Spring pictures/Class pictures

Nathan wanted me to make him a giant Samoa cookie for his birthday.
Dang it! Most of the videos I took of Blair's choir concert are too large! I need to figure out what I did to my camera because I used to be able to take videos around 2 minutes and they would download no problem. Now I'm lucky if a minute will work...Well here's a small glimpse of the songs Blair sang...
Haha! I took a video of her video on the computer. Definitely not the best quality but at least you can hear the songs...
Again a video of her video...

They were having audio problems off and on during the concert.
Easton's first Zone Conference
Elder Kelsey and Elder Peterson
I think Easton got the tallest missionary as his companion!
Blair's astronomy teacher invited parents in to watch them present their board games. It was kind of like a science fair setup. Only two parents showed up and they were both from Blair's group! Blair asked me to take a picture of her board but I surprised them by taking a picture of their group too! Haha!
Nathan getting ready to run a 1/2 Marathon!
I was only yelling because I knew his goal was for sure to finish under 2 hours but he was really hoping to get 1 hour and 50 min. I knew he was close to that so I was trying to encourage him to go a little faster!
So close!
He ended up 2nd in his age category!
I got to read almost a whole book (short book) while he was running. I probably could have finished it but as soon as he called me (2 miles out) I stood up and waited for him to come in. I really didn't want to miss him. If I would have really thought about it I probably could have read for another 15 minutes before I needed to start looking out for him.
The 3 youngest decided to join the high school play "Wizard of Oz" KK and Eden will play flying monkeys and Blakely will be one of the Emerald City people. All the high schoolers LOVE Eden and just think she is the funniest/cutest little girl! She's eating a snack on stage and I have no clue where she got it! What Eden wants, Eden gets! Blair's a bit nervous and cringes every time someone at school mentions Eden because you never know what is going to come out of her mouth.
First night of Spring Break. I promised the 3 youngest that we would camp out in the backyard. The weather was great during spring break (80's) but I still froze that night in the backyard. Blair had to be up early the next morning for SATs so once my alarm went off at 7am I made all the girls come in. I couldn't feel my toes or nose!
S'mores
Rock climbing!
Dyer was promised Red Robin if he went! Haha!
Nathan had almost a near death experience!
Dyer was belaying Nathan (I think Dyer's first time ever) and once Nathan got to the top he started coming down. Dyer was not ready for that so Nathan fell more than halfway down before Dyer locked the rope. Good thing Dyer has quick reflexes and knew exactly what to do with the little training he got! It was scary!
Nathan and I took the 3 youngest to Hagerman Fossil bed and Thousand Springs. Hagerman was a huge disappointment. It took us a while to actually find the waterfalls we were looking for because everything has the name "Thousand Springs" in it.
Toad
Blakely likes to take nature pictures!
Lizard
We took Dyer's car.
Dyer's car apparently doesn't have any vents in the back and we haven't put any puke bags in his car yet. Blakely was feeling sick so Nathan told me to dump out the water in his water bottle so Blakely could use that to puke in. I wouldn't suggest trying to dump out water down the interstate going 80 mph. It all flew right back into the car! Oops! It definitely cooled us down! I ended up switching Blakely seats so she could have shot gun.

Dyer picked our activity this day of Spring break. Book of Secrets escape room. We made it out with some time to spare!
Haha! KK and Eden dressed up as detectives!
We've been watching 50 states in 50 days. We had 3 episodes left so we came up with our own version of the wheel of doom!
We asked the kids to donate some of their personal money for St. Jude's and I was very surprised how super generous they all were! I thought they would donate $1-$5 each but most of them donated at least $20-$35 each!
Blair won the Peep jousting contest this year!
