Things I Love About My Mom

I love that even though I am almost 35, she still sends me "care packages" and always makes my favorite meals when I am home visiting.

I love that she still keeps the "tickle bug" on her personage at all times. I don't see him much anymore, but the kids get visited by him often.

I love that she just learned to text message and she sends me messages all the time telling me how much she loves me.

I love that she set such a great example of a woman who can work hard and still be a great mother.

I love that she still asks my opinion on her hair and clothes.

I love how much fun she is. When I was a kid she would wake me up in the middle of the night every year on the first snow to take me sledding. She said that's when you could get the "best snow" before anyone else was out. She used to hide under our beds and grab our ankles as we were climbing in just to give us a good scare.

I'm so grateful to be the recipient of her love. Happy Mother's Day Mom!

FIELD TRIPS!!!
We had a great day at the Hogle Zoo together...
I even got to spend the day being a tour guide to some of Ethan's classmates.
What a great group of little people. It was an awesome adventure to go exploring with them!

We almost got eaten by a T-Rex....

Ethan tried to feed his arm to a 100 year old turtle....

We used this guy to eat our pudding...

Fed the elephants grass...

Held up a 5,000 pound animal

Watched the monkeys do their business....

And said hello to this "stiff neck".

Baby Animals & Pony Rides

If you haven't checked out THIS PLACE...you should.
It's a top Utah County destination for our family. We even got a year family pass.
There's so much to see and do! Guess this will be one of our summer hangouts spots for sure!

I don't think Isaac appreciated the smell :)

Easter Blessings

What a wonderful weekend to spend with friends and family.
I'm grateful for all of them. Especially my friend Rebecca who has an amazing knack for capturing the moment.
I'm thankful for the true meaning of this holiday and the atoning sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for the sake of all men. I love having the opportunity to share this GOOD NEWS with my children every day.
I started reading THIS BOOK recently. What a perfect book to read during this time of year. Check it out!

Pinewood Derby Time

The boys have been having a good time lately sanding, painting and racing!
I'm grateful they have a dad that gets into helping them with their projects. I think he had about as much fun as they did.
