General Conference/Spring Break

2 weeks ago we enjoyed a week with Nick as he had spring break.  We spent some time looking at houses and catching up on errands.  One night the Bodily's came over for family night and we talked about preparing for General Conference.  Nick's brother Jeremy came and stayed a few nights which was a lot of fun.  Molly just adores him.  That Tuesday we headed to Temple Square where Amy Mickel took some family pictures.

We ate lunch at the Lion House with Amy and Allison.  Then Allison took us to This is the Place Heritage Park to see the baby animals.  Molly absolutely loved seeing the animals and and riding the pony.

The next day we headed to Price.  Nick worked for a few days for ProRehab and we hung out with Joseph and Jessie and Bart and Jess before the rest of the family came on Friday.  We spent the weekend working at Grandpa Echers and celebrating his 84th birthday, eating good food, watching conference and chilling as a family.  The girls had a "Time Out for Women" when the boys were at Priesthood Session and Trin and Cara watched the little ones.  The whole break was much needed and totally ENJOYED!

Cute Joelle has never come to my in the few visits they have made, but this time she did and she loved letting me hold her.  I loved it too!

All the kids love playing with Avenley.  Especially Dallin, Matt and Keenan.

Easter Beauties!

Easter Festivities

I am loving the spring!  This weekend we celebrated Easter with wonderful warm weather!  On Friday we colored eggs and on Saturday morning the Easter Bunny had come and hid the eggs.  He also brought Easter pails and a few goodies.  Molly and Avey got matching dresses.

We had a neighborhood egg hunt/breakfast at our place and it was a huge success.  I think the kids had a great time searching for eggs.

Yesterday evening we went to Aunt Camille's for dinner.  We broke a pinata that Nick, Molly and I had made.  Enjoyed spending time with the Sidwell family.  It is nice being a little closer so we can attend those things.

(Yes Molly is in 2 different dresses in one day!  She is obsessed with dresses right now.)

Playtime

I love how HAPPY this little girl is!!  She would rather be held, but does pretty good playing on her own.  Even better if Molly is down there playing with her.  

Preschool

The last few months Molly has participated in a co-op Mommy Preschool group.  We had 4 kids but one moved and one opted out...and we gained one, so it has been a little crazy changing schedules around, but honestly it has been so nice.  The kids get a long great and enjoy learning together.  They are learning about the 5 senses.  Kendall Miller, Aubrey Stock and Molly. 

Cakes

Nicks aide had a daughter having a birthday this week.  Nick had shown her Molly's cake from January and she asked me to make 2 for her daughter.  I was happy with the way they turned out.  Hopefully they were too.  She paid me $20 to do it but after being in the kitchen ALL day working on them I ended up using the money to go out for dinner.
