Misc.

Here's some random pictures from the last 2 months. Nothing eventful, just fun snipits from our life.

While throwing a birthday party for the Young Women's President at my home, we played a rousing game of Hide and Go Seek in the dark. No one could find Rylie. Turns out Rylie found the BEST hiding place in my house: It is also the grossest place in my house. I have not dusted up there since we move in 7.5 years ago. I have not laughed that hard in so long. Luckily for Rylie, I has some super cute clothes she could borrow. Unluckily for the Young Women's President who is claustrophobic and was hiding in my front closet, in all the hub bub we forgot we hadn't found her yet, either.

Running club ended for the year. Ellie was a pod leader.The kids were ecstatic for Running Club to end since I *make* them participate in it every year. I am trying to turn them into little running buddies, but it's not really working. If I show up to run with them, I usually take turns dragging one of them around the course.

This car parked next to Couger (who is Cougar? Why it's the name of our navy blue car of course) at Costco:I caught them writing a little note on the back window, so we had to return the favor.

Then there was Spring Break full of a trip for us and lots of fun for the kids. When it was finally time for the kids to go back to school we headed out to celebrate! Complete with a bouncer and cotton candy. We finally had to let the air out of the bouncer so it could be picked up by the rental company and Luke was so distraught. For a week he kept begging Karen to let him go to her bouncey house.

General Conference has evolved into some really fun traditions in our family. Saturday night during Priesthood, all of my girlfriends get together at the park for pizza and lots of kids running around. I think we counted 47 as the grand total this year.Stripes vs. SolidsThen we switch kids with the McGuire sister for a fun sleepover. This year I got Nate and Hayden. After the Sunday morning session we get together to switch kids back and have brunch, which has evolved into an all day affair. Sometimes we craft, other times we just sit around and talk. This year, Sunday was on April Fool's Day so we put together a very delicious dinner.The drink is jell-o, the cupcakes are meatloaf and mashed potato frosting, the meatloaf is actually rice krispie treats, and bread and butter is pound cake with frosting on top. Nothing special for the broccoli. The big kids are soo smart, but cute little Zac kept dipping his rice krispie treat in the ketchup and Luke kept trying to drink the jell-o while shouting, "It not working!"
