Traditions and Traveling

Wow!  March has come and gone!  Where we are, it went in like a lamb, and pretty much out like a lamb (albeit a few degrees colder of a lamb).  Spring is in full bloom here.  It is beautiful!  Here are some things that we have done over the last couple of weeks (a speedy version).

We went on a cherry walk.  

 It was rainy and cold, but it is a tradition, so we're doing it!  Our kids weren't very excited by the end of it.  Can you tell?

Green food on the 17th.  Yumm!

We had our annual Tax Sale Daddy Daughter Date in Cedar.  This year Monica joined us, which is a huge bonus!  One time, when we were in high school, we got in a fight in this very vault, and I overpowered her with my strength, agility and genius, and won.  There were no computers in the vault back then, though...

Monica and James

 Amazing acrobatic abilities by the boys (lots of alliteration there).

 Let's see how many kids we can get on this slide at the same time! Except that middle one isn't a kid, it's Monica.

Cousins

The next week was our Spring Break, so we headed to Denver for a long overdue trip to Grandma and Grandpa's.

Ryan lost his tooth just as we were leaving.

Grandma Wiberg has lots of good dress ups.

 Maren playing with her little cousin. I'm pretty sure that is a weapon he is holding over her.

 This was at a cool Nature Preserve.  The kids built little cities and then watched as they got destroyed by a flood.  They could have spent hours here.

 Me, Dustin's aunt Shaunie, Gramma Lana and Danielle.

This trip, for the first time, the kids spent a lot of time in the creek behind Dustin's dad's house.  They are at such a great age for exploring outside.  It was fun to see.

We spent a day cleaning around Dustin's mom's yard so that she can get her house ready to put up for sale this summer.

And there it is, maybe not as speedy as I thought it would be.  A lot of family and traveling was packed in to the last couple of weeks.  Tomorrow school starts back up, and then we are on the count down to summer!!
