March Happenings

First of all, did you notice our blog got a little face lift?  I spent a good couple of weeks working on it after the kids went to bed at night.  I am so computer illiterate so I am glad Carson knows his stuff and was able to help me out haha.  But I am proud that I did a lot of it on my own.  I'm kinda figuring this stuff out haha. There are still a few things to do and little kinks to work out but I think it looks so much more fresh and simple. I kinda like it. And of course I had to add an owl ;)

March started out SO nice enticing us with such nice Spring weather and today, it's snowing.  Boo.  March is usually a pretty low-key month for us but this time we had quite a bit going on.

We celebrated my brother's girlfriend, Ashley's birthday with a family breakfast at Kneaders.  Her birthday was at the end of February.  Happy birthday Ashley!

I couldn't get everyone in one photo so I took a picture of each table (we pretty much took over Kneaders)  Here's a picture of my little family (and Lisa, but we look enough alike she can stand in for me haha)

I went with my mom, sisters, and Ashley vintage flea market shopping!  And we brought along my dad as our mule ;)  He's a great sport.  We had a blast!

We had so much sunshine in March and enjoyed every minute we could outside.  A bunch of ladies from the neighborhood got together at the park with the kids to play and chit-chat.  

James pinching Carson on St. Patty's day because he wasn't wearing green.

We got a new nephew!  Chris and Emily had a beautiful baby boy!  He had to visit the nicu so we could only see him through the glass.  He is so cute!  He is now doing well and is home and we got to go visit him and hold him :) Carson was out of town for work when he was born.

While Carson was out of town we had a sleepover with aunt Lisa.  She brought Frozen for us to watch!

Our friends and neighbors invited us to go camping with them.  I know, camping?  In March?  We went up to Tremonton where there are some natural hot springs.  I had never been to any hot springs so this was really fun.  It felt nice!  It was nice to have a little get-away and get to know our friends better. We had fun!

Nice photo bomb haha

Stockton's first time swimming.  He loved it!...for about 20 minutes, then the wind picked up and it got a little cold.

They have a nice motor home and let us take over the bedroom in the back.  Thanks for the invite Mortimer's!

We visited the temple for FHE one night and watched some singles ward people get in trouble by security because they were having a scavenger hunt and one guy was acting suspicious jumping up on the fence surrounding the temple haha

Toward the end of the month it started getting cold and rainy so it was nice to have play dates with friends indoors.  One day we went to the Dinosaur Museum.  Gotta love our Thanksgiving Point membership!

Time to get back to finishing the yard!  We got our first load of topsoil.  Boys can't resist climbing a dirt mound.

Carson's parents went on a tour of Israel and Egypt, SO cool!  We got together for Sunday dinner and they told us about their trip and brought back some traditional Muslim clothing (and the Jewish kippah) seen here and some other souvenirs for us. What a neat experience that would be!  It's on our bucket list for sure now.   

That was our March in a nutshell.  On to April!
