Recent Adventures

We've had some fun times lately. Here's a whole bunch of catch-up:

Natalie got to go miniature golfing with her preschool class:

Natalie and her good friend Zoe:

(those pictures are from my friend Janelle)

She has also made friends with a little girl her age who lives 3 houses down from us. She went to her birthday party and got her face painted:

I had a birthday! It was a great day full of Conference, family time, and yummy food. Here are Lily and I (the early April birthdays, minus Katie) with the awesome cake my dad made:

Elizabeth painted me this picture:

Isn't it amazing? I loved it.

Natalie started soccer! She loves it. It helps that she has a really great coach and that she is with 3 of her friends from school/church.

They played their first game in the freezing rain:

She toughed it out and even scored a goal!

Here she is with her friend Addison:

We went to a fun park recently, too. Nate loved driving the old fire truck:

We managed to find a way down to the creek there, too. (Still not sure if that was allowed?) The kids had a blast, though.

Over spring break we let the kids have a little slumber party.
Reading before bed:

Nate made it until about 3am when we woke up crying since he didn't know where he was. Not bad, though!

Another cute one of the kiddies after a bath:

They honored a deceased pet (a roly-poly):

Climbed some trees:

Hunted for Easter eggs:

...And, during spring break, the kids and I hit the beach again. We tried a new one (thanks Steph!) and we were so glad we did. It was a fun one.
