Pictures

I posted a bunch today so be sure to scroll down and read everything.

This past weekend was our spring break. We celebrated by going to Washington D.C. Nathan has a cousin there and we had so much fun staying with them. On Friday we made it in to the Air and Space Museum. We had braved the subway with our kids and after going through one museum, we decided to just head home. We stopped by the D.C. Temple so that the kids could 'touch the Temple'. Nathan and I were able to go back later for the 8:30 session. This was great except for the fact that we had stayed up talking until 2 the night before :)

Saturday the weather was supposed to be nice so that we could get pictures outside. It rained all day. We were able to get some pictures inside and at a Mall. We had a few turn out.

For Easter we had fun going to church and spending time as a family. I didn't get any pictures taken before church and the kids changed too fast after church. Maybe next year!

Dawn's Birthday

I turned 29 on the 6. Nathan surprised me with breakfast in bed and told me he had taken the day off. He had arranged it a month ago, but had kept it a secret. He had made waffles and had E deliver the waffle and J deliver the roses Nathan had gotten me. We sent E and J off to school, then we went shopping and out to eat for lunch. We rented Bedtime Stories to watch with the kids after school. Nathan made me a very yummy dinner, then we had a very lemony birthday cake. It was a wonderful birthday, and Nathan really spoiled me!

Indianapolis

At the end of March we made a trip to Indianapolis to visit my sister Carrie and family. My parents and sister Hannah were also there visiting. We had a ton of fun. We went to the Indianapolis speed way and got to see the race car museum. We went hiking around Indian Mounds state park. We also went swimming which was a fun treat. The kids had a great time seeing Grandma and Grandpa and playing with their cousins. Nathan and I had a double date with Carrie and Jordan (we let Hannah tag along) and saw the movie Bedtime Stories. My Dad took the kids fishing a couple times, but they didn't catch anything. They also got to help plant a garden! It was a fun vacation.

Nathan and the kids on the Bus for our tour of the Indy 500 race track.

This yellow car was one of J's favorite. My sister and E in front of it.

J was in Heaven.

It is made for one person, but our three kids fit!

Hiking at Indian Mounds. They kids had a blast playing in this canoe.

H had so much fun riding in the backpack.

April Fools Day

On April Fool's day our kids woke up very excited. They had planned the day before how they were going to trick us. E and J in unison said, "Mom there is a chicken in the yard and it is laying an egg!" Amid all the laughter I heard J whisper in E's ear, "When do we say April Fools Day". It was really cute.

So my trick for the kids was I made meatloaf cupcakes with potato frosting for dinner. I think Nathan and I were the only ones that ate them. H really liked the potatoes though:)
