Mothers Day 2012

 I love a good photo bomb.

For Mothers day this year, we went with the Miles to the Train museum, dinosaur par, and Maddox.  It was a busy, busy day.  It was so much fun spending the day with family.  The boys loved chasing the model train and the museum and were pretty worn out by the time we made it to the Dino park.  Tyler pretty much wanted to wander by himself, so I just followed him to where he wanted to be.  The kids love those two parks in Ogden and often ask to go there.  We had a blast and were very tired when we got home after that busy day.

Best friends

Most of the time these two boys are the best of friends.  I am so grateful that they can and will play with each other and keep each other entertained.  They sure do keep me on my toes though.  With two very active little boys, I am constantly cleaning messes, cleaning spills, running around the house, and chasing them around the park.  It is so much fun being a mom.  I couldn't ask for a better, more fulfilling job.

EASTER 2012

Easter was pretty fun this year.  The Miles always have an Easter Egg hunt in their back yard and so we went and did that with all the kids.  They found so many eggs and sooooo much candy.  I found out that Jason loves marshmallow bunnies and chicks.  The Easter Bunny also brought the kids a fun loot.  Coloring activities and Gator Golf.  We are so very grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives and for the Atonement. 

Hike

My dear sister and her family were able to visit one last time before their big move across the United States.  We had so much fun laughing and visiting.  My family likes to hike, so we hiked up City Creek and took some awesome family pictures.  I will miss you guys.  The kids had a blast as did us adults.

Grandma

 

In March we were able to attend the funeral of my Great Aunt Marsha.  I have only met her a handful of times in my life, but she certainly knew who I was.  She would call me every year on my birthday. After I was married, she not only called me, but Cory and the boys on their birthday as well.  I thought the funeral was pretty special, and I was sooo grateful I was able to attend.  While we were there, we were able to see Grandma Marie.  We don't see her too often.  I loved taking pictures with her and holding her hand.  I love her smile and the brightness in her eyes.

First loose tooth

I guess our boy is a little late at loosing teeth, but he finally lost his first tooth.  It was sooo funny because he came up with the idea to tie a string around it and pull it out.  We tried thread, then yarn, and finally Cory came up with the brilliant idea of dental floss.  After tying it on the tooth and a little yank, the tooth flew right out.  Yeah.  Tyler has now lost two teeth.  He loves the gold coins the tooth fairy brings too!!!!

Silly boy

Our silly Tyler.  He is such an awesome kid and makes me laugh in so many ways.  One day I noticed it was quiet....a little too quiet.  I started checking around at the boys....I peeked in the bathroom and this is what Tyler had done with all the toilet paper I had just bought.  Too funny.

Jason's tubes and adenoids

 

Okay, so I know I haven't done this blogging thing for awhile.  But, I needed to do a bit of catch up.  A few months ago Jason was able to get tubes in his ears.  He was getting so many ear infections.  Yeah.  His ears aren't so bad now...he also got his adenoids removed.  I thought it would really clear up his nose problems.  But, they are still there...not to the extent they were, but sometimes he does have a pretty nasty nose.  TMI, I know.

 

Update: Jason didn't have his adenoids out, since the doctor didn't see any problem with them specifically – hopefully that doesn't turn out to be a mistake.
