Spring Break was awesome this year! It went by way to fast, I needed more time. The first part of the week we had Allison and her crew here for about five days.
The kids played and played. One day we did a scavenger hunt for family home evening.
The kids had to look up various scriptures that told them where the next clue was.
Each clue had a prize, these are a few.
This is to give you an idea of how big Eli is. He is the same size as Elleree. He is two and she is four.
Aside from losing Beckett, and an assault on Rylie the visit was pretty uneventful.
We did some shopping.
We cut out some patterns.
But mostly we just hung out and spent time together.
No comments on how awesome I look! I think I need to always wear make us.
I love seeing my sister. I am going to miss her a ton when she moves, and I wont get to see her as often!

The last half of the week we drove to Grand Junction to visit some of our bestist friends the Nouna's. They moved there about the same time we moved here.

We went to this place called Banana's. It was an arcade, miniature golf, bumper boats...... The kids got soaked on the bumper boats. This is them trying to dry themselves off.
Elleree liked the bouncy stuff. They had this huge slid that she could go down. She cracked me up.
The older kids got board with the bouncy stuff real quick and soon moved on to miniature golf and other fun stuff.
Elleree is a good little poser.
So her and Jason had a good time with my camera.
This one is my favorite though. She got this fake phone from the arcade. Jamie and Tanya's little girl Morgan would walk around pretending to talk to each other. I love that she has her hand on her hip.
Another day we went to Colorado National Monument. It is only a few minutes from Grand Junction and has some great trails and sights.
We took a short hike, Beckett screamed for most of it. I am going to get him comfortable using this pack that they gave us. Even if it kills me, and everyone else around who has to listen to his screaming.
There is my family with Independence rock in the background.
Here is a picture of the boys and there pal's. We miss these guys so much. It is so nice having such fabulous friends. I realized that I didn't get any pictures of Jamie and Tanya. I will just have to go and visit them again in their new house. They are moving to where Allison is moving from. Small world.

Looks like you had an eventful spring break! You always do such fun things with your kids! You really ARE good parents. That picture of Elleree and Eli together is amazing. Who knew he was such a bruiser?! Makes you wonder how big he is going to get ultimately. Our spring break is not for another week and a half. Late this year.
That treasure hunt looks like a kids dream. Well the prizes anyway!
Is Elleree smallish for her age, or Eli is just that tall?
Looks like a fabulous break. So glad you got more time in with Alli and the cousins.
I am going to need some of those pictures!! Glad your trip to Colorado went well! Of course your time with me was way better, winkwink!)
I've missed a ton of posts! But, I'm just commenting on one. Happy Birthday Elleree! Your dad does look great. So glad you had a fun spring break and got to hang with your sister and Jamie and Tanya! I think that your cross stitch towel looks AWESOME! When do you find time to do these things, wonder woman?
Fun! Fun! And MORE Fun! It will be sad to have Miss Ali so far away. But, you manage to make the most of whatever time you do get to spend together and off course there is always the phone (hand on hip or not) and you'll need to be doing the Skype thing...
Glad you had a nice break. Looks like tons of fun all around.
