Primary Talent Show





Our Primary held it's annual talent show and this year was the fisrt time all our boys could participate. Here is a little bit of payton's talent.
Jackson told some Laffy Taffy jokes and Spencer spent a lot of time doing some "color by numbers" It was a fun night to see so may hidden talents from the kids we see at church each Sunday.





Spring Training

Our boys always look forward to going to the ball park. I think the younger boys just go for the food but regardless they seem to have fun. It was a bit hot but all in all we had a lot of fun together.

















Payton's trip to the Firestation

Payton's preschool class got to visit the firehouse and I got some cute photos of him. He was quite wiggly and moody this time but he managed to have some fun =). Preschool fieldtrips are always interesting and Payton feels so big to be a preschool student. It is neat to see him becoming his own little person.




Easter 2010








Our kids had lots of fun at this Easter breakfast and egg hunt. they eat breakfast and hunted for eggs. Then they got to make a neclace of fruit loops to eat. Our kids mostly look through to find the broken ones so they can eat them but either way it is a good time.





Our kids are spoiled a bit with more than one egg hunt. My friend has a egg hunt eggstravaganza each year and the kids make out like bandits. Plus, my kids loved Sister mason's spaghetti and they had I think 3 helpings each. I guess this helps to balance out the 3 pounds of surgar they probably consumed =).



Our last egg hunt was on Easter at my brother house. Jaedon and Jace hid the eggs for the kids to find and what I thought would be a mall egg hunt was a rather large one -- great job guys. They boys were in heaven and then the tears errupted from Payton when he dropped all his eggs and the splattered everywhere on the floor of the car. He still ate the ones he found but I hope lesson learned -- holdon tight to the candy you want to eat =).







We did our traditional "Resurrection cookies" the night before Easter to help our famly remember the reason for the season. The kids remember so much and they so smart it makes me proud to be their mom. Here are some pictures of them enjoying the cookies.


It was nice this year to have time at home as a family for Easter weekend and watch Conference. Plus, it got rid of the candy faster because we were home to eat it and then move on.

Our family finally made it back to Disneyland and we had fun. We started off at Disneyland and then took a day off to relax at the beach. the weather was perfect and so we bathed in the sunshine and rested. Then we went back for another day of Disneyland fun. Spencer's favorite ride was Indiana Jones. We had to squeeze him in and he was just tall enough to ride. It was a good thing too because that was the one ride he was looking forward to the most. Jackson really liked Thunder Mountain and that is one ride Troy loves too. Payton wasn't a big fan of the fast rides but he was so excited to meet Mickey Mouse and he LOVED the Playhouse Disney show. He was amazed to see the characters he watches on TV come to life. We love the happiest place on Earth.

Our little bike rider!



Spencer was very reluctant to try to ride a bike. He had a few meltdowns with dad but after a some practice to build up his confidence he was off and riding! We are so proud of him and it is so exciting to have him wanting to get on his bike. he is getting so big and it is fun to watch him grow. Great job Spencer!


Finding the fun

This is one of those times when I was glad that I had my camera in my purse. Troy and I decided to go shopping for some outdoor pots and so we loaded up the kids and set off. One of the places we stopped had a display of all these animals that the kids found very interesting. It was so cute to see them with these and they were having fun. Oh to be a kids again.
