For spring break we went to SLC/PROVO spent the week with my incredible SIL and nieces and Nephews and had a great time reliving my time at BYU. Although, FYI, walking across campus with 6 kids is quite a bit different from the experience I had way back when. I had no idea how quiet that place is. We were a pretty amusing circus act, I'm sure.
Since we had no Robert with us we have no pictures cause I was wrangling children instead of a camera. We also went Bowling, ate at the cougareat, wandered around the bookstore, saw the Bloch exhibit at the art museum, saw my nephew's play in the Nelke Theater, visited Hobby Lobby, University Mall, Sperry's, Russ and Raimee, Jackie and her family, and went to a UVU Baseball game. Doesn't sound like much, but it was a very full week. Because I'm 40 dang-it and I can take six kids on vacation alone. (Capable? Yes. Crazy? Also yes.)
Dad was sad, though, and very happy to have us home. He is currently suffering from a scratched cornea and is not allowed to wear his contacts-- He asked me to cook the bacon this morning because he couldn't see if it was done or not and he didn't think putting his face in a frying pan full of grease was such a great idea. I concurred and completed the bacon cookage. Additionally, he will be having cataract surgery probably before summer's out. (by-product of his torn retina 4 years ago)
TASKS AND EVENTS CURRENTLY OCCUPYING MY MIND LATE AT NIGHT:
* Kill 1/2 acre of weeds
*Boot Camp-- 5:30 x 2 each week + exercise 4x each week+ Running-- training for my second Marathon so I can say I RUN MARATHONS instead of I RAN A MARATHON

So tell me, are you taking all 6 kids to Disneyland? I love it through the eyes of a child, but I'm going to love it more when Joe and I head off for a quick work/vacation the first week of May. What ride will we head on first, without kids?
I'm glad you were able to see Jackie. She FB'd about how much she enjoyed your visit.
Aren't you using a contractor for your pool construction? quick note: if you get a water feature, such as a sheer descent (which you should), make sure it has it's own pump and power switch. Wish we would have done that!
