Supercross

Bill and the older kids headed to Utah to stay at Uncle Chris' house and go the the Supercross motorcycle race in SCL, Ut. I stayed home with Makayla knowing she probably wouldn't enjoy all the loud motorcylcles, and it also meant a little time alone for me and Makayla. This has become an annual thing, and I am sure it will continue to be. The kids had a lot of fun going to Utah to see there cousins and also going to the race.

Dying Easter Eggs

The kids really wanted to dye Easter Eggs, but we didn't have time to do it before Easter because all of my family was here and we had sooooo many other things planned.  So, I decided to let them do it the day after Easter instead. They really look forward to this every year, and they have a lot of fun doing it. Makayla was too young (14 months) to dye the eggs, but she sure had a lot of fun this month playing with all the plastic eggs on the floor. It helped her a lot with tummy time, and trying to get her to crawl.

Easter Morning

This year we had Hallie and Katelyn with us Easter Moring.  They had a sleepover at our house the night before, because they had spent the whole week at Lora and Justin's. The kids were excited to have them at our house in the morning before they had to head home. Grandpa and Grandma Hughes were also here and went to church with us before they had to head home.

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday morning our family had two Easter Egg Hunts.  One was at our church after a light breakfast (muffins and bananas), and the other one was at 11:00 at Aunt Lora's house in her backyard with all the cousins.  It was SUPER fun. All the kids got to find like 20-25 eggs, and a few of the eggs had money in them. What a fun time!

More Motorcycle Riding...

MOTORCYCLE TIME!!

The Hughes family can not get together an NOT ride motorcycles! There were two days of riding. The first day was a family ride and every kid had a motorcycle to ride. It was so much fun!!

 

 

Pine Wood Derby

Shane had his pack meeting for scouts Tuesday evening when everyone was here. They all came to watch and support Shane as he raced his pine wood derby car. He made his car in the shape of a shark, and did a wonderful job painting it! He even had blood coming out of the shark's mouth.  He got the idea from his cousin Caleb who had made his car like a shark too. His car got 1st place in every race it was in, but got 4th overall because of the times recorded. He was very excited his car did so good and even more excited that everyone would come and watch his car race.

Swimming at Aunt Jenny's Hotel

Jenny and Tony got a hotel here in Boise because Tony had some meetings for work he had to go to. While he was working we were having fun and playing. We got to go swimming at their hotel two or three times during the week. The kids had a lot of fun!

Motorcycle Riding

This week my older sister, Jenny, and her family came to Boise for a week. So, when the rest of the family heard she was coming everyone headed to Boise! What a party!! We went swimming, visited the zoo, went motorcycle riding, ate out, more swimming, sleep overs, cousin time, baseball games, football games, pine wood derby, Easter egg hunt, and more. We had a really fun week! The day before Jenny got here, my parents came, so my dad, Bill, and Justin could go ride motorcycles. They took the kids out with them, and they all had a lot of fun!

Linda's 35th Birthday- April 10,2011

This year my birthday fell on a Sunday.  So, for my birthday we woke up and went to church. After church I had a YW meeting, and then in the afternoon we had my birthday party. We had Lora, Justin, and their kids come over and my best friend Kristy Rowberry Martin and her family come over.  It was a lot of fun! The kids were soooo excited to show me all the stuff they made and got me.  Kristy brought her accordian with her and played happy birthday and sang to me. It was so fun for my kids to see. They loved it. She did that last year for my birthday, and they were hoping she would do it again.  After we opened my presents we had chocolat pie, cupcakes, and icecream. It was very yummy! I had a wonderful day!

McCall Trip

We decided to take a little vacation over general conference weekend to McCall Idaho.  We left Friday April 1st and came home Sunday,April 3rd.  When we got to McCall there was a ton of snow, and it snowed most of the time we were there.  Thank goodness we got a hotel with an indoor swimming pool!  That is what the kids did a majority of the time we were there.  We would eat breakfast, they would swim, then we would go eat lunch and then they would swim, and then we would eat dinner and then they would swim until bedtime.  They had a blast, and Bill and I enjoyed the relaxation time. Samantha took a few pictures with her camera to capture some of our trip! Although most of them are pictures from our car that didn't turn out. Oh well!!!
