So I've been getting complaints that I need to update my blog more than once a month (mainly from my cute sister), so here's what's been going on with us the first half of April. And Lillian, I promise I will try to update more often from now on.
The kids built a tent and watched General Conference "King Benjamin-style". They loved it, and actually listened as they played Conference Bingo:
The first week in April was Spring Break. As you may recall, that was when Justin and I were supposed to be in Japan, so we had absolutely no plans. So I put the kids to work with some spring cleaning:
Doesn't Siena make the perfect Cinderella?
But it seemed cruel to be cleaning the whole break, so Justin let each of them spend a day with him at work. Brighton went one day (sorry, no pictures of that), and then Chelsea and Siena went with him on another day. He even took the girls to visit great-grandpa Yarn after lunch:
London has been battling one sickness after another the last couple of weeks. First it was a bad cold and ear infection, and then fifths disease. Being a mother of four I thought I had experienced everything, but I had never even heard of fifths! It was pretty sad. But despite not being her usual cheery self, she was still such a pleasant baby:
Brighton has gotten more and more into Legos lately. I complain that I can't vacuum his room as often as I'd like, but I love that he is so creative and imaginative. This is pretty much what his room looks like all of the time:
We just keep his door closed so that London doesn't get into them
I took Chelsea to see our local theater's production of "Annie". She loves the movie, and loved the show just as much. I had to keep her from singing along to all of the songs out loud, but it was just adorable how much she enjoyed herself:
I ran the Salt Lake Half Marathon, and it was awesome! It's taken me a while to get back into running since being pregnant and having London, and I forgot how much I love it. It helps to have a great running buddy, too:
Justin went to Palm Springs for the Coachella music festival with some friends. We miss him when he's gone, but I love that he gets to be immersed in his music nerdiness once or twice a year:
Our kids LOVE the beard. I think he grew it to blend in with the crowd
And that's our first half of April in a nutshell. Busy and fun.

I miss your blog updates too, and am glad Lillian was vocal about it. I am amazed that you ran a half marathon, Lisa! I have been exercising pretty regularly for a year now, and still think I am going to die if I try to run for 20 minutes. Seriously amazing! Way to go. Miss you all -- so sorry your Japan trip didn't work out. Can't wait to see you guys this summer.
You have had a busy month! Sorry to hear about London, I have never heard of that ether. I hope things calm down for you and all the sick bugs soon.
Yay a new post! It's nice to have pictures to go with all of the phone call updates I get from you:) Good job on the race, you're such an inspiration. Miss you guys so so much! I really wish we lived closer. Lisa, you're looking amazing, by the way.
