Hanging out at McDonalds

McKinley with her Sundae

This was our last resort trip. We had planned to go to the aqarium with the kids, but when we got there our plans quickly changed. we had not realized that it was Jordan Districts spring break. So, to say the least it was twenty minutes at least to get into the aqarium. Plus some ladies on the way out said it was about twenty mins at each exhibit. We were not in the mood to wait so we decided to go to McDonalds instead. The kids loved it though--They had a great time playing in the jungle gym and eating their ice cream sundaes.

We are so excited because this is our first year doing a garden. We are crossing our fingers hoping that something will actually grow. We have been getting great advice from friends and neighbors. We are probably most excited for all of are berry bushes. (Strawberry, rasberry, and blackberry) Yummy!

This was our first month of couples book club. We read The Carousel by Richard Paul Evans. We all met at our house, had a BBQ, discussed the book, and then played the game Scene It. It was such a fun night. How can you beat family, friends, good food, and great memories!

Elder Aubrey and I

So the Friday before General Conference was my mission reunion. It was pretty fun...except that I was seriously one of the oldest missionaries there. My mission president and his wife had little gifts for different categories (like oldest child, youngest child, drove the furthest, home the longest etc..).I had the oldest child at the reunion....So the gift was a coloring book and crayons. This was a perfect gift for McKinley because it entertained her for about 1 hour. It was great to see some old friends.

Where's McKinley

For ST. Patrick's day we decided to make Oliver an all green lunch. This included green homemade bread, green rice krispies, green Jello, green milk, and green grapes. I wanted McKinley to help so I had her decoarte the lunch sack that we could send with Oliver to lunch.

Sleeptime

Last week McKinley was not feeling well. After I put her down for a nap-This is how I found her sleeping. I love to see all of the different positions they sleep in.
