April Fools Joke

Teralyn thought of the best April Fools joke! She called her grandparents and told them that we went to the doctor the other day and found out that we were having a boy and not a girl. Wow! What a reaction! Bri and I listened to the conversation on speaker phone while Tera told them. We didn't realize what a reaction they would give! She totally got them. After about five minutes of screams, we finally convinced Tera to tell them it was April Fools. When there was finally a break Tera blurted out, "It's April Fools Day today!". There was a silence, and then laughing... I don't think they will ever forget that one.

Conference was this weekend and we had some great BBQ's! It was also wonderful to hear the prophet speak again and the Apostles. We love having Dish Network where we can actually see them again!!

Monday my kids had a great day in the sun. Ashtyn was so cute with her little helmet on her bike. I had to get a picture.



Tuesday Bri stayed home and we all went to the zoo bright and early. We actually made it there in time to get parking! Pretty unusual for us. Anyway, it was a sunny, but not too hot day and we had a great time. At least Bri and I did. It was one of our most enjoyable zoo days we have had. We really beat the rush and the weather was great. As far as walking that far, all I can say is I'm so glad Brian was with me! Those hills would have killed me.



We came home that evening, gave Ashty a nap, (oh, and I got one too (: ) and then we went to Lonestar Steakhouse for kids eat free Tuesday! I got steak, which I don't usually do (I have never learned to appreciate steak like I should). I was just glad to be out to eat and not having to make it or do dishes. It's been a while since we have been out as a family because all my girls get meals now! It can really add up... The girls were all in great moods too! Those moments are rare and far between!! Thank goodness for spring break!

Love the April fools joke too! Teralyn is so creative!

Aren't you glad you went to the zoo on Tuesday! Today was so cold again. I am ready for warm weather. (Minus the humidity!)

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!
