Spring Break means getting to see our kids and grandkids. First, Tami, Ryne and their 3 kids came. They have a house here that they've been renting out since they left to go back to school, then medical school. They had such a hassle getting their renters out and their place was pretty trashed and they left both back and front porches full of their stuff that we had to haul off!! We spent the first couple of days doing lots of cleaning, tearing out carpet and pad and filling holes.
On Saturday, it was Colter's baptism. It was so nice they could have it here because this is where most of Ryne's family is and it meant we didn't have to drive up to St. George!
What a sweet, wonderful family- "The Peters"
Colter has a lot of cousins that came to the baptism.
Kari and her boys came Friday, they followed us home from Mesa. Tami and I drove to Mesa Friday morning to attend an "angel-versary" that Bret was having for his kids to remember their Mom, Becki who died last year on March 13th.
Colter, Blake and Adlee.
Aunt Lisa and Colter. Lisa and her kids came Saturday and got here a couple of hours before the baptism. She had bad, snowy, foggy conditions on the roads trying to get home, but she made it.
Ryne baptized Colter at the Eagar Stake Center. His dad, Shawn is the Bishop of the Ramsey Park Ward. Colter looked so cute in his new suit.
Tami's family all left on Sunday and Kari's boys were really sad!
We had one day of nice weather and then we had COLD and snow the next day!
The kids were all getting ready to go play in the snow and this is what Landon put on! Just a hat and gloves! It was pretty funny!
Kari made St. Patricks Day really fun for the kids. She had 'Lucky Charms' on the table when they woke up and on the back of the box was a card with the first clue on it that led to another clue, then another that finally led to a treasure--a box of lucky charms marshmellow treats. The kids loved it.
Kari's baby Gabe is finally walking and is so very adorable!!
Kari's boys all dressed in their green St. Patrick's Day shirts. Landon said, "Take my picture too."
Lisa's kiddos- Lilly, Lucy and Landon.
Later we made crafts and homemade shamrock, green pancakes!Lucy tuckered out after a long day!
Kari left on Wednesday and Lisa left Thursday morning. It was wild and crazy with a houseful of noise/mess makers, but so fun having them all home!
