March 2012 part 2

On March 22nd Preston and Nathan went snowboarding at Snow Bowl.While they were gone the girls and I tried to have some fun. We had a picnic in the backyard.



Went with some neighbor friends to a park.
Made a trip to Costco for some groceries and dinner.We bought a craft at Wal-Mart that the girls enjoyed painting. It is a keepsake box that they can frame photographs on and it spins.
More swimming in March. We are loving this pool. Our little inflatable train.
Amanda even got in the water a couple times.On the last day of spring break I took the kids to Peter Piper Pizza for their lunch buffet and to play.


After spending money on tokens for the various games we had the most fun with this playland and fun mirror. The place had pretty much emptied out by this time so we had the place to ourself. We were all cracking up at how the kids looked in the mirror. I laughed so hard I cried. Fun memories were made and it still makes me smile weeks later to think about it.

Nathan is such a great big brother.
At the end of March some of our cousins stayed with us while their parents went on a cruise. It was weird having 8 kids for 5 days but it wasn't too bad. The kids all got along and were helpful. One of the days after my kids came home from school we went to Jump Street.

One of the nights we invited all the family on Preston's side over for a BBQ and of course swimming. :-)
One of the days we went swimming I put Amanda in this floater and she went to sleep a few minutes after getting in. She knows how to relax by (or should I say in) the pool. We then took her out and laid her in the hammock to finish napping.
I took the cousins to visit Nana Great while they were in town. I had to do it while Nathan and Taylor were at school so I could transport all of them in one car. Amanda was so interested in Nana Great it was cute.
