Spring Break & 35
Jeremy took 10 1/2 days off around Hyrum's spring break & it was great to all be together. (I would be a huge supporter of a 2 to 3 week paternity leave bill being passed.) And unlike Michigan, it was actually SPRING here! It rained a lot but it is blooming all over the place & so beautiful. I think every year I forget how gorgeous it is in the spring & how much I love the color green.
I was able to take lots of good naps-yay for sleep! We went on a few first time 7-person-family excursions. You know, really exciting things like going to Target, Bass Pro Shop & to the park :-). Dallen is such a sport! I wore him everywhere we went & he would promptly fall asleep & stay out the whole time we would be gone.
Saturday this fine man turned 35! Holy cow-the 30's are half over for him. We didn't take a lot of pictures the rest of the week so these are all from the birthday day. We spent the morning at one of our favorite parks. It was a perfect, sunny, 65 degree day. If it never got hotter than that all summer long I would be perfectly happy.
What did Dallen do? Sleep of course!
Then Pa flew into town that afternoon. We spent the rest of the day playing in the yard & going swimming after dinner. Everyone had so much fun. We had two major breakthroughs. Hunter is fine in knee-deep wading water but anything deeper & he won't even go in the pool. But this time he went out in the deep end with Pa a few times & was smiling & laughing the whole time playing in the water. I couldn't believe it. His favorite thing was to play shark of course. Anything that involves being chased. The second breakthrough was that Hyrum went down the big slide! HYRUM did this. Sometimes I don't even recognize the kid. He has changed so much in the last while. He's always been so cautious & nervous to try things & he just isn't like that anymore. He climbed those stairs & headed right down. I was so proud of him. I need to get those boys in swim lessons.
And what did Dallen do? Sleep of course!
I love this picture! Happy Birthday Babe!
