March Madness

We had a great time in March! Here's the highlights of the month.

We started off the month with going to the Houston Zoo day with friends. We had a giant group, which was fun! Everyone corralled the kids along.

 The local library had a Dr. Seuss party one Saturday. I took Ashton and she had a blast.

That same day, I hosted a baby shower for a sister from church. I love planning events/parties and this was no different.

Tanner got a terrible 24 hour stomach bug the same day. He spent most of the day/night throwing up and sleeping. He even fell asleep on the floor once. Poor little boy. I became a little nervous about dehydration as he had gone about 18 hours with no wet diapers and wouldn't keep any fluids down. But right when I was about to take him in, he finally had a wet diaper. Hooray! Always like to avoid an ER visit, especially since we'd have to go to Houston for it.

One week was the school district's spring break, which means Ashton had no preschool that week. Joseph accompanied the scouts on a long campout that week as well. While he was gone, we went to the beach and the zoo again.

We finished up some house projects. One date night, we had the sitter take the kids to the park so we could finish painting the back of our house. Such a fancy date! We also built garden boxes with chicken wire around our garden beds to keep the kids out of them.

We found bluebonnets on a bike ride so I had to take the traditional Texan picture with the kids. They were less than enthused.

 We've been doing some training with River and Ashton loves doing it with her. We're teaching her to spin, bow, and shake paws.

My semester at BYU-Idaho is wrapping up. Just one more week of classes and then a week of grading final exams. I received a spring semester teaching contract, which means I have been teaching non-stop since Sept. 2015. I hope to get the summer term off but we'll see what happens. I enjoy the class and teaching helps me find a balance between my desire to work and my desire to be home with my kids.
