We had a great visit from Marmie and Grandpa and had a fun time playing with cousins while they were here. The Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point is always a hit.
We are adjusting to 3 kids and being back to work. I went back April 4 and it seemed like the month of March went waaayyy too fast. I did have a few things with the bank and contractor that I jumped in on during my leave for the Freeze Dry expansion at work, but mostly enjoyed time with our sweet little family and visiting extended family. My boss emailed me a week after Tad was born and said he wouldn't let me touch my PTO for maternity leave and to just enjoy the time off with Tad. They have always been really supportive of our family and he was working at least 80 hours a week while I was gone to try and manage the addition on his own. I took Tad to work with me the first week of April to show him off and he passed out in my office for a couple of hours.
We started putting him in 6-month onesies at 6 weeks old because he's soooo long!
I forgot to mention in March that Kyle went to our local caucus meeting and came back nominated as the new Orem Precinct Secretary/Treasurer and as a State Delegate! He's been going to lots of local / state political meetings and conventions, trainings, etc. And isn't he the cutest Dad?
Alexa and I made this fun skirt together so she had to show it off--
And the YW in our ward made Tad this darling baby quilt.
We celebrated Granny's 100th birthday without her, but thought of her all day. I asked the local Sweenys if they wanted to join us at Texas Roadhouse for dinner, which I would like to make an annual tradition. When we talked about Granny, Tyler said he thinks she is "being silly and laughing a lot" in heaven and Alexa said she's "probably playing games." Sounds about right. Sure do love our Granny.
Kyle and I decided that it would be fun to celebrate the birthdays of any family members who have passed away by eating their favorite meal on their birthday. We started doing that with Ben by always having BBQ on January 5, and now Texas Roadhouse for Granny on April 6. We need to figure out the favorite meals of our other grandparents and add them into the mix. Definitely some ice cream for Grandpa Ludlow.

We're grateful for the beautiful weather we've had lately and the fun neighbors and friends who live so close. Alexa and Tyler have been playing outside at the park with friends any spare moment they can find.
Fun quotes from this month:
Alexa: When is Dad going to President? I want to live in the big white house in a big white room.
Me: Who is your favorite babysitter?
Tyler: Hmm, probably Alexa.
Trying to teach Alexa about manners...
Alexa: That person is big and fat.
Me: That's not nice to say. She could be sick or have owies that make her bigger than you.
Alexa: Or maybe she just ate a lot of food.
Tyler: That sunset is really handsome.
