March Madness but not the Basketball kind...

March was a beautiful and busy month doing good and fun things!

Ryan and I started off the month "Scouting for food!"

Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts go door to door to collect food to donate to the local food banks.

The boys end up having fun along the way and I think they see the good they are doing too.

All the participants from our Pack!

It was pretty funny when a man who didn't speak English donated his recycling bottles.

Due to hurrying off to a Primary Activity and getting Ryan to his baseball practice, we missed the drop off for our pack, so we counted all the cans my van collected, re-bagged them and took them to the Salt Mine Food Bank.  It was great to involve my boys with that part too!

We enjoyed the sheep on some morning walks.

Baseball began and the boys play during the games.

To sell our raffle tickets...each boy sells 10 $5 tickets to earn $50 for the league...so three boys = $150.
We went up into Sun City and sold all of our tickets to cute older people who loved seeing our boys in their uniforms!  We found a golfer statue at this house that was just Kyle's size!

Cade and I had fun at the Mall play place one morning Kyle was at Preschool.

And our ward had a talent Show...I made up words to Parody "Farmer Style"...which is a parody of "Gangam Style"...it was pretty fun...and Ryan did great!

We took the boys to the Temple on Sunday evening to take pictures of Sean...Baptism year!

Kyle worked on this cute robot at Preschool...for quite a while.  He was so excited and proud of his robot!

I made team pennants for Opening Day!

Opening day was gorgeous!  No rain...it had been rained out two years in a row.

 Scott with his team...they are a good team...Talented players but good boys too.  Nice families too.

Yay...Sean's friend's mom made their pennants!  She did great!

 And bounce houses after are always a hit...but ours mostly did the bouncy slide...flipping from the top...the obstacle course and the pitching zone.  Cade was even nervous in the bounce house...though he loves our trampoline!

I came home with the little boys and these boys stayed to watch a Majors game...and came home with painted faces!

And Kyle got to go to his friend's "BIKE PARTY"...it was so well done!

Cute party for these kiddos!

She found a guy on Craigslist who was selling his BMX trophies...he's some professional guy!  Then she spray painted them and all the kids got to choose one.  It was really cute!

And feeding the ducks and geese was fun....Sean was throwing his bread balls over the muck in the pond so the ducks could actually eat it!

And they rode bikes around the pond ...this is Kyle's bike across the pond with a balloon tied to his bike.

Crazy face painting from baseball opening day.

St Patricks Day breakfast!

And our traditional dinner Jello!

Reading books to my boys is always my favorite...and this little body isn't going to fit on my lap the same for very long!  

Just cute.

Cousins chillin.

And making Spring sugar cookies with these kids was fun and went really well...having three adults to hover helped a ton!

And why would you not be happy with this?

And I love that spring time around here brings us sheep!

And we live close enough to the country to enjoy wild turkeys roaming free!

* We went to Yosemite ,...lots more to come on that!

Cade's skeleton jammies are some of our favorites!  They glow in the dark and we always try to get him to dance in the dark for us..."Dancing Bones" is what we call it!  He gets nervous though when we  hold him up high to charge the bones by the lights so he doesn't always comply.

And here is the first Easter with Atherly cousins...and Smart cousins were in town too!  The kiddos were excited to do an egg hunt with the cousins!

And that ended our March...with Yosemite in there too!  Life is so full, we run from one thing to the next but we enjoy it all.
