My favorite Spring Break Run

For Spring Break we enjoyed staying in Newport Beach, California. I had not been able to get a work out in for a few days & I was getting a little grumpy.  I got out on Friday for a run. I needed to. I heard it was snowing at home! I had to soak up the sun & enjoy the view of the beach.
I went down the hill from the condos we were staying at & took these pix on my run.
I loved exploring. I loved the beach. I loved it. I came back 4 miles later & much happier!

100,000

Spring break 2012 was a road trip to California. We drove down & on the drive home our surburban hit the 100,000 mile mark in Barstow, Ca. Our green machine is a 2003. We bought it in 2006 with 36,000 miles before Charlie-kid #3. We love the leather seats, captain chairs, Dvd player & the room it gives us. Yes-a blog post talking about my vehicle!

Papa's Date

On a road trip, we stopped for dinner. Sophie ended up sitting with Grandpa Burns. She enjoyed his french fries. It was just cute to have those two together at the table.

Face Painting @ preschool

Charlie got a really cool face painting one time in preschool. He loved it. Looks awesome huh?  That boy is excited for kindergarten in the fall! ahh!

Yes. My kids were excited when we got to go inside Del Taco for taco tuesday. We don't go there THAT often but for 99¢ we can get 3 tacos. Ash eats like 6!

Guns 'N Hoses Hockey

Jimmy's brother plays in the annual Guns 'N Hoses charity hockey game. He is a police officer so we cheer for the Guns! Its a fun family & friend annual event full of hockey. First the charity hockey game, then the Utah Grizzlies game that evening. Here are pix from one of our family favorite winter events. Friends
Its so cool to see the BURNS last name on a jersey! I hope I will be able to see my kids' name on a jersey in the future.

Aren't these two pix cute! Son & dad! aww!

Almost too much hockey for Sophie!

Face painting is on Sarah's face, and a fun little cop car to ride in. Fun night!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day from Charlie! We made valentines for him to take to his preschool class "You Make my Heart GLOW" (with a glow stick). For his preschool teacher, I wrapped up Rolo's in red paper to make it look like a pack of dynamite. The words on it read "You Da Bomb". (goes great with his Angry Birds shirt! LOL)

LOVE IT!

The girls took store bought ones to school. I let them address their own valentines this year. By the end of the evening, we had valentines addressed to EVERYONE-cousins, family members, aunts & uncles, grandparents, friends, primary teachers, the bishop, etc. It was a little crazy. We didn't get them ALL handed out, but the ones we handed out were appreciative.

Valentines Day was busy with helping in one class party, and making cookies for another class party, with extra kids coming over part of the day. WHEW! Loved the candy and sweets the kids got, but holidays are so tiring!
