26.  My projects don't usually last that long!

Beck at the Draper Park


 Only just a few months earlier around October he had super cry face on these same toys at the park!  He is coming a long way in being a brave and happy boy!!!


Audrey

      Audrey and I made her three Hello Kitty puzzles together!  It was fun! Feb 27
 We were in a hurry to get to school and Audrey still needed to button up her shirt so I told her to do it in the car on our way.  Cambria looked back as we were almost at the school and this is what  had happened!!  I was dying laughing which made her cry!  But come on buttoning up your shirt over the seat belt is FUNNY!!  So I dropped off Cambria and then went and parked and helped her unbutton and rebutton her shirt for school! March 25
 I love when my kids are so cute and nice to each other!  I have to document it!
