Climbing and Licking

will be joining the ranks of her syblings.

Nothing better then ice cream on the hottest day (79) of the year

Beckham loves mint chip, and insisted on the cake cone

Jaren, still managing to get it all over his face at 10

Hannah has always loved playing with her food. See the
perfect peak she's made with her ice cream?

I think these pictures pretty much sum up what a great day we had on our first day of Spring Break. It was the hottest day of the year so we took full advantage of it. It's going to be cloudy for the rest of the week. I was so proud of myself. I let the kids be kids. I got a question in Macy's this morning, " Are all these kids yours?" The woman had 9 kids of her own. Ranging from a son on a mission to a baby at the breast. She was standing in the deli section with the baby literally latched on. She told me she gets that question all the time and she's from California. I told her I still get it and I live in Utah County. Then on BYU campus there was another woman who had 5 kids. She commented to me that it was nice to see someone with more kids then her. She had a two month old baby too. I asked her when her baby was born, oddly enough the same day as Grace, Feb. 7th. What do you know. It was a great day.
