Spring Break Fun 2011

This past week was Spring Break. We had a great time staying here. It was fun with a lot of friends. We love our friends! We made a list of SOME of the fun things we did...the kids helped and wrote a lot of the list! It was great and A TON of fun!

(Sorry, I forgot to take pictures towards the beginning of the week. Lots of pictures at the end) :)

MONDAY:
• Went to the library and stocked up on books and movies (however, within the next 2 days Kylie was already done with all her chapter books and we had to take another quick visit to get more chapter books for her).

  • Bowling at Red Rock with friends

  • Watched our friend Avery
  • • Popsicles
    • Had Family Home Evening

    TUESDAY:
    • Pancakes
    • Went to the
    doctor (Peyton needed another shot to fulfill his Kindergarten registration, and we needed to check up on a rash Porter was having...an allergic reaction to some meds).
    • Playdate with the
    Comin's (thanks Kiki for helping with the ties!)
    • Baseball at the park

    WEDNESDAY:
    • Went to Chuck E Cheese (The kids each got 10 or so tokens. They chose their games wisely this time :)
    • Looked at toys at Target
    • Mom got scared of a spider (yep. I was changing Porter's diaper and underneath my legs was a huge spider...thankfully it was rubber and a toy, but nonetheless, I still screamed and threw it across the room). :)
    • Peyton and Kylie went to the dentist
    • Porter played at
    Kamryn's
    • Chose toy at Dollar Store
    • Mesa Park with friends

    THURSDAY:
    • Oatmeal
    • Lunch with Dad at
    Red Rock (Who knew a random Thursday afternoon at Red Rock would have such a long wait. We waited almost an hour. Madness...but the delicious gelato ice cream at the end made up for it. I go there for the ice cream. Serious.)






















    • Tantara Park with friends

    FRIDAY:
    • Gave boy's haircuts
    • Made fort, had popcorn, had Movie Morning...watched Megamind in our fort.



    • Made Easter sugar cookies


    Notice Porter's candy cane cookie...he insisted on making one of those instead of all Easter shapes. :)


    • Ran in sprinklers





    • Mesa Park with friends

    SATURDAY:
    Family walk/race (We went to an Easter 2 mile walk with the kids. They thought it was a race for them...dressed up in workout clothes, ran a lot of the time, and got red faces... thanks to the same genes as their mom). :)


    Don't be fooled by Peyton in the stroller...he was up and running most of the time, and fast, too!



    I love the red faces! They worked hard!




    • Played games and got prizes

    Nice form, Kylie! Your basketball coach must have taught you well! ;) Papa, you jealous of the snow cone?! :)


    • Easter egg hunt with friends




    Porter enjoyed all the treats, snacks, and ice cream! Hey, we see you sneakin' that popcorn!

    Our great friends...The Grundy's and The Armstrong's





    Dennis Family Easter 2011




    • Painted Easter eggs (Yep! This year we painted them instead of dying them. It was a golden egg kit. Pretty cool!)



    • Painted pictures
    • Picnic at Mesa Park



    • Flew kite!



    Do you like our list? I love some of the random things, like what we ate for breakfast. :) We had a great week. We hope you did, too!


    HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!!

    Wowzers, Anna! What a fun week! You sure sound like the best mom! What lucky kiddos! Reading your list sounds a lot like the things we like to do. (Sigh) I wish we lived closer! I miss you! I think you and I would be the best of friends...oh wait, we are, but I mean best MOM friends. You know what I mean. Anyway, way to go Kylie on getting that award! That doesn't surprise me from what I know of her from the blog! Oh, and the running through the sprinklers made me jealous. Last week while YOU ran through sprinklers, WE had snow on two separate days. Yep, I think that settles it. I'm moving to LV!!!
