spring break fun and then.....

This strawberry was way too weirrd not to blog about.  What is it with the HUGE strawberries these days. I think have all been genetically altered or something. We bought a box at costco and several of them had weird growths like this one.... odd!

We had a great Spring Break. It was so relaxing and the weather was nice for most of the week. We stayed in our jammies, played outside a lot, and enjoyed hanging out together. At the end of the week, we met my family in Park City for the weekend. It was a blast. It was two of my brothers and their families and my sister and her family. Eli and Ali (above) are good little buddies, most of the time. You can't tell, but Ali is a year older than Eli!

My boys love their older cousins. They always have a lot of fun with Denver and love to hang out with him. Eli sat there by Denver for a whole movie. He asks me all time where Denver is. He really loves him and looks up to him a lot!

We took a walk with the boys down Main Street. Park City is so fun. It is so close, yet it feels like a little retreat and feels like you went somewhere far away. There's no other place like it in UT. It's a fun little vacation spot. The weather was beautiful, weird, but really pretty. It snowed a lot and rained alot with sunshine in between, it really was pretty most of the time.

 I just got on instagram. It's basically like Facebook, but it's all pictures. We've been having fun with it and playing around with all the filters. I love that my pictures from instagram also upload to my computer. After we got home from Park City, I started getting sick. I ended up having strep throat. NOT FUN! So while I was laying on the couch, the boys were playing the wii. They also got treated to Burger King since I was not going to lift a finger to fix them lunch after getting home from the dr. It was a long and very tiring week of being sick. I'm thankful to be feeling much better!

While I was home sick, Scott took the boys to the symphony. It was the music of John Williams, so they played a lot of Will's favorite songs. They played Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Super Man, and several others. The boys LOVED it. Eli even sat through it and has been talking about it all week. Before the symphony started, they had lots of characters in the lobby, like Chewbacca, a strom trooper, Indiana Jones himself and several others. It was the highlight of the week for the boys.

We've loved having the family season pass to the symphony. It's something we will do again in the future for sure! I love exposing the boys to events like this that have something they love (star wars and the like) mixed with great music and I love that is something "non" -electronic and so much more worth their time than taking them out to eat or whatever..... Don't know if that makes sense, but we really love going to the symphony.

After going to the symphony, Eli has told me several times that he listened to star wars at the temple. :) I think he thought Abravanel Hall was really pretty and I'm glad he's making some association with the temple!
