February, March, and a little April...

Wow! Time has really been flying by without me documenting anything! My birthday was at the end of January and Jameson did a great job of making it special as usual. He surprised me with a new kitchen table with chairs that match our bar stools! Here I am posing with my cake..Jaxon and Brooklyn completed 2 weeks worth of swimming lessons. Brooklyn pretty much ended up getting a private lesson since her class started with 3 girls counting her and ended with just her. They both really liked it and they both passed! Jaxon loved the goggles..For school Jaxon got to dress up as one of his favorite characters from a book. He loves all of the "Froggy" books, so this is what we came up with...I decided to surprise the kids with Disney on Ice tickets-the Disney Princess one that Brooklyn and I went to last year was so great that I wanted Jaxon to be able to see it. This one was Disney Pixar's Cars along with Tinkerbell and some others. Dad stayed home with Gabe and I took Jaxon and Brooklyn. We had fun and afterwards went for ice cream. Here we are getting ready to go...And here they are watching...The hats came "free" with the cotton candy...Since Santa gave us snowboarding lessons, we've been going up to Park City a lot and it has been fun! I fell really hard on my BEHIND/LEG after only going a few times and I think that it ruined me. I was getting good too!! I now am MUCH MORE CAUTIOUS and Jameson is better than me...dANG!! Just kidding..I'm sure he would be anyway but that fall definitely held me back. It has been a great activity for us to do together but mostly great for Jameson and Jaxon to do together. Every year around this time we start searching KSL classifieds for good deals on trailers. We have thought about upgrading from our little tent trailer since when we bought it we had 1 kid and now we have 3. We found a trailer on KSL that had been listed for a while and didn't seem to have any "bites" so we called and went and looked at it and LOVED it. We told them that we'd think about it and called them back that night and they said they'd already sold it!! I was devastated!! We had looked at other trailers but I just wanted this trailer to be "THE ONE" and was sad that we'd let it slip away. About 10 minutes after Jameson got off the phone with the owner they called us back to tell us that they were going to honor our offer before the other one since his wife had spoke to us first and told us she'd hold it for us until the end of the day. YAY!! We were sad to say goodbye to our little tent trailer and all of the fun memories but we're glad that we'll still see it because Jameson's brother Pace and his wife Jan bought it. We're excited for them to have a trailer and already have some camping trips in the works. Goodbye little trailer you've been so fun... Hello new trailer!!!
Yes, this is my FAVORITE feature!! Mid-March we hosted the main meal of a progressive dinner at our house with our friends. It was fun!! Jameson's Birthday was April 2nd and the kids were very excited to give him his presents. He went snowboarding that morning with Jaxon because that was what he said would be the most fun to do on his birthday. Can you tell these kids love their dad? The kids were very excited for Easter (as so was I-my favorite holiday!) . We made treats... And decorated eggs.
Happy Easter!
The kids had fun Easter morning playing with their Zhu-zhu pets and other little treats they got from the Easter Bunny. After conference we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Frew's house for dinner. The kids got to have 2 Easter egg hunts: one with Grandma and Grandpa and one with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. We all had a fun time!!

Cute pictures Jenn. What a fun mom to take your kids to Disney on Ice. I love your new trailer. It makes camping so much more do-able. You'll have to go to Yellowstone with us this summer. We aren't too far from it.
