Some pre-Easter fun!

We started this last weekend off by going to an Easter egg hunt. We got up and ready to be there by 10am. We went to the school where it was last year and nothing was going on. What the heck? This was our favorite place...how could it not be there? Off to Hatch Park to see if there was an egg hunt there. Yay!! We barely made it so out of the car we ran like mad and had 10 seconds to spare before the horn blew and Cayman was off picking up her Easter eggs. It lasted maybe 1 minute and Cayman had fun getting her basket of eggs with candy.

Poor Cooper was just too little and couldn't get anything. But we got a picture! We headed home and I looked up our first egg hunt, luckily it is next week!! We will have one more hunt!!
We decided to go into Bountiful and take the kids to the Bunny Hop at the Rec Center. It was pretty lame. We did get the kids faces painted

and Cayman got to color some easter pictures. Cayman also did a bean bag toss that she won candy at.
She also did a fishing game and won this awesome balloon ship blower!! She loves it!
We came home and I found these bunnies on my floor!! Pretty cute huh?



That afternoon Cayman and I went and got pedicures with my sister Alli. We had so much fun and it was Caymans first time. She loved it!! She is such a princess that I knew this would be so fun for her. Cayman got to soak her feet in the water and then the lady came and dried off her feet. She then painted her toenails in a minty green color and then painted her fingernails. Cayman loved every second of it. She sat so cute and this picture of her with her legs crossed is hilarious. She acts like she is 20 not 3. The end result was pretty great!!
We went and got ice cream after wards and it was just really nice to get out for a little bit and do something girlie. I feel like my life revolves around cleaning, taking care of everyone, changing diapers, holding Cooper, feeding Cooper, picking up toys, cleaning up spit up and doing mommy stuff all day long. I stay in sweats and wear my hair in a ponytail most days and it was nice to be Me again plus the 50 extra pounds I have put on with having my kids. Don't get me wrong, I love doing all the mommy stuff, I love my kids more than life itself but sometimes, I like to be pretty too. This was a great girls day with my favorite little girl!! And a way cool aunt! Thanks to Cory who stayed home with Cooper and had a boys day out. They went on a couple walks outside in the nice sunny weather and saw grandma Connie.
Later that night we decided to go bowling at Orchard lanes.
CJ and Jackie came with us and Cayman loves to be with her Aunts and Uncles.
It was Caymans first time bowling and she had fun picking up her heavy ball, and rolling it down the lane. She wasn't very happy when the ball didn't hit any pins. We had such fun and Cooper was really good.


He loved to stand on the chair and thinks he is really big when he stands up!! Such a cutie!!
We also had another run in with Caymans love...Tim Urban. Of course it isn't the real American Idol singer, but Cayman thinks any boy with shaggy long looking hair that is dark is her Tim Urban. She was giving googily eyes and smiles and we had to get another picture.What a funny kid I have. We had a good time bowling and will do it again soon!! Fun for the whole family!!
Sunday we dressed the kids in one of their Easter outfits and got some pictures. Pretty good looking bunch I might say!!


Cooper is sleeping in his crib really well and most nights will roll over onto his tummy. He can pull himself up and Cory got these of him smashing his face against the crib and finally standing up! What a cutie!


This was all on Saturday so we had a really fulfilling, jam packed day of activities. I can't wait for this weekend and more fun stuff to do!!! Stay Tuned!!

Spring is in the air!

A lot has been going on lately and I better get going! My brother Ryan stopped by for a visit a couple weeks ago and Cayman just loves to see him. It was fun to spend some time with him. My little Cooper just loves to do what Cayman does. He tries get to her and pull her hair, grab her face and give loves. He thinks she is so funny and Cayman loves him too. It is so fun to watch them together.

Cooper has this basket full of toys and his favorite thing to do is empty it out and then play with the basket. It will keep him entertained for a good 30 minutes!!
My Grandma Mead from Idaho came to visit this past couple weeks and she stayed with my cousin Becky and her 2 girls for a couple nights and then she stayed with our family a night. I had Alli and Paul, Becky and Gabi, and Grandma over on Saturday for dinner and it was really nice to get together. We had good food and conversation. It was really fun. We had to bust out CandyLand and what fun that was!!




The next day we Cory and I took the Cayman to her favorite park. Castle park in Farmington/ It is really fun and she loves to run around. Cooper was asleep in the car the whole time. He still sleeps quite a bit. Cayman loves the tire swing and they got going pretty fast. It is a really fun park.


This next picture is of our house and the green grass next to what everyone else's looks like during the winter. Cory sure takes pride in our yard. It looks great all year round!
We have had some really nice days lately that have put me in such a mood for summer! I got out the wagon we got for christmas and put the kids in it and off we went. We had a great walk and then decided to go grab some stuff and take a picnic to the park.
We had fun and Cooper just loved sitting in the wagon like he was all big. Caymnan thought it was really neat too! We then played at the park.



We went to St. George this last week and had a really good time in weather that was in the 70s. It was heaven. I gave Cooper his first taste of licorice, and boy did he love it. When I took it away from him because it was getting to soft, he sure threw a tantrum. He was so sad. It was kinda funny because he is so mellow. Needless to say, he loved it.

Here are some pics of them outside the hotel. Cayman just had to stand in the star!


We were able to go swimming outside and our hotel had a really nice outdoor pool. A shallow edge about a foot and a half deep and then it just got deeper. Cayman was able to sit and stand and swim pretty much on her own. It was lovely. Cooper loved the baby float and had a good time in the pool. It was so much fun!! I can't wait for the summer and swimming! Wahooo!!!




That night we went on a hiking trail over a bridge and river and had a good walk.
It was fun to be outside and Cayman loved being able to run all over.
Poor Cooper once again was asleep and missed it!We also went mini golfing while we there. Cayman got 3 hole in ones with the help of dad. Cory didn't get any on his turns. I had to take Cayman to the bathroom and there was someone in the stall next to her. Cayman tooted and said excuse me, then she tooted again and said excuse me, then I asked if her tummy hurt and she said "I am just fine thank you. Then the lady next to her tooted and Cayman said really loudly "Excuse you!" I couldn't help but laugh my butt off. It was so dang funny. The lady didn't come out until after we were gone. I Wonder why? It was a good night but Cayman didn't understand at the end why the hole took her ball. She was pretty upset.




The last day there we went to a little park and let the kids swing on the swings. Cooper and Cayman love the swings. Cooper will just laugh and laugh. It is so dang cute!

My sister Mel also was here with her hubby Phil and we got to see them and go to dinner with my other sister Alli. It was fun to get together again. Cayman sure loves her Aunts and Uncles! We have had a good time this past couple weeks and sure can't wait for more fun!!
