The Kitchen Family

 {part one}

 This picture above pretty much explains our break. The boys did not want Daddy out of their reach for a second.

Friday we went to Home Depot to buy wood for our "project", our roses started to bloom, we made lots of homemade pizza, enjoyed the sun and sleeping in, vanilla bean ice cream with reese smashed in it, built forts, and the boys wrestled Daddy A LOT.

 Our project was to make a Grow Box to plant a little garden in our backyard. It turned out great! Good work Daddy and Cohen for building and staining it.

 Saturday I ran a 5k with a group of friends, supporting Down Syndrome. Our team name was Team Andrea {Chris, left of me, her little girl Andrea is Down Syndrome} Very fun race, and Camee {my loyal running partner} and I were very pleased with our time of 26 mins. We run three miles three times a week just for good exercise, "therapy" and fun, and that helped us out. I finished as 2nd female overall and Cam was 3rd female! We both got first place in our age divisions. Couldn't ask for better. Most of all, it was just fun. Supporting a GREAT cause, and even in the sprinkling, cold weather we all had a blast.

 Our team consisted of: The Cosme Family, The Davidson Family, Kristen and Camee Montgomery and Me.

Saturday Night we went to our Ward Chili Cook off party. It was a small turn out, but still very enjoyable. My black bean, white chicken chili won 'Most Original'.

  

The boys wore all of us out every day, but it was worth every second of tiredness. We didn't waste ANY time on this break.

Monday afternoon, we met the Garza's at Keller Pointe at the indoor swimming park. The water was pretty chilly, but we all had a blast!

 My little Brend shivered most the time and it didn't bother him at all. He LOVES the water and LOVES to splash. He held on to the spray gun for four straight hours.

 Three best buddies getting warm.

 Silly faces!

 We worked up a serious appetite swimming.....Brend couldn't shovel it in fast enough. Below he has put a whole Banana Bread muffin in his mouth. Yikes!

 Great memories made at Keller Pointe!

Perfect way to start out our first day of Spring Break.
