A Warm Day!

We haven't had many warm days this Spring. It has been really weird weather.  We have been waiting everyday since Easter to try on our new suits. Finally on the 4th of May it was warm enough to head to the water walk and Preston didn't have Kindergarten. It was a perfect afternoon. Thanks Bradi for calling! This was way better than doing the laundry.

Field Day

Field Day is always a school day we look forward to at our house. Both boys did great! I don't know where they got their hops from, but both won 1st place in the Broad Jump! Way to go boys. 

Sliderzz at the Jazz Game

These are a lucky bunch of boys! The Sliderzz and their dads were able to go to the Jazz playoff game on April 23rd. How fun would it be to hang out with your some of your friends at a Jazz Game? I have to say I was a little jealous. Maybe next time the moms will have to take them! :)  The next morning they got up and played a couple of scrimmage games in SLC and then headed home. Sounds like a fun weekend to me!

I have to say I had fun too. I went to Natalie's and we ordered take out and made bows. We decided the next craft night will have to be minus the extra 6 kids we were entertaining in between the glueing. We still had a great night, just didn't get many bows made!

Did you notice Landon's eye? He got pegged with a ball at practice a couple of days earlier. He kind of looked like an Avatar there for a little while. Didn't seemed to bother him, I think he kind of liked the attention.

It Is Official..

It is Official... I am OLD. 

On April 22 I turned 30. 

Ever since then things have been falling apart. Let me just name a few: 

1. I have age spots on my hands. 

2. With this pregnancy I have gained A LOT more weight and I am only 5 months along. 

3. I have gray hair, there are wrinkles around my eyes and the list goes on... 

But, with turning 30 came some good things too.

I better start from the beginning.

 Gavin sent me flowers that morning, I love flowers so that was fun! Then I called him to go to lunch with me, but he had a lot to do for work, so I ate lunch by myself at home. (I kind of had a pity party about it.) Then at 5:00 we went to dinner just the two of us. Preston had a baseball game at 7:00, Mom came over to watch the kids and we headed to Texas Roadhouse. It was raining and Preston's game ended up being canceled. Gavin had told me that we were going to just have our parents come over and have cake after the game, because it would be to late for a real party. After the game was canceled Gavin said,  "Dang we should have called all the family now that there isn't going to be a game."

But he never called anyone. (I again kind of had a pity party, in my mind.) After dinner he said, "Hey lets go shopping since we don't have to hurry home."
Sweet! I thought. Then he drove to Walmart and we bought a mat for the car. Nice. After that we stopped at Big 5 and Rebel Sports and bought GAVIN some new shoes. (Okay my idea of shopping was a lot different. I wanted some new clothes, maybe?! Nope, Gavin got shoes.)

As we were driving home he told me he got a text from his dad that said he had left my present at his house and wanted to know if we would stop and get it. As we pulled up to the house, Gavin motioned for me to get out and go get it. I LOST it!

 I said "Let me think about this day for just a second. First I ate lunch alone, then we went shopping and bought YOU new shoes and a floor mat.  Your mom completely forgot my birthday for the second year in a row and now you want ME to get out and go GET my OWN present!"
I then jumped out of the car, slammed the door and ran up to Dennis front door. I flung it open only to hear,

"SURPRISE!"

All of our family was there with a big sign to wish me Happy Birthday! Oh man did I feel dumb! I had a big pity party for no reason. 

All in all it turned out to be a fun day. The surprise was great and I was happy to  spend my birthday with my family and friends. They are really all that matter anyway. 

One Big Pig!

Preston has an amazing teacher. She really goes the extra mile in everything she does. Last year Landon was able to go see her pig, and she made sure that this year Preston was able to come too. The only difference was that this year's pig was feisty! Right when Preston got in the corral with it, it ran right after him wanting to play. Pres wasn't to sure about that, so we never really got a great picture. I can't say I blame him, that pig weights a lot more than my 30 pounder. :) He liked Cam and Kenzie's sheep better, maybe because there was no charging involved!

Lets Go Fly a Kite

Preston received a free kite at the Kite Festival for reading. We went to fly it only to find out our kite skills are not that hot, but we had fun anyway!

Addie's Birthday

All Addie wanted for her birthday was cake. That made things really easy. I love little people parties! It was a fun day filled with family and especially cake! We all love this little girl and don't know what we would do with her. She is growing right before our eyes. She talks a mile a minute, and carries a purse with her most of the time. Happy Birthday Sweetie! We love you.
