Oh Good Times!! This was a dream vacation long awaited.  I was invited to a girls weekend with Anna and friends to the Porter's Beach house. Ummm. the Beach with no kids- how perfect is that? I headed there Thursday morning- weather was perfect when I got there, had some time to sit and read at the Santa Fe Depot,  

then took the Coaster up to Oceanside.  GORGEOUS! I had the beach and the house to myself for the whole afternoon/night. So relaxing.

 People finally started showing up late night- had to share a room with Anna and Mar and ended up staying up talking... fantastic. Haven't done that for awhile... then spent the weekend walking around Oceanside and just hanging out. It was a so nice.

 Anna and I went Kayaking in the harbor one afternoon- SO MUCH FUN! We spotted a couple dolphins swimming around, eventually making their way under us... pretty intense.

 One night Anna went all out and we played some "Minute to Win it" games. Hilarious! These girls crack me up!

 Right before we headed out all of us did some kayaking... well, no babies on a kayak so Tiff and Laura took a pedal boat.

 Sea Lions were everywhere...

It was a blast! Thanks girls! When can we do it again??

 Here is our month of April- in a nutshell!    Tatum got her hair braided for the first time..

Carter and Linc being silly... as usual

Missed a fun end to Mustache March- so start April out trashy..

Happy April! We'll see what the last week or so brings us!

Primary participation

Carter was in charge of giving the scripture last week in Primary. Ben found a scripture the thursday before and we started working on it in the car and at breakfast for the next couple of days.... and of course they all wanted a turn to say it. Sunday came around- he was so excited to go to Primary and recite his scripture. It was so fun to watch him get up to the microphone and have confidence in himself. He was so enthusiastic. Huge grin on his face! Too bad the mic wasn't working and no one could here him... It was awesome! This morning at breakfast we asked if they wanted to read scriptures or learn a scripture. They wanted to say a scripture instead. We haven't worked on this during the week, and they all remembered it. I am so impressed! So we finally got it on video.
