The Smith Smiles: March-April

I've slacked a little on my posts....so this one will be a quick catch up.

The girls had spring break the last week of March. We took the kids to my parents so they could spend spring break with Grandpa and Grandma Knowlton. While in Idaho we had good friends from Boise who were on their way to Couer d'Alene so we convinced them to make a stop in Winchester. We got them a hotel room at the "Mini-Motel". It was definitely mini! We met them at a nice little establishment called Syl's Saloon. We were able to visit a little and catch up on each other's lives. We were also able to do a little people watching... The next morning they came out to the homestead for some home cooked breakfast. It was a great short weekend. Pictures too follow!

While the kids were with Grandpa and Grandma Dan and I took our own little vacation to Las Vegas! We met up with my cousin's and we had such a great time! We relaxed and kind of just hung out. We did make it out to a little place called Red Rock National Conservation. It was a really neat little drive and we even got out and hiked up to a little waterfall. It really wasn't much of a hike but nice to say we kind of got some excercise! We gambled a little and drank a little and laughed a lot! Fun fun weekend!

Kalei has started t-ball and soccer. We've had one t-ball practice and today was our first soccer game! So far she seems to really like them both.....but I think soccer is going to be more fun. She was able to keep right in the pack with the kids and even kicked the ball once! Soccer with 5 year olds is quite entertaining. They don't keep score and the kids kind of all just run in a pack trying to kick the ball. BUT Hey....at least she wasn't picking dandelions....yet!
