March In Review

Maybe one day I will be on top of blogging enough to do posts about specific events rather than periodic marathon posts. But today is not that day. So here goes the March in Review marathon post! I love March because it is my birthday month. I know you have no control over when your birthday is, but if you could pick March is a wonderful birthday month. It is a long month when just about nothing else is happening. Perfect time for a birthday! We celebrated this year very similar to last year by going to my favorite Provo restaurant - Bombay House!

 Mike, Wade, Nate, Scott, Me, Emily & Richard at Bombay House.

This is one of those pictures where we had a stranger take it and 

even though it didn't turn out great we felt too inconvenient to ask them to take another.

 Emily made me an awesome gluten-free cake! Yellow cake with coconut is my favorite.

 Scott thought it was his birthday again. He was THRILLED about singing happy birthday and eating cake!

 With our siblings! So fun we can all be in Provo at the same time.

 My favorite little boy!

 Nate also invited Caroline and Ellen and their husbands over for cake after dinner! It was so fun to see them on my actual birthday. 

That night Emily and Richard put Scott to bed so Nate and I could catch a movie. It was perfect. 

I felt so loved by friends near and far and had a great birthday!

 This month it also finally started to warm up! Scott got a scooter for Christmas, but it has been too cold for him to learn. 

We took him to the park one day to ride it and he did great!

It was cute to watch him get really focused on trying to ride it. He picked it up pretty quick!

Riding with Daddy!

 We ended the scooter ride by playing at the park!

 Such a maniac, this one...

 Other things of note in March included: lots of bringing dinner to Nate at his office. I haven't seen Nate during the week for almost a month now because things have been so busy at their office. But we always have fun visiting!

 Hanging out with Broc and Phil when they were in town!

 Wade got his mission call to the Brazil Fortaleza Mission! We are so excited for him!

Aaron's birthday is in March too, so we all went up to Benihana one night to use our birthday certificates. So fun! Except Scott had a meltdown because he was getting sick. Poor guy (let's be honest public meltdowns = poor Nate and I too). We didn't know he was getting sick until we got him home and he had a fever of 103!

 

We had a little Easter Egg hunt with our playgroup the Friday before Easter. Scott loved it!

 He kept yelling "Eggs where are you?!"

 I had a girls night with Caroline and Ellen while Nate took Scott up to a soccer game with some friends.

We all brought things to eat dinner together (I brought these fajitas), then went up to the Traverse Outlet Mall. 

We ended the night with strawberries and hot fudge at Ellen's. You always know it's a good girls night when you laugh so hard you cry. 

This past Saturday we took Scott to the BYU Easter Egg Hunt. It was INSANE. I was highly suspicious any free children's activity in Provo would attract huge crowds, but this surpassed my expectations. We let Scott get 2 eggs, then got out so he wouldn't get trampled! He didn't know any different though and was excited about getting M&M's in his eggs.

 Easter morning!

On Easter we had some family over for dinner. I love Easter. 

The weather was warm and it was a beautiful day. A perfect reminder of the new hope and joy the Savior's sacrifice brings for us.

My Easter boys!

Thus concludes our month of March!
