Easter 2011

This year we had lots of Easter fun.  First we went to a spring party/egg hunt at the park for my Moms Club.  The kids made bunny ears hats, ate treats and hunted for eggs.

Our second party was with the SCV Mother or Twins Club. We had a fun egg hunt and lots more candy!

The Saturday before Easter we attended our ward Easter breakfast party.  The kids got to egg hunt, we got yummy breakfast, and Joseph got second place in the egg toss.

That night, I said to the kids, “The Easter bunny is coming tomorrow!”  Bridget's response was “Again?”.  So I guess we had a few egg hunts this year, but it was sure fun.  I decided to make Easter morning very low key, so there was a cute basket waiting for them in the morning.

Spring Break 2011

For Spring Break we went with lots of friends the Carpentaria to go camping.  It is one of our favorite places to go.   It was a colder few days but we had a few afternoons when we ran out and enjoyed so sunshine, and ocean.  Joseph had recently got a new surf board and a wet suit and was anxious to try them out.  There were no waves, but I got a few cute pics and some amazing moments of him and Ethan together.  We have been going here for many years and its really fun to see it through the different ages and stages.

Pasadena 5K

In March I completed my fourth 5k.  I completed in the 5k for the Pasadena Triathlon.  My sister Kimberly wanted to participate in a triathlon and I decided to go and do the 5k part and then cheer for her after.  It was a fun morning.  I competed in the even last year and tripped and fell at the beginning so I was happy to finish without any problems this time.  My mom also ran the 5k with me and she got a medal for finishing third in her age group, so cool.  Kimberly did the tri and was amazing!  It was a fun time!

Princess time

On a recent trip to Disneyland we were on our way out the side of the castle on out way to Frontier Land and we turn and see Belle sitting down with a little girl and no one else around.  First I checked to make sure this wasn’t something special, but when the little girl was done Belle asked if we wanted to come over.  Well this made Bridget's day!  Belle is her favorite.  They got some time all alone to spend with Belle, and she was so nice and engaging with the kids.  They were in heaven, and it was the best part of the day.

California Science Center

A few weeks ago we were looking for something to do on a Saturday when I was searching on the internet can came across the California Science Center.  I looked fun so we drove down to check it out.  Wow!  I can’t believe I have never been there before!  So fun.  It was huge and the everything was hands on for the kids, and it was free. Yay.

Looking out into the gardens:

The polar room had an ice wall:

This aquarium was a tunnel you could walkthrough and then a whole wall of glass where you can sit and look at everything:

I special toddler area had colorings, toys, and different rooms to explore different themes:

Ethan loved the space area:
