Catching Up

One of my goals this summer is to stay up to date on our blog.  We'll see how it goes. 

But for now, I will try to catch up on what has been going on since I last posted.  Sorry it has been so long!

Mostly we were just busy going to school.  To refresh everyone's memory, I am going to school for Elementary Education and Kai has decided to go for a Master's in Business Administration.  It was a busy semester as we both were going full time.  And we are doing it again next semester.  Both of us are taking a class in the summer to which starts June 7th.  We both ended up really good!  We were excited!  But amidst all the hard work for school, we were able to find some fun things to do. 

Over spring break, which was in March (I know, slacker) we went to Thermopolis swimming.  I had never been swimming there because I am not such a good swimmer, so I never really wanted to go when we went as school activities.  The boys had a blast and Kaydee loved it too!  Before we went swimming we walked around the little walk path they have there.  They also have a big swinging bridge which, needless to say, I was quite afraid to go on.  Kai wanted to go on it and take some pictures.  He coaxed me onto it a little ways and then all of a sudden a HUGE wind came up and I kid you not, Kai was literally standing sideways to be able to stay on.  Yeah, I ran off as fast as I could!  Here are a couple of pictures of us on the little walk.

Then, over Easter break we went driving around.  We found this little house on a dirt road headed up to the Big Horns.  It was pretty cool!  We also did some other exploring that day, trying to find our way up to the Pryors from behind Cowley.  We didn't so much find it, or we were on a road that took us there, but it was getting close to dark and we didn't want to get stuck and not be able to get out.

 Easter was not too big and exciting at our house.  We colored a few Easter eggs and then Kai hid them around the yard for the boys to find.  They enjoyed that quite a bit.  We are mean, we don't tell them there is an Easter Bunny.  It detracts too much from the real meaning of Easter.

 One weekend we went bowling.  Matthew and Mason absolutely love bowling and ask if we can go everytime we drive by the bowling alley.  Well, we were bored one Saturday and decided to attempt it again.  They get a little restless at the end, so we tried to hurry it along.  I think that Mason smoked all of us and we even played with bumpers.  Pretty sad huh?  But yay for Mason!

 These next two pictures were just ones that I decided to put on of our cute children!  We gave Kaydee some chocolate pudding for her to eat herself.  Can you tell she enjoyed it? 

Since it has been raining so much these last few days we decided to go swimming at the Powell pool yesterday.  We had a blast and Matthew didn't want to leave.  They have a pretty fun set up for kids, I think.  The have a lazy river and a little place that have pads that they can jump to and see if they can stay on.  Matthew had a blast with that.  He freaked out the first time he fell in, but once he realized I was there to take care of him, he was just fine. 

Well, that's the catch up in a nutshell.  Like I said, I will try to be better from now on.
