Catching Up- March and April 2013

A few highlights from the past couple months...

Alex's kindergarten field trip to the Aquarium. Would you believe I paid $45 to go on this field trip?! Granite School District now requires parents to have completed a background check before going on field trips. I don't mean to gripe because I know it's just for the safety of the kids, but it's a sad testament to the world we live in these days.


I left my soap box back in that last paragraph, so now I can move on and say that Alex had a great time and loved it.

My handsome little fella on Easter morning.

Easter egg hunt at his cousins house.

The tradition of divvying up the candy from all the eggs. Typical boys... they dump even the unwrapped candy right on the carpet. When voicing my apprehension about that, my nephew told me not to worry because they had their carpet cleaned. (I know that was at least a couple months ago!) I smiled and walked away and hoped most the candy was chocolate because Alex won't eat chocolate...
Steph went on a road trip with a bunch of sorority sisters for spring break to a beach house in San Diego. Tough life, eh? I think the highlight for her was going to Disneyland one day, she hadn't been since she was about 10 years old.
Alpha Phi Spring Formal. She looks pretty, but a little too much like a 25 year old for my liking.
My friend from work Michelle and I ran in the Salt Lake Marathon's 5k. It was raining on us the whole time and we were pretty soaked but it was still a good time.
The race was the first in the country to take place since the Boston Marathon bombing so the organizers did some cool things to show support for Boston. This was a huge banner that we got to write messages on which will be sent to Boston.
I was happy that I saw Alex close to the finish line so I was able to give him a high five as I ran past. Right after we took this picture he went and turned on the hot water for me so I would stop shivering. My sweet boy sure loves his mama!
