a break in spring...summer plans

Spring break was wonderful! It makes me EXCITED for summer. A few more weeks- and then no school, no waking up early, no homework, no carpools, no flashcards and NO SCHEDULES! Well, I do like my schedule, but I like it to be my own- not from someone else! Here's our spring break in pictures...

I took the big boys to the skate park for a couple hours of fun and then we ended at Golden Spoon for some yummy yogurt, to help us cool off. We had fun making silly faces and making each other laugh.



I took the kids to see Monsters vs Aliens in 3D, while Aaron was in Utah. It was a cute movie and the kids had fun using the super cool glasses.

Yeah- Daddy's home!

We spent an evening at the park- way more fun when Daddy comes, too!






Of course, we had to end the night at Golden Spoon- an after park tradition??

Once again- the pipe broke in our front yard. What a mess! Our whole front yard was dug up and we had no water. Ugh, I hate broken things!! This time Jose (our amazing fix-it guy) replaced the whole pipe so they had to dig through our plants and our beautiful hedge now has a large hole in it. I keep reminding myself it's like a bad haircut, eventually it will grow back, right??

I loved the time off and just being able to enjoy my cute kids. We had a fun week together. 7 more weeks until summer. So far our plans include Edmonds family reunion at Bear Lake, swimming lessons for the 3 oldest kids, family vacation to Big Bear, trip to visit Nana, many, many trips to the beach, lots of sleeping in, the brand new, clean, HUGE, amazing 24 hour fitness that is opening in 2 months and whatever else sounds like fun! Can't wait!

You guys always have so much fun! Totally jealous of all the Golden Spoon visits. Wish they had one here. I hope your summer plans will include a stop here to play!

You will have to let us in on your other summer plans because you always have fun ideas. I am totally feeling the same excitement as you- especially since I will be on summer break from college too!!! See you at the gym tomorrow for some Zumba I hope :).

Looks like tons of fun! I wish the weather here was cooperative for more outdoor fun! We try to make the best of it...but we will really enjoy summer time too!

Oh fun! You will love that new 24 hour fitness - it's the best break for Mommy and the kids.

Hooray for summer! We miss you guys!

Do you do Zumba? I tried it once and I looked like an absolute MORON - really, it was like pregnant Elaine from Seinfeld . . .bad, very very bad. Better just stick to step for me. ;)

What a fun spring break! You are such a good mom for wanting your kids to be out of school. It seems like a lot of moms like the break from their kids. I'm super excited for summer also, even though it doesn't affect us at all since we're not in school. I loved all the pics!
