Okay I’m not the best at taking pictures and uploading for everyone to see. We went to Grants Pass for spring break and on one of the days we decided to go to the coast. It was wet and cold but we still enjoyed it. So here are some pictures from then. We have a lot more of our whole trip but that is on film and still needs to be developed and then scanned. This this will have to do for now.

Snow?
Posted onOkay yesterday we woke up to the ground coverd in snow. Not surprising for this area but a little depressing. Spring just isn’t coming soon enough. Still no blossoms on the trees and tulips are just now coming out of the ground. Well my 3 year old loves the snow. This past Christmas he asked Santa for snow. It snowed a ton. So everytime it snows he thinks that he was some how responsible. Very cute. Well yesterday he was pretty excited to see the snow on the ground. By the end of the day it had all melted. We were sitting at the dinner table just enjoying our meal and he suddenly turns around looks out the window and puts both fist in the air and says “OHHHH my snow is ruined!!” He then turns around and puts his head on the table like it is the end of the world. Corey and I just looked at each other and started to laugh. I wish I had had the camera ready but no luck. So sometimes snow isn’t all bad. We just need to look at it through a three year olds eyes.
Indoor Picnic
Posted on
We decided to have an indoor picnic the other day. It’s one of the boys favorite things to do. As long as the kids have an enclosed cup I’m all for it. We use paper plates and normally have sandwhiches and chips and stuff like that. That makes easy clean up. The kids can’t wait until we can finally go have picnics outside. Cross your fingers that it’s only going to be a couple more months.
Utah
Posted onThis past week we went to Utah for a couple of days. Corey had a meeting in Ogden so we all decided to go. It was nice to finally leave Idaho Falls for a while. This is the first time I’ve been out of town since July. I know it’s sad. This first picture was taken at the Weber state natural history exhibt. The boys just loved the big dinosaur bones. It was really hard to keep Levi from touching anything.
We had to wait for Corey for quite a while so the boys decide that they would pass the time by catching up on the news. It was so funny. They just found a newspaper sitting on some chairs and opened them up and started to look through them. They looked so grown up.
When we finally caught up to Corey we parked our car and rode the train (front runner) to Salt Lake. Levi and Preston were so excited to take their first ride on a train. It was about an hour long train ride and well worth it. Levi’s nose was glued to the window the whole time. They had a blast.
When we arrived in Salt Lake City we rode the Trax to the planetarium. We took a trip to the moon and to Mars. The kids loved seeing all the different
exhibits. Preston still thinks that he is going to grow up to be an astronaut. So we try to do all we can to encourage it. Levi’s favorite part was going up and down in the elevator.
Next we headed for temple square. It was a beautiful day and about 50 degrees outside (warm for us). We walked around temple square for a while and started to get tired. It had been a long day and when we got back to the train Levi fell asleep. It was so cute he was all curled up in ball. Over all it was a quick trip but well worth it. We all had a great time and can’t wait for our next adventure.
Geese Bowl
Posted on
We went on a walk down by the green belt and these geese started to flock toward us. They thought we might have some bread to feed them. They were surprized when the boys challenged them to a game of football. We call it the geese bowl. A pre-game for the turkey bowl. My money is on the geese.
Family photo
Posted on
We went to the BYUI gardens to take a family photo on July 5th, 2008. The gardens have really changed since I was in school in ’99. They have added many features and it’s a very beautiful place. I hope to take many more pictures there.
