HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY ETHAN!!

Happy Birthday Ethan!! We celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday last week! I cant believe he is already 4!! Ethan has quite the little personality! He can be very stubborn at times but that is what makes him Ethan!! Lately he has been into Looney Tunes, so for his birthday he wanted Looney Tunes decorations, and a Bugs Bunny cake. I printed Looney Tunes characters off of the internet and decorated the cupboards with them. I had a lady make his Bugs Bunny cake and it turned out way cute and way yummy! He got some Looney Tunes dvds, clothes, walkie talkies, dump truck, bubble wand, bobcat, transformer, money, play money, ball, light saver, etc... It was quite humorous he opened his walkie talkies and we told them what they were and he said, "I want to play with the talkie talkies!" We went to see Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs on his birthday and the kids loved it, it was a very cute show. The next day we celebrated Ethan and Jayden's birthday at my mom's house. We went swimming, had cake and icecream, and gots lots of candy from the pinata! I think that Ethan had an awesome birthday! Thank you Grandma for all of the toys, clothes, and for coming over for dinner and going with us to see Ice Age! Thank you Aunt Trish for calling him on his birthday, thank you Aunt Natalie for the candy and card, thank you cousin Larry, Natalie and kids for the trasformer, thank you Jordan and Uncle Alma for the bobcat and thank you Aunt Becky for the candle. He really enjoyed all of the gifts! Ethan I hope that you had a great birthday, you have been a real joy and blessing to have in our home, we love you lots!

SATURDAY BRIDAL VEIL FALLS!

On Saturday we went up to Bridal Veil Falls. It was beautiful! The water coming down the rocks was gorgeous! We then went up past Sundance to have a picnic lunch with everyone! We were having a great time visiting one another when suddenly we all got booted out of the area where we were eating and chatting! We didn't know that we were in someones reserved camping area and we got tickets for parking there and eating! That was pretty hectic! Other than that little downfall we had a great time up there. I recommend going to the falls if you have never been they are beautiful! The kids were throwing rocks in the water and it was really cold water!

FRIDAY MUSUEM AND BOWLING!

On Friday we met up with Jason's family and went to the Arts Musuem where they were featuring the I Spy art. It was awesome to see how the artist does the pictures and puts them into books. He builds a miniature model of every picture and then he takes pictures of them for the books and it was really neat to see them! Sorry we didnt get any pictures of that cause we werent allowed to take pictures. We got some I Spy books before we left and the kids have had alot of fun with them especially Alexia. After going to the musuem we went bowling. I havent been bowling forever! My highest score in the past was 10! Yes you are reading that number right it is the number 10! So we decided to get bumper lanes with Alexia bowling, and let me just say that for a while there she was beating me! My score came out to be 95 and Jason's and Alexia's score was 94! That just goes to show you how pathetic I am at bowling! We got some really cute pics of Jason's grandpa bowling! We were celebrating his 90th and having a little family reunion to celebrate it with!

ZOO!!

Last Thursday we went up to Utah for another family reunion, this reunion was for Jason's side of the family. We stayed with Tricia on Wednesday night and on Thursday we went to the zoo with Tricia, Teancum, Tarren, and Makenzey to the zoo. The kids had a blast! Ethan wanted to see the snakes, don't ask me why, he is scared of snakes but he wanted to see them. We watched the elephant show and the bird show. The kids got a few souvenirs and we had lots of fun! Thanks Trish for letting us stay with you and thanks for the all of your help at the zoo. When we left after lunch the kids were crying and wanting to go back and stay with Aunt Tricia! We took some pictures of some of the things that we saw at the zoo. We got to see the animals of Madagascar while we were there and that was pretty neat! Once again thanks Trish for everything we had a great time and the kids miss you lots!

FAMILY REUNION 1

I thought I would update our blog, we have had alot going on this past week and a half. We went to a reunion on my mom's side a couple of weeks ago in Pine Valley. It was beautiful up there and the kids had a blast playing up there. We took quite a few pictures of the kids, but I will only post a few.
