Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial day weekend we went to Idaho. First, we went to Pocatello and threw a baby shower for Nicole. It was way fun to see everyone. Then, we went to Victor and hung out with Todd's family. Then we went to my house and played. We also had the opportunity to visit a lot of our families graves. This was a great experience for our family.

This is Grandpa Grover's headstone.

Uncle Adam bought a new motorbike for his kids and he lets all the grandkids ride it. We tried really hard to teach Ryker how to ride it by himself. We let him do it twice by himself while we stood on the side of him. Both times... he ran into trees. It was so hilarious!

We also practiced some golfing

Played in the dirt

Drove miniature cars

This was Todd's two cousins headstones in Pocatello.

This is Grandpa Browning. He hopped on the scooter and was ready to go!

This is Nicole's baby shower. I was in charge of the games. We played baby bingo and the price is right. It was a lot of fun. The food was yummy, the decorations cute and everything turned out great. Thanks to everyone that came.






So the weekend before memorial day Aunt Tassi bought Ryker and Sadie some tickets to go see Thomas the Train in person. It was so fun!! We went to the Heber City Railroad and got to ride on Thomas and see Sir Toppam Hat. The kids loved it!

Blowing bubbles...........

They even got Thomas the train tatoos

And they got their own balloon hats

Here is Thomas

And Sir Toppam Hat

What have we been up too?

So there is a story behind this picture. One day we were going to go to the library... Ryker asked me if he could take his blanket to the library. I told him no. He asked several more times and I told him no every single time. So when it was time to go, I told him to take his blanket up to his room and get his jacket on. So, he went upstairs and came downstairs looking like this and said..... "K mom, I'm ready to go.... He thought he was being so sneaky. What was hilarious about it all was the shirt that he chose to wear..............






Ryker has some very exciting news.... He can ride his bike without training wheels!!!!!

He is so proud and happy that he can do it... he hasn't been off his bike since. I taught him how to do it and he picked up on it really fast.



Ryker has been playing on a soccer team since March. He has gotten really good. At first it was like horrible he would like stand and pick his nose while everyone kicked the ball around him. But after lots of Daddy practice time he got to be really good at the end of the season he knew what to do and he loved it.




One day his coach decided to try him as goaly. That didn't go so well...




If you look at Ryker in this picture he is totally closing his eyes and praying that the ball doesn't hit him....Lets just say he was way better at kicking it in the goal.





With the recent nice weather we have been outside a lot and the kids love to swim. Our neighbors and the kids have swam every nice day.

Mothers day

So I haven't blogged for a while its been busy. Mothers Day was awesome, here are some pictures. Todd spoiled me as always and made it a very special day!




WE HAVE BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!.............................. WE are expecting again!!!!!!! YAY! We are due Oct. 26. I am 20 weeks. Had the ultrasound and everything looked good. We are going to let this baby be a suprise so we don't know what we are having.



This is what I woke up to on mothers day.. breakfast in bed. Todd got the kids ready for church too, I didn't do anything but relax and eat my breakfast it was awesome!

Easter 2011

The kids had a blast this year with Easter. They are both old enough that they get it which made it even funner. Both of Sadie's Grandma's got her an Easter dress. The white one is from Grandma G and the pink is from Grandma Sherman. Grandma Sherman made the dress herself for Sadie.. pretty impressive. She loved both of them and called herself a princess when she wore them.


Easter day the kids woke up and found lots of eggs and looked for their Easter baskets.

In their Easter baskets they got scooters, candy and kites. That day we went to the park and flew kites. It was fun!



I got spoiled too on Easter... the bunny brought me a new way nice camping mat for this summer's camping adventures.

Then after the hunt we went to church. After church we had a big Easter dinner with our neighbors Ralph and Tom. It was yummy I made slow roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, salad, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, and strawberry shortcake with whip cream... yummy!
