Sarah's Loses a Tooth

Friday, April 6

Sarah had a couple of lose teeth for a few weeks now!  When we got home from Provo she wanted me to pull one out!  It was really loose!  She was so excited to be the first of the kids in the family to lose a tooth while in Kindergarten!  She looks cute with her toothless smile!

Provo

Thursday & Friday, April 5 & 6
One of the things on the kids' list was to visit their cousins in Herriman.  Thursday morning we went to Herriman and they played with their cousins.  Then we headed to Orem and checked into our hotel and went swimming.  Then we went to Payson to visit Grandma and Grandpa Madsen!

Friday morning we woke up to snow!  We had breakfast, then we headed to the Museum of Paleontology at BYU!  Marilyn and the boys met us there!


It is a small museum, but very interesting.  I let them all pick a place to pose for a picture!
Eli just being cute!
They enjoyed watching the students work!

We went to the new City Creek Center!  It was busy, but we had fun!  We checked out the Disney Store and then just walked around!

Dad won our March Madness Brackets this year so he chose to eat at the Lion House Pantry!  It was delicious!
