April...Mormon Battalion and Spring Break

My aunt and uncle from Omaha came to visit for my cousin Austin's spring break. We had a great time. We decided to head down to Old Town to visit the new Mormon Battalion visitor center and it is amazing. It has been closed for about a year, and they did an awesome job. The tour is great and then you can pan for gold after.














My dad and his sister Shelly. It was so fun to have them stay with us, we wish they lived closer, we don't see them enough.



For our Spring Break I decided to take the kids to Vegas to meet up with some friends in our ward. I asked my sister to come with us, and like me she is always up for a road trip, so we all headed up and we had a great time. We found a great place there which is a warehouse of trampolines. The kids had a fun time and burned off lots of energy, but unfortunately this is the only picture I have from it.

We did a lot of swimming. Our hotel had a kiddie pool so that saved me with Luke. The kids love to swim!!!!
Here they are with their Mardi Gras beads. The dealers inside the casino loved giving our kids these beads, I am not sure why but our kids loved them.
Everytime we are in Vegas we have to hit up Cafe Rio and Nielsen's frozen custard. Here are the kids with our friends the James' kids from our ward. We always have a great time with them.

Jill! I just caught up on your blog :) Blogging hiatus....yes, I've been on that as well! I just wish I had more to blog about without having a cute family like yours! Your kids are getting so big! I can't believe you have an 11 year old...seems just yesterday we were running the streets of Orem together :)
