Our Little Soccer Star

Watson got to play soccer again this spring. He loves it! I love to watch him play with a giant smile on his face. He seems to be understanding the point of the game more each season. I love his passion and energy. He asked if I could be the coach again. Luckily he understood my hesitancy to run around with a bunch of five and six year olds while pregnant. He is my best.

Spring Break Times 2

We got a double dose of Spring Break this year. Chandler came home during March for his. We just couldn't seem to make it out of town so we did as many fun things as possible close to home.

The boys had a day of "biking and burgers." They worked on bike skills at I Street and the indoor bike park. They were all pretty worn out after that. The great weather really got Scott and Chandler excited for upcoming summer bike adventures.

Another day I planned a little day trip to Provo. Of course we had to stop at Krispy Kreme. Then we made our way to the Bean Science Museum at BYU. Watson was completely fascinated with all the taxidermy animals. It was pretty amazing. They also had a fantastic photography exhibit. We ate lunch at a super yummy Mexican place and headed home.

We also played a super intense, pretty long game of Monopoly. I dethroned champion Chandler and swept the game. Watson loved the wheeling and dealing of it all. He can't wait to play again. I swear, sometimes Watson seems to have the personality of my Grandpa Beesley. It comes out every now and then. Chandler was a little disappointed about his loss, but handled it like a man.

Our last night together we hung out at a hotel close to the airport. We swam and had a great time being in close quarters. 

It was tough to say goodbye to Chandler the next day but we could be excited Summer would be here so soon.

Watson was out of school a couple of weeks later for his Spring Break. He kicked it off by going to a friend's birthday party at Airborne. Another day we spent a day with Challey and her kids in Provo, this time at the BYU Art Museum. There was a cool exhibit about origami. It is always great to be with cousins. The weather was a bit wet and cold the rest of the week so we watched lots of movies and played many card games. It was a nice break from everything.

Easter

Grandma Nettie started a new church assignment recently. She is part of the service missionary group for Temple Square. So, we got to host a few of our Easter traditions this year. Dying eggs was quite the adventure. It was fun to gather around the island and watch everyone be creative.

The Easter Bunny still visited Grandma's house and hid eggs and baskets full of goodies, just a day earlier. Watson loved exploring the gardens to find as many eggs as possible.

The cousins, minus Chandler, are definitely getting bigger every year. There is almost not enough room on the front porch!

General Conference happened on Easter weekend this year. It was so relaxing to be home to watch and ponder and celebrate the miracle of the Savior's Atonement and Resurrection.
