Spring Loaded Weekend!!!

I am doing everything within my power to WILL SPRING to get here. Last week I started taking the kids outside to ride bikes and run around. I hope that this will encourage the sun to come out more and making it possible for my kids to start playing on their swing set (that part of our yard still has snow on it.) I don't know how well this idea is working out, but it makes my kids happy.




The next day we headed to Idaho and Matt took the kids Kite flying (for the first time) in his parents backyard. Sammie was so excited she would just run around trying to catch the kite and eventually decided to just stand still and try to fly it. Eston was enthralled with the kite and just stared at it from the moment he went outside to when it fell. It looks like I might need to get the kids a kite. I am trying to decide who had more fun, Matt or the kids. Either way it was fun to watch.



Later that night we had a 6 year old's birthday party. It was in honor of Matt's brother Jordan who actually turned 24 years old. We decided since he had a real birthday this year that we would make him a super hero costume to mark the occasion. We brought along Eston's costume and the two of them ran around the house after one another. They were pretty proud of themselves. I think Jordan loved his costumer a little too much. It will be interesting to see at what functions he wears it.

I am happy to see Eston NOT in the princess dress. That is some back yard. It looks like it goes to the mountains. IDAHO ROCKS!
