Awesome Spring Break!!

Spring break started at kangaroo zoo with Melissa's kids. 

We then made a fun trek out to Denver to see Devins family

This was a very fun park

We went out to eat at white fence farm. It was pretty fun!!

Amy got to pet a horse! She loves them. 

We got to see her play soccer with a great coach...her dad;)

Denver Art Museum!!

Dave and Devin were able to relax for a second ha ha. 

Best spring break ever!!

St. Pattys Day

My cute little leprechaun:)

We had a fun mystery dinner. Braden came up with the menu and I put the food items with. Then they chose the order not knowing what food they would get. I did this for valentines day and they loved it so much, they now want it for every holiday;)

They all made traps:

The mischevious leprechauns found and destroyed the traps, but they left behind some of their gold...

Maybe we will catch one next year?

Drops of awesome

My sweet mother in law gave me a copy of this post, and I have really related and been uplifted by the motherhood thoughts in here.  So I thought I would share:)

We now share a drop of awesome around the dinner table...alternating with " best and worst" things about our day.

April 2013

April was the end of Braden's Karate class and he earned his yellow belt.  I was proud of the brave boy he was to spar with other boys in his class.  Tina and Sydnee also sang at the mall.  On a side note, I turned 33 this year!

March 2013

March was full of fun with 2 holidays - St. Patricks Day.  We made a few "Leprecaun traps"

 Braden got Baptized on the 23rd which was Great Grandpa Daines' birthday.

 It was a special day full of the spirit.  We feel so lucky to be so close to family to support him on this special day.

 The Chambers annual Easter egg hunt.

 Our Easter Egg hunt

 The easter bunny helped Santa bring Tina's christmas wish - he told her he would after the snow melted:)

February 2013

Braden Turned 8!!  We celebrated at the jump zone - a building full of trampolines, any child's dream:)

January 2013 - our lucky year

My baby sister Joanna got her mission call to Tulsa, OK!  She left for the MTC on Jan 2nd, and we got to tag along.

 The final goodbye.  We miss her, but are very proud of the missionary she is!

 We also had to go sledding at the nearby park before school started again.
