Graduation....

Paige had her GRADUATION from preschool yesterday {for this year anyway...she still has another year of preschool}. It was so fun to go and celebrate the end of the year with her...I can't believe she's growing up so fast.
They said some cute things about each of the kids. Paige's favorite color is Pink and Purple {she couldn't choose}, she wants to grow up to be a princess...like Belle. Her favorite foods are noodles {top ramen} and pizza. Her favorite part of preschool was their field trip to the park for a picinic.
It was so cute, they sang songs and recited poems. You could tell she really enjoyed it, because she knew most of every word and sang the loudest. ;)

Brayden is her biggest fan....he absolutely adores Paige - she really is his favorite person! This is a picture of him "showing off his muscles".

Thanks Papa and Bobo for coming and supporting her....she was so excited to have you come!

After graduation we let Paige pick where we went to lunch...and she picked Artic Circle...so here are some pictures of the kids playing on the slide.

Brayden is finally getting big enough to think that this is fun!
Weeeee!!!!
HOO...

RAY!!!!

****

And as much as Paige loves school she is excited to have the summer to do more fun things. SO Hooray for Paige...way to go baby girl, we love you!!!!

Spring Pictures...Amatuer style. ;)

We got the kids dolled up in attempt to get some darling spring pictures....well what we forgot to bring was the magic wand, because these two little rascals didn't want to cooperate much at all. So here are the best of what we got. We hope you like em'!!!

And there ya have it....TTFN!!! {there's a lot of a similar pose of Paige, but I can't decide which one I like the best - LMK whatcha think.}

Riding on the Front Runner...

So last Saturday we decided to be fun-brave {crazy} parents and take the kids to ride the new "train" - The Front Runner. Well we waited in line for 1 1/2 hours and were on the actual train for 2 1/2 hours.....but we rode the whole round trip, every stop. We {Brian, Brayden and Myself} were ready to get off, Paige could have rode all night. It was OK - crazy busy, but fun to do it with the kids.

Here we are waiting in line trying to find as much shade as possible - it was VERY scarce.

Paige had fun hanging out, messing around with the rocks and kicking the dirt and spinning in circles around the trees.

Brayden finally just decided that time would go by faster by taking a nap...smart kid!

Here we are on the train...
Hanging out....
Being silly....
But having fun!Oh and we did get a chance to check out the lavatories on board, thanks to Paige...she's always gotta go. So in case you were wondering - they do have potty's on board, but watch out the toilet spits when flushed. ;)
So "free rides day" ....really means - a LONG wait, weird people and sunburns {I'm the only one that got sunburned though- go figure}. But the kids had fun so it was worth it....it helped kill time and wore the kids out AND we still made it home in time to watch the Jazz game so Brian was happy.

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! ;)
