First day of Kindergarten
Brandon has now been in Kindergarten for a couple of weeks and he really loves it! He rides the bus everyday and really looks forward to going everyday.
Here are some pictures of his first day. Brandon is a serious clown, I could barely get a normal pose out of him. I kept asking him to stand up nice and straight and give me a smile and this is what I got. Still, I think he is the cutest, most wonderful kid in the world :).
Making a lío
When I was little, whenever we got to cook with our Dad we always would call it "making a lío". Lío is spanish for mess. Probably because we always left a nice lío for my Mom or Abuela to clean, but it was always so much fun :) Brandon says he wants to be a cook when he grows up and it is probably because Ben makes cooking so enjoyable :).
So here is Brandon "making a lío" with Ben.

Picture Update
I haven't taken the time to post anything, so I thought I'd just post a few pictures of the last few months.
When we went to Catalina for our anniversary the kids got to spend time at Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's house. When we got back, we all went to Hogle Zoo together. I love these cousin pictures. Bridger made some goofy faces. Also, I love the sweater he is wearing, Ben's Mom found it in a old box or something because I forgot to pack one for him, it used to be Ben's or Dan's. I just love the vintage look :)
Look how big he can open his mouth! So funny!
Before I can get a nice picture of Bridger I alway have to get a picture like this :/
Bridger loves puzzles and loves perfection, he'll play with it for hours sometimes.
In May I ran in the Great Potato 10k with one of my friends. It was really fun. 1ok is my favorite running distance.
S'mores + fishing = tons of fun!
They slept in the car because our tent was busted. Brandon was happy to be protected from the bears, but Ben was a little cramped :)
We wen't down to Burley, Idaho for Ben's triathlon - The Spudman. It was a lot of fun. We stayed in an awesome hotel. I didn't know they had hotel rooms like this in the US. It was just so cool how you could walk in a room and feel like you were in a 3rd world country. Magic ;)
Ben did amazing! This was his first triathlon, so he wasn't sure how it would go, but he did great. He did it with his good friend Spencer, so it was a lot of fun to have a friend doing it with him.
(Ben is on the very right)
I don't think Ben will be happy I posted a picture of him in his spandex, but he was the Studman (of the The Spudman). Wow, that was a good line.

Santa Catalina the Island of Romance
We just celebrated our 10th anniversary in May and Ben surprised me by planning a trip down to Catalina Island. We had so much fun. Both of us had never been, everything was perfect. We fed the fish, visited all of the ice cream parlors, went for walks, rented bikes, saw the botanical gardens, went to the famous Casino (which we found out is not a gambling casino. Casino also means a gathering place for social amusement-interesting) and watched a movie in the amazing art deco theater inside the casino, we went kayaking and snorkeling, we saw tons of fish and seals, so we had a ton of fun and highly recommend going sometime. We were there 3 days, just us, no kids, it was awesome. Sure, we totally missed the kids, but they had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa. We've never left the kids for more that a night, so I was a little nervous, but it was worth it to have a lot of one on one time, and we knew they were safe and happy with Grandma and Grandpa.
Here I am about to touch a cactus at the botanical gardens. Fyi - Cactus touching is a big no no-doi.
Here we are in our stinky wetsuits. Have you ever worn a wetsuit? This was my first time and man they are stinky!
We had fun on these cruisers.
