Life size shoots and ladders with the Lymans.  Happy Birthday Grandma Workman! Melissa made the cake.  Recycling package filler paper.  Finn's gymnastics show off night, May 5th.  It was Finn had tons of fun, but decided to grump for photos at the end.  Kathleen Pugh has this great gymnastics studio at her house.  Preschool dino hunt! Hannah's spring recital May 13th. Melissa was sick so she missed the recital, but we recorded all the dances.  Grandma and Grandpa came and Hannah did a great job. Grandma Jack came, too, and took this picture for us.  We got home and Mom was well enough to congratulate our little ballerina.  For the last day of preschool they went to the San Juan theater for a short movie and a slide show of school pictures. May 17th.  Unfortunately Finley had been up vomiting the night before.  We got sick of the heat upstairs and all the expensive quotes for upstairs AC.  The kids are watching me cut out the dr...

Melissa and the kids went out to the Laws' ranch on Mustang Road for a picnic and playtime.  Melissa and the kids put together the sealed tomb to prepare for Easter.  Blanding had a big kids egg hunt. The kids had a blast.  It only lasted a couple of minutes They were able to find a few eggs each and run around having fun for a little while.  Melissa and Grandma took the kids back later that afternoon to explore the activity more.   Photo booths and a petting zoo.  That afternoon we colored eggs.  Easter Sunday the kids had a hunt at home.  It heavily featured Lego filled eggs.  And a special Easter surprise from Nana.  Finn was very proud of his chocolatey construction truck.  And I might have put a couple off eggs just out of reach in the yard.  Oops.  Melissa with her egg baby, and Lilian.  Melissa only received one egg... so it is a good thing she found it!  Building Lego sets through Easter/Conference S...

"What a boring month!?" said Lilian.  Just sitting here lining up glass beads while waiting for the twins to finish preschool. Don't speak too soon!  Uncle Mark came to visit for a few hours, Sunday evening to Monday midday.  He wanted to visit Grandma Flick and knew he couldn't be that close and get away without a day at his mom's house.  The kids all really took to him well.  Melissa seemed to like him too.  He was leaving midday, after arriving Sunday evening.  So we had lunch with him at Grandma's before he left.  We had been debating a trip with Rob and Mallory Lyman's family, but the weather was being unpredictable.  We decided to just book it and spent a night in Moab.  We had fun hiking one of the shorter trails We got caught in rain/hail/snow. Then it dried up quickly and we kept walking.  After a difficult night for our kids, they do not do well sharing a room and being put to bed all at once, we went to the Moab Giants. L...
