Godfrey Reunion

Our annual trip to Bear Lake with the Godfrey's was so much fun!!

We headed down to the beach right after we checked in, so it was late afternoon and the water was cold!!

Jack and Gabe already throwing rocks

Some of the gang hanging out in the water

Lyla didn't care if it was cold, she was loving it!!

Grandpa and Ava getting their toes wet

The next day we had lots of fun at the beach, even though their was just rocks, not sand

I loved that Lyla wanted to wear my hat all day, it shaded her whole body!

Megan and Justin brought their paddle boards, and we had lots of fun on them, although we were a little sore afterwards!

Lyla passed out at the beach, all wrapped up in towels.

Matt and Benson hanging out at the beach

Jack was prepared for all sorts of fun!!

Benson turned one while on vacation and we all celebrated with some yummy cupcakes!!

Amy and Christian waiting for some fun to start!

Matt took most of us on a hike through Minnetonka Cave. I made it up and down about 880 of the 888 stairs before I slipped and almost fell, thanks to my sis who saved me, she had held onto me the whole way, just waiting for the pregnant clutz to slip :) At the very bottom of the cave they turn out the lights to show you how dark it could be in there. I whispered "I am freaking out" and heard Jack's reply "we are all freaking out mom." Fun times!!

Jack had been looking forward to the Pinata since Grandma showed it to him a couple days before we left. He asked her every day, "Are we doing the Pinata today?"

Instead of boating in the frigid temps at Bear Lake we headed down for one last bit of fun at Newton Lake by Logan.

Later that month when the rain finally stopped my Mom and I took the kids to the "duck pond"

Miniature Golf with the Martin's

I couldn't get over how cute Lyla was with her teeny tiny club. She meant business too, she would set up her ball all by herself...

...and this is what she would do if someone tried to help her!

Jack and Lyla with Grandma Doris and Grandpa Rick

Camping

The first weekend in May we braved the cold weather (luckily their was no rain) and went camping up at Pineview with the Miller's.

The kids all chillaxin'

Making smores...they were a big hit!!

Can't wait to go again!!!

Jack

The end of May brought the end of preschool and soccer for Jack.

His preschool graduation was adorable. They sang songs and told us about what they did that year. He did such a good job and the fact that he got up their and did the program without one shy moment made mommy extremely excited!

Miss Keely, Jack and Miss Brooke

Singing songs

His favorite things...no idea, I couldn't understand!

I am still sad that preschool ended. He learned so much!!!

A little relaxation after such a good program!

Jack was so excited about his soccer medal, he wore it for 3 days straight.

Letting Lyla try it on.

Easter

Easter this year started last Thursday, coloring eggs at our house. All 4 of them.

Then Saturday we colored eggs at Grandma Callie's house...

Then the Easter Egg Hunt...

The Easter Egg Hunt at our house...

Lyla liked to shake every egg she found and if it made sounds she knew it was jelly beans and would stop to enjoy a few.

Jack and Lyla with their loot.

All dressed up for church. I took a few before church when her hair was still wet and not out of control :)

Relaxing at the end of a very fun filled day.

Random Pictures

Lyla loves to sneak off by herself and catch up on a good book

Sean snapped this one on his phone while on a walk with the kids, so cute!

Every time I make dinner or lunch or anything for that matter BOTH kids want up on the counter. Which would be fine if I had more counter space.

Soccer

We decided that Jack was old enough to play soccer this season and tonight was his first game! Just in case all the kids look alike to you, Jack is the one with white long sleeves.
