Spring Break Fun

The boys enjoyed their Spring Break from school last week.  Actually... we all enjoyed their break!  We kicked off the beginning weekend with a trip to Eastern Idaho to visit grandparents and family.  Randall's mom had given all the adult girls tickets to Time Out For Women- a conference for women with motivational speakers and performers, put on by Deseret Book.  Randall and the other dads took care of the kids, and we attended the conference Friday night and Saturday morning.  The conference was wonderful- I came away feeling very enlightened and inspired.  It was fun to hang out with Randall's mom and sisters and have some girl time.

Saturday evening we celebrated a few birthdays, and Sunday morning Randall, his Dad, his brother Kade, and brother-in-law Brian sang a beautiful musical number in church- "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy."

Sunday evening Randall and Brian headed home so they could work.  Cali and I stayed a few extra days.  Monday we went to see my family for the day.  We went to get lunch with my mom, visited with my Grandma Wilcox (she's nearly 92 years old and still looks great!), then we picked up Shalani from school.  Dallin brought Suri out for dinner and the kids enjoyed playing with her.  Wyakin came in from working for a bit, much to Lainee's delight.  Lainee has a unique bond with her uncle Wyakin--- it's really cute.  Before we left my dad was sure to give and receive lots of bear hugs!  We love visits with Grandma and Grandpa.  We visited with my good friend Emily before coming home Tuesday.  We really had a fun trip.

Friday we took the kids to Wahooz in Meridian for a family fun day.  We went bowling, the boys rode Go-Karts, and Lainee and Ashlin played a few arcade games.  We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse- a family favorite before heading home.

Carson wasn't quite tall enough to go on the go-karts by himself, so Randall took him on the big track.  They had a blast and finished in 1st place!
See that #12 on top of the leader board?!!!



Saturday the kids hit the locoal Easter Egg hunt, then our good friends Paul and Joni came for a visit with their 3 adorable kids.  After they left I put the kids to work in the yard picking up all the branches that were scattered all over the lawn from the spring wind.

I'd say we had a fun and busy week!
