Father's & Son's Camping Trip

A few weeks ago Keith took Noah on his first Father's & Son's camping trip! I don't know who was more excited, Keith or Noah! They had a lot of fun spending some guy time together. I asked Noah if it would be fun for us to go on a camping trip together as a family and he said, "No mom, camping is just for boys. you and Delaney can't come, but you can stay home and go shopping if you want to!" He's so funny! Here are some of the pictures that Keith was able to get while they were camping.

1st Time at the Dentist

Today Noah went to the dentist for the first time! Last time Keith and I went for our check ups, we took him with us to watch so hopefully he wouldn't be scared for his first time. It worked, he did amazing! They took x-rays and everything and they said he did so good for his first time. I'm sure that knowing he would get to pick a toy at the end had nothing to do with it! We were so proud of him!

Mother's Day

I love Mother's day! I love that there is a day set aside to really appreciate mother's and all that they do in this world! I really appreciate all the mom's that I have in my life and they're all amazing for different reasons. I wouldn't be the woman I am today if my mom hadn't raised me the way that she did. My step-mom Jayne is an amazing mom to me and she is a wonderful grandma to my kids! My mother-in-law Leah is such an amazing mother and grandma to all her kids, their spouses, and her grandkids. I am so grateful for all that she does for us and our kids. All my sisters-in-law are all great mothers and they are all wonderful examples to me! This is my tribute to all the mom's in my life, I am so grateful for all of you!

Easter 2011

Easter was a fun holiday for us this year! When the kids woke up they came out to the front room and found the buckets that the Easter Bunny had left for them. They also noticed that there were eggs hidden around the front room and had fun finding all of them! Delaney actually found a couple too! After church Noah also told me that Easter isn't just about the Easter Bunny and candy, but it's about Jesus too! I'm glad some of that the things he's learning in primary are sinking in! Most of the cousins came over in the evening for dinner and an Easter Egg hunt! It's so much fun watching the kids all line up on the side walk and then run over across the street to the church to find the eggs. Here are some pictures of our Easter festivities!

Grand Canyon Trip

WARNING: lots of pictures!

I know it's been a while since I last updated my blog, but we've been pretty busy around here and I haven't really had much to blog about. My brother and his family came to visit and while they were here they wanted to take a trip to the Grand Canyon, so we went along with them! We don't get to see them very much so it was fun to get to spend that time with them. We did the Grand Canyon Railway and my kids loved it! Noah thought that it was pretty cool to get to ride on a train, but he could care less about the Gran Canyon. He say's that it's just a big cliff and a big hole! It was a fun little mini vacation for our family.

This was the entertainment on the train. Delaney was rockin' out!

Our train was robbed by cowboys. Noah did not like that at all!
