Church History Museum

We took the kids to the Church History Museum. They really enjoyed seeing all the things from pioneer times. They especially loved the children's section of the museum.

Summer 2011

I have been horrible at taking pictures this summer. I either have forgot to bring my camera or brought my camera but was too busy wrangling kids to take pictures. We had a fun summer but are ready for school to start. Jackson will start 1st grade and Blake will be in preschool. That will leave 4 hours for Hayden and me to bond. It will be great to go grocery shopping with only one child. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! Here are a few pictures at This is the Place. The boys had a blast.

Last day of Kindergarten

Jackson had a little year-end program for his last day in Kindergarten. I can't believe how big he is getting.

Fun at the zoo

We went to the opening day of the dinosaurs at the zoo. There was lots of fun stuff to do. Jackson is working hard at the dinosaur dig.

The zoo had a dinosaur puppet. The boys thought it was really cool until it's nose touched Hayden on the nose. He freaked out and Chris had to hold him until the show was over.

We had to take the classic Hogle Zoo pictures.

The boys had a lot of fun looking at all the dinosaurs.

They ask every day if they can go see them again.

Red Butte Garden

We went to Red Butte Garden for Arbor day. The kids had tons of fun. We would have stayed all day if I was prepared with lunch. Here are just a bunch of random pictures.

Easter

The boys were not the best at holding still while I tried to get a picture in their cute Easter outfits. Sadly, these are the best I got.

Hayden was so happy to get a chocolate bunny and a "monkey" (lemur) for Easter.

The Easter Bunny gave the boys some hermit crabs. They were so excited to get a new pet!!

T-ball

I apologize for my crappy pictures. I really think that I need a new camera. Mine is not taking as good of pictures as it used to.

I think that Blake is pretty fun to watch. He actually pays attention to the game and dives for every ball when he is in the outfield. He told his coach that he doesn't want to play on first base because he wants to chase the ball around.

Soccer

Jackson is having a blast in soccer this year.

Easter Carnival

The boys had a lot of fun at the University Village Easter carnival.

They each planted some flowers. None of them would pose for me so this is the best picture I got with their pots.

Nursery Rhyme Program

The Kindergarten class held their annual Nursery Rhyme program. Jackson was a cow. He is on the first row, second one to the right.

I couldn't get the best pictures. There were way too many parents trying to snap pics of their kids. It was a cute program and turned out well.

Hayden is 2!!

I am such a fabulous mom that I forgot to take any pictures of Hayden's birthday. I blame this on the horrible cake experience that I had before the party. I was making him a cake like the one below. It pretty much is the same thing but I wasn't going to put a Buzz on the top.

I couldn't find my regular frosting recipe so I just thought that I would try a different one. Big mistake. I had the cakes stacked, all the fondant pieces cut out, and was just sticking them where they needed to go. All the sudden, the whole cake started to shift and the next thing I know, frosting and raspberry filling are coming out of the bottom of the cake underneath the fondant. I could not get the cake to stop falling so I gave up and made Hayden cupcakes instead. I was so depressed after spending so much time on the cake that I didn't even think to take any pictures. Poor boy! Hopefully he knows he is loved even though I never take pictures of him.
