What we were up to in March:
Katie bug loves the snow!
Declan sometimes comes with me to help in Jonah’s class. He blends right in. (Not really, he’s actually kind of a pain, he wants to get into everything, but we love him).
A boy and his dog.
And after the snow melted it got warm enough for a lemonade stand. Look at all these boys in the neighborhood!
Declan throws a lot of fits these days. It’s a good thing he’s so cute.
For Nick’s spring break we headed down to Zion’s national park for a quick camping getaway. It was still pretty cold at night being that it was March. But we got the kids some nice new sleeping bags and we all stayed warm.
We walked a little ways into the narrows before our feet got too cold. SO then we headed back to the sandy beach to warm up and play in the sand. This was probably the kids’ favorite part of the trip.
It’s a good thing I have such a strong husband to help lug these kiddos around!
We went into St. George on the last day and played for a bit at their natural playground, Pioneer park. The boys were in heaven.
Julie threw me a surprise party for my birthday and really did surprise me. When I walked in the door and everyone said happy birthday I actually looked behind myself to see who they were talking to. And on top of that it was Italian themed, she knows how much I miss Italia! Sometimes my heart just aches to be back there. It was such a great party!
Look at all these lovely people at my party! Emily was visiting from California and Natalie from New York (somehow their cute babies didn’t make it into this photo). My brother Cody even came.
Jonah’s kindergarten teacher has marveled at his fine motor skills many times, she says he will be an artist. Italian school did a lot of fine motor activities so Jonah is far ahead of his American peers in this. Sometimes I get pretty impressed too though, look at what he cut out by himself! I don’t think I could even do it that well. And look at that perfect coloring. This kid. Sometimes its a bad thing because he takes a lot longer to finish things then the other kids, which frustrates him. But he does a way nicer job.
$2 Tuesdays at the Tracy aviary. Jonah was loving this “Chinese pheasant”.
We made a weekend trip to Boise to celebrate my Grandpa Tracy’s 80th birthday. Somehow I did not manage to get a picture of the birthday boy! Seeing my sisters kids is always fun. Nick couldn’t come because he had a project for school, so the kids and I went.
Stopped for a quick hike on our drive back, to stretch our legs, and you know…roll in the dirt a little.
