Spring Break

For spring break we went skiing for the first time as a family.  We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Porter’s house in Provo and skied at Brighton.  It took us a while to get everyone ready to go the first day and I am sure we were a sight to see.  The second day only took us about 30 seconds to get everyone ready to go.  The kids picked up on it really well.  Devin broke one of his poles on a ski lift his second time on the lift so it forced him to learn maneuver without them, which he is really good at now.  It was an awesome family trip and we all came back in one piece, thank goodness!

On the way home we went to Four Corners Museum.  It was extremely windy but none of us had ever been there.

Olivia was living at her parents’ house so we got to spend some time with her while we were there.  We mostly took food home to eat but we went out for sushi one night.  Devin took a few pics of the dragon roll to show the kids.

We also spent and evening at Brindi’s new house, about 35 min from Provo.  The kids had a great time entertaining their girls!

Early Easter

It is close to Easter and a lot of grandkids were visiting so my Mom put together a treasure hunt and an Easter egg hunt for them.  They enjoyed running around to find their treasures.



We also had a fun cook out as well.

Skiing

We decided to go on a family ski trip to Utah for Spring Break.  None of us are experienced skiers so I am sure we were quite a sight trying to get everyone ready to ski.  It seemed to take forever!  The second day it took us all of 30 seconds or less for everyone to be ready for the hills.  We all had some tales to tell after this trip, both funny and scary!  Kaddie amazes me at how much control she has over her skis!  All the kids did really well, including Kage.  We all had a great time and were able to stay at Devin's parents' house in Orem, UT, which was nice.

I took Devin to a sushi restaurant for his birthday dinner.  Olivia, who we found out was living at her parent's house, came with us.  Devin took a picture of this roll since it looked like a dragon.

We were went to see Brindi and Ariel's new house and spend the evening with them.  It was fun to see our older children letting Brindi's girls boss them around and everyone having fun.  It was a busy week but ended up being really fun!  

Snapchat

The kids and Devin were giggling and having a great time playing with the settings on Snapchat.  Devin’s brothers and friends convinced Devin that he needed to get Snapchat so they could communicate easier during their annual trip to Vegas.  I don’t know about that but they sure were having a good time tonight.

Broken toe

During the last game of the season, a heavy kid on the oppposing basketball team landed on Kardon’s toe and broke it.  He is trying to stay off of it as much as possible so it can heal.

The kids had a great time playing basketball this year and had a great year!  It was fun to watch them compete!

Basketball

We participated in the Show Low basketball league again this year.  Heber didn’t have enough girls for a team Kaddie’s age so she decided to play with Kindsey’s age group.   I am glad she did, both girls contributed to the team and wern’t afraid to be aggressive.

Kierra and Kardon had a great year too and really enjoyed playing.
