Spring Break

I had to work most of spring break. My kids went bowling on Monday without me. Can you see how happy they were playing while I had to work.



Aunt Becky took them all to Game World on Wednesday. I was actually very happy to avoid that that trip. Aunt Becky is amazing.

On Thursday we headed to Utah. Look at my cute husband driving me there.





I was able to meet my best friend from high school, Jenalee. It was great to catch up with her I haven't seen her in years. I decided to torture her and make her get a pedicure. Most people wouldn't think this is torture, however Jenalee is recovering from a broken foot. Me being an idiot forgot. Luckily she was a good sport about it and we both ended up with really cute toes.




We ate lunch at Kneaders, my favorite place in Utah that I don't have in Boise. Then we took our kids to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. Chris has better pictures on his phone, so I will have to download them later.

Sam was very jealous that she missed out on having a pedicure. I sent her to Theron's house to hang out with her cousin Jessie. I was hoping that she would forgive me for leaving her out. Aunt Gena needed a pedicure and thought it would be fun to take the girls. I had the choice of going along or watching a hunting video with Chris and Theron. I obviously opted to go with the girls. There was a lacross store next door, so my nephew Adam and Justin came along to hang out at the lacross store. I didn't want to just sit there, so I had my nails done. I have never had fake nails before, so this is a fun new experience trying to type. This picture is our nails and I have been forgiven. Justin ended up with a lacross stick. It has become his new apendage. I think that he even takes it to bed with him.



My cute nieces were blessed - Ann Geddes eat your heart out - this is Emma and Chloe.


Chris had to leave for Nebraska on Sunday for work. The weather was pretty bad when I dropped him off. I thought that I might stay one more day. Being from Wyoming, I am not scared of a little snow. What scares me is a ten hour drive with five kids in the snow. Luckily for me the weather cleared up so I was ready to head home. My kids had their hopes up, they really wanted to stay one more day. After much begging and pleading I decided that it wouldn't kill us to stay one more day. Some of my kids were convinced that it would kill them if they had to leave on Sunday. So we stayed. The biggest perk to staying was that I was able to eat at Kneaders again on Monday. This time with my mom and sister. It was very good, I really need one in Boise.




Here is a close up of the girls. Chloe is in purple and Emma is in pink.




We are back at home ready to back to school and work. I only forgot to turn in two videos to the library (which is a $6 late fee), get snacks for Tanner's class tomorrow (which means a super early trip to Winco in the morning), a meeting I was supposed to go to with Tanner's teacher today, Devyn's spring break diary, Justin's talk in primary and whatever I needed to do for work and completely forgot about. At least I made it home safely with all of the kids, oh wait, Karen did I leave one of the boys down there, it is unusually quiet here. Nevermind here they are crashed out after all of the excitement.

  1. Ruby - I saw a link to your blog from Jenn Atkinson's. How fun to see pictures of your family and see what you're up to. I can't believe it's been so long since you've been married. Seems like yesterday you were pregnant with your first and visiting Hailey and I at our college apartment. Time flies. I'm in Utah. We have a blog too. www.marcelacamille.blogspot.com It's fun to be in touch. Take Care! Daisy (Iden) Reyes
