At the end of March we went to Powder Valley Conservation Center (I think that's what it's called) where they were having a bird night/activity. They had people showing their hawks and had some other fun activities for kids to do. Nathan was so brave and loved touching the hawk.
We also went to the Butterfly House with some friends while Josh was at school. They have a very humid, hot room that is filled with TONS of butterflies. They fly all around and sometimes will even land on you. It is so cool! It did actually make me a little nervous for summer though because the humidity was so not fun. I HATE humidity!! But we still had fun! 
Josh got to have a little fun and play on an ultimate frisbee team for a few weeks after school. We went to watch him a few times and Nathan had a lot of fun playing around in the car and pretending to drive while it was too cold and windy. We had fun watching dad too!
And now on to Easter! It was a little different because we weren't with family and we didn't do the traditional dye eggs, roll eggs, have a picnic and play in the dirt, but we still had fun. To start off with we took Nathan to see the Easter Bunny. He was so excited (even though the picture doesn't look like it) to see him!! If you ask me this easter bunny looks a little scary, but Nathan loved it. Saturday morning Nathan found his basket that the bunny brought for him, and had a lot of fun spreading the grass all over his bedroom. Then we were off to go on an egg hunt with a group from our ward. Of course Nathan loved it and wanted candy from his bucket all day long! The rest of the day we just hung out together at home while Josh studied. On Sunday we got together with some friends and had a yummy dinner and a way fun afternoon hanging out! (I tried to get a picture of Nathan on Sunday in his new little outfit but he really wouldn't let me. So we just got a family one and one of Josh and I. He looked so cute though!)
Now we are just trying to hold out for April 23rd when Josh will have his last final of the trimester and then he will have a two week break before he starts the summer trimester. We all can't wait to have lots of fun together as a family! We are planning on making a trip to Nauvoo, so if any of you are ready for a vacation come on out and join us!! We would love to have you!!

holy cow tina, you are SO pretty! i think that everytime i see a picture of you, but this time guess i thought i would tell you. :) i'm glad you are having fun out there! when you go to nauvoo you should stop in Hannibal (its right on the way) and do the mark twain stuff. you can go in some caves and ride a river boat, its kind of a fun little stop to make. i wish we could go back to Nauvoo! i love it there! Have a fun trip!
So fun. I don't know if Silas has emailed Josh lately, but we aren't going out to MO this summer. We're pretty sad about it, but it's just not going to work out. Silas is going to be talking summer classes and it's just crazy. Let us know about your Nauvoo trip though! I'm jealous!
What fun things you guys doing! I am glad you guys had a fun easter! I bet you guys are excited for a break..even though it sounds like it will be somewhat short! Have fun in Nauvoo..that is exciting!
