Ring Around The Rosies

Chris caught the boys playing ring around the rosies. We thought this was cute. These two really are best friends.

Another Day Out

In between snow storms STILL, we had a couple nice days. We decided to take the boys to our local park and have a picnic. Brandon is getting so big. I am surprised at all of the things he can do. His climbing skills have certainly gotten better. One thing he was scared of was the tunnel slide. I guess it was a little to dark. Finally, I climbed up and went down with him. He was so proud and ran right back around to do it again. I was proud that after two children I can still fit down the tunnel slide; so it was a success for us both. As you can see Aaron got his first park ouchy. The worst part is that I know he loves the park so I woke him up to play. What a way to wake up.

Brandon and Aaron's room

We decided it was time to get Brandon out of his toddler bed and into a big boy bed. I took him to pick out bedding knowing that I would have to settle for something like Toy Story or Spiderman. Fortunatly he is super into Diego right now and we could not find it anywhere. He finally found this lion rug at Kohl's he really wanted. I guess because there are animals on Diego it was close enough. I had no idea what the bedding looked like but it really didn't matter. He was getting the rug. So, I grabbed the twin bedding and we took it home. I could not have picked a better set. It matches perfectly with Aaron's bed and it is super cute. The quality is way better than the character sets and bonus it was on sale. Great choice Brandon! I want to get a few more pics for the long wall but here is the room as of now.

Brandon's first egg hunt all alone

Since we had conference Saturday morning I took Brandon to the only egg hunt I could find at 8:00 in the morning. It was at our local Smith's. Lucky for us not to many people wanted to get up for it so there were only like 10 kids in Brandon's age group. This worked out well for us because Chris had to work and so I had both kids alone. Brandon was going to have to egg hunt by himself. It is funny what kids instinctively know how to do. His excitement so full that I think I fed off of it and turned into a 3 year old with him. I was cheering for him and he was picking up eggs and candy as fast as he could. I cannot believe how well he did. What a fun morning.

THE Egg

This egg caused Brandon so much excitement. I thought the hunt started at 8 but it didn't start till 8:30. I tried killing time but eventually there was nothing to do but wait in our area. Brandon saw this egg and he kept inching towards it. Finally he got it in his hand but the hunt had not started yet. I made him put it back. He kept looking at it and then at me. I think he touched the thing a dozen times. I was so worried someone would come steal it when they said go before Brandon even knew what to do. Don't worry he got it.

Easter 2010

This little girl came over by Brandon to pick up candy. Her mom was worried she was taking all of his candy. I think he did alright.

St. Patrick's Fun

Grandma Hess got off of work early on St. Patrick's Day and came down to our house. It was a surprise for Brandon but as soon as we pulled up to the train station he was not fooled. I tried telling him that we were just riding bikes but he said "nope I am going to ride my super bike and see my super grandma." One train came going the wrong way and I think he started to believe she wasn't coming. Then her train came. She had a big funny hat on so Brandon didn't recognize her. After the train pulled away he got off of his bike and started to cry. It was so sad. She was right in front of him. I pointed her out and he had to take a few looks to recognize her. They had fun playing with bubble cars, eating treats and watching Ponyo. Thanks Grandma for a great St. Patrick's Day!

Happy 3rd Birthday Brandon

Brandon had a great birthday. He really wanted to wear his Woody costume that day- surprise! But, it was his b-day so I let him. He truly is super why-woody the cowboy now.

Playing with Dad

I can't wait for my boys to really play together. The other day Aaron started slobber kissing Chris all over his face. Of course Chris started laughing and screaming and so Brandon jumped in. The boys thought they were so funny and Chris got a slobber bath.

Trip To Oklahoma

Our trip to Oklahoma was so much fun. The weather was wonderful so Brandon got to play outside. He said his favorite part was going to the park with Papa. They went a couple of times and one time an old fashioned fire engine was there. The fireman let them climb into it and put on his hat. We had a full schedule. Baylee was baptized, we went to the stake Daddy/Daughter dance- and yes I showed those girls how to move. Unfortunately, my sister has all of the video. I am sure you would all love to see it. We went shopping, had my moms birthday, and had a lot of fun being together. Enjoy the photos!

Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point

My friend Cyndi came to Utah with her family for Spring Break. We met them at the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was super cute. My pictures are all a bit grainy and off but hopefully you can't tell to much. Thanks for calling us Cyndi it was great to see you! Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

Mikey's New Castle

Here is Mikey protecting his "Castle." I have to call it that because that is what my Grandpa always called his trailer. Mikey spent many days cleaning up and fixing this trailer that he got for only $100. I thought he looked like the perfect Hokey Okey so I had to take a pic. He thought it was funny and ran inside and got his gun. Watch out all you that are lusting after this beauty. Mikey will protect his fortress!

Grandma's Trampoline

These two cousins have been bossing each other the whole trip. However, I found them outside hugging on the trampoline today. When I snuck out to take the picture I heard Kaylee say, "Brandon I love you." I guess they really are still buddies.

Jumping on the Trampoline

Here are Kaylee and Brandon jumping on the trampoline. Poor little Brandon fell off and got a big goose egg on his forehead. He came in for about two minutes so that I could kiss it better, and then ran right back outside. Poor kid is just at the wrong height. When he got back to the tramp he must not have been looking because he ran right into the edge and hit his head again. Nevertheless, he is still jumping. I would have stopped after the first bump!

Happy Birthday to Me!

For my birthday Chris sent the boys and I back to Oklahoma for 10 days! Whoo-Hoo! As soon as I walked in the door my cousin brought me some flowers that Chris had delivered. Thank you sweetheart they are beautiful. I have a feeling 25 is going to be a good year. Funny story when the flowers got there my little brother thought it would be funny to write From: Mikey on the card- yeah right nice try.
