Spring Break {Part 1}

So far Spring Break has been wonderful. We had Great weather last weekend...and we pretty much lived outside Friday and Saturday. We all got nice little tan lines. On Saturday Shaylee was invited to a Princess party. Boy to say she was excited is an understatement. She loved every minute of dressing up and going.
On Monday Dean and I celebrated 8 years together. Time sure does fly. He worked the night before, so he slept tell 11 then we headed up north to visit family for half of our spring break.

First stop was Uncle Justin and Aunt Katie's, they moved up north last year and we hadn't been by to see there house. The kids were excited to see cousins and get out of the car and play. Second stop, was uncle Tyler's and aunt Heidi's house to see more cousins. The kids played so well together, and had a blast. Tuesday Morning we woke up and headed up to Park City to do a little Shopping at the outlets while we waited for it to get a little warmer to go tubing. We met up with Aunt Stephanie so she could do a little shopping with us...then onto the tubing with more family. Uncle Matt and aunt Marci were able to come and bring the cousins. Minus Tanner who was sick...so sad. We had a blast playing in the snow. It wasn't to cold and it actually got hot walking (Hiking) up the hill. Toward the end we just had Uncle Matt pull everyone with his 4 wheeler around on the tube. This ended up being a huge hit with everyone...because they didn't have to hike up a hill. We of course had to stop at Dairy Keen and get an Ice cream..in the winter..I know.
Then we headed back down the mountain to enjoy a dinner with Grandpa and Grandma Monson. We left the kids with Grandpa and Grandma Monson and enjoyed Wednesday together. We went to the Salt Lake Temple in the morning it was fun to do sealings together and remember when we were there getting married. We then went shopping, and went out to eat for our anniversary since we were driving that day. Then Dean's anniversary gift was tickets to the Jazz game. So after dinner we headed over to the game. It was great, we had a blast. It didn't help that the Jazz totally schooled the Timberwolves.
We stayed at the Kimball in downtown Salt Lake that night, then headed up to save Grandpa Monson from the kiddo's. We came home to many fun new toy's and stories of all the fun stuff they did with grandpa. He even made them green pancakes for Saint Patrick's day!!
What a great Grandma and Grandpa the kids have. Grandpa played with them all day Wednesday while Grandma was at work. He took them up to Hill Air Force base to look at the Plane museum...a classic Shaylee statement as soon as they walked in and looked at the first plane, she turned to grandpa and asked if they could go now. I do think it was a hit with Preston though, he's talked about it quiet a bit today. They also were able to go play with the Hansen cousins again that night, they made shamrock cookies and painted their nails green and had so much fun. I love my In-law's, they are amazing parents and grandparents and I cant thank them enough for watching the kids, and for all they do for us. We are so blessed to have great family on both sides and loved being with everyone we were able to see.
