April

April was a great month.  We had a great time celebrating Easter, starting spring sports and even had some time off.  

Easter was the first day of the month.  The kids woke up excited to find that the Easter Bunny had left them some eggs and baskets full of goodies.  

Easter weekend was also general conference weekend.  It was great as usual to spend a relaxing Sunday at home listening to conference.  

We all had spring break the first week of April so we spent one of the days finally up on the mountain.  Alex did great snowboarding again.  This time I tried skiing for the first time in many years and loved it.  It was a great day!

Since on Easter we didn't have church we wore our Easter clothes the next week.  They are pretty cute! 

Mia really enjoyed hamming it up for the camera.

We took another drive up to Logan this month to celebrate Kenzie's birthday.  Mia had a great time with all the little girls.

Brandon painted Mia's fingers and toes this month.  She loved it!

At the end of the month Alex and Mia got to sleep over at Nikole and Jordan's house with Mikah, Max and Kenzie.  They had so much fun! When we picked them up to take them to Grandma's they were so tired they immediately fell asleep in the car. 

March

March was another busy, fun month. Here are the highlights. 

Mia got to go to her first (non family member) birthday party.  It was for her cute friend Ari. It took her a few minutes to warm up enough to let me leave but eventually she loosened up and had a ton of fun.  

Since he played Jr. Jazz we got to go with Alex to another Jazz game.  This time we decided to leave Mia with a babysitter since she got pretty bored last time.  It was a lot of fun.

 We took a couple of road trips up to Logan this month for Mikah and Max's birthday parties.

 We had lots of fun at preschool this month.  We celebrated Dr. Seuss Birthday with pretend green eggs and we got to go on a field trip to the Fire Station.

Mindi also took our class pictures this month.  They turned out so cute.

We also celebrated St. Patrick's Day.  Once again Alex made a trap to try and catch the Leprechaun.  He must of missed him but at least he left us a few treats! Brandon also made shamrock shaped, green pancakes that the kids thought were pretty cool.

Alex had a piano recital this month.  We didn't know it was this month until a few weeks before but he still memorized his piece and played it perfectly!  He got to play the theme from Harry Potter this year.  I am so impressed at how well he is doing at the piano. 

Mia and Alex also took another round of swimming lessons this month.  We went after school for a few weeks and they both did great and passed their levels.

My side of the family got to visit the Jordan River Temple Open house.  Alex and Mia went on and on about how fun it was.  I love the temple and it is always great to be there with my whole family!

The week before Easter we, as a primary presidency got to put on an Easter egg hunt for our ward and neighborhood.  We filled and hid over 1200 eggs.  It was threatening to rain all week so even though it was cold I was just so glad it didn't rain.  It was fun but I'm glad it is over for another year! 

We shot the candy cannon again.  It is always fun to see the mad dash for candy.

Later that day we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hettinger's house for another egg hunt and to decorate Easter eggs.  It was lots of fun as always! 

One of Brandon's masterpieces.

The next Saturday we got to have one final Easter egg hunt at the Clements' house.  

What a fun month!
