Seeing gReEn!

St. Patty's Day. The kids love dressing in green and waking up to GREEN pancakes and this year we made GREEN orange juice. They thought that was great. They also asked if I could use some GREEN koolaid to make there spikes in there hair GREEN. And Sadie didn't want to miss out on the fun, so she of course had to have GREEN stripes in her hair.


We were going to have a GREEN dinner, but nothing GREEN sounded good for me. So we just settled for some taco soup and mint icecream. Sadie didn't know about this holiday, but her brothers filled her in on wearing green. She thought it was fun and even got mad at Scott a couple of times for not wearing GREEN.

THE SPACE DERBY!

Mitchell was able to participate in the Space Derby this year with the scouts. It was our wards first time trying the Space Derby, usually it is the pinewood derby. It was a bit chaotic, but the boys seemed to have a fabulous time.

A Girl's Getaway in Washington!

Sadie and I were able to fly to VanCover Washington this past weekend for a little Girl GetAway! Our GREAT friends the SMITHS live there and I have been dying to go out and see them. It was so much fun to catch up, spend lots of time together with Whitni and her Beautiful family, and of course to take in all the beautiful surroundings that Washington and Oregon have to offer. The blossoms were in full bloom and the flowers were all starting to bloom. I can truly say I had SPRING FEVER! Especially since the day we left Utah, we had 5 inches of new snow.

We had a fun filled weekend and were able to get plenty of activities packed in each day. A couple of our favorites were our hike into the most beautiful waterfall. Sadie even enjoyed the hike in and didn't complain about the walk. Sadie loved being with Kayla and Koby. Another highlight was going over into Beaverton, Oregon and seeing where the Roloff's Farm was located. Big World, Little People is a FAVORITE show of our families and since Beaverton is somewhat close, they took me over for a peek. It was dusk when we arrived but there farm is more beautiful in person than on the show and I was excited to get my picture by there sign in there driveway. ( Dork, I know but my boys were excited about the picture.)

Sadie's highlight was sleeping in Kai's fire engine bed. Kai and Koby were nice enough to let us spend the weekend in there bedroom. Sadie could not wait to go to sleep in the bed and has even told Mitchell and Kade they have to see this bed. Who knew she was so into fire trucks. She even let Mikaela put her to bed one night without me. HEAVEN SENT!

I also was able to get a great picture of Mnt. Hood on our drive back from the falls. Not to bad for out my window.










Our Host spoiled us over the weekend. It is hard to be back to reality!
Thanks a million.
WE LOVE YOU!
It was a great all around trip and SADIE, told me she LOVED being with JUST MOM!
Hopefully we can visit again soon.
