Our "Staycation"
We thought it would be fun to have a staycation this weekend. So we got a really nice room at the Arizona Grand Resort just about 20 minutes from our house. We checked into our room, got changed into our swim suits and hit the water park. It was a blast. We relaxed down the lazy river, played in the wave pool, Gavin and Braden played a little basketball in the water and we just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. They had a stage right by our lounge chairs and there was a dance team there and they were trying to get everyone up on stage to dance with them. Ellie LOVED it. She danced the night away. It was a fun weekend.
Ready to go swim.
We are ready too.

Projects
I love projects. I get excited about them, they make me happy, and I love to try new things. So right now my new project is my craft/sewing room. I am working on getting it perfect for me. Check back soon to see the end result. I added a new touch to my desk I got last week at goodwill. I painted the top with a light green. I love it.

Where did it go??
Where did the month go? I really don't know. The kids only have a week of school left. CRAZY!!!
What's new around here? Braden is still playing soccer and is doing awesome. He finished his AR (advanced reading) goal last week at school and he earned a few more merit badges for scouts. Abby also finished her AR goal in school and has become a excellent reader. She is looking forward to summer so she can swim a lot and play with her friends. Ellie is just Ellie. She is silly and loves to entertain us.
This past week we all had the stomach flu. Luckily it was a short one. My mom came into town this past week and stayed all week. It was so much fun having her here. We shopped, ate out, worked on projects, stayed up late, watched movies and just hung out. It was so much fun and as always I was sad to see her go.
Also while my mom was here we went to goodwill and we came across a cute little desk. My mom talked me into getting it and so we sanded it and primed it and painted it and it turned out really cute. It will be my new sewing desk. Thanks mom for spotting the desk and helping me get it done.
Last night for FHE we took the kids out for yogurt. The kids sat at their own table and took turns sharing bites of their yogurt. It was cute.
The desk after.
