The Braegger Family Blog

I dropped the ball as far as April Fools tricks, but Faith managed some pretty sweet artwork on her brother as he slept!

Tony was on vacation from work and the kids were out of school on spring break, so on April 2nd we headed to Dalt Lake and made a stop by our favorite candy factory.

The kids glazed pottery about five years ago and have been begging to do it again ever since, so we took them to Color Me Mine. Faith made a rainbow mug which read "I 💜 my yorkie" and Christian made a pirate cup.

Afterward, we had dinner at Chuck-a-rama.

Here is a drawing Faith made awhile ago of Cinderella's castle. Amazing!

On the 3rd we enjoyed a festival of grilled meats at Tucanos. Buddy managed to out-eat us yet again! And he didn't pass up the chicken hearts, either.

And we hung out at the planetarium!

The morning of the 4th was the neighborhood Easter hunt. This year it was held at the church.

Tony and I had spent many hours cleaning out the basement, so we borrowed a trailer and hauled a bunch of stuff to the dumps and the D.I.

That afternoon was the Braegger Easter party.

Little Liam & Riley were so cute!

We came home and colored eggs late into the night.

On Easter morning, the kids were excited to find baskets of candy and new kites!

I made a huge Easter/Conference breakfast buffet featuring bacon, sausage, deviled eggs, hash browns, omelettes, and Mickey waffles!!

Tony even made Skittles her own plate.

In between sessions, we enjoyed the kites at the park.

After conference, we had Easter dinner and a hunt at Peterson's.

Faith changed her Facebook profile and the picture was so cute.

I finally took her get well cards off the wall. She got some really sweet ones from school,

her friends,

(Rage Rinehart drew the darling picture of her!)

and her fellow Beehives.

Buddy made these at school:

Faith painted this pup with water colors.

And Bud made these:

Here are the kids' soccer games on the 11th.

Tony helped Bud make his first pinewood derby car on the 13th.

On the 15th we had a big snowstorm and skittles had to peep in the snow!

April 16th was the pinewood Derby!

Christian's car was not the fastest, but he still got an award and a certificate :)

The 18th was the kids' spring piano recital, and they both did marvelous jobs!

Afterward, we had some fun at Lagoon with Joy and her kids while Jordon was on a business trip.

On the 19th Tony took the family shooting at the bountiful gun range and it was the first time the kids got to shoot their shotguns.

Faith wasn't holding hers tight enough against her shoulder, so the kickback really bruised her arm and made her cry. But she was brave enough to give it another go at the end of our time there!

On the 21st I went to training for a new position I was offered with JetBlue. I am now a Blue Buddy! I still mostly work me regular reservations shifts, but get to pick up some shifts where I take calls from new hires who have questions or need help. I really enjoy it!

My training class was a great group and I loved that it was taught by Claudia Stevenson who was my original trainer three years ago.

Mom & dad came to Christian's soccer game on the 25th.

They came to Faith's later that day, but left at the very beginning because the wind picked up and the clouds looked very threatening. It started to downpour after they had only played one quarter. We thought they would call it, but they made the girls play for another 30 minutes in freezing rain! Christian, Skittles and I watched from the car, but Tony took our Yorkie umbrella and held it for himself and Coach Sabin. Tony mentioned that it wasn't the manliest umbrella, but Coach said at that point he didn't care!
