car, swim, bike, and baseball

Newest addition to our family is the van! Joshua was so thrilled it was better than Christmas for him to get a new car. He was yelling with joy when he followed Dad out to the garage to see what was in it. We feel a little poor now, but very blessed to have another car.

Dallin has taken over Joshua's bike so I am thinking it is time to upgrade Joshua we will see how he does he is a little cautious about things so hopefully it will be an easy transition. We are also thinking about putting him in swim lessons. We went swimming at Aunt Jenny's and had a great time. I think swimming lessons will be good for him.

I haven't been able to take too many pictures lately because this is how Joshua looks in all of them. He thinks he is funny.

We got to go to the Ranger game last night. We had a great time. I love going to sporting events you can enjoy company and a game at the same time.

My boys look alike?

I keep thinking Joshua is looking more and more like Michael. Dallin to me looks like Kira. They sure are all cute though ;)

I do realize these are not the most flattering pictures, but I was trying to get pictures with the same look on their faces.

Our Flowers

I love that most of these were already planted when we moved in, so my job is to try to keep them alive and keep coming back. This year we already have the irises, lilies of the valley, and daffodils come and go. I do have a hard time trying to keep the boys out of them though. We also tried planting food as well this year but so far only the zucchini and carrots are thriving. We are still working on our green thumb.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. The boys slept in until 8AM. Michael made french toast, and it was delicious. Michael got me a mop that I have been wanting. I also am getting a new van! Well, new to us anyway. We should pick it up on Wednesday. Ahhh Crazy

I just love being a Mom to my boys. They are so cute and I just love them. They have taught me so much, and have helped me become a better person. :)

We are also very grateful for our Mom's. Our Mom's have taught us so much. We are very blessed. We always have the love and support that we need. We really do have the best Mom's! We hope they have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Camp Out

We had a great time at the Ward Camp out. We arrived on a very sticky hot Friday, but after unloading we got to take a dip in the lake. The kids had a great time splashing around and playing in the sand.

We roasted hot dogs. The rain held out most the night. We would get a little shower here and there but nothing severe. The kids including Michael all played capture the flag. They all seemed to have a great time.

I was finally able to bet my boys down around 9 PM. They woke up once when the older kids were playing hide and seek and ran into the tent, but they did rather well. Joshua woke up around 2AM saying his hips itched. I looked at it and he had a little black beetle crawling on him. Once that was taken care of we were good to sleep for a few more hours until the thunderstorm hit. Our tent held up but we got a little wet, when the wind would whip the fly up a little. The boys were a little nervous, but we survived and were good to go in the morning. We had a yummy breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fruit. We are so blessed to be in such a fun Ward, with great friends.

We played at the lake until nap time and then headed home. The boys had a good time digging in the sand and playing in the water. Joshua burned his back a little, but had a great time. The boys really do love camping.

We were all very tired at the end, but only the boys got rest.

Fun Weekend

I have lots of pictures to show, so I decided just to do a collage. The above pictures are of Michael's trip to Utah. He had a great time. He did feel bad that he couldn't spend a lot of time with everyone. He said it was great to have all of the siblings under one roof. We did miss him, but knew he would be well taken care of. :) The funeral went well, and it sounded like everyone had a good time. Michael said Grandma DeHart had just over a hundred descendants. Pretty Neat!

We had a fun weekend. We went to the zoo this past Friday. It was a gorgeous day. The boys even got out their suits and went in the little creek. We spent a few minutes at the carnival on Friday night with the boys. They loved it. They love the lights and all of the cars and motorcycles. On Saturday we had a baby shower for our good friend. We had a great food, and had a good time. The Dad's took the kids on the DART train. The kids had a great time. Joshua didn't mention to Michael that he had to go to the bathroom until it was too late and no where to go on the train and peed all over Michael. Poor guy! It is a good story to tell!

Grandma and Grandpa Deprived???

I don't have very many good pictures of my parents on this computer, so here you go, they are on a tractor

I also don't have very many pictures of Michael's parents on this computer, so this one will have to do as well.

My boys sure do miss their Grandparents.

I know everyone is working on their Easter posts, but we used Jenny's camera this weekend and I don't have a cord to get the pictures off of her camera so we will have to wait for that. I just thought I would share our weekend. All weekend long Joshua would push chairs together and would fly to Grandma's house. He was very detailed he would make sure Jenny beeped his ticket. He would turn the air on while he was on the plane and then have Jenny give him a drink. Once he reached his destination he would have me pretend to be Grandma. He would call me Grandma, and we would go and do whatever he wanted. It was so funny. I just decided it must be time for him to visit with his Grandparents. Dallin just goes along with the fun. We will have to make some plans I guess.
