While up North for Spring Break we went to the Monte L. Bean Museum at BYU. They had a reptile show that had lots of animals for the kids to see and touch including a huge tortoise and a snake. Addison was pretty upset that she couldn't hold the snake all by herself. That girl is fearless! My favorite display was the butterflies. They had a ton of little butterflies that made up one big butterfly display. It was really pretty. We followed up the museum with ice cream from the BYU creamery. It was delish!
More spring break fun was had at Thanksgiving Point. The kids got to feed the animals, ride a pony, and enjoy a wagon ride too.
One of our highlights from spring break was flying kites. My kids would do this everyday if I had the energy to take them. Luckily we only ended up with one kite in a tree. Dodge had fun getting our double stringer all sorts of twisted. Good thing I got mad untangling skills :)
Dodge started soccer a while back and he has really been enjoying it. He prefers to be the goalie, since there isn't much running required. The poor kid never had a chance with Ryan and I for parents, we both hate to run! With a few pointers from his "Uncle" Galen, he has really been kicking the ball a lot better. There is still just one problem. . . he doesn't turn the ball toward his goal before smashing it. For example, at his last game, he kicked one with all his might towards the sideline. . . and nailed Grama Johnson right in the arm! I have a lot of pictures from his games, however most of them consist of him climbing the net, watching the other games, or dancing. Oh well, at least he is having fun!
This was his first game, he was so excited to play!
Best . Face . Ever!
Have you missed this face?
Or this face?
Don't worry, I have plenty more pictures to upload and blog about. With a little luck, a few nap times, and some persevering... I will eventually post them! For now, know that Dodge is keeping busy with school, soccer, and piano. Addison is rocking the potty training scene, keeping me busy with toddler shenanigans, and getting more stubborn by the day while still being completely adorable. Ryan is blowing the other softball teams out of the water in both leagues he is playing in. And I am wondering how to get everything done on my ever-growing to do list while also staying on top of the laundry and cleaning, amongst everything else in the "mom" job requirements. Apparently I need to add "learn about run on sentences" to the to do list. Don't judge me... let's just blame it on sleep deprivation... yeah, that will do :)
