Memorial Day Swim Party

Memorial Day Hike

Zoo Trip

Savannah watching the Cheetah. She wants one as a pet. She thinks Tabby, our cat, would get along nicely with it.

Savannah holding Ryker's hand. Dylan felt left out so he stuck his hand out for Savannah to hold as well.

Jenn and Ryker on the train ride.

Here we are on the train ride. I had bought some cotton candy for Savannah right before the ride and she was begging for me to open it. I didn't want to open it right then because Dylan would want some and I didn't want sticky hands. So I was looking for an excuse not to open it, when I saw a sign that said no food on the train. I pointed out the sign to Savannah. And then, Savannah (with her favorite question) asks why? So, I explained that the animals would want to get on the train and eat it. So she held on to it so tight the whole ride. When we went past the Buffalo she started freaking out. She seriously thought it was going to come and eat her precious cotton candy.

Swimming Lessons

Savannah with her new goggles. Of course she picked pink!! She hates water in her eyes so I wondered how swimming lessons were going to go. She loves swimming lessons and she actually puts her face in the water and gets water in her eyes.

Here is my little monkey in the water. He loves to splash and splash and splash. By the time it's time to go home I am completely wet from his splashes.

Zach thinks he is too old for swimming lessons and doesn't like to go. But I let him swim while we are waiting for his class to start and the new water gun from his birthday party helps.

Zach Birthday Party - Classic Fun Center

Happy Birthday Zach!! Zach is the last to have his birthday out of all his friends. He got to go to many birthday parties before he had his. He chose to have his part at Classic Skating. The boys had so much fun. They didn't want to leave. They rode their scooters, played laser tag, bounced on the giant inflatables and played tag in the jungle. They had a blast - their hair was soaked with sweat! It was disgusting!

Here they are getting ready to play laser tag. On the ride down to Classic Skating the kids were talking about playing laser tag. Zach's friend Jack yells out, "Zach's really easy to get." Well, needless to say Zach's team was the losing team. But that's okay he had tons of fun shooting guns!

Zach's laser tag team. The blue team. Come on Zach - you are supposed to pick red for Utah!!

Happy Birthday Zach! 7 Years old!

Easter 2009 (St. George)

We had a great Spring break down in St. George. It was nice to get away and into warmer weather. Saturday was the only day it rained and it was warm enough to go swimming the rest of the time.

Zach and Savannah loved the pool and couldn't get enough. Zach had to yell, "CANNONBALL" everytime he jumped in the pool.

Matt and Zach loved playing raquetball. I was impressed by how well Zach did. I guess all the hours of playing Wii Sports has really helped out his hand/eye coordination.


Savannah and Dylan had lots of fun swimming in the baby pool. Savannah was the best pool cleaner ever. Everytime a "feather" (leaf) would fall in the pool she would quickly scoop it out.

Savannah comes up with some interest names for things. She enjoyed going on walks and looking for "jungle trees."

We celebrated Dylan's first birthday while down in St. George. We started out the day by going to Fiesta Fun, playing and eating at McDonald's. We should have bought stock in McDonald's before going on vacation. I think we ate there at least once a day.

Springtime

Savannah loves picking flowers. This is one of the warm days we have had this spring. On these warm days we drop everything and play outside all day. I keep forgetting to put sunscreen on them and poor Dylan had a sunburned bald head.

Don't they look like twins! Zach had so much fun driving Dylan around. Dylan didn't want to get out. He kept trying to reach over and grab the steering wheel. I know he can't wait to get big enough to drive the tractor. Zach is an excellent driver and back out of the tight spot in the garage without hitting my car. Savannah -- well, let's say she needs some practice.

Happy Birthday Dylan

Incredible Spring Powder!!!

5 Things I love about you!

Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays. I love making heart cookies with the kids to give out to our friends and neighbors. It is a great time to tell everybody how much you love and appreciate them.

Here are 5 things I love about each person in my family.

Matt

1. I love how organized and on top of things he is. He is out of town on business for 2 weeks and he has taken care of everything for me so I don't have to worry about a thing!

2. Sense of humor. He is always making me laugh!

3. A fabulous father. He loves playing with Zach, Savy and Dylan. Zach adores Dad and thinks he is the greatest. Savannah has him wrapped around her little finger. Dylan thinks Daddy is #1.

4. His willingness to help people in need. He is very caring person.

5. I love how he worries about everything so I don't have to.

Zach

1. I love his silly grin with his missing teeth.

2. I love when he gets excited about something he has to tell you over and over again.

3. I love his arts and crafts projects that he gives Dad as presents daily.

4. I love his Lego creations. He is very inventive with what he makes.

5. I love the way he can get Dylan to laugh like noboy else.

Savannah

1. I love how she tells me she loves me and that I am her best friend like a hundred times a day. I cherish that because I know one day that will end.

2. I love that she really and truly believes that she is a princess.

3. I love to go shopping with her. She has become quite a shopaholic. Sometimes she asks if we can go shopping.

4. I love to watch her dance and twirl. Her favorite clothing is anything that spins. We went shopping this weekend and a found 2 skirts I wanted to try on. While we are in the dressing room she asked me to twirl to see if the skirts would twirl. One spun really well and other one didn't. I bet you can guess which one she wanted me to buy.

5. I love her sweet and caring personality. She always brightens my day.

Dylan

1. I love the way he scoots across the floor instead of crawling. I will have to get it on video because it is so funny!

2. I love his giggle when I tickle him. He is so ticklish. I barely have to touch him.

3. I love the way his flaps his arms to the music while I work out. He always checks to makes sure that I am watching him do it.

4. I love his snuggles and cuddles.

5. I love that I am his favorite person. He is a momma's boy and won't go to anyone if I am anywhere near.
