Hunter is 3!!!!!

We are Back.....

We have been in Utah for two weeks. We got to see our new cousin/ Nephew Carson. All the kids held him and practiced for their new brother. Ethan held him only once..

Hunter on the other hand loved to hold Carson he asked every chance he got. I hope this is a good sign.

The kids went fishing with Grandpa North, Uncle James and their Dad.

They did a great job and caught 8 fish!! They all loved the worms but Makayla would not touch them. Ethan and Hunter loved to play with the worms.

It rain almost everyday and it Hailed three times, so Makayla and Ethan had a hail fight.

This is Makayla first friend Olivia we try and see them at least once a year. The have been friends since they we're one.

This is what my kids did everyday rain or shine. Hunter woke up at 6:30 every morning to ride with Grandpa. I don't have any pictures of that because I was still in bed!

We went the Zoo. Hunter loved to push Ethan in the stroller.

This is everyone but me. It was a fun day but a little disappointing because some of the animals were missing!

We went to Layton Surf and swim. It was fun but the waves were a little to hard for me.

Makayla loved to hold Carson. She is going to be such a big help!

My kids with their cousins. After the water fight!

Water Fight!!!

Ethan getting Aunt Ashley with the baby. So I took the baby so she could get him back.

We went to a bees game it was a lot of fun but it....

Started to rain at least we had good seats and getting get all wet. I really enjoyed the baseball game and explaining it to Ethan. Maybe we should go more often since we live so close to it!!! (In Arizona)

Hanging out! Ethan loves having Preston around!

This is one of the other reasons we went to Utah. I did the flowers for my sisters friends wedding. It was a lot of fun and the bride was so easy to work with I am glad that everything turned out great!

This is her cake It was very pretty I loved decorating it. But It would have been fun watching the cake delivery guy do it!

Last day of school!

WOW- look at the difference from the beginning of the year to the end of Year. He has grown so much it is amazing to me.

Makayla doesn't look much different to me. Except she has grown taller and she has grown out of a lot of her clothes that she has worn for 2 years, so she must be getting bigger!

They are so cute!

Ethan got an award for being respectful! He got a pin and had a small assembly. We found out he doesn't really like surprises. He didn't know about the award! So jarred and I and Hunter and Makayla were waiting in the Cafeteria and he walks in looks around sees us and comes over and sits down. He doesn't say anything . So I said "So what are you doing here?" He says "My teacher told me to come down here." He was so confused, it was so funny. I told him to go over and sit with the other kids and you will find out in a minute why you are here. He accepted the award and still looked confused. He wasn't smiling in the pictures that the school took. When He was done. The first question out of he asked is "Why didn't Makayla get one?" What a sweet heart he was worried about Makayla. Then he said "Can I go back to class?" He then just left without even saying good bye. I couldn't ask for a better student.

Ethan's Kindergarten Graduation....

We had Ethan's Kindergarten Graduation today! It was a Cowboy Picnic. We had a lot of fun, Ethan was so cute. He sang every song and did all the actions. He is to be such a big boy!

These are most of the kids in our ward that graduated also; Jackson, El, Lauren, Shea and Ethan. Shea and Lauren are in Ethan's class.

Eating his cowboy Lunch.

The end of Football & Karate! The Start of the Water Park

We had camera problems at Makayla's karate, Sorry for the poor quality.

Mothers day and dad and sons Camp Out!

Jarred and the kids made me waffles with fruit on them and I got to sleep in. It was a very nice day.

He also surprised me with a Kitchen aid mixer! It is so awesome and easy to use I don't know how I got along without it.

This is for after I have the baby! This is supposed to help with those c-section muscles that have been cut. Usually you have to buy this online and order so many DVDs but he found it and I really wanted after I had Hunter. He thought because I took a picture of it I was going to give him crap on buying me exercise equipment. But I was the one that asked for it.

The boys had a fun camping and they all three came home filthy. Ethan was so excited because dad let him stay up till dads bed time. Hunter crashed at his regular bed time and sleep through the night. ( he has had a cough) Jarred realized that it is a lot of work to take two boys camping but had fun.

Weekend pics

This is a GRASSHOPPER that loves our window. This is the biggest one I have every seen. He was a least 3 inches long!! * I told my bug guy about this grasshopper and he informed me that it is a locus!!! Gross

This is one of our lizards that is eating our yucky bugs around the house. I might have to put one in the house if we get crickets like last year. Just kidding.

Waving good bye to grandpa. My dad came down for the weekend, it was great to have him. Hunter was super sick and it was nice to have extra hands to help. Hunter has a special connection to Grandpa so he would even let him hold him when I couldn't.

WOW - you can sure tell they are related. I didn't even plan the colors of shirts!

Having fun in the Hot tub with Grandpa. They went swimming too. Thanks Dad for coming down for a visit. Hopefully next time everyone will be healthy!
