Fun Times

I was going threw my camera and notice I had a lot of fun pictures of the kids just hanging out and doing different things that I have never really found a post for them. So here is my post of just random pictures!!!

The Boys playing on the Tramp


This is everyone waiting for Preston's program to start




My little Baby who is not a baby anymore

The boys being ever so good at one of McKay's Soccer games






These are the flowers I did for my kids to give to there teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. The say "Where Children Bloom"

These are the roses Korey got me for our Anniversary!

Preston shooting a basket at a camp he did. Sad that this is the one and only picture I took of him during it.

Photos by Preston!

For Christmas Preston got a camera. He asked if I could download the pictures to the computer so he could mess with them on the software that came with the camera. I thought that some of the pictures were way cute and just wanted to share them!








For some dumb reason these dang pictures would not turn. So you may have to telt your head a little!

Kindergarten Program

Preston's teacher this year did an end of the year program. They sang songs and even did a play. "The Little Red Hen" It was way cute & a fun program. Preston was not feeling great since earlier he had 2 teeth pulled. But he was a trooper and went and did his best. Here are a few highlights from the evening!

Here he is waiting for the program to start.


Here are few action shots.



I am bummed that I did not get any shots of him during the play. He was one of three duck and his line was "Not I, quack, quack. I can tell from that line that he is a star in the making!

Look How Big We Got!

Whenever we go to the Zoo we always get a picture of the kids standing in front of the Gorilla. My Sister started it with here boys and I started it with McKay. I even have a picture of him barley able to sit and he is in front of the Gorilla. So here are the kids in front of it this year.

We Love The Zoo!

We did not do a whole heck of a lot during Spring Break. No money equals no fun! But we did make it to the Zoo. It was the perfect time of year to go. The weather was awesome, the animals were out & active. The best part the baby animals. Nothing is better than the zoo in the Spring time! We went up with my Brother & his family. The boys were great & had a blast. After the zoo we went and had lunch at Red Robin(YUMMM). When ever we say Red Robin the boys always have to throw in YUMMM. You know like the song! Good luck getting that commercial out of your head now. Well then we ran home changed our clothes & Korey & I took the boys to the Lehi pool. It is always fun in the winter when it is to cold for an outside one. All in all it was a busy, but fun day! Here are some of the high lights from the Zoo. I am bummed because I forgot to take the camera to the pool. Thanks Allen's for coming out and hanging with us for the day!

These baby Geese were just running around the Zoo!

This baby Orangutan was so cute!

This is for Korey, he loves the Wolves!

The Tigers were so active. It was way cool!

The Giraffes were the kids favorite. They were so sad that the baby one had died recently!



Let's go Cougars!!!

We call Ryan "Rhino" when he is being grumpy! This is for you!!!

My favorite Animal of all is the Elephant! It was so neat to see a baby one. When we first went by she was sleeping.

We checked back a little later and she was up playing! So cute!!!

Easter Morning

We do not go all out for Easter & I think it is a nice way to try and remember the whole meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it. If we get to crazy with the whole Bunny and Egg thing it is hard to do that. It was great to have Conference the same weekend that seemed to keep the true meaning a little easier. It is also nice to have so much family time when it is a holiday. The boys loved all the little fun things that came in there baskets. I think the favorite of all 4 of them was the Perry the Platypus stuffed animal. We are huge P&F fans!!!



No the pink basket is not mine or a sign of something to come. My Niece was in town visiting us & the Bunny found her here.

Craft Night

Every Priesthood session the boys and I get together with my in-laws and have dinner and do a craft. We always do such fun crafts. This year we got the kids wooden swords to paint while we painted our craft. They had a a lot of fun and made a crazy mess. It is hard for me to think that next April McKay will be gold enough to be going with Korey to the Priesthood session. My boys always have a great time with there Larsen Cousins. It was a great craft for my boys to make and now they play with the swords all the time & I got cute Easter craft out of it. Thanks guys for hanging out with us it was fun! We missed you Angie!

This is the cute Egg & Chick I made:)

The Little Artists

Egg Hunts

I do not know why they call them Easter Egg Hunts. Because you know that the kids do not care about the eggs they just want the candy! For the past 4 years my SIL Molly's Step Mom Kim, Kimmy as my boys call her. Has been very nice and invited us to an hunt that she does. She is awesome and goes all out! My boys ask every year if we get to go. By the time we leave there is no reason for the Bunny to bring us any candy. Well this year she did it once again. I love watching them run around all crazy like and then at the end sit and trade and visit and just enjoy being together. Thanks again Kim it was fun!

Egg Coloring

I know I am way behind on post but I want these in here more for me than anything. So a few nights before Easter we colored some eggs. I am always surprised with how into it the boys get. They had a lot of fun and got really creative. I think my favorite part was Parker. He colored an egg and feel in LOVE with it. He was so sad when it was time for bed & he had to put it in the fridge. When he woke up in the morning it was the first thing he asked for. He called it "Eggy". He carried it every where that day. By the end of the day it was so cracked and soft! He had dropped it so many times and it sat in his basket so when we went to hunts he threw all his candy on it. Well as I was down loading the pictures off my camera he saw the picture of him with the egg. He said "Mommy I miss my Eggy". It is funny that he still remembers it! My Niece Eliza was in town over Easter weekend and she to got into the egg coloring.

Ant Hill

Ryan got an Ant Hill for Christmas. We ordered the Ants in March and they were mailed to us within a few days. It was crazy the little tube that so many Ants came in. I wish I would have taken photos of the hill after the Ants had dug all of the tunnels. It was cool how hard they worked and how little they needed to eat. They lived for about 6 weeks and when some started to die I told Ryan it was time to let them go and live outside. I did not want him to see them all die. He has been begging me to get more and I think I will. The boys spent a lot of time watching the little guys work and dig.
