April Misc.

April has been a very busy month! Here are a few pictures of some of the things we did:

 Cozy kitties




This month's installment of cats on the beanbag chair



Mike and I went to see the new Pixar movie "Hoppers"

Over spring break we went on a campus tour of the U of U with Ev. It is a really nice campus!




We visited the George Thomas building, that used to be the home of the Natural History Museum. Now it has been completely renovated and is the Crocker Science Center


The "Life of Tree" sculpture

Office naps


The long arm

We went to see Phantom of the Opera at the Eccles Theater. It was a busy time in the semester for Nora, but she drove down to the theater and met us there, and then drove right back to Logan after the show. It was a fantastic production

The chandelier at intermission

Cats on my computer


Sometimes when we come back from going on a walk, Oliver is waiting by the door for us


Nora was the secretary of the Pre-Vet Club this year, and got to help plan and put on activities. Their last activity of the school year was a field trip to Hogle Zoo, including a special tour of their Animal Health Center!








Nora took Pepper and Eggroll to meet the harbor seals

Max playing some Animal Crossing with me

For Sunday dinner on Easter, Kate made this really cute bunny shaped rolls


The Easter table


Looks like Dorie is having a nice dream

Juno in her cozy lil bed

She spends a lot of time in her favorite place - the window. If she hears someone come in the room she will peek out to see who it is.

We went to the dinner and play of "Hunchback of Notre Dame" at Hale Theater




The photo op area was very cool


The stage set before the show


Max got two special ultrasounds this month - one of his heart, and one of his abdomen (which is why he has a shaved tummy and chest). His heart looked ok, but there is something going on with him abdominally that we are trying to figure out. He went on a two week trial of a new medication, so we will see how that goes.

Nora making some cute little bud vase arrangements to add to Grammy's dining table


Ev got to participate in a really neat concert in conjunction with the Utah Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra



The cats love Geraldine

Dorie is still adjusting to Max hanging out with us all the time





When Mike put the bunny topper on the Easter tree, he put it on a branch with a light on it. The kids said it looked like E.T., lol

A very agile squirrel that has thus far defeated all of my Dad's attempts to keep it out of the bird feeder



Our book for book club this month was Dune

Our special guest of the evening was Muad'Dib, the desert mouse

Nora finished up her finals, and moved back home for the summer. One of the first things she wanted to do was paint some minis

Oliver being his weird little self
