Red & White game

We went to the Red & White game at the U stadium.  It was such a gorgeous day! It got me so excited about football, i love to watch the games! I think it's a fun atmosphere.  I miss going to the games when we were in the student fan club, but I am in luck this year.... we got a season ticket with some friends, so i might be able to catch a game or two! It was fun to take the boys this year, they loved it.  

I love all the red, it looked awesome!  

After the game we went down on the field.  It was fun,  the boys would try to get to the end zone while Kevin tried to block them, it was pretty funny! 

Hopefully this will be a good year....if not, no big deal I still love to watch them play.  

GO UTES!!

T-ball

This spring we signed Ethan up for T-ball.  Although he told me he really wants to golf, he says "it's so easy all you do is hit the ball into the hole." Don't we all wish!  It was fun this year because his cousin Madisyn played on the team with him...she is on the right.  It was fun to watch him play with other kids & see how they all dog pile to get the ball.  He loved  it & would get sad when it was cancelled because of all the crappy days in April.  

He did a pretty good job hitting the ball.  I just enjoyed being outside to watch him.  After the game they would get treats, we would come home & eat them on the porch.  That was too much fun for them :)

Preschool

It has been so great to have summer somewhat here.  I love being able to be outside instead of being stuck in my house all day.  I really am an outdoor girl & love the sunshine.  Jackson & I have loved walking Ethan to school....riding bikes, scooter & wagons.  We have a little carpool we have been in, which has been nice but now that the weather is nice he asks me all the time if we can walk.  He will wake up on the days he goes to school & asks me if  it is shorts weather!  I guess he may take after me with the outdoor thing.  

This will be Ethan's last year at a neighborhood preschool.  He has gone there 2 years & is ready to graduate.  It's been fun to see how excited he gets & to have a few hours for him to be with friends.  I'm gonna miss taking him & how close it is but Jackson will be starting up there in September....crazy! Ethan will be going to another preschool for a year & then start Kindergarten...now that is crazy! They grow up too fast.  I need to take the time to enjoy the little moments more.  

This is a day that i had to take the carpool & Ethan wanted to run home instead. 

FHE

Kevin took pictures of our family night. I guess he was impressed by my play dough story.  For those of you who are keen to the stories in the Book of Mormon.  We had a lesson on  Ammon,  when he was tending the kings sheep & cut off the Laminites arms.  As you can see so clearly the king is the big orange blob & the 4 green blobs are sheep laying down.  It was pretty fun, they were very into it.  

Although Jackson was not to happy that night.  

EASTER

On the 4th of April Kevin's side of the family celebrated Easter.  I was a bad person & took hardly any pictures, just video.  Oh well, did however get some cute pictures of my niece at the bottom! She is such a cutie pants...i love you Caroline! 

We had a fun time at my in-laws.  We all had a good dinner & then went downstairs for the easter egg hunt since it was cold outside.  This year they hid all the eggs in two rooms, the kids lined up in two line & they let them go in a room one at a time and get one egg .  Then they had to go back in line again. It was fun & pretty organized so all the kids weren't running around everywhere....since there were 12 kids.  

I told you she is SO cute!

Movie Night

Every once in awhile we like to have MOVIE NIGHT! We get out blankets, pillows, popcorn & sometime I get the mattress from Jackson's bed & bring it downstairs, so we can all fit on it.  This time we watched Princess & the Frog.  However by the time we start we didn't have enough time to watch the whole movie.  I don't think we have ever watched a whole movie during movie night.  We try to finish the movie later but we usually have to return it to the library or a neighbor by then....oh well.  The boys were pretty cute...during the movie there is a part where the alligator is going down the Bayou with the fireflies & a good song comes on.  Well, they got up and danced all crazy around the room.  I decided to get the soundtrack to the movie & when I got it,  the song was not on there......what a rip.  Oh well I guess I will have to find it somewhere else.  

Playdough

I try my best to have craft time with my boys or something to that affect each day.  This time I decided to make homemade play dough.  I love to make it because it's easy & lasts a long time.  The boys have a fun time playing with it.  As you can see Jackson like to wear no clothes most of the day.  I guess I will need to keep an eye on that :)

Field Trip

Ethan's preschool this year went on a field trip to Hogel Zoo.  It was fun to be there again.  Last time we went when all the animals had babies & this time there were more babies.  I think I like seeing the babies with their parents. 

The only animals we didn't get to see were the Zebras & Polar Bears, I  heard the Zebras passed away :(

We took Riley up there with us from his school.  After the field trip was done I took them all on the train.  I don't know why but I like going on the train rides no matter how small they are.  

After we were done with Hogel Zoo it was lunch time so I asked them where they wanted to go.  Riley suggested Winger's.  She said it was a tradition.  Last year after the field trip her mom & us went to Winger's, so I guess it is a tradition.  I was a little nervous taking 3 kids by myself but it worked out fine, they were great!  When we finally got home, Jackson laid down on my bed & went right to sleep.  I guess we wore him out.  He looks dead in this picture because he is so straight...creepy.
