Spring Break Wasn't So Springy!

There was suppose to be one nice weather day during Spring Break, so we made plans for the ZOO!  We got to Boise and it was freezing, so there was a change of plans.
We thought we'd try the Discovery Center instead. I wasn't sure it was age appropriate for all 3 of the kids, but they each enjoyed the hands on experiments.

They needed to run off a little steam so we headed over the bridge to the park. Once they had enough of the slides we went downtown to stroll the streets and visit some quaint little shops.
We pulled in to the parking garage and Kambell requested that we park at the VERY TOP. So round and round we went to the 8th floor. That's something I've never done. Looking down from way up there was kind of spooky. Kasey reminded the girls of all the "Law & Order" episodes where a dead person was inside the elevator as the doors opened up.  Hence Kinlee's nervous face. I shouldn't admit this, but that is Kambell's favorite show. I know...bad parent. 
Once inside the elevator they giggled and tee-heed with all the motion and movement. 
Who would've thought that was the biggest kick they'd get during our little outing?
We rounded out the week at the YMCA with cousins. Keiser was lugged around by Kasey, Grandma and Carli because his old mom is too scared to get in the water. But it gave me ample opportunities to get some pictures. This one would have been really cute if he hadn't waved at me right when I clicked the camera. 
Back to school they go!  May I say "YIPPEE"

A Quick Trip to Buhl

Kasey had a meeting in Burley, so we jumped in and visited his sister's family in Buhl.  
All 8 cousins played and played and played! It was fun. 
Keiser enjoyed making some music at the piano...he looks like he knows what he's doing.

This was our first time playing a Wii. Kasey did Just Dance from the couch. He didn't win.

6 Going on 13

Kambell was counting down the days until her 6th birthday. She ended up having 4 birthday parties to celebrate. Her first party was at Bruneau. We celebrated while we were there helping my sister Kelli and Brody move into their new home!  Her 2nd party was at school.  Mrs. Maybon gives "spankings" and a pinch to grow an inch. Remember that? Kambell assured me they are just pretend spankings. 



 I'm pretty sure Keiser enjoyed the treats more than anyone.


The 2nd birthday was a family party; where Kambell received some very special gifts...a new bike from Grandma and Grandpa. Her and Kinlee also LOVE the make-up from Aunt Nicole and Uncle Corby.

The 4th party was with a few of her friends from school. An all girl guest list was expected, so Kasey and Keiser high-tailed it out for the afternoon.   
 

Kambell decided a ladybug party would be fun. When I came across a ladybug cake pan I had to get it. I had no idea how to decorate a cake, but it ended up being kind of fun. 

The girls were all so cute. They loved being together outside of school, playing, eating sweets and running 
around. 

It's been nearly a month since her birthday and now she's asking how long until she turns 7!
