We are MARCHing, ever marching...

Yet another month has passed...that's how we roll!  March was busy, but I remembered to pull out my camera a little more often just to catch a little of glimpse of our usual days.  Yeah for phone cameras!!

Uncle Dallin came to visit for the weekend.  We took him to the park.






















Love to be silly with my Lexi























I found these shirts at Walmart for $3!  I think I won mother-of-the-year that day.

















Keira went looking through some of my Family Fun magazines one day and came upon a picture of a treehouse.  She asked Daddy Boy if he would build one for her.  Talk about an overachiever!






















The girls enjoyed some brother time and time with brother's toys.

















Our big night out!  We attended a black tie event honoring one of the owner's retirement from Vivint.  The food was delicious and the program was very touching.























Keira and Lexi are always ready to help me around the house.  Planting our garden is definitely up there as one of their favorites.
























We started hanging out with our friends down the street more.  Jett and Jack are fun little guys.  Jett wanted to show me how strong he was by giving Keira a piggy back ride.  Of course, Keira had to try it, too.  (I love Lexi's cute pose in the background.  Totally shows her personality.)























Keira was asked to give a talk in Primary and she is a natural public speaker just like her Daddy!  I was even able to assist her with her visual aids.  We printed off coloring pages to represent different parts of her talk and let her color them.  "Jesus made the earth for us.  Animals, Trees, Plants, Flowers, Mountains, Waterfalls.  Our family likes to go camping, hiking, and fishing.  I love Jesus.  I'm grateful for this earth.  I'm grateful for my family.  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."  It was very rewarding to discuss her understanding of the creation and how we as a family enjoy the world around us.  She pretty much wrote the talk herself! 

Daddy had to work late on a Monday so I took the kids to the Dino Museum for FHE.  They have a craft, games, and a scavenger hunt throughout the museum.  The theme revolved around Easter since it was around the corner.  These girls NEVER get tired of coloring so this was a perfect craft for them.  Coop was a champ, as usual.
