School Pics!

I feel like I've been posting about Indie a lot lately...But I had to put these up. We were surprised that the photographer was able to get him to hold still long enough to take a picture and to smile on top of it.

Spring Break

We had a crazy fun Spring Break. I tried to do something fun everyday.

MONDAY
 We had a picnic lunch at the coolest park I have ever seen! (Except for maybe Liberty Park back in the day when they still had their rope course, zipline, ballpit, and a hundred other amazing things that are no longer in existence.) They just finished it in Saratoga Springs. The above picture does not do it justice. Needless to say there will be many trips to come during the summer.

 Indie thought he was one of the big kids and was running around with a bunch of kids playing touch football.

                                                    TUESDAY
 FOOD FIGHT! We invited the Burnett and Wells cousins over and of course the Michaelson's were involved. How many kids do you know that get to have a food fight?
 Showing some muscles while they wait.
 AND GO!
 Having a great time!
 This isn't that much fun mom!
 Oh wait! Yes it is!
 The end result.
 And where was Park that whole time? Watching from the sidelines and staying clean, OF COURSE!


                                                WEDNESDAY
Wednesday Dad stayed home from work so that I could go and take a final down at BYU. He took the kids to Carls Jr. to play and to the creamery for some ice cream until I finished up. This is Indie enjoying his. Contrast him with Park and his cleaness. They are so different!

Thursday ended up being a recoup day for me. So the kids just played all day with friends. Friday we had lunch at Del Taco...we had free kids meal coupons...let's be real. And...

                                              SATURDAY
 We had a blast at Trafalga using our "pass of all passes." Rides, lazer tag, mini golf, etc.
 Riding the merry-go-round.
 Flying in airplanes.
 And riding "the hopper." I love how scared Annicka looks in this picture, and how bored the girl on the other side of me looks!
 Even Indie enjoyed himself on that one...where is Park you say? Where he always is, with his feet planted firmly on the ground. He did get to play some miniature golf with dad.

Indie is in that wonderful phase where he wants to do everything for himself. Need I say more? This was on our way up to Salt Lake to see the new City Creek center with my dad and his family for FHE.

Easter

Saturday we had dinner and an Easter Egg hunt at Gma Chamberlain's house.
 Decorating bags
 Indie thought he had to eat all of the candy in each egg before he could go find more. He got about three eggs before all of them were gone and he finally got the idea. Luckily we told the kids how many each of them could have and I was basically collecting extra eggs from them and rehiding them for Indie.
 Indie's reaction to me making him put one of the eggs in his bag.


 Dad and Milo watching the fun!
Easter Sunday night Milo got his first solid meal...if that's what you can call about three spoonfuls. He did pretty good.
What? Dad's taking pictures? Let me in on some of that action!

Teriyaki!

Lately Indie has been pulling this out of the fridge...
 And this is what he likes to do with it! I actually opened it and let him taste it. Didn't like it so much, but he kept on pretending to drink it anyway.
