You might be asking...

 DO WE EVER GET ANY WORK DONE??

The Strattons came to visit for their spring break...drove 22 hours just to see us!!!  Well...and Arlington Cemetery....

 

and the Potomac River at Mount Vernon...you get the picture :)

 Cory and I decided it would be really cool to hit the Cherry Blossom Festival at sunrise.  So we got up and packed our family out the door by 6 a.m.  Do you see that beautiful sunrise??  Yeah, neither did we...overcast!  Despite that minor set-back, we had the best time together!

 For our Spring Break we went down to Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown.

 We also did Busche Garden's Theme Park with the Bairds while we were down there.  What a scream!!  I got to take Izzy, Ry, and Graf in my prego state and they couldn't have had more fun!  No lines in little Dino Land and I just requested they let the kids stay on the rides over and over and over.  No complaints there!

 I was surprised they let Graf on this one...he was too...not the happiest experience for him!

I wish I could have gotten some sound bites and shots of Lorin and Cory hitting the big-time rides!!  Adrenaline junkies at their best!! :)

 OK...so the work part...I put my pregnant self over the Forestville school talent show!  After months of detailed planning we pulled it off...IN OVER 4 HOURS.  According to the people who've lived here forever, that is normal.  It ended up being a fun show and the kids were proud of themselves!

 Lor (Ruffian), Izzy (Rapunzel), and Ry (Flynn Ryder) did "We've Got a Dream," from Tangled and I dare say it was the best talent of the night :) (proud mommy).  They sang out loud and clear, added lots of fun actions, and looked adorable all costumed up!  Each of them had a solo that went along to a soundtrack--it took a good 3 weeks of practicing regularly to get the timing down.  It was great to see them nail it after their hard work!

Some Spring Fun

 Cory turned 35 this year!!  Of course he is talking about breaking a hip any day now and every ache or pain that comes his way he is blaming on his old age.  I continue to stroke his ego by reminding him he's never looked better :)

 Cory took the 3 girls camping...which means I was left behind...something I don't care to be.  Thankfully I had my 2 little buddies to keep me company.  OK, so one of them is still en utero.  But for the amount of kicking he does, I think I can count him too :)

 

The whole family spoiled me on Mother's Day including breakfast in bed (complete with blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries...my favorite!).  Then Izzy and Ryan gave me a massage...Graf tried to help which included getting lotion all over the place!  I loved it!  DOCUMENTED:  Me, 8 months prego with #5.

 Here's the camping escapade I joined in on at Bear's Den with a bunch of ward friends.  Izzy showing her goof-ball personality here...faking exhaustion for the camera.

 Lorin and Brook Baird!

 We have had lots of visitors living so close to VA.  The Leavitt's came and treated our kids like their best friends.  We loved it!!

 The zoo is always a hit!  Apparently it's best when I'm just about ready to have a baby (like the day before I had Graf).
