Kindergarten Grad!


This little Dude is now a Kindergarten Grad!
(sniffle-sniffle)

Utah Bike Trip



We went down to Utah for a quick weekend trip. We celebrated our 11th Anniversary and Ben rode in the Cycle Salt Lake Century (100 mile bike ride) with one of his best friends.

The 2 days we were there were packed full of fun stuff. We spent a lot of Friday with Ben's familia. We went to Thanksgiving Point and the kids had a lot of fun. Then Ben and I went to Snake Creek Grill in Heber for our anniversary. I love that place! While we were eating we were trying to remember what we've done for each of our anniversaries, I think we finally remembered all of them, but it was kind of hard. It was kind of fun trying to remember all of them. We've had some fun ones! The next morning Ben and Spencer started their looooooooooooooooooooong ride and I spent the day with Erin and kids. It was a fun and CRAZY time. (Thanks Erin for the fun time! ;) You are a seriously good sport about everything! ) Ben and Spencer finished and had a great time!
Grandma Jensen is a such a fun Grandma!

How cute is Brandon?!! I just love him!

How cute is Ben?!! I just love him! lol ;)


This is how Erin and I spent a lot of our time that day. Letting the kids play in a flooded playground. Without a change of clothes or towel, but the kids had fun playing in it and sometimes drinking it. Seriously! Drinking it! But make no mistake, we are still good Mom's.



This is the only picture I took of the kids at the Discovery Center in Salt Lake. We were there for like a half hour and then had to leave because our men were finishing their ride. So we didn't get to see everything, but that place looked FUN! We'll have to check that place out again soon!

Easter

Yeah, that's right, Easter.

Yes, it is the first of June tomorrow, yet I am about to post a little something about our Easter. What I can remember of it anyway. I guess really only has been a little over a month, so, not too bad really.

In a nutshell, we had a fun Easter.

Our neighborhood had an awesome Easter fair, with a hunt, games, face painting, a freaky Easter bunny greeting all the boys and girls, a bounce house and an obstacle course slide, it was really awesome. I think if we knew it was going to be so fun we wouldn't have planned going on another Easter egg hunt, but alas, we didn't know and bought tickets aboard the Easter Train at the Thunder Mountain Railroad in the lovely mountains of Idaho. Bridger and Brandon were way excited to go on a train. It was about 2 hours long, an hour up the mountain, where we all got off and had an easter egg hunt, then road the train for another hour back down the mountain. It was kind of nice actually, because Ben and I were a little under the weather, so it was nice to just sit and relax a little.

Easter Sunday, Ben and I were major sickies, and were mad at each other for not being able to take care of the kids because the other was sick. Don't you hate that. It stinks when you are both sick at the same time. However, the Easter bunny did manage to come by our house for a little hunt and brought the already spoiled kids some presents.

Overall it was a nice and fun Easter holiday (aside from Ben being a big baby when he got sick [a total man cold, watch it and you'll know what I'm talking about] and me being understandably upset while being majorly sick :) )








Can I take a picture? Can I take a picture?

Brandon begs to take pictures with the camera all of the time. I really need to get him a kid camera or something. However, these are the pictures he take when we let him have it. I mean common!



This is a good one!





Seriously?! the garbage!



And these are the most interesting of the bunch! lol!

Hillbilly Brandon

I love these pictures!
Brandon lost his front tooth a few weeks ago. He was majorly excited. I heard him wishing on his tooth before bed that the tooth fairy would bring him 100 dollars so that he could buy a really big transformer. Poor kid... I let him know that I was pretty sure that wish wouldn't be coming true. That didn't seem to deter his hope though.
Before

After

Hallelujah!!!!


Bridger is finally potty trained!!!!
This is one of HIS and MY greatest accomplishments! :)
The only problem is that now that he is potty trained, he is a bit of a potty mouth. Pee and poo is his favorite subject. He laughs all day about it. I can't get him to stop, and now Brandon has jumped on the pee and poo wagon and they both joke about it like two regular little boys, I guess. I am going to put a stop to it and then that will trump this greatest accomplishment and will become MY new greatest accomplishment as a parent.

Any suggestions on how I might do it?
