Jacklyn's Birthday

Time to catch up on what has been going on in the last few weeks at our house. Last Wednesday was Jacklyn's birthday. I took her to the store before school and let her pick out her own birthday presents. She was being really picky about what she and wanted and kept changing her mind, so I decided to just go let her pick this year. She finally decided on this My Little Pony scooter that is remote controlled and she was pretty excited about it. I also got her some other ponies that could ride in it that she wanted. I let her pick out the cake that she wanted. She wanted this strawberry cake. I think the reason she wanted that cake the most was because it was pink. Then when Micah got off of work we had a fun birthday party for her. She really enjoyed it. She also got a ZhuZhu pet with her birthday money. They are little toy hamsters that run around and make noises like real hamsters. I thought they were kind of dumb when I saw them at the store, but Jacklyn really wanted one, and they are actually pretty cool. Jayden ended up going back and getting one with his money. I thought that was funny, so now they both have toy hamsters that interact with each other. Also, on that note, thank you everyone for the birthday money and birthday wishes. We really appreciate it. Today was the last day of school for the kids so now everybody is at home and being busy, so I need to go. Bye.

Mother's Day Weekend

Last Friday, we had a lot of fun. Jacklyn went on another field trip and this time we went to the BYU duck pond to feed the ducks. There were a bunch of baby ducks there because it is springtime and the kids loved seeing the baby ducks swim around with the mommy. After we fed the ducks, we went to the park to have a picnic and play. It was a little chilly, but I think the kids really liked being outside and just running around. This is Jacklyn's last field trip for this year. Addison and I have had a lot of fun going on them. I always feel bad because Jayden wants me to go on his field trips, but I have to take Jacklyn to school while they are gone and they won't let me bring younger siblings, so I always miss out on his stuff.

Also, I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day last weekend. Micah and I went up to Idaho to see my mom and family, and it was a lot of fun. We got to hang out with everybody, eat Mike's famous dutch oven cooking, and cruise Main Street in Amber's Grandma car. Good times. Happy Mother's Day!
