Grandma B's Spring Break

We started our Spring break a little early with a visit from Grandma B! She came last Tuesday night and stayed with us until Saturday morning. It was great fun! We spent Wednesday afternoon going to lunch with Auntie B for her birthday at the Lion House and wandering around Temple Square for a bit. We also stopped at the new Deseret Book flagship store. When we were all tired and ready for naps we headed to the airport to pick up Uncle Brad from his Washington trip. It was fun to have visitors. Uncle Brad didn't stay long before getting in his car and driving home to Idaho, but we enjoyed seeing him.
Wednesday evening my mom and I went to my ward's Relief Society birthday celebration. Yes, they are about a month late with it, but seeing as how they didn't manage to pull anything together last year I was still excited. It was a really nice program about Emma Smith. I was glad we went. We went to bed early since we stayed up way too late on Tuesday night.

Thursday was kind of our down day. The boys both went to preschool while Mom and I shopped for Easter at Target and picked up Kneader's for lunch. We came home and had our lunch picnic style while we watched Tangled. It was fun to just relax at home. That night Ian and I went on a date. We went bowling, then ate dinner at a new Indian restaurant. We ended the night with big excitement! We went to Golden Spoon! You heard right . . . Golden Spoon in Utah. I got an email from citydeals (a deal website) that had Golden Spoon listed with an offer. I clicked on it and discovered there are two locations, Orem and Draper. We went to the Draper one. It was delicious. I am so excited to know I can get my Golden Spoon fix when I really need it without having to plan a trip to CA! Anyway, it was a fun night out and we brought back GS for our awesome babysitter. :)
Friday was an all day fun day. Davin had his 3 year old well visit and Talia had her 4 month well visit at the doctor's. It was nice having Mom there to help out, but with the 5 of us and Dr. Sally and a PA student who was shadowing her, the room was a little crowded.

Davin's ear tubes are still in, but the doctor pulled a ton of wax out of his little ears. He is smart and healthy in every way. He had to get one shot and he was pretty brave. He cried for a minute, but then calmed down and was happy as a clam to get a Batman sticker on our way out. Davin is growing well on his own little curve underneath the regular growth curve.
Davin's 3 Year Old Stats:
Height: 35 inches
Weight: 26 pounds
***The percentiles don't apply to our munchkin.

Talia is doing great too. Nothing to report. She is going to be another small Bowles child though. She also got a few immunization shots. She was a champ (much like her brother Weston). There were a couple screams and a couple tears then she was fine. She sucked down a bottle and fell asleep.
Talia's 4 Month Old Stats:
Height: 24 inches (75th% I don't imagine this will last long)
Weight: 11 lbs. 8 oz. (10th%)
Head: 32 cm (can't remember the %)

After the doctor's office we headed out to lunch as a little reward for good behavior at the pediatrician's. The kids picked McDonald's, of course, so they played while Mom and I ate and visited. After lunch we kind of last minute decided to go see Hop. I was a little worried about how Talia would do, but she was fine. She didn't cry at all. She didn't sleep or eat either. Just watched the movie or chilled in her carseat/on our laps. The boys loved getting their little kid packs of popcorn, candy, and juice. The movie was pretty cute and got the boys all excited for Easter this weekend. Thanks Grandma!

Friday night was girl's night. Mom and I shopped. We went to Office Max, Payless, Michael's, Kohl's, and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We got some good deals, some cute things, and some yummy caramel apples. Ian missed us though, so we didn't stay out too late. Saturday morning we quickly did a little re-decorating in Talia's room. The wall hanging my mom cross stitched for her needed a little garnishing and I wanted to display the cute sign I ordered for the bookshelf. I love it! I was sad to say goodbye to my mom, but we did have a fun visit and we will see her again in a few months.
This week is the boys' official Spring Break, but unfortunately the weather forecast shows rain most of the week. Today we managed to make it out to the library, but that's about it. I have some fun outings planned for the rest of the week, but I guess we will just have to wait and see if the weather cooperates. We are all enjoying the break from routine and are looking forward to a fun Easter weekend!
