Farm Animals

We went to Thanksgiving Point with the girls preschool class to see all the farm animals. We saw cows, sheep, goats, chickens, peacocks, ducks, turkeys, horses, rabbits,and pigs. The highlight of the field trip was of coarse the pony rides. Lizzy had been talking about the pony rides for a long time and wanted to ride the biggest pony. Ali also rode the biggest pony. We had sack lunches there too. That was a fun field trip!

Warm Day

It was a nice spring day out the other day so I decided to get the sprinkler out and let the kids have some fun. I also planted my first garden. I planted corn, carrots, and green beans. The sprouts have already begun to pop out of the ground. Hopefully we will get something good out of it. It takes a couple months before the vegetables will be ready to harvest.

Mom's Graduation

On Friday, May 1st, my mom Kathy Bennett graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Social Work. She has had this goal for a long time and we are proud of her for achieving it. She did really well in school and graduated with honors for her academic work and leadership. She now plans on getting a job within the field and going on to get her master's degree. Congratulations Mom, we are so proud of you!
P.S. Yes we are expecting baby #4 in Nov. (That is why I am so huge!)

Uncle Scot and Megan's visit

A couple weekends ago Shae's brother, Scot, and his girlfriend, Megan, came to visit for the weekend. The girls were really excited to see Uncle Scot since we don't get to see him very often now that he lives in Boise. The kids had fun playing with Scot and Megan. They were spoiled with all the attention they got. We hung out, played games, and went out to dinner. We are glad Scot found Megan. We love her! But we are planning on seeing them hopefully in June and going to Lagoon together.

A couple weeks ago one of my best friends, Kata, from high school was in town visiting her parents. So we decided to get together with another one of our best friends Jessi, who lives in Logan. We decided to meet half way in Layton at the Olive Garden. It was so fun to catch up after years of not seeing each other. Kata just had a beautiful baby girl and Jessi is about to have a baby girl in about a month. We ate and talked for hours. It was nice to see them. We also thought of two other best friends who were missing; Emily and Laura. But it was great to see and visit with them without our kids. Hopefully we can do that again soon!

Crazy spring weather

So on Monday it was a nice spring day outside. I think it was in the 60's, so we went to the park and the kids enjoyed playing in the backyard in the dirt with their new buckets and shovels they got from Grandpa and Grandma Fetters. Yesterday, Wednesday, it was more like the middle of winter. We got snow all day and most of the night last night. I think we got about 5 inches at our house. It is good to get all this moisture for the upcoming summer months, but I am ready for spring and the kids are too. We want to play outside everyday and ride bikes! But this is how it is living in Utah and we still love it here! Shae is supposed to go climbing in the canyon on Saturday. Hopefully the weather will hold up. I think later today we will go out and play in the snow and make a snowman.

Easter

This year the kids got to go to 3 different Easter egg hunts. The first one was at Debbie's parent's house. The second one we had at our house and the third one was at my Mom's house. We also colored eggs there and had a yummy dinner. The kids also got spoiled thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Fetters. They sent a huge package with new clothes, buckets and shovels, and candy. Shae set up their Easter baskets really early on Easter so when they woke up and came down the stairs they were pleasantly surprised. The girls also had an Easter program at preschool. It was cute to watch them sing their songs. Afterward their teacher came up to me and said she can't believe how well Ali is doing. She said Ali has really good fine motor skills for her age and she really enjoys writing her letters.
