Getting April caught up

I am getting the month of April caught up----- Yipee!

Our friend, Peyton, turned three years old and mom put on a GREAT birthday party! There was painting of planes & a pinata & the playground. It was fun! (and my kids are just cute and fun to take pictures of!)

A Day Off

Jimmy is getting into dirt biking. We were invited to go out camping and dirt bike riding with some friends over Easter weekend. We thought about going, but couldn't get everything ready to go camping-weather & school. I took the day off we went out to see our friends & hung out for part of the day. Our friends, J & S Gardner, have dirt bikes for their kids (with training wheels on them). The kids loved taking turns riding those. I rode J's bike, and did pretty decent for my first time. I didn't stall the bike or crash! But I couldn't figure out how to change gears......oh well. The wind was horrible, so while the boys went out riding, the mom's & kids hung out in the trailer & played. I love camping trailers and generators!

(ME! I was either coming back or just starting to take off again.)

Miss Sarah-out there in the desert riding around!
Wow little lady-I can my camera on zoom too!

Guitar Hero in the trailer.

Where does she get these blue eyes!

With a baby that rolls around-a trailer is PERFECT for camping!

How to Train Your Dragon & Train Adventure

Jimmy's brother Joe, and his wife, Debbie, were in town from Baltimore. We decided to go see a movie, so we rode the FrontRunner and Trax train into the Gateway to see How to Train Your Dragon. LOVED the movie! Kids did good during movie. Sophie and Charlie and maybe Sarah fell asleep during it. Ashley got startled a few times, popcorn flew, but we liked it.

(Trax train)

FrontRunner train ride home after the movie.

(We rode in one of the older train cars from back east-which was cool inside until...see below)

Its all fun and games until you CAN'T GET OFF THE TRAIN!

The Woods Cross station came & went....and we were still on the train. We tried to get out-pushing the little green button, but the door didn't open. So we continued onto the Farmington station, GOT OFF the train, waited 35+ minutes for a train to go back south. We caught the train, and learned a lesson, and made it home~Finally~
Here we are at the Farmington Station. We did laugh about it & the weather was decent so we survived.

Gatrell Family Easter Egg Hunt

My mom's side of the family gathered for an Easter Egg Hunt. Its fun for my Grandparents to see their many grandkids and great grandkids. This isn't even half of them......There were 4 generations here. The sun was out, and we enjoyed a pot luck after. It's always fun to see family!

(I didn't forget to take a picture of Charlie-He wasn't here. Charlie spent the night with Grandma & Grandpa Burns with cousin Cooper.)

Utah Gymnastics

Ashley, Sarah, and I have gone to all the Utah Gymnastics meets this year. Jimmy, Sophie and Charlie went to a few also. The last one was Senior Night. Here are some pix from the meet.

Soccer Season

Ashley & Sarah have started soccer back up for the spring.

After a pre-season soccer clinic by the Woods Cross High Boys Soccer Team, games started up.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays will be spent at the soccer fields!

My kids + friends at the WX soccer/football field.

Ashley scored a GOAL at her soccer game! WOW! (I got my money's worth out of that soccer clinic!) Its her first goal in a long time! She also got an assist that game (the shot would have gone in the net except one of her team mates tipped it in) GO ASHLEY! We were so happy for her!! She was so excited too! Her team played well, and their coach is awesome!
