Fathers Day

We had a great day today starting out making a super Yummy Triple Chocolate cake. The boys thought they were pretty funny because they snuck the spoon and spatula out of the batter. I would have to say they enjoyed the batter as much as they liked the cake.

It always seems that one of our boys has something funny to say during church and today it was Tysons turn. As the sacrament was being passed I was reminding the boys that the bread represented the body of Jesus and the water his blood. When the bread came to our row Tyson says quite loudly,”Yes, it’s white bread!” So much for the representation lesson. I am always glad that our family can amuse those around us in sacrament meeting, 2 people came up to me afterwards saying they were trying not to laugh when they heard him.

For dinner we had ribs. Steve used his new charcoal BBQ that he got for his birthday. Using Charcoal definitely has a learning curve to it but we are having fun learning.

Happy Fathers Day Dad!

Wonderful Easter Weekend!

We had such an amazing Easter this year, being able to spend it with Cody and Paige being sealed in the Logan Temple. I am so happy for them and their family, knowing that we can be an Eternal family is such an amazing GIFT from our Heavenly Father!

The Van on the way to the Temple, 4 car seats, only because I couldn’t fit another one in the back seat.

We headed to Logan Friday night for an endowment session and of course to stay at the hotel because that is just a fun part of going on a trip. We stayed at the magnificent Super 8! Indoor swimming pool & continental breakfast what else is needed? I think Parker tried everything at breakfast, Tyson loved making his own waffle and twisting the knob in the cereal dispenser. The pool is always a highlight, the kids had a great time even though Tyson wouldn’t let me get a picture of him having fun he did have fun!

After the Temple on Saturday we went to a yummy luncheon and then to Paige's Grandmas for a Easter Egg Hunt! The kids were so excited and I was amazed at the amount of eggs that all the kids were able to find, the word that comes to mind, “Motherload!”

All the kids waiting patiently for the word GO!

Ending with Full grocery sack of Eggs full of CANDY!

On Thursday before we left for Logan we dyed Easter Eggs.

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday except that Steve wasn’t home with us. The Easter Bunny came Sunday morning to our house since we weren’t home on Saturday (which is when he usually comes). Tyson & Parker received Kites, peeps, a chocolate bunny, and money in their eggs. I would like to thank the Easter Bunny for not over loading them with candy!

Chloe received a little bear, but I think she liked the purple grass the best!

The kids and I went to church then after taking a few pictures headed to Pops & Yammas.

Once we arrived at Pops & Yammas we had Easter Dinner……..Hot Dogs & Hamburgers. Everyone's normal Easter Dinner right. We were actually celebrating Clay’s Birthday and that is what he requested. Yamma had a surprise present for Parker since they were in Hawaii for his Party.

Time to visit Santa Claus!!

I just found this post in my drafts while looking through some of my past blogs so I thought, what the heck, why not put a random post up.

Our Valentine Crafts

So I love to make crafts and I really try to choose something that my boys can help with. For Valentines this year I had them help with the decorations and we had a Great time. For starters the boys used all the sea shells that we collected and I glued them on hearts and then mounted them in a frame so that we have them to use every year!

Next I made lots of yarn pom-poms that I used for a garland and to hang from the light fixture. Next I Mod Podged letters with cute scrapbook paper. The boys got to help again with our Yarn Hearts that I saw in Disney’s Family Fun Magazine (Love this magazine). I used the yarn hearts in the garland and the light fixture. All in all I think our homemade Valentine decorations turned out really cute, and the boys were so proud of all the decorations that they were able to help with!

We also enjoyed a Yummy Spaghetti dinner since we were using yarn for our craft project!
