Lake Powell Trip 2009

This year we went to Lake Powell for our family vacation. We were there for about a week and it was so beautiful there. We went with a bunch of our good friends and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you everyone for everything! I can't wait to do it again!

Memorial Weekend Zoo Days

This year over Memorial weekend we went to the Zoo 2 days in a row. The first day we went with my sister Kim and her 2 kids Libby & Teancum, my other sister Katie went and my neice Alex and 2 nephews Micheal & Cameron. The next day Jay and I went with a good friend of ours Aubry and her 2 kids Raina & Ethan. We just love the Zoo!

Ogden 5K Marathon!

This year I ran the Ogden 5K Marathon with a good friend of mine from work Willie. It was freezing cold in the morning when we got there. The race started at 7:00am in the morning at the mouth of Ogden canyon. Once we started the run you warmed up. We had a really good time. Willie ran it in 26.50 mins and I did it in 34.14 mins! Can't wait for the next one!

Jay's first bike!

Well what we thought was going to be Jay's 3rd birthday gift came a little early this year! We broke down and bought him a bike. Everytime I go to Walmart and we go pass the bike section Jay shouts out "mom I wanna ride bikes." So I thought I would give him a chance to ride a bike in Walmart. It totally came natural to him... Jay hopped right on the bike and started riding it in the store. After a couple of times and going to the store and letting him ride the bikes we broke down and decided to take one home with us. Besides I think the Walmart clerks were getting sick of this crazy lady coming into the store to let her kid ride there bikes for free all the time.
I know the helmet looks s a little small for Jay, but he refuses to wear the bigger helmet... I'm just glad he is wearing a helmet to ride his bike. Everyday he wants to go out and ride his bike.

Easter Weekend!

Our Easter weekend started at the Jensen's house we all had dinner together. Andrea made pork salads that was just like a Cafe Rio salad. They were really good...can't wait to have them again (thanks Andrea)! After dinner we all colored easter eggs. Jay was into coloring eggs this year more then last year. Then Jason and the kids wrestled around in the living room for a bit. Easter morning I woke up early to make breakfast and get the pork in the crock pot for easter dinner. We had to wake Jay up in the morning... he said he was tired and wanted to sleep. Finally after waking Jay up and eating breakfast we opened up our baskets and watched Jay find all the eggs that the easter bunny hid. After cleaning up we took Jay outside to play with some of the things he got in his easter basket: bubbles, chalk, etc... Then later that day we went over to my sister Kim's house and had a easter egg hunt with my family. All the kids were running around trying to find all of the eggs. Thanks Kim for having that at your house! When then went home to have a easter diner with Jason's brother Jon. It was a really good day!

Fun with Friends

Last weekend our good friends the Woods came into town. We went over to there friends house that they were staying at for a BBQ. We all had a really good time hanging out and catching up. Jay had a really good time playing with all the kids. Jay really missed his Kass and Maddi. He is always asking me when we are going to there house.

One sticky mess!

About a week ago when Jay was at Andrea's they made ice pops. Jay took his home with us and really wanted to eat it on the way home. I thought I had him covered enough in napkins so it wouldn't make a mess or stain his white t-shirt he was wearing. It was about half way home when I realized it wasn't such a good idea to let him eat it on the way home... it was melting faster then he could eat the ice pop.

Thomas the Train and friends!

We told Jay 2 weeks ago that if he would learn how to go potty on the big potty and wear big boy underwear, we would take him to go see Thomas and friends with my sister Kim and her son Teancum. Well he held up his end of the bargin and he is now going potty on the big potty and wearing big boy underwear. We are so proud of him and how well he has been doing. So tonight we went to go see Thomas and friends. Jay and Teancum really loved the whole show. We couldn't even get Jay to look at the camera to take a picture because he was too busy watching Thomas!

Just some cute pictures for fun!
