Jay's Birthday ( A little early)

We celebrated Jay's birthday a few days early this year. His real birthday is not until Monday, but we are going to be on vacation. So we decided to celebrate a few days early and give him some time to play with his new stuff before we leave. All he wanted for his birthday was a spongebob cake, a Mack truck (from CARS), and some monster trucks. Pretty easy kid to please. Grandma Ruth took care of the Mack truck so we took care of everything else. We also got him a new bike, which he loves, and a new spiderman robe. We kept it low key and just had our little family to celebrate. Sometimes that is more fun anyway. We love our Jay-man and can't believe he is three already. He says the funniest things all the time and is getting to be so independent. What a great little man!!

His awesome cake. Seriously-can you believe I MADE this?! Can you tell I am SUPER PROUD of myself?!

Oh my goodness! I love everything!!!

Kindergarten Graduation

Tyler is done with Kindergarten!! I can't believe that my baby is all grown up now and is going to be in school ALL DAY next year. Really!? Do I have a first grader?!! CRAZY!!! His kindergarten graduation was on the last day of school and he was so excited. I was such a proud mom. I mean, who wouldn't be? My kid knows all sorts of stuff now. He is actually a very good reader and loves to try and sound out any words he sees that he may not know. I can't wait to see what next year will bring for my little guy.

The proud Graduate

Cameron is 5 months!

I can't believe how fast time goes by! Cam was 5 months on the 18th. Here are a couple of recent pictures of him. There is a ton that I have not blogged about lately, so I will post again soon....promise.

Pinewood Derby

We had a pinewood derby car race and breakfast at church on Saturday. The boys thought it was a blast and thought our car was pretty cool. I am just happy that it got made, even if it did get finished only minutes before we walked out the door. Our little car took 6th place so the boys were pretty happy. (although Kevin is already figuring out how to make a faster one for next year.)

This is just a picture of the boys and I playing with the camera one afternoon.

Are they Look-a-Likes? You tell me

A New Favorite

I have found a new favorite blog. I found a link to it from my friend Kari-Lynn's blog. It is called makeitandloveit.blogspot.com I have a link to it on the side of my page. It has such fun and EASY crafty ideas. It also has some yummy recipes that I can't wait to try. I have already made the tutu for this cute little girl:

And I also made a cover for my baby wipe travel case. I love it! Even though Kevin is a little disgusted that I "girly-fied" the wipes case.

So go check it out- there is a tea-towel bag that I can't wait to try.

Trip to Provo

We took a quick weekend trip to Provo last weekend. Kevin was supposed to be on a campout with the boyscouts. However...we live in the mountains and apparently it is supposed to snow during the end of March...over Spring break. So the campout was cancelled. We tried to escape the cold weather and go a little farther south. Well, it was a little bit warmer, not much...but most important was....NO SNOW!!! We took the boys to the BYU bookstore which they love, went to the dinosaur museum, and the creamery for some ice cream. Kevin got to do some fishing, and I hung out a bit with Kristi. We kind of took her by surprise showing up, but she rolled with the punches and let us stay at her house uninvited....thanks Kristi!

With the T-Rex. (actually it wasn't a t-rex, but that's what we called it because I couldn't pronounce the real name.)

Ty looks a little weird, but it's a good pic of Jay

Kev by the scary 6 ft. aligator head. I guess they used to get like 36 ft.long. Can you say CREEEE-PY?!
