The Jungle book...Roadshow - starring Paige!!!

Our ward participated in a Roadshow over the weekend....our theme was the Jungle book. Paige was a butterfly....she had SOOO much fun.

They did a little dance,but it doesn't look like Brian was able to get any pictures of it. Here's the video of it.....they did such a good job, and Paige had the time of her life. She keeps asking me when she gets to do it again. Hope you enjoy the video...

6 Facts/Habits

I have been tagged by my friend Tiffany aka "Toes"!

In this tag game you are supposed to list 6 facts/habits about yourself, and then tag 6 people to do the same. So here it goes:

1. Fact: I am someone who needs {appreciates} the most sleep in this house, yet I am the one who gets the least amount of it. Hmmm...maybe that would explain why I am easily crabby. {Would someone pass that on to my hubby...and hopefully he will do something about it.}

2. Fact: I love, love, love to take pictures...especially of my little ones AND I hope to do it professionally some day. I have thousands of pictures on my computer or on CD....However having said that I am not a scrapbooker...I am in the closet on this one because I SOOO would love to be, but I just don't have the talent. Anyone out there who wants to help me figure out how to digital scrapbook I would love you forever.

3. Fact: I am a hopeless romantic...always have been, always will be. I am one of those people that can't wait for the next romantic comedy to come out. In fact, you could take me to the cheesiest movie in the world and everyone around me could be cringing because it is SO over the top and unbelievable, and I will happily watch. I am not ashamed. I am just glad that I have friends and family that are willing to accept this little tidbit about me and will continue to indulge me by accompanying me to the movies. :) {Ditto to this...other than I think at times it absolutely drives my husband crazy - but he knows it is in his best interest to humor me.}

4. Fact: I am a sucker for popsicles...they are a GREAT treat!!! Paige also has this same love, she will even pick having a popsicle over having another kind of dessert...that's my girl!

5. Fact: I love watching TLC especially John and Kate Plus 8! It is becoming one of my favorite shows! I look forward to it every week! Monday nights are definitely my favorite night of television.

6. Fact: I also am not Betty Crocker or Susy Homemaker...sorry for those of you that thought I was, especially my husband. I must be good at other things though {still trying to figure out what they might be} because my husband is still with me after 13 years of dating and almost 8 years of marriage.

Ok so now I tag....anyone that wants to give it a shot, or anyone who is in a rut and needs something to blog about.

A little bit of what we've been up to...

We've been so busy having fun that it would take an eternity to try to post about them all...so here is a brief explanation.

We finally got a bike trailor to haul the kiddos around...Paige loved it, Brayden - not so much at first. But after a bit he fell asleep and did just fine.

We've really enjoyed playing at the park...I love free entertainment. Plus it wears the kids out and they take long naps.

Paige has been obsessed with feeding Grizzly since the day she could crawl and get into his food. And thankfully he has always been a good sport about it. We really do have a good dog.

These are a few random pictures I've taken over the last couple of weeks. We hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we enjoyed making the memories.

Horsies...

Brian's aunt Shauna was in town this week so we went out to his aunt Judy's to visit with everyone and the bonus was that Judy has horses. Paige love, love, loves horses {she takes after her mom} and we showed them to Brayden for the first time. They both got a kick out of them...this first picture the horse had been nibbling on Brayden's hand, he thought that was pretty cool.



Unfortunately for us, these horses aren't gentle enough for little ones to ride...and no matter how much I beg-Brian still won't let me get a horse. Hmmmph! So we will just have to enjoy these for now...and any of you that have or know of someone who has horses we can ride let me know we would LOVE to go any time! ;)

Easter Pictures....

We too had a great time this last weekend celebrating Easter...

We dyed eggs...

We hunted for the dyed eggs...Brayden tasted his...and dyed his mouth too. {Thankfully it wasn't permanent}
We also went on 3 Easter egg hunts....one at the SLCM hunt, one at Papa and Bobo's and one at Grandma Coo-Coo's. It was a ton of fun!

And this last picture is what Paige looked like after she attempted to eat ALL of her chocolate bunny.

It was Brayden's first Easter so it was a lot of fun to see him during all of the activities...but the REAL excitement was with Paige. She is really into holidays and doing activites...so thanks to our families who made this Easter a really great one!

Bear Lake...

We went on a snowmobiling trip with some family to Bear Lake. We got to enjoy being away, swimming and snowmobiling...here are some pictures from the weekend.
Brian, Paige and Brayden in the kiddie pool. Thankfully both swimming pools were heated.

Mom in on the action...Paige giving her approval.

My self portrait...everyone else was in the pool.

Brian goofing off....he LOVES to swim, so thankfully Paige is a fish and also enjoys it. I mean I like to swim, but those two could live in the water!

Here's Paige playing and swimming all on her own. Man she is growing up WAY too fast!

Brayden had so much fun, he fell asleep. What a sweetie pie! {What ya don't know is that this little guy is such a trooper, he has RSV/Bronciolitis...which is why he's in the pool because it was very humid in there and good for him. So thankfully we were the only ones in the pool and were able to keep the water off of his head and away from his ears....he is such a good sport!}

Now for snowmobiling....this is Brian, doesn't he look like such a stud!?!?!

In case you had a hard time figuring out who this beauty is....its ME!

Here's what the rest of us did while the other's were out on the snowmobiles. We hung out in Jenny's new truck....they had a dvd player in there which was great for the kids. We tubed and pulled the kids behind the snowmobiles until they were frozen to the core...then they hung out in the truck while we played. It was fun! This is Jenny hanging out with the kids, it was nice to have someone to trade off with the kids, with Brayden not feeling well and all...he stayed bundled up in the truck the whole time. Which he didn't mind because he got tons of attention from all the kids when he wasn't sleeping. ***NOW I'm ready for SPRING!!!***
