Jason, Jason, Jason

Well, it is official. Jason has been diagnosed with being highly allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. We have known he's had problems for awhile now. We finally decided to take him to the allergist. He was a bit concerned with the size of the reaction to the prick test. He also told us not to take Jason to FIVE GUYS BURGER and FRIES....what? It was a sad day. I guess Cory and I will only be eating there on dates. He also prescribed and EPI-Pen that he said to carry everywhere. Just in case his reactions get worse. We have been careful not to give him anything with peanuts since we discovered his allergy a few months ago. Poor kid will never be able to try a snickers......

He is super adorable though!

Dave Matthews Band Concert

Last week we were able to go to one of our favorite bands concerts...The Dave Matthews Band. It was awesome. We have had the tickets since February so we were pretty excited. They were giving a free concert in Salt Lake. But, you still had to get tickets. We were able to get some and so we went with a few of our favorite friends.

The stage.

Misty and Tim, April and Andy, Jared and Denise, and Jack

Dave and Ashely, and US!!!

We are sooooo excited.

Jenni and Ted!! Do you see Dave in the background?

shooting

A few months ago we discovered my parents love for shooting. A secret they have kept from us for a while now. HA HA!!! Well, now that the secret is out, we were able to go with them to shoot some targets.

Good picture of Dad loading the gun.

Tyler was very interested in watching us and seeing what we were doing.

Here I go.....

This is my favorite gun.

Tyler and Jason mostly hung out in the van watching movies and playing with their toys. We put the back seat down so that there was lots of room. Usually there was an adult with them so we could take turns shooting and watching the boys. It was fun. Tyler liked to come watch once in awhile.

Mom...she is such a good shot. I can't believe it. She comes out and BANG, BANG, BANG...all the targets are down. HA!

I did not do good on the paper targets. I liked to shoot the water bottles.

AHHHH it is so loud.

Cory shooting Grandpa Hobbs old gun. I did not like that gun. It hurt.

The Boys

I've been playing around with the new face-centered movie feature in Picasa 3 and created a slideshow for each boy using pictures from the past six months or so. It's a cool feature, but it doesn't give you much control, at least that I could find, to specify where a picture is placed on screen or which order the pictures are shown in.

I uploaded these in 720p, so choose the HD version and watch it full screen if you're really feeling the Tyler and Jason love!

New to us VAN!!!!

Yess...it is true....we have now become members of the van club. We have recently purchased a 2003 Honda Odyssey. I love it.....I mean love it. It has been so wonderful to drive it. We have so much more room. I even have room now to give the young women a ride home after mutual. It is so nice to have. We are so grateful for it.

Two Honda's now. WOOT!!!

Family fun pictures

We borrowed Cory's Dad's fancy, dancy camera for a few days, and here are some really fun shots of the boys.

Yummy ICEE!!!

I love my handsome man!!!
Such a great picture!!

Being silly.

Fun night at the hotel

Instead of driving all the way home in one day, we stayed the night at a hotel with everyone. It was so much fun. I think it was a race to see who could change into their swimming suits first. We pretty much dropped of all of the luggage and swam for a couple hours. It was so much fun to have the pool all to ourselves.

Jason trying to blow up the swimming ring.

Abby in her goggles.

Juliette and Madi sharing the body board.

Tyler swam so much better while wearing this ring and the arm floaties. He didn't want anyone to hold him or help him. He was usually scared to swim at the Seaside pool by himself, but we couldn't use swimming devices there. He loved it. I think it's almost time for swimming lessons.

Abby is a really good swimmer.

Jason loved floating around in this tube. He loves to get wet and loves the water.

The girls again.

Cute family in the hot tub.

Good shots of me jumping off of the edge.

Time to go home.

We had such a great time in Seaside. We didn't want to go home. We loved swimming everyday and we loved the condo. What a fun vacation we had with the family. It was so fun to go with everyone. Hopefully we can do it again.

Misc. and Cannon Beach

Now, don't laugh too hard at Cory and I in these body suits. They were worth the hassle to put them on. It was so cold in the ocean that we could only stay in there for 20 minutes, but with the body suits, we stayed in there for a few hours. They are Mom and Dad's suits, but we were able to squeeze into them for the day. I was laughing so hard putting it on. Mom had to help me and we almost didn't get it over my butt...but we did. Thanks for letting us use them to go body boarding.

This is the pool area. I think we spend more time in the hotel pools than in the ocean. The pools were so warm though. Tyler and Jason loved the kiddie pool. It was only like 2 feet deep so they could walk around it by themselves. I think they liked the freedom and independence of it. I really enjoyed the hot tubs. We kept getting in trouble though because we had Jason in there with us. All he wanted to do was sit in the hot tubs. The rules were you couldn't have children under 6 in there. We kept getting told the rules by various employees.

Another view of the sunset from our balcony. It was so gorgeous.

CANNON BEACH....

Cannon Beach was only a few minutes away so we decided to see what it was like there.

The sand was the same...ha ha...except that they had a little more seashells than ours.

Tyler just plopped down on the sand and rolled and rolled around.

Two cute lades in front of Haystack Rock.

Mom and Dad.

What in the world...Cory....!!!!

I like this picture of Dad a lot.

Jason had fallen asleep immediately so Cory laid down with him to make him more comfortable. I just love this sling.
