Batting Cages

I just found some pictures that I never posted on the blog from Spring Break.  We had a great time and did some fun activities.  We went to the batting cages one night.

McKay always finds things to do.  He was very interested in the batting helmets and the many different ways they could be worn :)

This picture is so funny, Palmer's eyes are shut because there is a baseball flying toward him!  I don't even remember what the outcome of that was.

The cute daddy showing Hunter how to bat.

They all did so well. 

The Josh showed them all how it is done :)

And some how I ended up hitting.  I don't think I did very well...

Burrrrr

 Our lives have been invaded by baseball season.  On any given night of the week you can guess we are at some baseball field or another.  I took a couple of funny pictures last night on instagram (I am Emily7n if you want to follow) and thought I'd share.  We brought blankets because it was so cold and Josh put some of his jackets on Hunter and McKay, they were a little big...hoping it warms up tomorrow!!

Palmer's 2nd Grade Party

 Palmer's wonderful teacher invited all of the kids in her class who had met their monthly reading goal 8 out of 9 months this year.  Palmer was so excited to get to go to the fun celebration.  We had to hurry him out of his baseball game in order to get him there on time.  It was a fun night with just Palmer and Josh and me.  It is great to be able to do that every once in a while.  All of these pictures are from Instagram, as I forgot my camera.

There was a fun dinner and then stations that each of the kids could go to.

 We got to go to horseback riding first which Palmer was thrilled about!

 We also got to do a little sing a long with a guitar which the kids were so cute for.  I loved watching Palmer sing all of the fun songs.

 They then went to a station that was roasting marshmallows and they could play basketball.  Josh got them all involved in a competitive game of H-O-R-S-E.

 He claimed that he liked the charcoal best :)

The last station was four wheelers.  It was such a fun night and one that neither Palmer nor his parents will forget!!

BYU Women's Conference

 I love Women's Conference at BYU.  I have gone for the last two years.  The first time I went was my mom and me and then I went with my good friend Mindy.  This year ALL of my sister and I went with my mom and can I tell you, it was so fun!!!

 We had such a good time being together, talking late, eating yummy food and being uplifted and enlightened as we went to the classes at BYU. 

 I will always remember this wonderful memory.  Especially since my sister Michelle (second from the left) just moved with her husband to California.  We are missing them already and they have only been gone a few weeks!!

 My cute mom bought us all matching bags, which was so sweet of her. 

 We ate at PF Changs and Zupas.  Two of my very favorites!!

I hope we get to do this again some day, it was so much fun!!  Love these wonderful women.

Easter (Finally)

 Finally I am posting about Easter...I really am trying!  Life is really just absolutely crazy right now.  We had a lovely and relaxing Easter this year.

 The boys woke up early on Saturday to their Easter baskets.  Later we went to the Palmer Family Easter celebration (posted below). 

 We couldn't find Hunter's Easter basket liner so Josh improvised :)

 The boys were all so excited to get Webkinz.

 Palmer was especially excited about it.

 On Sunday the boys woke up to new Easter clothes and we headed to church.

 Later that night we had this for dinner and apple pie for dessert (recipe coming soon to the cooking blog). It was a bit more simple of a year, but just perfect.

 After dinner we had our traditional "Easter egg hunt."  We actually hide healthier snacks for the boys to find.

 They don't seem to mind.  The only Easter eggs are plastic and filled with money :)

It was such a fun year!
