Spring Break. Really.

You have no idea what Spring Break was like for us. Really.
First off, isn't it supposed to be warm? Especially when you head South? Instead, we drove through Snow from Tremonton to Santaquin, and woke up to 4 inches of snow. Really.
Second, what idiot mother forgets to check the weather down there and only packs short sleeves and no heavy clothes? Me. Really.
At least we got to celebrate birthdays with everyone. 5 of them within 4 weeks, 4 of them within 2. Really.
Julia (my mother-in-law) made cakes for 4 of the birthday people, and really went all out for them. They were all from scratch, and included a real strawberry cake and a candy bar cake. Absolute heaven. Really.

We ate cake(s) after almost burning down Beaner and Jenny new house. Really.

Note to everyone: do not light roughly 150 candles and THEN sing the Happy Birthday song. Really.

After getting to Delta, we decided to hurry and do some Easter things before the snow came. We dyed eggs, and while the children finished that up, I lobbed eggs out onto the lawn for the Hunt. I throw like a girl. Really.

We also tried to look at bigger SUV's while down in Utah, because we have discovered that ours is too small with a 4th child, a dog and luggage. Really.

No one had anything that was bigger; we should have come in two weeks ago. Really.

We also watched Conference and ate lots of candy and other bad things for us. There is a slide show underneath this post for all the other pics that didn't make it here. Really.

If you threw like anything else i would worry a little. Just make sure cliff plays catch with the kids. You forgot to mention the flat air mattress you slept on. We sure enjoyed having you guys stay with us. You will be ever so happy to know that a found this big boutique in provo kiddie corner from the seven eleven over where you used to live. It had so much amazing stuff. So many cute bags. Hope you can make to the reunion in June.

You always make me laugh! I'm sorry things didn't go as planned for your family. It still looked like lots of fun!
