Lots of New Things!

This week has been fun doing some new things with the kids. First off on Sunday we went to see Ice Age 3 in the theaters with the neighbors. It was a first for both kids. Madison did good, she kinda got bored towards the end and just wanted to run around. It was a cute movie, but I think we will wait a while before I do that again. Maybe to see the new Tinkerbell movie or Toy Story 3, yes they are making a third one! Austin did very good for being a baby in the loud theater. He got alittle fussy toward the end because it was his naptime and he wouldn't nurse or sleep! But we ended up laying out a blanket in the second row, we were in the third, and let him play on the floor. It was nice to go see a matinee, on a Sunday, in Utah. Not alot of people in there.

Also I made Jell-o jigglers for the kids as a fun snack and Austin just loved it! It was fun and not really that messy. Although he has a very red tongue and hand now :) Other than that we have just been hanging out at the house, sorting pavers and going for bike rides. Enjoy the pics!

It's been a LONG time.....

But we've been very busy over here with our new friends and getting the patio done. Its been so much fun getting to know our neighbors. They really are great people, and Madison gets along so good with the kids. She constantly looking over to see if their garage is open so she can go play, and the little boy, Kesler, is always telling his mommy that he's ready to come over and play!

The 4th was fun and relaxing. Meet some of the neighbors family and they were really nice. We did a little fireworks for the kids and then went to Redwood Road to watch the fireworks over the valley. It wasn't that impressive and not worth it after the next morning when we realized the mosquitoes ate us up! Anyway other than that its been work work work on the back patio. Garretts done a great job! I've helped here and there but when the kids need their mommy I've gotta be there, right ;) Here's some pictures of what we have done. Enjoy! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the warm weather!

Whew what a weekend!!

Ok so first off I'm so glad the weather is better! Its so nice to be able to do some yard work and just be outside. We added alittle to the yard with bricks surrounding the tree and front flower bed. It looks so nice.
Madison now sleeps in her big girl underwear. She didn't have an accident the first night,but did last night. Its not very fun changing a bed at 3 in the morning. But she is so proud of herself for getting up in the morning and going straight to the potty. Such a big girl. We are so proud of her too!
Found a great deal on KSL for keystone pavers yesterday afternoon. Got about 500 square feet of pavers for $450. Thats $.90 a square foot!!! I'm so excited, but felt bad because we had to make three trips to West Jordan and hand load and unload by hand. Luckily we have some awesome neighbors and friends who helped us out, but it still took Garrett til 3 in the morning to finish getting them home. Poor guy. He's beat!
Thats about it for us this weekend. Had a great weekend spending time together. Tomorrow we have a going away BBQ for some really good friends. I'm really sad they are moving but know its best for their family. I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! Enjoy the warm weather.

Zoo Trip and more

We are still trying to recuperate from the camping trip thats why I haven't posted in awhile. That and we just got a new computer so I don't have to fit the screen to type!! This past weekend we went to the zoo. It was fun and very tiring. The hills there are not fun!! :) Anyways we had a good time seeing all the fun animals and new things at the zoo. I had to go to the dentist again on Thursday to get some cavities filled, so I pretty much slept the whole day away. Yesterday we went to see our pavers again and decided that we are going somewhere else. Found a good deal on cobblestone but need a minimum of 2000 square feet which we don't need. So we are looking for something new for the patio. Any ideas?? Not much else going on, just everyday things. Trying to find something for me and Madison to do this summer, just the two of us, but can't seem to find anything that works with Garretts hours. Hopefully the weather gets better and we can just hang out outside!

Our Adventure

Love this photo. Thank you Michelle! Our camping trip was, well......unforgettable! It was beautiful and fun and WET! The days were great, filled with bike rides, walks, fishing, and lots of yummy food. Oh and rain :) The nights were alittle harder. It was cold and Austin didn't sleep good unless he was sleeping with me. Madison got a new big girl bike from Papa and Grandma and her cousins had lots of fun teaching her how to ride it. She loves it. She had so much fun with them and was truly heartbroken when we left. She cried for a very long time :( The trip home was so long. The kids had had enough and were tired of being buckled up in the truck. But it was a good trip all in all. Good memories that will stay with me for a long while ;)

New things!

We are ready to go camping Grandma and Papa!

About time....

Austin has finally started sleeping better at night. Only waking up a few times at night, but putting himself back to sleep. For two nights he didn't eat at all through the night! It's nice, but I'm still not sleeping as good cause I'm worried about how long he's sleeping. LOL.
We had a good weekend. I got some new clothes, my mother's day gift. Very nice to have things that fit right :) We had a small BBQ here at the house. That was nice to hang out with our friends and relax. Madison got to stay up late and play with the kids around the neighborhood. She had a blast. Alittle cranky the next day, but it was worth it. During last week we went to a park with Laura and her kids and found a really neat park next to a "lake". The kids played a bit and then we let them wade in the water. It was really fun and sandy. I love water and sand! We'll have to go back and bring the swim suites. No pictures. To much work to juggle a camera along with everything else I brought.
Other than that we've just been hanging out, getting to know the neighbors. Enjoying our grass, enjoying our house. Getting excited to go camping, but dreading getting ready! Happy Monday everyone!
