March Misc.

Some more pictures from March...

We got a treadmill - Mike has been using it a lot!

Trying on our new London shirts to make sure they fit

Sam drew these cute pictures of Yoda and Chewbacca

Evie started making a book where she draws pictures of all the Star Wars characters. She has made a lot of progress on it, and her pictures are so cute

Sam saw this soup at the grocery store and was excited to try it

Sam playing a computer game with his buddies

Dorie and Max spending a little time together - they did pretty well!

For our Cub Scout pack meeting this month, we had the boys make paper airplanes, and then they did several activities with them

I was looking through the papers in Sam's backpack one day and found this...<3 a="" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wNNG69ngY6KBYFyfzX2RKmVNUbqLoIVpjoKHBLP7SaecUo7Kup39sg75kAPUHipVhjuBHPBtBEl4-YbgMzjGVK10Kz1zWdLqXCliwOxJdHpgXpavZjv5j-MvIihqqZtmAYI81w/s1600/IMG_1241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

Kate still hasn't seen all the Star Wars prequels, so we had a little movie night and watched episode 2, Attack of the Clones

Sam agreed to take a nap if I let him take it in my bed. Max just can't resist cuddling up to a sleeping human!

Another day, another nap, another cuddle

Dad, Kate and I were able to go to a Utah Symphony concert, featuring Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. The pianist, George Li, was incredible.

Waiting for the concert to start

 A lady came and sat a couple seats down from us and had a gray poodle with her. Afterwards we talked to her a little bit, and found out she was training the poodle to be a service dog and had to get him used to situations with a lot of people. He did a great job and was very good during the concert.

Nora and I were busy filling the Easter eggs with candy, and Dorie snuck behind that chair and stole a peep. This was her reaction when we told her "NO!" Oh man, Dorie. She knows how to do the best puppy dog eyes and make you feel so guilty.

Easter

We had an early Easter in March this year.

Getting the baskets ready the night before after the kids went to bed...

The kids were very excited about doing the egg hunt for their baskets. They wanted to do it the way my family did it growing up, where they are given a clue, which leads them to an egg with the next clue...with the last clue leading to the baskets

The baskets were on the treadmill

Playing with their light-up bubble light sabers

I took a few photos of the kids after they had gotten dressed in their new Easter outfits before we went to church

The girls "helping" Dorie to look at the camera (they were gentle!)

The girls had been saving up their money, and had finally earned enough to make these cute bunnies at Build a Bear a few days earlier

We went to Easter dinner at my parents' house

After dinner, the kids and Grammy worked on making some no-sew costumes for acting out scripture stories. We were also planning on doing an egg hunt, but we forgot to bring the eggs, so that was put off until the next week!

The kids acted out the "Triumphal Entry". Kate was a very good sport and was the donkey.
