Easter

Easter fell on conference weekend this year, so it was fun to wake up and enjoy Easter without having to get ready to go anywhere. The kids had a fun egg hunt then we relaxed the rest of the day. The Ocampo family left in the afternoon so we made sure to say our goodbyes before they left. Brooklyn came down with a fever, but with some tylenol quickly bounced back so we could enjoy Easter dinner at the Ericson's house. 

The Ocampo Family

We were able to host the Ocampo family while they were visiting here from Mexico. It was fun to get to know them, eat with them, and play games with them. They spent most of their time downtown at conference, but the time they spent with us was fun.

The girls sure love their uncle Aaron!

The Basket

We have had this basket ever since Brooklyn was a baby. And every kid has had their turn to be pushed around in it by their older siblings. Well now Brielle is of that age and loves to be pushed by all the older kids. 

Randoms...

Yes...this is now a daily occurrence. Brielle loves to hang out on the counter and get to anything she can. Good thing she's cute!

 Britney is growing so fast! Not quite a month old!

Classic Skating

I ventured out and took the kids to Classic Skating right before they had to go back on track. We went with our neighbors and it was a lot of fun.

St. George - Day 2 & 3

We didn't have to be to the competition until the afternoon so we relaxed all morning. I got Brooklyn's hair and makeup all done then we stopped at Subway for lunch before heading over to Dixie High School. Brooklyn's two dances were 3 hrs apart, so we just hung out and watched the other dances as well as chilled in the warm up room. Brooklyn spent the whole day running around with her friends. She did great in her 2 dances! They placed 2nd with both of them. I can't believe she's big enough to do this!!! After the awards were over we grabbed Arby's on the way home, ate, and went to bed!

Brooklyn loved all the attention this weekend. The drive home was great. We stopped in Cedar City for lunch at IHOP then made it all the way home. Brooklyn struggled when my mom left from dropping us off. She loved all her snuggle time with grandma all weekend. She went to bed crying for the next 3 nights bc she wanted grandma. She is now mailing grandma notes and has declared that they are pen pals! Thanks mom for coming and helping me out!

St. George - Day 1

Yay!!! Brooklyn's dance competition finally came! For months I've been nervous about taking a 2 week old to St. George for the competition, but after these past 2 weeks with 5 kids I couldn't get out the door fast enough. I lined up all the babysitters and my mom, Brooklyn, Britney, and I took off! The drive down was great. Britney slept for most of it. We stopped in Spanish Fork to pick up some dance tights, then again in Fillmore for lunch. We made it to St. George in the late afternoon and just relaxed in the awesome condo we rented. We didn't want to take the baby out much, so we spent most of the evening in the condo. We did head to walmart to grab food for breakfast, Barnes and Noble for a charger for Brooklyn's Nook, and then we grabbed Taco Time to eat for dinner back at the condo. The girls went to bed and my mom and I just relaxed and enjoyed the time with no children around :)
