A busy month for sure!


























Well you must have thought that I forgot all about our blog this past month. Well I haven't it's just been crazy. For starters we went to Montana. What a blast. It was bad weather for most of the time but it was fun. We went to the museum there, which the boys loved. We played with all the cousins, ate way to much and had a blast. I of course froze to death, but that is another story in itself. Then Scot's parents came back home with us. We stopped and went grocery shopping along the way and it was quite crowded on the way home due to the 8th passenger. A 5 foot teddy bear for Jayden's birthday. Yes Jayden is 1. I can't believe it myself. He is so big and gets around like a champ. Also Colton turned 5 on our trip to Montana. He thought that was pretty cool. Not only that but it was Grandpa HJ's birthday by his which was so cool. My boys sure do love them and couldn't get enough of them. So then we made it home. We were all so tired we didn't do much but unpack for a couple of days. Then on the days that we had stuff planned it snowed and was horrible weather. We did end up driving out to Escalante. Which was a lot of fun. (P.S. just spilled D. Coke all over the computer. Still working so that is a plus). Colton and William were so sad when Granny Nancy and Grandpa HJ had to leave. They cried for a while after they left and wanted them to come live with us. The next day that I worked Colton asked, well mom who is going to watch us, Granny Nancy and Papa HJ are gone? He was quite distraught about it. They are already making plans for next time they come and visit. How fun it was. Now about that freezing all the time. Come to find out that my thyroid went cuput!!! Yeah, but is sure does explain how I have been feeling for quite some time now. I'm doing much better and each day is better than the first since I started my Synthroid. I am truly greatful for modern medicine and what it does to help. So now we are starting to get back to normal life. No more full time for me, Scott is back to his normal schedule. Colton is practicing for school. William is rhyming like a pro (he thinks it's so awesome that he knows how to rhyme now), and Jayden is seeing if he can outgrow his 18 month clothes. Kinda skipped the 12 month clothes. He was in them all of 1 month. Now off to getting the yard in, camping, reunions and birthdays, not to mention school in the fall. A busy summer ahead but tons of fun!!! Can't wait!

T-Ball



















T-Ball has begun. Colton has been so excited. He played really well. Although he was upset that he couldn't get the ball. But it was much better than last year, so we are definetly making progress. We also celebrated his birthday a week early since we will be on the road all day long on his birthday. It was lots of fun. He loved everything that he got. He really can't wait to go fishing with Trent and Big Pa. He also hasn't let his diesel truck out of his sight. Last night he slept with his scriptures. He is a funny kid. Then we dyed Easter eggs and went on the East egg hunt which was a total success. Why did I buy Easter candy. What was I thinking. We ended up with 3 baskets overflowing, because Colton found a whole basket that was hidden. Leave it to him to find that one. And as tradition dictates in Hatch...yes it did snow this year for Easter. Granted it wasn't the foot of snow like in years past, but the weekend is not over.

YEAH!!! If finally feels like spring!



It has been wonderful this week. Warm and so nice. We did wake up to snow the other day but it melted fast and it's been wonderful. Colton even got a sunburn on his neck. I love it. Although with the nice weather comes the ticks and Yes I did find one on Tana!!! YUCK!!! I hate them. Colton is getting so big. He drew a picture of his Dad in his church clothes last week at church. I loved it so much. He is also counting down the days until his birthday party. We are having one early this year so that he can invite his friends. Then we will celebrate Grandpa HJ's and his together while we are up there. William is just having a blast and getting so big. Jayden has started to climb things. It is so fun, yet scary. He actually has figured out how the gate opens so now it has to stay locked at all times. Don't want another falling down the stairs incident. (Yes he did that, I was in the shower and the gate was not locked...I think you can fill in the blanks). Scott and I have had a busy week. I had class so that was an extra day at work and away from the family. Nice on the paycheck, not nice on the family time. We did manage to squeeze some family game time in though. Spring is great!!!! Love it so much.

How Exciting!!!










This has been a fun week for the boys. It started with several wonderful and nice days in a row where they played outside until they were exhausted. This made Mom very happy. I love when they can go outside and play. They also had a play date at their cousins Trent and Casey's house. They had a picnic and lots of fun. A few days later their long awaited bunk beds came and that has been a hit. In the mean time Jayden discovered the taste of mud and quite liked it. He was not happy that I wasn't going to let him continue to eat it. Which led to an interesting diaper change later. Also their friend Alyssa came to play and Colton decided that they were going to go and dance, she preceeded to remind him that she couldn't do that until she was 16. I was so proud of her. They had lots fun together. Then today William woke up from his nap with not 1 or 2 or 3 shirts on, but yes 4. It was quite funny. He said he was cold. It has been a fun week. Glad it's over, but lots of fun. Yes we had snow and rain, work and chores, but we managed to fit some fun in there.
