Keystone & Cousins

We had a mostly good week getting back into routine! Construction plus Spring Break at home was kind of just some wild and crazy times, but it felt good to get back to school and macros and playgroups and soccer and just the things that feel like a good rhythm around here.

Westin and Bennett started soccer this week, Westin had a super adorable third grade music program, Michael had a Reading Rainbros night where they watched Women Talking, we had the missionaries over on Friday, and Sunday was just hard. Why do Sundays so often seem like they have a target on their back... we'll try again next week.

This weekend we made a quick day trip to Keystone to see Diana's family from North Carolina while they were here to ski for their Spring Break. First we stopped at our new little (huge) piece of Texas, Buc-ee's! Haha the boys loved it and it was pretty impressive. Breakfast burritos all around plus Beaver Nuggets for the road to share with cousins. Then we went to the condo and immediately hit the pool. We spontaneously decided to go skiing while there because Diana was nice enough to let me borrow her gear and Westin borrowed his cousin's and Danny gave us both a little lesson. Westin did his first trips down the bunny hill and that was so good for him! I haven't been skiing in 18 years but I was happy to feel like I feel the same as last time I went. Which is by no means great but give me a green hill and I'll make it down alive haha. Sometimes it feels like I never know what will feel completely different post-babies. I was convinced I'd now be sick on roller coasters and hate them but I actually feel just fine on them still. But sometimes I see a core exercise in our workouts and think they're going to be no big thing only to learn I cannot do the exercise AT ALL when I try. So, happy to have my first post-kids ski trip down :)

Then we had a late night home and a laid back Sunday. Being with cousins is making us so excited for reunions this summer!

Strawberries in the sunshine with Camden.
This was my favorite five minutes of my day.

Luna has gone from absolute crazy to pretty good to good to great to really great. 
Such a sweetheart.

I can't get enough of these at Costco.
Word on the street is that they're going away,
I need to go buy them out.

Ready for that musical!
He told me he refuses to sing but I have a feeling he'll change his mind with a little peer pressure :)

Their music program is so cute.
They sang such fun songs with so much cute choreography.

I'm the fun mom that takes you for free Rita's for the first day of Spring!
I'm the scattered mom that takes you the day AFTER that promo happened! 
Whoops :)
We got some anyway and then went to daddy's work to share with him since he had to go straight to a dinner with reps that night. Too many dinners lately!

First deep clean for my grandma's piano in probably its life.
It was so fun to see all the dust go away and all the keys get cleaned and everything.
Especially after all the floor construction around it.

Our piano tuner is such a sweet grandpa. He likes showing the kids the inside of how things work.

First time to Buc-ees!

Breakfast burritos at Buc-ee's before Keystone. I think we'll stop here before and after many road trips :)

Cousin time! This was just before we spontaneously decided to go do a quick ski lesson for Westin and me.

These cousins look like brothers to me.

Successful ski days for the beginners! We really tackled that bunny hill :)
