Too much fun!

We've had some fun days lately. We spent the entire day Saturday with my sister Ali and her family. We went to Hogle Zoo and then swimming at their hotel (the Grand America--where, incindentally, the Phoenix Suns are staying and Shaq walked right in front of us!!!). It was lots of fun to spend time with them and glad they called us!!! Thanks folks! (Side note: how weird is it that both my sister and I have a bad shoulder --same side--hurting us almost the same way? Wow, do we have weird sister vibes or something?)

So, thinking that the boys need more energy expending activities, we bought a bounce house! Well, I've actually wanted one all winter, and I've been looking around, and happened to mention to my neighbor that I wanted one, and she found a guy selling brand new NICE bounce houses for really good prices. So we bought one! Not too big; it fits in our toy room, but big enough! I wanted to wait and have it be their birthday presents (both birthdays are in June), but I just can't wait for them to expend that energy!!! And they love it. It has a little slide and they just love jumping and sliding. Only one problem: the baby HATES it. Freaks out everytime we put it up or take it down. Won't be in the same room with it. I hope he gets over that soon....

Weston's class had Dads and Donuts Day, and Weston loved it! They had a good time together and Weston got to talk all about his dad. He was scared at first, but got over the anxiety quickly. Aidan was pretty bummed he didn't get donuts, so we went to Sam's club and got a box of powdered donuts (about 60 of them for 3.50ish--good deal, I think!).

And just this past weekend for General Conference, we went to Bear Lake with Scott's family. Grandma and Grandpa had a cabin, and now it will be sold (since they died), so we thought we'd take one last trip there before it is gone. We had a good time, although the boys we very disappointed we didn't get to get in the lake... a little too cold. It was a rather crazy trip, though. Somehow the power bill wasn't paid (the fault of the company not sending the bill to the right place), and so the electricity was turned off. They wouldn't send anyone out to turn it on til Saturday, and so where were we to go for Friday night? We didn't have heat or light! Fortunately, we know someone who has a cabin just across the lot, and fortunately, they had a key in a lock box. We stayed there for the night. The only down side was that we had to clean two cabins by the end of the trip. Otherwise, even with all the craziness, it worked out fine! We stayed up late playing games and watches movies and watched conference (well, kind of--with kids it is always a little difficult...---and we normally use our Tivo to watch, which makes all the difference in the world!). It was a great conference--I am very motivated to be a better person, go to the temple more often, and be careful with money!

We've had lots of fun, and now it is time to get ready for Easter!
