The First Days of Spring Break


So here are some pictures showing some events of the past three days. On Saturday, I took Kathryn to her favorite all you can eat restaurant Chuck Arama. Not a real smart thing for the two of us on a diet. By the way, speaking of diet...I'm not quite sure how the results of this diet will be during this Spring Break. I am trying to be good and do my Herbal Life, but some days have been better than others. It seems that most things we do center around eating and playing games. The game playing has been fine - it's the eating part that's killing me.

We've had dinner at Grandma's house, dinner at Rachel's house and tonight, dinner at Rebecca's house. In between all of that, I try to stay away from all kitchens.



At grandma and grandpa's, we played games, ate a great meal and then all the young folk took naps. This is the engaged couple during one of their many 'hand-checks'. Looks innocent enough

Kathryn always likes a good game of Zarahemla with Grandpa...Kathryn won this one.












The evening was spent at Rachel's home up in Ogden for dinner and Family Home Evening. Kathryn immediately hooked up with her favorite cousin Sarah and I hooked up with my wonderful sisters and parents. I had two brothers there also, Von and JD and their wives. In all, we had quite the turn out...

This is Kathryn with her cousin Austin - trampoline jumping and cow racing...did I really say cow racing? Yep!

Today, Monday, Kathryn and I went up to BYU campus where we went to the BYU bookstore and had a fun time watching some ballroom dance class, went to Cougar Eat and then just watched all the BYU students, mostly the boys, coming and going. Kathryn was quite impressed - even encouraged to get good enough grades to attend this wonderful university in the near future.
After campus, we went up to the University Mall where we went to the Deseret Bookstore, got Kathryn a book, ran into a RM from our Lindon Ward and then went over to Rebecca's house. We played games, gossiped and then had taco salad for dinner. We are also in the middle of planning a date for Jordan this weekend when he comes down from Idaho. He will quadruple date with some of his cousins and go with a really cute girl he has already met once while down here visiting Lyndon.
So overall, we have had a very eventful first few days. Lots of food, game playing and visiting with cousins, siblings and parents.
Tomorrow, all of us sisters are going out to lunch and then spending a few hours just gossipping our heads off. So fun - so needed. Girl talk...
