Spring Break

Day 5
Robert takes fridays off so he was able to join us in some spring break fun. We took the kids miniature golfing at Boomers. it always amazes me how fast they go through 18 holes but they always stay 20 minutes on the hole that has the castle.
After golfing Robert took the little boys home for a nap and I took the big kids to go see How to Tame a Dragon or whatever the title is. They seemed to like it, I thought it was ok. Sometimes a cartoon is a cartoon. We had a fun day.

Day6

This is the second year we have gotten together with my Aunt Tina and her family at Burris Park in kingsburg. We had great food, games, easter egg hunt, and the park has a museum that I thought was interesting the kids not so much. We had a huge egg hunt I think we had over 200 eggs maybe more. Each kid had plenty of eggs and candy.

Day 7

Easter sunday was a lot of fun and it turned out to be a relaxing day. The kids woke up to their "baskets" i used buckets instead since I thought they would enjoy those more. We stayed home most of the day enjoying the spiritual message on tv. That night we had a great dinner, enchiladas. I know doesn't sound very eastery but it sounded good to me.

Spring Break Day 3&4

DAY 3

Yesterday I took the kids to the mall. It was a little rainy and wet so the outdoor fun was limited. Fresno doesn't have to many places that is fun indoors but we had a fun day anyway. The kids got a new pair of flip flops, played on the indoor park and got brownies from Mrs. Fields. It was a short trip but it was a lot of fun.

DAY 4

Today the kids, my parents and myself took the train from fresno to hanford. When we arrived in hanford we walked a few blocks to Superior Dairy for a giant sundae which was so good. The kids had never been on a train before so it was a new adventure for most of us. The train ride was only 30 minutes which is a perfect time for small children, as soon as they got restless it was time to get off. They had a lot of fun. I had fun to see my little babies smile and seeing the first time through their eyes.

SPRING BREAK WEEK OF FUN... DAY 2

So day 2 of spring break wasn't as busy but just as fun. The kids and I had a movie day. We went to target and purchased Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeakual, Curious George 2 and lots of good snacks. We got lunch at Mahs teriyaki, which is so good and you get so much food for the money. After lunch at home we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks and at some popcorn, chocolate and licorice which is my favorite. We laughed and had a good time.

SPRING BREAK WEEK OF FUN

DAY 1 OF SPRING BREAK

I have a goal to do something fun everyday this week since the kids are off for spring break. Day 1 was a success. We started out by going to the Fresno Zoo with a great group of friends and of course my mom who is always a lot of fun. Saw crazy animals and a few crazy kids. It was a little bit more crowded than we were used to but it was a lot of fun.

After the zoo we met my dad at Costco since I needed diapers and we had lunch there also. Then we made over to Target and got Hi Ho CherryO the board game and played a few times, well we played until Cade started to grab all of the fruit off the board, that was a sign to clean up.

Then when it got a little dark we had a fire in the backyard and made smores. It was a great, fun day and can't wait for the rest of the week.

Video of our Easter Egg Hunt Practice

Easter Egg Hunt... Practice!!!

Like any major event there needs to be practice, so my mom brought over some easter eggs and of course candy and the kids practiced hunting for easter eggs. They were so excited to do the hunt and eat candy. They keep talking about it and I think they feel really confident for the big day. Practice makes perfect. Plus the weather has been in the 70's so we needed a fun actvity to do outside, this was perfect.

Ryder Cohen

The 4th baby needs some spotlight...

Ryder is growing rapidly. He is almost 10 months, still can't believe how fast time has flown by. I look at him a little differently since every time he passes through a stage in life or a milestone I know that this will be my last time seeing a baby do something for the first time. He is crawling everywhere and trying to pull himself up on things but still can't do it yet but almost. He is a big boy just like his brother Cade and just as sweet. He loves to give kisses and he wants to be where ever the other kids are. We love our little Ryder!!!
