Graduation Day (Finally)...

So after 2 very long years, Wade graduated with his MBA at the U of U. We are all very glad to be done and to move on with life and we are very proud of our "Man of the House" and can't wait for him to reclaim his position in our home. Awesome job Wade, we love you so much!

Computer Class Graduation...

On April 28th Jacob had his computer class graduation, he was the only one who was hesitant to get up there to be recognized by his classmates, but Ms. Marj is very kind and very persuasive and got him to get up there without conflict.


Ms. Marj, probably one of the nicest ladies I have ever met, lovin' on Jacob.

Princess Jewels...

So we went to DI (basically a Goodwill for those not from Utah or Idaho) to get rid of some stuff and somehow the kids conned us into looking at the toys and we came home with a truck and a Disney Princess game with jewels, so here is the fam. being pretty pretty princesses! PS I didn't get a picture of it, but when Jacob put on the clip-on earrings, he put them on the top of his ears so he looked kind of alienish. Anna, however, knew exactly what to do with them.

The Little Girl...

So Jacob and Anna have a little friend in our neighborhood, her name is Abby. Jacob calls her "the little girl" (if any of you are fans of Charlie Brown, you will remember his infatuation with "the little red-haired girl"...this is very similar.) Since it got warm outside (the last week or so) they have played together everyday and they have so much fun. Unfortunately, Abby doesn't usually come out until 4:30 or 5 so Jacob stares out the window for the majority of the day waiting for the little girl, every 5 seconds he asks if she is outside yet and then throws a fit because she isn't there. Man, I thought I was going to going to go crazy, but it got so much worse. Because Jacob has a problem with listening to his father, he got in trouble and was not aloud to play one day, you would have thought we had almost killed the poor boy. He was devastated, crushed, and a complete terror the entire day. Honestly, I almost let him go play for my own sanity's sake...it was awful, but sort of funny now. Oh well!

T-ball

Anna begging to play, but she is still too "yittle".

Jacob up to bat, he's a lefty so I will have to get a better angle next time

Nice swing!

Second time up to bat.

Single!


Hangin in the the out field with coach Dad!

Running to first...

Run Home Jake!

Safe!

Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum...

For anyone who didn't know already...Jacob loves dinosaurs and as soon as he knew that Grandma and Grandpa were going to take him, his Mother has had some awesome leverage to help encourage his good behavior. It was pretty fun, they both enjoyed digging for dinos and playing in the wet sand to look for plastic dinos. I think the T-Rex was his favorite by far! So now we have been to 2 dino parks and I think I like Ogden's the best still. I think it is better for younger kids but it is outdoors and in Utah well, sometimes the weather just doesn't permit it.

Easter...

I have always loved Easter, it can be fun like Christmas minus all the stress! Here we are dying eggs, setting out carrots for the Easter Bunny, and finding our baskets. We celebrated on Saturday so my parents could be here which was really nice, then we were able to focus on the real meaning on Sunday and also pay more attention to the LDS general conference.

The Zoo...

My parents (and a special treat, my brother Zach) always come to town for my mom's spring break and they always do such fun things wit our kids, but one of their favorites is the zoo. The kids had a blast of course! Sad Note: the day we went was the same day that the baby giraffe died...we couldn't figure out where he was or why the giraffe house was closed. Later, on the news we found out why, it was failure to thrive or something like that. Jacob was really upset about it, for some reason he thought he was going to die to (maybe because it was the baby). He asked his dad "If Heavenly Father wants to come and get me, can I just pretend to die." How cute and sad that is all at the same time. Poor Thing.

St. Paddy's Day!..

My brother is so thoughtful of my kids during holidays and he (with the help of my parents credit card) picked out some goodies for my kids for St. Patrick's Day. Anna loved the green M&M's (no surprise there) and Jacob loved the hat and socks and glasses, in fact he is wearing the glasses and hat as we speak ( I think the socks were for Anna but she didn't seem to care...she is all about the chocolate, definitely not my child!) Anyways, thanks Uncle Zach and G&G. Happy St. Paddy's Day!

You'll have to excuse Anna's undies, we are attempting to potty train for 3rd time (life just got in the way) and so we don't wear pants very often, its easier to take off and less laundry when accidents occur.

New Jammies...

I love Costco they always have the cutest PJ's for kids and for fairly good prices plus my kids love new jammies, they wear them for 3 days straight when they get a new pair. Here's the newest additions...

Snow Day...

We got the majority of our snow this year at the beginning of winter and all of us were too sick to play in it this year so when it snowed a little over a week ago we had to go play!
