Church Easter activity

After Home Depot, we headed over to Mom and Dad's ward activity. It was sooo fun. There were so many activities for the kids to do. Tyler loved the animals. He spent a lot of his time at the animal booth. Unfortunately he is very allergic to animals. We gave him benadryl and puffs from Jason's inhaler, but later that evening his breathing turned into wheezing and he had to be taken to the E.R. due to a severe asthma attack. Two days later he is still having troubles breathing, but has liquid steroids and a nebulizer that he needs to take 4 times a day. Dang bunnies.


He is so tender towards animals. He loves them.


Cute little bunny.


He likes to look at them right in their face.


This one is a chick. He really liked them too.


We were having so much fun.


Too Cute.

Home Depot workshops

The Saturday right before Easter, Home Depot was having a special Earth Day project. I told Mom and Dad and Jenni to bring the girls. It was awesome. I usually go to these on the first Saturday of every month, but this was a special one. The boys love doing the projects every month.


We're all ready to start.

What a fun way to start the day.

Tyler

It has been awhile since I posted about Tyler. He is an awesome little boy. He makes me laugh pretty hard sometimes. Just the other day he came running into our room and said that he saw a monster...I asked him what kind of a monster. He paused and told me that he thought it was the Holy Ghost. We laughed about that and I had to explain to him that the Holy Ghost wasn't scary or a monster. He is just having a hard time understanding the ghost factor. HA!


Meeeee

I liked these pictures of myself. Call me vain. Lately I have been making a lot of headbands and have sold quite a few. About 10-12 so far. I have also discover felt. I love felt and am working on a quiet book for the boys as well as a Star Wars quiet book. I know I am nerdy. It is way cute though. I will post pictures when I get them done.


Cooking

As everyone knows, Cory really likes to cook. He is such a wonderful chef. Lately he has been trying to perfect a dish that is inspired by Olive Garden's Braised Beef and Tortellini..he has made his version and few weeks in a row now...I have been eating way too good. Also, Jason and Tyler just love to cook with him. It is cute the way that Cory teaches them how to cook. Jason now knows that anytime Dad is cooking he is welcome to get his stool and help out. He loves it.


Autism Awareness Day

We are way late posting these...but on April 1st and 2nd it was WAAD (World Autism Awareness Day). We all dressed in our blue shirts and blue jeans to support the cause. We even picked out a blue light bulb for the porch. We taught the kids about Autism and about their cousin Grant who has Autism. It was a great few days to learn more about Autism and to show our support.


Tyler...he is such a ham.


So is Jason. Can't I just get one normal picture?


I like Tyler's pose in this one. Ha ha!

Boys and their TOYS!

Oh me, Oh my....how tech nerdy is this picture. Ha ha ha!! Made me laugh though.


We need to teach them young I guess.

Girls WEEKEND!!

Oh yes, you read that right. I went on a little retreat with my best girly-friends to SLC last weekend. It was awesome. My friend Annelise's Dad has a condo that he let us stay in. We had soooo much fun. It was a fun, relaxing weekend full of laughs, cries, and craziness.

Me and Samantha.


My crazy lady friends. Sam, Annelise, and Raena!! Love those girls.


Annelise's birthday was a few weeks ago. We couldn't help but tell them.


After a late, late night, we had a fabulous breakfast.


That's right, I did Sam and Raena's hair. Annelise's is way toooo curly so I could not do hers. I wouldn't know where to start.

We are ready for shopping. Which we ended up doing all day. My deal of the day...a suede jacket for $30 that makes me look like a rock star!!!

US

We are so very excited because on April 13th, Cory will be getting his first set of crowns in. I am way excited. He is going to look so different and I know it will be a huge change for him. It was supposed to be last week, but had to be postponed until April. I will post pictures of him afterwards. I am very proud of Cory. He has received a promotion at work and he works very hard to support our little family. He is a good husband and father. And not to mention, very very funny!!! I love him.



As for me, nothing much has changed for me. I was nominated for parent of the year award at Head Start and if I win, I will receive $1000. I want to win. I just have to write a few essays. Wish me luck. I also love staying at home with the kids. They make me laugh on a daily basis. It has been such a great opportunity for me to be with them everyday. They teach me a lot.

Jason

Jason is such a big boy now. I can't believe he is almost 3 years old. He is definitely a sensitive little guy. He likes hanging around me and Cory and love to get his cuddle on still. I love it. Ge us getting taller and taller and more talkative. He love Thomas the Train and insists on wearing Thomas the Train almost daily. He only has a few shirts and jammies with him on it. He also likes to play with Tyler. They are always getting into mischief together.


Too cute!!
