Spring Break and Off to the Races!

Last week was Trey's Spring break. We stuck around town. We all went to a Spring training game on Tuesday and got burnt, well at least I did! The boys did have fun and Trey got a ball from a player. Mark took the boys and 3 cousins to see Diary of the Wimpy Kid movie on Friday. It was crowded but they got good seats and enjoyed the show. Trey has read all the books now and is re-reading them.
We did bring the boat down and the boys went out with Mark and some family. He said the lake was at full capacity and there was a lot of debris from all the rain. On Saturday we went to Mesa to celebrate my grandparents birthdays. We had a yummy cookout and then hung out the rest of the day.
Last night was Trey's Pine Wood Derby...he was so well behaved and excited. The boys were all yelling and running around the gym and Trey was sitting quietly. My guess he just didn't want to miss his car racing! The guy who runs the meetings is a little hyper and loud himself.
They do the races for fun to eliminate any competition or hurt feelings. They got an award with their average speed and candy. Trey's car did win every heat it was in :)
Luckily a man in the ward cut and sanded all the boy's cars. All that had to do was trace the outline on their car. He did an amazing job! Mark said it definitely would not have been as nice if he did it :)

Aloha

Mark attempted to take the boys to a Spring training game on Friday but they got stuck in traffic and at that point to pay to get in so late was a waste and all the starting players would be gone. He took them to Westgate and got ice cream instead.
Saturday was the Aloha festival in Tempe. The food was great and the weather was perfect. We got Kalua pig, Malasadas and POG shaved ice. A little reminiscent of our trip to Maui, just missing the beautiful ocean...Tempe Town Lake just doesn't cut it :)
The lake is really full because of all the rain so we did get the watch the overflow at the dam. We walked by the Tempe Art Center which is a beautiful building and they have a negative edge water feature. The boys loved watching and touching it. Trey did go to a performance there this year for school.
We will be picking up our boat soon from Mark's parent's house. My brother in laws parents bought a winter house out here, so now we will be able to store it in a garage for free! I have a feeling it is not going to be fun trying to get it into a three car garage at an angle...we will see.

Baseball

We went to 2 baseball fanfest's recently. Although Trey hasn't played in a while, they both still enjoyed all the activities.
Last weekend Alyssa and Emily came up for a couple days. My boys LOVE having visitors! They went to a fanfest with us also and then we did a little shopping at H&M and then headed over to Dan and Crystal's for Alex's b-day party.
Trey is still doing great in school and loving reading. He is working on his pine wood car for scouts.
Coby is still loving being at home with mom and running errands. He will go for a car ride and errand anytime! He is also enjoying playing with some cousins one morning a week that I started watching.
Mark and I have decided to use our Delta points for a trip to NYC. We will go the end of May after Trey is done with school. Both grandma's will take turns watching them...we are lucky to have them both close.
