Welcome Spring!

Even though the first official day of spring isn't until tomorrow, we celebrated it today by heading over to the Draper Park with the Vincent clan. The boys all had a blast playing with each other- swinging, riding their bikes and scooters, and running around. Jen and I were able to visit a little while trying to keep track of all the boys since it seemed like every mom in Draper had the same idea we had and the park was packed. Baby Kensley watched all the activity and enjoyed some sun-she didn't make a sound the whole time! Logan kept asking on the way home if we could go again in "two days". Hopefully the weather will stay as nice as it's been and we can do just that! We are so glad that Spring has finally arrived!!!

Baseball practice

In preparation of Logan starting Little League Baseball next month, we decided to head out to a local park that has a baseball diamond to practice. He loves to hit the ball and run around the bases while Sawyer and Jake chase him, and he has really improved in his throwing this year. We are looking forward to going to his games and cheering on his team! The boys also had fun playing on the playground they had there, sliding down and slide and swinging. It was just nice for us to be able to get out and enjoy some warm weather for a change since we all have a little bit of spring fever.

New "pets"

Logan has been bugging us for awhile now to get some sort of new pet that he can call his own. He has shown us how responsible he can be by feeding Jake every morning and night, surprisingly he usually remembers and never complains about doing it. Upon doing some research, Anthony decided on the perfect pet for Logan- Bearded Dragons (lizards). I had never heard of them, and was not too thrilled when he "surprised" me by getting not one, but two of them for Logan. Their names are Max and Ruby. The best part is they live in Logan's bedroom-lovely. I am still not too thrilled with having two reptiles in the house, but Logan has been having fun holding them and feeding them (I won't even go into the details of what they eat!). I guess as long as there aren't any snakes in the house (yet), I can't complain!

Things really slowed down around here this month, compared to the last few! We've enjoyed a couple of nice days where the boys were able to play outside, but otherwise we've been doing things indoors. I know it's still a little early, but I am so looking forward to warmer weather!

Fun in the snow and sun

Logan, Sawyer, and I are totally sick of being indoors this winter! I have ran out of things to keep the boys busy during the day, so we decided to head outdoors and play in the backyard. What a nice day it was to play in the snow and enjoy some sun. They had fun sledding down our hill and running around chasing each other. We also played frisbee, kickball, and football, and even had lunch outside. I was even able to get Jake off the couch and come outside with us! Whew- we were all worn out when we were done, but we all enjoyed the fresh air! It makes me look forward to spring even more-which can't come fast enough!

Bowling!

We decided to take the boys bowling last week for the first time. Even though he has never been, Logan felt like he already knew how to bowl since he plays on Wii all the time and is considered "pro status". Sad to say, he actually did better than me! Sawyer was even able to participate because they have a ramp you can place the ball on and side rails, so he would just push the ball down the ramp-he even got a strike! We all had a fun time and it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the winter!
