Good Times

This week has been very fun filled! It was so fun to have Mike and Hollie and the kids here this week and we got to share some great memories with them. I put together a slide show of all the fun stuff we did.(Sorry there are a lot of pictures) Monday the kids went to the zoo with Nana and Papa, I had to work so I missed out on that great adventure! Tuesday we went bowling for Carter and Taylors birthday, then we went to the Discovery Gateway on Wednesday. The kids had a blast! Their favorite part was the ball area. They loved opening up the air duct and having the balls sucked up the tube and air blowing in their faces. They laughed so hard, it was quite entertaining. Friday night the boys got to have their first sleep over, they were so excited and had so much fun. They all did pretty good too. Saturday was lots of fun as well but I am now to the point of exhaustion! We went to Layton Park for family pictures, which is always an adventure with all the kids that want to run and play, but I think we might have gotten one good one. Then we had a picnic and then just played all day! We had croquet, baseball, football and of course the playground for the kids. Everyone had a great time and it was wonderful spending quality time with my family and especially Mike and Hollie before they ship off to England. We are going to miss them tons!

Savior of the World

Last Saturday we got to go and see a wonderful play that my parents stake put on. It was called "Savior of the World" Both Mom and Dad had parts in it so it was extra fun to see. My dad grew out his hair and his beard, it didn't look so great in day to day life but it looked great in the play.





















They did a great job and the spirit was strong. I am so glad my parents sacraficed a lot of time and energy to help put this on so I could have the opportunity to experience the wonderful spirit and fun of seeing Dad and Mom in a play.





Before the play we got to meet them for breakfast and spend some time together since Mike and Hollie and the kids were able to be with us as well. Then we all went back to the hotel Mom and Dad were staying in and just had some fun.

Too Much Fun!

This last weekend I experienced my first outing with the kids, in a public place with lots of stuff to see, with out Derek. Let me tell you it was a blast! (said with sarcasm) Actually it was a lot of fun to watch the kids have so much fun with their cousins. We went to the Saloman Center in Ogden. It was just a work out chasing them all over and trying to keep track of both of them when they kept wanting to go their seperate ways. Neither one of them wanted to stay anywhere near mom, they just wanted to explore. But in the moment when we got them interested in the same game, it was really fun. Kaden's favorite was the Skee ball of course, he got to throw balls, his favorite thing to do. They all got so excited when they saw all the tickets come out, it was like they won the lottery. It was especially fun to watch them all laugh on the little merry go round thing, they all just kept smiling and laughing at each other. They then proceeded to jump off, and run to the open floor and run in circles, yes more circles, its a good thing we didn't feed them first. They were just dancing and running like crazy people but with them it was adorable! After our fun day at the arcade, we got to go to mom and dads to await the arrival of Mike and Hollie. We were so excited to see them and can't wait to have tons of fun while they are here. Kaden was happy to finally see the kids, I had been talking about them for months. It took him awhile to warm up to them but once he did, they had a lot of fun, I'm glad they have this chance to get to know their cousins again. Lots of fun stuff to come!

So Observant

This is kinda cute, it just shows how much kids really watch us. There is no sound but it is still cute.

In case you are wondering that is deodorant.

S*#T... I mean Shrek!

Thought I would share this cute little video we have of Kaden learning how to pronounce his R's and K's, obviously he didn't do such a great job, but it sure is cute. This is what we hear at least twice a day when he wants to watch Shrek! It caught me by surprise the first time he said it, the movie was on the floor and he looked down at it and excitedly yelled Shrek! but of course in his own little way. I didn't see the video at first so I was a little shocked until I saw what he was looking at.
