Spring Break '08

The kids had all of last week off of school due to spring break. We decided not to take a big vacation during the break this year because we have quite a few coming up this summer. One thing we love to do as a family is to stay in Park City for a few days and hang out. We went up last week from Wednesday to Saturday and had a blast together. We had originally booked a one bedroom condo to stay in. It's a really long story, but we had some troubles with the first place so they ended up moving us to a different condo that was brand new and had three bedrooms. It was really really nice. We had a really good time with the kids. It was so nice to just be able to relax and not have to worry about getting up and being ready for school, running the kids to all their various sports, piano, appointments, etc. We had movie night with the kids every night and just enjoyed a few stress free days. Here are some fun pictures I took from our little mini vacation!

The kids love to play on the playground while I get in a little shopping time!!


The condo they moved us to didn't have a pool open, so the kids had just as much fun in the hot tub!



Cassidy just HAD to call her friend while we were away because she hadn't talked to her in THREE WHOLE DAYS!! What will I do when she is actually a teenager??


I thought this one of all three boys looking out the window was really sweet.

Ethan loves his baths. We didn't have any bath toys for him so the kitchen utensils had to do!

Didn't realize he would use it as a cup too!

I guess he was really thirsty!! I though this picture was hilarious!

Little too much water!

Jazz Fever

Kaden and Spencer turned 6 last November, and for part of their gifts we bought them tickets to a jazz game. They loved the jazz before that and loved watching the games on t.v., but ever since they went to the game they are even more obsessed than ever. They know each player and their number, and Kaden even remembers the scores to all the games he has attended. Luckily for them Andy has a friend who has season tickets and occasionally when he doesn't need them all he gives Andy the opportunity to buy the extras. Of course we can't resist buying them because they love going so much--even Cassidy is now hooked and chose a jazz game over a night of shopping with Mom!! This past Friday Andy's friend had just enough extra tickets for Andy and the kids. As always, they had a blast! As an added bonus, President Monson was at the same game. He had much better seats, row 3, but he definitely deserves it!

The kids at the game in their Jazz shirts. Definitely can't go to a game without your Jazz shirt on.

Not the greatest pictures since Andy was sitting much further away. President Monson is right in the middle of the picture sitting with his wife.

President Monson even stayed after the game to talk to people and take pictures with them.

Finally he gets to leave and go home. I am sure he can't wait to get out of that suit!!
