Easter

We had a really great Easter weekend! On Saturday we woke up early to go to Nik & Nate's soccer game at 9am (it was freezing & rainy and I never remember the camera) and then we came home and got our coats to go to the city Easter egg hunt.
Here are all the boys with the really scrawny easter bunny.

Nik & Nate with all their loot. They really just wanted all of the "candy canes".

Noah would not move from one spot so he only got a few things! Such a crazy kid!

After the easter egg hunt we ram to walmart to get some sure jell because we were headed over to Grandma Jeppersons to make strawberry jam (yummy!!). They had an Easter bunny at walmart and Noah really wanted to get a picture with him even though Nik & Nate wanted nothing to do with him. Such a cute kid!
Then on Sunday the boys found their Easter baskets and were so excited to get money (I didn't want to do candy this year so we did change instead, amazing how excited 3&5 year olds get about a dollar in change!) and they finally got their new pillowcases they'd been wanting (and needing) for a while now! Nate got Spiderman, Nik Batman, & Noah Transformers! We actually made it to church early and got a seat on the benches which never happens! Then in the afternoon we got to go to Grandma & Grandpa Jeppersons for a super fun Easter egg hunt and then to Grandma Cathy & Grandpa Brents for dinner and FHE. It was a fun day and the boys had a really great time playing with cousins! Thanks to all our family for making it a great Easter! We Love You!

Happy 50th Dad!

So last week my dad turned 50! We all met up at Mi Ranchito to surprise him when he walked in, although I'm pretty sure he knew we'd be there! It was a fun time especially when they made him wear a huge sombrero to sing Happy Birthday to him!
After dinner we went back to my mom & dads house to eat cake and ice cream and play rockband all night long! I was just glad my boys didn't have school the next morning! My mom got a cake with a picture on it...yep that's my stylin dad back in the day! Love the glasses!

And here he is now looking better than ever! He is still in better shape than I am (sad but true!) Maybe one day he'll slow down enough for us to catch up but hopefully not for a long, long time! I love you dad you're the best dad and grandpa anyone could ask for! I hope you had a great day!

So it's been a while....

It has been quite some time since I have posted, just been lazy really! But I thought I'd get back in the habit since this is the only journal/scrapbooking I do! So things have been a little crazy lately, at the end of February (for those of you who may not know) I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy so I had to go in for surgery to have one of my tubes taken out. It was kind of scary and really sad but it went well and I healed really fast! I'm still not sure that it wasn't a sign telling us we should be done having kids but we'll see. Clint's answer to it all was "maybe we should just get a dog instead" Love that guy! I guess we'll just see what the future holds for us in that area! Clint thought it would be funny to take a whole bunch of pictures of me right before I went into surgery so I am posting this one just for him!
Yes I know I look stylin!

Another thing we did last month was take the boys to a UVU Basketball game this is how well they enjoyed it...

Needless to say we didn't stay too long!
It was pretty boring and even the dancers and cheerleaders weren't great! But oh well they were free tickets and I got a churro- can't complain about that!!

All in all life is pretty great for us! I am so blessed to have three beautiful boys and a wonderful husband who loves me no matter what! Love you sweetie!

Noah's BIG BooBoo!

Noah has a really bad habit of jumping on our couches. We have tried to tell him on multiple occasions that he is going to get hurt but of course he just says he won't and continues to jump. Well on Sunday he was jumping on our blue couch and fell off the highest part right onto his face!
This is the result!
At first I thought it was just a little cut that was dripping blood down his face but when Clint tried to wipe it off we realized it was a cut that went all the way down the side of his face!
I think we are going to have to buy some mederma real soon!
But of course it didn't keep him from jumping on the couches. He is right back to his old self! We love you booger!

can we go to the "bug museum"?

So last week we were trying to think of something to do with the boys. I was having a hard time trying to come up with something fun but cheap! Luckily I remembered the boys asking when we could go to the "bug museum" again. The "bug museum" is actually the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum at BYU and Nik & Nate had gone on a field trip there last year with their pre-school class and loved it! Best of all it is FREE (my favorite part)!! Here are some of our favorite pics from the day!

They were most excited to see the polar bear. Nate loves polar bears!


This is all my boys watching a movie about polar bears hunting. Must've been pretty good judging by the look on Clint's face! Love you sweetie! I also love that Noah just sprawls out on the floor like he owns the place!


The boys loved all the bears especially the ones you could get so close too.


I love the lions!


Had to get pictures with the animals that are in Alaska with Uncle Chris!
The Moose and the Zodiak Bear!

Couldn't leave without getting a picture with "Shasta the Liger"

We had such a good time and Clint took us to Stans afterward for a yummy ice cream cone!
So if anyone is looking for something fun to do with the kids that is super cheap I definitely recomend the "bug museum"!

dinosaur museum

So our membership at thanksgiving point was expiring this month so we made one last run to the dinosaur museum (the boys favorite place on earth!) They always have so much fun and would go every day if we'd let them! Here are a few pics from our day there!

This is the boys playing in the "wet sand".
This is their favorite part of the museum!


Here they are sitting on "Cera".
Needless to say they are big fans of all the Land Before Time movies.


This is them digging in the "dry sand". They love uncovering all the bones!

I'm hoping I can talk Clint into getting a membership there this year too we had so much fun the past year going to the museum, the farm, & the gardens(my favorite)! Love it!

the other lost tooth

So Nate has lost his other tooth! It didn't seem that long since my last post but I was looking at the date on the picture and it was clear back on Jan. 27th that he lost the 2nd one! Crazy how time flies. We almost lost this one too, I was brushing his teeth and he looked up at me and said mom I think my tooth fell out and I said well where is it and he points to the sink and it is sitting halfway down the drain! Luckily I was able to get a Q-tip and guide it out! Phew! Nate was pretty worried (he needed it to put under his pillow for the tooth fairy) But we got it out and he got his dollar from the tooth fairy!
