Spring Break

We met up with my parents, little sis Madeline, brother Zachary & his wife Kortney for their spring break (and all the rest of the Utahns who also go to disneyland for spring break, there were ALOT of people & long lines.) Four days were spent at Disneyland/California Adventure & one day at Universal Studios. Harldy any pictures were taken, we were so busy-it is serious go,go,go time with my parents when your at disneyland:) that I kept forgetting to charge the camera. The little boys had fun, there were a few meltdowns during the naptime hours, but they loved the train ride around the park, the jungle safari was a big hit & the bugs life rides & movie in california adventure. There was actually alot that Jackson could do. They seemed to enjoy Pirates of the Carribean with the little roller coaster dips at the beginning. I was suprised that Hunter loved the roller coaster in Toon Town- I didn't think that he would be much of a roller coaster guy!!!

Hunter didn't know what to think about this scary shark at Universal Studios. For this photo opportunity you are supposed to stick your head in it's mouth so it looks like it's eating you--scary.



On the walk from the parking garage to the entrance of Universal Studios there were quite a few shops, resturaunts & even a movie theater.

Mmmm...Fruit Pizza!

This would be my first fruit pizza ever & it looks tasty! I googled for a fruit pizza recipe, this is the first one I saw, it came off kraftfoods.com. There was no need to look any further because this one is absolutely delish.

Welcome Spring

We are absolutely enjoying this weather & having fun planting flowers. Ted planted quite a few summer bulbs while I was gone & they are already beginning to sprout!


Little boys are always up to something, here Hunter stuck Lightning McQueen in this toy & his whole arm is stuck. After much pain & anguish on his part he ended up doing it again-go figure.

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!???

Easter with the Family

After the big easter egg hunt & a delicious dinner, it was fun to sit around and visit. Michelle, Skylar, Wendy, Presley, Brooks & Caleb

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.
