Sunday



I love these dresses! Every Sunday it's so fun to pick something out for the girls! We especially love ones that our cousins have handed down, like these ones

Spring Break


For spring break we went camping. We were fortunate enough to have the Milletts tent trailer-which when it worked-it worked great. And when it didn't, it didn't!!!!! Lacey and Evan came with as well and we were so glad-it made out trip way more interesting and fun. Of course my Davy worked so hard the entire time, he did a lot to help us all be comfy.
 
Well, of course the tent trailer has a heater, so naturally we didn't need to pack for a cold night. Wrong! ya, it didn't work the first night. We were FREEZING! Like really really freezing. It was a terrible night with Davy literally up all night trying to fix it. The kids were so cold-thank goodness for the Uruguay blanket. And Holly slept next to me-that's a nightmare! When I got up and walked out of the trailer in the morning I remember getting warmer!
 
So the next day I sent Davy into Payson and told him to do whatever necessary to fix the trailer and get us stuff to be warm in case we didn't. Thank goodness our next night was more enjoyable. The kids were so dirty-but loved it. Will and Allison were so good! Holly was grumpy and out of her element, no surprise. Allison was so proud that she learned how to pee in the woods-it was a highlight for her. The banana boats were a hit, and the food was good. What more can we ask for! Davy and I were WASTED after not sleeping for 2 nights and it took me forever getting the house back in one piece.




The Zoo



Grandma and Grandpa Kolstad got us passed to the zoo and we got to go with Grandma in February. Oh how we had a wonderful time! I think Davy was the first one begging to go home-the rest of us were going strong. The kids LOVED it. It was so nice to be together, getting out, and doing something fun. Thanks Grandma!




Crazy Hair



Seriously-Allie's hair is crazy. It doesn't help that she is still recovering from her brothers hair cut a year ago. She has this spot on the back of her hair that is ratty all day long-even when I comb it. This is one example of how it can look in the morning.


Aunt Moonja

Aunt Moonja (I have no idea how 0poto spell her name!) and Uncle Daryl came to AZ this January. They are very special to us, there were a tremendous blessing to us during nursing school. Aunt Moonja is the cutest, funniest, and most fun Aunt. She has a special love for Davy. They even came over to check out our house. We keep telling them they need to get a winter home here. Aunt Moonja quickly won over the kids and pushed them for a long while on the swings-while Davy and Daryl did shop talk.
