Memorial Day 2012

This long weekend wasn't anything special. It was pretty much a lazy weekend, which I don't mind, especially having two little ones, working, between Jeremy and I we love being lazy around the house with the two little kids, but now that they are on the move I want to go do stuff with them too. Friday Night - Jeremy made dinner, baked potatoes, steak and artichokes. We hung out with the kids and then watched a movie. Saturday - I helped out my work with working drive up. When I used to have to work drive up on Saturday's I remember that my favorite time is when it is stormy outside - so I got to watch the rain storm go through the valley while I worked. After getting home we were all pretty tired so we all tried to take a nap. Then we hung out some more on the couch and watched a movie. Sunday - Jeremy went to church to teach his class. Jack had been having stomach issues for the last few days so we have been fighting with that. Jack and Abigail both took naps which was nice to have some quiet time. Jeremy headed to work so it was me and the kids. We watched Megamind, Madagascar, Cars 2, you name it we probably watched it. The kids fell asleep late and I didn't fall asleep until later. Monday - Abigail woke up at 7:30 (naughty girl) we hung out around the house for the first few hours. I called my Dad to wish him a Happy Birthday. The we headed out on to our Memorial Day Adventure.

We first headed to SugarHouse to test and see how the kids would handle an acutal movie. So we went to Movies 10 and went to see Dr. Suess' The Lorax.

Waiting in line to get some movie treats

Got our drink and popcorn we are ready to go.

Jeremy and I were suprised for one it was packed infact I think it ended up being sold out. We found two seats near the front and the kids had to sit on our laps. Jack was mezmorized through the whole movie. Abigail fell asleep during the movie. The Lorax was a big success, which we are excited for June because Madagascar 3 comes out, wish us luck.

After the movie we picked up some Wendy's and headed to SugarHouse Park for relaxing in the sun.

We decided to feed the birds and ducks. The kids had a blast trying to feed and chase the birds and ducks everywhere.

After the feeding the bird and ducks we headed to the creek to walk around in the water.

After playing in the water and playing on the playground we decided to head downtown and go to City Creek.

The explorers found the water

And the fountain that sprays water

After getting wet we headed down to the food court

After our walking and exploring City Creek we headed back to West Temple where the fountain are

Abi decided to have no fear and take the fountain head on

The final result...Jack got wet, Abi got wet...

Going back and continuing to get wet, priceless.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!

2012 Father & Son Camping Trip

This year it was mentioned in our ward that they were going to have the annual Father & Son Camping Trip. Jeremy felt and started to get giddy about taking Jack for this first one of many outings.

Three Years Old

Jack, You turned three today and you continue to amaze your dad and I. You pick up on things so quickly. Your memory is really good and you will even remind your dad and I of different things, such as reading the scriptures or where your sippy cup is hiding. Word World is the new show to watch every day. This month I think we are still on Mega Mind. You continue to love reading and you make sure that we do that every day during the day or at night. You love playing with your trains as well as building and stacking things. You love to swim, we will talk you into taking baths but you like your showers. Although you turned three on Wednesday we celebrated your birthday on Saturday. Up until your birthday all you wanted was cake and ice cream. When we went to look and decide what kind of cake you wanted we looked through the book and all you ended up wanting was a SpongeBob Cake.

Thank you to all that came to celebrate Jack's big three year old moment. Thank you for all of the awesome gifts that he can't decide on which one to play with. Jack you got a bowling set, water guns, lego set, basketball hoop, scooter, a growing rubber snake and a bubble Thomas Engine.

Abigail 28 Months

Abigail, What are we going to do with you? You are starting to have such a fun, crazy, beautiful personality. You don't like it when you don't get your way. You love being the center of attention. You continue to love tormenting your brother. You love playing trains with your brother, playing with your kitchen and all of your many barbies. You used to love watching Super Why and Dinosaur Train, however those two shows have taken a back seat and your favorite show is Word World. You continue to love your Tangled movie and when you go to bed you LOVE listening to the soundtrack - however you always switch between Tangled and Princess Frog. We finally cut your hair right below your shoulders, hopefully to help with it to stop getting so tangled. You are such a beautiful little girl. You make your dad and I proud of all of the accomplishes that you do, like completing a level on a game and climbing up the challenges on the playground. You continue to love to read.

Happy Birthday To Me!

This year marks 33 years of me being on this earth, growing up in a great family and having an awesome family of my own. This year I decided to work on my birthday. The night before my birthday my hibby suprised me of my new iPad.

He had Jack carry it out to me. It was the best birthday and mother's day present ever, especially since I really wanted one for christmas. At work we had a member value day so in the way the whole company celebrated my birthday (at least that is what I keep telling myself). Jeremy and the kids surprised me by showing up and delivering flowers, my favorite...Daisies.

The rest of the day was busy. After I got home, Jeremy had to head to work, so the kids and I walked around the block and headed to the school to play on the playground.

Friday came and my girlfriends and I went out to celebrate Lauren and my birthday. We headed to City Creek

and went to eat at the Blue Lemon

I realized that in the year I have known my girls the last time a picture was taken of the three of us was 12 years ago at my wedding. So before eating our delicious looking entrees we had our picture taken

Larkyn, Lauren, Laurie

Lauren and Laure got their Fiery Fish Tacos - which looked amazing

I got the Roasted Turkey Avacado

What a fun night, spending it with my girls, which we don't do very often but is awesome and fun when we make it happy.

Love you both and thanks for a great night!
Thank to to everyone for the wonderful Birthday Wishes!

My Little Soccer Player

Today we headed to the Taylorsville Rec Center to support my nephews, Riley and Zach. Well into their soccer game two little players had to leave. So what is this team of 4 going to do playing against a team of 6. Landon and Cristy ended up having an extra jersey and so Jack put on the jersey and headed out to play some soccer. At first he wasn't quite sure what to do where to run, but after a little while he got in a few good kicks with the ball. I think for sure next year we will have to get him signed up for soccer.

While Jack was playing, Abigail kicked an extra ball around with her Uncle Logan and her cousin Kaymbria.
