Spring Time

I think our family is finally over being sick! We're slowly getting back into the swing of things. Claire and I had fun seeing Beauty and the Beast with some girl friends. We enjoyed general conference from home. Skyler went to the Elder's Quorum's annual Burgers and Bullets activity this weekend. I was able to walk to our neighborhood park with all three kids for the first time. Sundays are still a bit crazy with meetings, choir and church being at 12:30 instead of 9. We're also still figuring out new grocery and laundry routines, but it's only been 5 weeks since Julie was born so I'm not too worried about it being a work in progress still! We're looking forward to Easter, Claire's Birthday and our trip to WA coming up!
 Happy Easter! We've been indulging in some chocolate this week, and watched some of these videos for family night:

 I love it when the kids want to do puppet shows for me
 Todd wanted Skyler to help brush his teeth which happens most nights, but this time he wanted him to do it while he was putting a puzzle together! Todd loves puzzles! He impresses me with how long he'll stick with a puzzle until he completes it. I think he can do two 48 puzzles by himself now, and more simple ones too.
 Claire, Julie and I had a girl's night out at the mall getting clothes for BrittanyJo's wedding. We saw the Easter bunny and he waved at us, but Claire didn't want to talk to him or wave back even though she was interested in him. She was super excited about sticking her head in this sign though.

 This is the look of a baby that just had a back massage.
 Claire likes to hold Julie.

 Cooking is more fun when you wear chef hats.

 The kids loved pretending that the cotton candy was a beard or mustache and running to the mirror to laugh at themselves.

 Tulips and pansies on campus!
 We colored in all of the ties to match the speakers at conference for the first time. I wrote the speaker's names and some notes too.









 Hanging out in our favorite spot: the rocking chair.
 Classic baby in the laundry basket picture! I was actually a little worried she'd spit up all over those clean and folded blankets, but she didn't!
 I love this picture! All three of them are laughing and it just shows how much these two kids love their dad.
I caught Julie sucking her thumb!
