Spring Break!

This was a wonderful week because Kyle had Spring Break. It was so nice to have him around all day everyday. We packed a ton into the week (maybe too much), but it was great. Let's see....we went to Knott's, planted a garden, went to the San Diego Wild Life Park, celebrated Easter, and relaxed!

We decided to get Knott's Berry Farm passes this year since Maddie and Phoebe are free. It is so worth it. They have great rides for kids and it is way cheaper than Disney Land. So if anyone decides to come to So. Cal get Knott's tickets instead of Disney and we can go with you!

Kyle did most all the work on the garden. We went and picked out plants with him and the girl's dug holes in the dirt while he planted. We all had fun. We planted tomatoes, bell peppers, and herbs. We decided to do just a few plants since we don't know how long we will be here.

Bonnie home schools her kids and always gets us amazing deals because of it. We payed $27 bucks for our whole family to go to the Wild Life Park and it usually costs $50 per person. However, I did not enjoy it in the least. We did this on Friday after an already fun filled week. I think I bit off more than I could chew with a 6 wk old baby. It seemed like Phoebe wanted to eat every hour. This might not have been a problem if I was one of those people who could nurse anywhere...I am definitely not like that. So I ran...ok jogged to the car every time she needed to eat. The park was BIG. Needless to say I did get a good workout in. By the last feeding I was so tired and emotionally spent I started crying. This lady noticed our situation and came and told me they had a nursing station in a bathroom by the front entrance. She told me she had been in my shoes before. At this point it was so close to the car I just went back to the car. What a nice lady. I did feel a little better after talking to her. The night before I only got 4 hours of sleep so that didn't help the situation. I don't do well with little sleep. Luckily the girls had fun and that's what I was going for.

We celebrated Easter yesterday and had a lot of fun with candy, eggs, and family. Today we decided to just stay home and relax. Best decision ever! The primary sang in Sacrament today and when they told the kids to go up Kylie was the first one up. She was so excited. I was in the cultural hall watching trying to hold off Phoebe so I could watch Kylie. I didn't even know she knew the song, but I heard her loud and clear sing every word. I was so proud of her. She definitely Loves to sing and does most her practicing in the bathroom:)

Here are some pictures:

Mads is next to Kyle I promise.

They had so many baby elephants they were my second favorite. My favorite was the butterfly exhibit. You walked in and butterflies were everywhere. One landed on my shoulder. I didn't get any pictures because Phoebe was crying so I walked briskly through and tried to capture the moment in memory.
