Riding bikes

The kids have loved riding bikes now that it is real great weather. They want to ride every single day. Peyton usually rides his scooter, and Kylie rides her Princess bike. They love it. Here is just a sample of the fun they have.

Chris' 10 miler

Last weekend Chris ran in the Mesquite Easter 10 mile run. We decided to stay overnight and watch him run his almost half marathon. Well, we got to our hotel, which happened to be less than a half mile away from the race, and they said they didn't have our reservation. We showed them our confirmation number, and they said that wasn't right. The internet company messed us up! Well, there wasn't any more rooms available there, and can you believe it, but there wasn't a single room available in Mesquite! So, we had to go to St. George and wake up early and drive back to Mesquite. If we would have known that we would have just traveled from our house in Vegas. Needless to say, we were very angry with Travelocity and what they did to us. And to think we had such a great time with the $7 hotel just right before. Anyways, enough about the hotel.

Chris did awesome in his race. It was pouring rain on him the ENTIRE time. The kids and I watched from the car and drove around and honked. The kids loved getting out in the rain and yelling, "Go, Dad, Go!" as he would pass by. Anyways, Chris did great. He took 1st in his age division, and 5th overall. 10 miles! Sheesh! The funny thing is is a bit ago he told me he hated running. He said it was boring! And now look at him...running way more than me! Way to go Chris! And he's training for a marathon this summer!!!

Gotta have another hotel sleeping picture, right?! So cute...

And Porter sleeping. Not a good angle because you can't see his face, but he's all bundled up, until the first second he can wiggle himself free when he wakes up.

Way to go Chris! So proud of you!

Primm

On Monday to Tuesday, we took a little family getaway. We took a half hour drive south to Primm, Nevada. My friend, Hilary, told me about a deal in Primm where you can stay at a hotel for $7, and that's including the taxes. On the weekends it is over $100 so this was great! The kids just absolutley LOVE staying at hotels. We walked in and they were like, "Ohh, a bed! Oh, a window!" They get so excited over the little things, which is great. The place was perfect for us and our three kids. The room was long so Porter was far away from the other kids during the night. It was a fun stay, and we'll go back again.

They went swimming. It was too cold and windy to go in the swimming pool, so they went in the hot tub. After they got out, they totally smelled like dirty socks. It was so gross! Of course they showered immediately after.

Actually asleep...

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we went to an Easter egg hunt in our community. It was real cold (well, for Las Vegas). :) Porter hated it...he hates the wind and the cold! Kylie and Peyton loved it, after getting over being cold from the wind. They got a ton of eggs and prizes and had a blast.

Before the egg hunt...

Kylie usually doesn't like being by characters. However, this time she dragged me over to the Easter Bunny and hugged him for about a whole minute.
Peyton proud of his accomplishment...:)

Kylie finding all her eggs...

With all their prizes. They each found an egg with, "You're a Winner" inside and claimed it for some prize baskets. They were thrilled.

Porter happy now that he is inside. :)
