We are ready for you spring...SPRING BREAK!

The wonderful primary presidency planned a family game night for our ward and Kim and Lyza were able to go (I was home with sick boys)
This is one of the fun games that Lyza participated in

The squirrels have been very active in our back yard

This one was digging some pretty deep holes and I had to chase him away

Cool sunglasses Nixon

A couple of Sundays ago Lyza and I set up the new tripod and played around with it

Nixon joined in with his beautiful blue lips

We played some games and played with puzzles in the afternoon

This looks like trouble

I know I am in the video but I have no recollection of this happening (that is my story and I am sticking to it)

When you are just dying to get outside after a long winter you throw on some winter boots and a hoodie and traipse around in the snow in your pajamas

And you might as well swing while you are at it

Although there was some hope that the snow would eventually melt

Nixon helped me shovel all of the snow off the porch

My beautiful wife

If Spider Man was also a fire fighter

When the weather warmed up the kids could at least ride their bikes on the sidewalks where people have shoveled

Mason playing in the snow in the back yard in his pajamas

It was all fun and games until he fell down

For St. Patrick's Day Kim made some fun green drinks for the kids

After our kids finally got feeling better they were able to do these water tornadoes for preschool 

They also made clouds, which the kids really liked

His attire seems to suggest some confusion about the season

Same

Mason has been OBSESSED with this hat and a variety of gloves and mittens

Kim painted Lyza's finger nails

Nixon also got one nail painted (he asked to have it off within a few minutes)

Pretty nails

Henry did pretty good with this avocado. His tray was completely green by the end

Lyza and Nixon colored these for their Grandma Bullock

These two have been really interested in Spider Man lately (I know that is not hard to believe for Nixon)

They even exercise together

Hearing Mason sing to Henry is pretty cute

My wife kind of like to scare our kids sometimes

Is there anything cuter than seeing Lyza read the Friend magazine to Nixon?

I guess this is kind of cute too

I got to go to Lyza's parent-teacher conference and hear all about what a wonderful student she is. Nixon was with me and wasn't too interested. So I gave him my phone to let him take pictures. The credit for this shot goes to him.

We surprised the kids and went to Welling for the start of Lyza's spring break. Kim packed everything without telling them (shows how observant they are to what is happening around them) and we left early in the morning without telling them where we were going. When asked Kim told them first that we were going to run some errands, then that turned into getting gas, then a car wash, until we finally told them. 

We had lots of fun. Here is a video of some of the highlights:

Spring is here and we are loving it! Hope you are too!
