You would of never guessed that we had 4" of snow on the ground about 5 days ago. Soccer games are in full force and despite the cancelled practices, the boys all played great today.

Thank you Easter Bunny!

Happy Easter!

These poor boys! Torchered by a mother who insists that they have a picture taken with the Easter Bunny! I can just see it now in ten years when they are married and I pulled out this picture to show their families! "Oh, look boys, remember this? Weren't you 13 and 11 when we had this taken?"

These past few days have been Spring Break. So, on Friday I drove up to Wellsville Utah (a 20 minute drive) to go to the American West Heritage Center where they have a huge farm open to the public to come see the baby animals and learn about the past. There were teepees, barns with oxen, corrals with baby chicks, bunnies, goats, lambs & calfs. They even had baby turtles. There was a Blacksmith & Mountain Men teaching about their trades. Wagon rides and pony rides. The boys had a great time until I made them sit on the Easter Bunny's lap and have their picture taken. The whole time saying they didn't want too because they were too old. We then went to Aunt Candy's house and had a great time visiting with her and Uncle Loyal. Saturday we hid Easter eggs around the house and today after church I told the boys the Easter Bunny was not coming because they were too old for Easter baskets. After moaping around the house for a few hours, Kevin goes upstairs and starts to scream, "I knew it, I knew it, Thanks mom!" "Oh," I said, acting so coy, "did the Easter Bunny come after all?"

Straight A's

Skyler was very excited to tell us about his report card! This is the first time he has gotten straight A's! We are proud of him. He works hard on his homework and is self motivated, which is great!

Nice hat, dude!

Kevin has really enjoyed being in Mrs. Bingham's class this year. I don't think it's because she is a fabulous teacher, but because she allows the kids to crochet when their work is done. The twins have been crocheting since they were 8, so this was a welcome surprise for Kevin. He loves to show the kids in his class what he is working on. Some of the kids will ask him to help them with their projects. These hats are one of the many things Kevin has crocheted in class this year!

St. George

There's nothing like a good weekend stay in St. George (73 degrees) to really get spring fever in your blood! Mark had a planning conference in St. george last weekend and with gas and hotel paid for, we left Wednesday and made it a family trip. The boys and I had a great time visiting old friends (Brigham Young had some good advice to share) and fun parks. We even stayed in Zion's one night and hiked the Upper Emerald Pools ( a 1 1/2 hour hike). Mark's brother David and his family joined us and we hiked the Riverwalk trail with their 2 little girls. When we got home to Brigham City all the snow we had on the ground the previous week had melted! It made coming home easier. Of course, I always tell Mark, "Home is where the heart is!"

Christmas

O.k. this is going to sound crazy, but I'm just going to throw it out there! I am already looking into gathering Christmas gifts for 2009. But I can't figure out who we have for Christmas on the Bradley side. If anyone reading this, knows who we might have, please let me know. I also want to say we have Julie this year on my side, is that right? I'll figure it out eventually.

I would also like to start a movie reccomendation list that we can follow. Our family is a big movie watching family. We like to see good wholesome movies. If anyone has seen a movie they like or heard of one please add it to our list. Last night we watched the movie Kit Kittridge. It was a very good and powerful family movie, especially for this day & age. Another movie that is coming out this month that Mark and I saw in the theatre was Forever Strong. We can't wait to buy it. Very good message.
