Stephs & Jacksons Birthday

We celebrated Stephanie & Jacksons birthdays a month early. Stephs is April 21st & Jacksons is April 26th. We are out of towners so it was fun to celebrate with the family. We went to kangaroo zoo (yes, again) & then it was time for cake & ice cream. The kids could stay & play at the kangaroo zoo for hours. It was a fun night had by all!




Two of my brothers Caleb & Brooks, I really do have great brothers.

Easter Egg Hunt

Yes, this would be our son, stubbornly sitting amongst the easter eggs while all the other kids are picking them up. We went to the Cedar Hills City Easter Egg Hunt in Utah & all the rumors about crazy parents, way too many people etc. are true! I may be one of those crazy parents. Hunter was so excited when he saw all of the easter eggs, but we had to wait 10 minutes, which apparently is a long time for him, all the other kids seemed to be patient, but he couldn't resist. There was a big circle taped off filled with all the eggs & he jumped right in, I pulled him out & that set him off, so when it was time & the whistle blew he just sat down, would not move, or pick up a single egg even with excited encouragement from his mother. I put a stuffed snoopy in his bucket & he threw it out, grandpa thought this was all pretty funny, I was not impressed, but at the very end when all the kids cleared he found a candy cane stick on the ground, picked it up, said "Good Job" & was happy the rest of the day!???

Loving the Trampoline

Hunter has spent most of his time jumping on the trampoline, he can't get enough. He loves spending time with his cousins- Skylar, Trey, Austin & Stephanie.




Hunter is not a shopper, never has been. He was getting pretty bored at the Quilted Bear Boutique & decided to crash.

We miss you Dad!

Dad,
We miss you too much! We are having fun getting to know our "Gwama's & Gwampa's" and playing with our cousins, they are a lot of fun! Here are some fun things we've been up to. We love you & will see you soon!
Love, Hunter & Jackson

Swimming

Our first time to the Legacy recreation center in Lehi, Utah was another big hit. The slides were a hit along with the warm temperature of the pool, Jackson loved it!

The Kangaroo Zoo

Some may think this would be a zoo w/a bunch of kangaroos (I won't mention any names:) but, the boys hit the jackpot with this place! Several different bounce houses & slides, definately a favorite.

Having fun in Utah

Daylight savings sure was rough!

The Dinosaur Museum cont.

Hunter loved digging for dinosaur bones.

Here you put on a blue smock & can play in the sand & water with plastic dinosaurs.

This was amazing for a 2 year old! "What a BIG shark!"

L.A.

Ted travels to L.A. every 6 weeks give or take. He had to make a quick trip & we like to tag along. He stays at the Embassy Suites, they have an atrium, with fish & little waterfalls, Hunter loves it. Ted went into work Monday @ 2am (He normally does not do this, it was just this trip, he had to be in at the equipments down time.) He came back to the hotel around 1pm with the car. He had to go back again @ 11pm that evening, so he needed to sleep. We've been to L.A. quite a few times w/him & there are alot of fun things to do. But this particular day I thought, hmmmm, why not go to Disneyland!!! (disneyland is 16 miles from the hotel) I've been hearing about their annual passes, we went firsthand to check it out. We parked & rode the tram to the ticket counter (Hunter thought we were on a choo-choo train, he was pretty excited.) On the annual passes there are some blocked out days/days you cannot get in w/your pass, but the one I liked had 216 available days I believe. I'll get my money's worth if I only go 3 times!!! What a bargain. And you can go to both parks, disneyland & california adventure. (We will be meeting up w/my parents & sister Madeline in April for disneyland-good times to come!) Yesterday was a day you can use the pass, so in we went! We spent most the time at Toon Town for the little boys. The last pic is the boys on Roger Rabbits crazy car ride, & it was kind of crazy & scary, they didn't seem to mind but I don't know if I'll take my baby Jackson on that one again! So, if I'm going to be alone w/my two little boys & we need to find something to do, there is nothing better than going to Disneyland!!!
