Instagram Pics Mar-April

Here are some pictures from the last couple of months.  I wish I was better about capturing moments with something other than my phone, but for now this is what works!

Handsome boys had a fun field trip to the fire station on St. Patrick's Day.


Later that week we had a second field trip to Smith's grocery store.  The store manager was awesome!  They gave the kids a grocery list (meat, bread, cookie, milk, fruit) and they got to go shopping and then they let them keep all the items!  The kids loved it.  


We explored the Gale Museum that day too.  Owen especially loved the school area where he pretended to be the teacher and read a book to his class.


For FHE, we visited the Oquirrh Mountain temple and then walked around Oquirrh Lake and fed the ducks.  The boys absolutely love the temple.  Anytime we are driving in the car it is a race to see who will find it first!


Owen started his first sport!  He did indoor soccer through the Rec Center and had a good time.  His favorite part was getting to kick off the ball after a goal was scored because it was basically a free kick.  Otherwise, he enjoyed running back and forth (sometimes falling and/or sliding), holding hands with his friend Kaden, and of course the snack afterwards!


Porter loves nothing more than to do just what Owen is doing.  Owen left his bike and helmet unattended for a few minutes, and Porter immediately took advantage of the opportunity!


Owen's first selfie.  He loves taking pictures and I usually find 10-15 new pictures each day on my phone.


Brad got some Jazz tickets from his work so we took advantage of having my mom in town and had a fun Monday night date.  As expected, the Jazz lost (it was a pretty terrible season), but I get 1/2 lb of free fudge with our ticket stubs so all is well!

The Urry's came to visit again for Spring Break.  We always love their visits.  We were able to go to the zoo one of the days with Taryn, Luke, and Owen. 


Another day we went down to BYU to visit the Sacred Gifts exhibit, prep for the next Semester, and get some yummy creamery ice cream.  We couldn't pass up this photo-op!



At the end of April, we took a last minute trip to St. George to attend the funeral of Brad's cousin.  Although we wish it were for better circumstances, we did enjoy the opportunity to have a little family time, to visit with extended family, and to hike & swim in the beautiful weather.  We even were able to hop down to Las Vegas on Sunday to support my Uncle Kenny as he was released from serving as bishop of his LDS congregation.   My Dad and brothers had driven up from San Diego for it also.  We had a great time visiting with my aunt, uncle, and cousins that I hadn't seen since my wedding 7+ years ago.

Homemade Donuts

Sunday night we decided to make some donuts.  We cheated and just used Grands biscuit dough, which I highly recommend!  Owen loved cutting the circles out of the middle.  We fried them and then rolled them in cinnamon & sugar.  Definitely not an everyday treat, but it was sure yummy!  Porter was already in bed, so we will have to do them again with him.
