Family Hike!

Brandon in his class is teaching church history and living in hurricane we have a few church history sites with in hiking distance of our house so for family home evening off we went to hike the Hurricane Canal that the saint dug. It was a beautiful day and it was about a 15 minute hike so Brandon carried Coleton and i carried Hayden in my new baby hiker (that i found at DI;) and off we hiked) at the end of the hike there was a cave but Coleton was way to scared to go in but all in all we had a great time!

Easter 2011

Our Family just loves the excitment of Easter! Coleton was so eager to meet the easter bunny but we could not find him anywhere it seems! We tried to find him at the city easter egg hunt but he wasnt there and then when we were looking for him on Saturday morning in the front yard...he snuck in to the back and left a trail of easter eggs with candy in them for the boys and man where they thrilled to pick up!!


Then on sunday morning we once again were visited by the easter bunny when he left goodies for all of us!! Coleton got new socks, more underwear, crayons for the bathtub, and bigger shoes!! Hayden got new socks, curious george movie, and a big blue ball!I got a cute green body pillow and cookie scoops (which i have wanted since we were married but they are discountinued!!) and Brandon got a tool box!We really had a great time as a family this easter weekend!! The boys are just such a fun age and we are so blessed to have them in our lives and are grateful this easter season for the atonement an the blessing that we receive because of it! We hope that everyone had a wonderful easter weekend!

Coletons 3rd Birthday!

Our little guy has turned three years old!! He finally understood that his birthday would be a day where he got presents and boy did he tell us what he wanted. Everytime we were at the store he found the different items that he wanted for his birthday and insisted that his is what he wanted! On his list were Spencer and toby (thomas characters), a buzz action figure, misty island rescue items, mack truck from cars, a pillow pet and anything that looked at all interesting to him. Weeks of him giving us ideas made him think that "today" (meaning everyday) would be his birthday. Finally the day came, we were in cedar for a baby blessing and decided we might as well have a little family party to celebrate. With Coleton and Joleens birthday being so close together we had a combined birthday party. All of the family got together for dinner and had a great time! After dinner, we blew out candles and opened some presents. I made the birthday cake this year and who knew it would cause so many problems! While looking up cake ideas, my computer got infected with many viruses and now i no longer have that computer. What was sad is all of our picture files were on there so will see how that all works out but the birthday cake idead did not work out as planned so i did a simpler version. Coleton was so excited for the gifts that he was not at all interested in eating cake so we let him head right in to open the gifts. Most of them were thomas the tank engine items and he was thrilled Grandma Wiser gave him thomas bubbles, and grandma Comstock got him more track and Spencer. Brandon and I got him a little bike we found at D. I but when we loaded it in the car the training wheel got smashed :( So that was really sad because it was really cute and he was super excited for it. We also for months had been looking for a Buzz lightyear action figure because he really wanted on and four days before his birthday we found one at DI but in our excitement we didnt hide it very well and Coleton saw it before we left the store so he got it a little early but still was so excited! After our little family party we headed back home. Since we all got together on Sunday and his birthday wasnt really tell tuesday, On tuesday there was a present waiting for him from his Grandma so right before bed we open his last present! He had been hoping for a toby and....
It was toby! He was so excited!! We opened it up for him and he hopped in bed and with his little puppy flashlight that he keeps in his bed he sat and looked at toby for hours it was really cute to see him so excited! All in all it was a great birthday!

Is Anyone Out There?!?

For the past few months now, i have been wondering if anyone is coming to see my blog? I have a few faithful commenters (which i am so grateful for!) but other then that i wonder if i am just writing for my own use. I love to blog what the boys are doing because it is amazing to see how fast things change and i have realized that i go back and look to see when they did something or to compare the boys milestones but i am also try to keep family and friends informed about what is going on since we live so far away from some of them. I am now thinking about possibly changing the types of post i write if no one is reading it for more of my personal use but if there are people that check up i will leave it as so let me know if there is "Anyone Out There"!! Thanks!
