Basketball in the house

Ben has been bringing basketballs in the house lately and trying to dribble them. He actually knows the difference between the sports and calls it his "beekaball". Here's a little video of him playing in the kitchen.

New Faucet

Our kitchen faucet broke this week, so today we went to Lowe's and picked out a new one. Kristina picked it out and I installed it. It went quick and there were no leaks, so it was a success.

Flying Kites

After a full week, we relaxed a little on Saturday, which included some kite flying at the park. Bradley has a Spiderman kite and Kylie has a My Little Pony kite. They both had fun, and Ben spent his time pointing at the kites and saying "sky".Ben, Kylie, and her Pony kite.Bradley concentrating on his kite.

The Zoo

We had nice weather Friday, so we decided to go to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. It was really crowded, but we still saw everything we wanted. We also stopped at the "This is The Place" monument since it is right across the street from the zoo. After the kids were sufficiently worn out, we ended the night with dinner at Applebee's. It was a fun end to Spring Break.Ben pointing out the black bear.Kristina and the kids on the "Zoofari" train ride. Checking out the elephants.

Dinosaur Museum

The kids have been on Spring Break this week, so we decided to take some day trips. Kristina took the kids to Jumpin Jacks (inflatable play area) in the morning, and in the afternoon, we all went to the Museum of Ancient Life. We saw lots of cool dinosaur bones and they had some fun activities for kids.

Here's Kylie playing in the water and sand.

April Card Group

I am going to try my hand at posting today, since Dan is usually the one to do it. Last night I hosted our card group at my house. There are eight of us that get together once a month and exchange cards based on a certain theme. This month was Mother's Day/Father's Day cards. We each bring 8 of the same card and exchange them. Mostly we just talk and eat dessert! It is really fun for me to have a hobby and get together with my girlfriends.

This is the card that I made this month.

These are all the cards made by members of the group.

Road Trip

Saturday we drove up to Idaho Falls to visit Amy, Trent, and the kids for JT's blessing. We decided to visit a couple temples along the way and also drove through the BYU-Idaho campus. We got some great pictures and had a blast. We had a nice dinner with Amy and Trent on Saturday and then they came over to the hotel to swim with us.

We took a detour through Logan to see the temple, it was really beautiful and the kids liked the fountain.

Sorry the picture has a little glare, but here's Amy's family right after the blessing.

Kristina and JT relaxing at the lunch afterward.

Last stop on the tour, the Rexburg temple is quite a site on top of the hill.
