~A Week with the Kids & the Newest Members of our Family~

Mason and Mariah had a week off for Spring Break and we have been planning for months for them to come stay with us during this week!!! We were all looking so forward to it and had a BLAST!!! I love them and they are such great siblings.
On Monday we had FHE and Sheldon gave a great lesson on taking care of things. So for our activity, we went to Walmart and had the kids help us pick out some fish to take care of.First Family Picture!!!!
Our five cute fish! The big orange one is Flopper, the big red one with a white face is Annabella, the little white one is Squirt, the little red and white one is Quinn, and the fat orange one is Brody. We love them! Flopper is called flopper because he kind of flopped onto the counter when we were putting him in the tan. Squirt is really a squirt. He likes to poke at the other big fish. Annabella is just so sweet and Quinn and Brody are so cute.
Sheldon is so cute!!! I find him in this position all the time. He just loves to sit and watch our cute fish and encourage them on.
Mariah was so excited on the night before her birthday!!! She set the timer for when it would be midnight and then her 13th birthday. It went off and she screamed!!! She was so hyper and excited. My little sister is growing up and is a teenager now.

We had a fun week full of working out with Emma. Us girls did the running and Mason and Sheldon enjoyed some basketball. Mason is getting really good and enjoys playing with Sheldon.We had our other good friend Jessica Bentley over several times this week. Her husband Jayson was gone for 4 days on a school field trip. She came over and we made sweet and sour chicken together and played lots of card games. Mariah, Jessica, and I went to the Justin Bieber movie and Sheldon and Mason went to Gnomeo and Juliet. It was a really good movie and I was really impressed with such a good kid Justin is.
We took the kids and Jessica to Green Canyon hot springs and enjoyed a night of swimming and sitting in the hot pools.And with our King bed, we had a fun sleep over!!!
