Schools Out!

Jace had the opportunity to be in the infant/toddler class at USU this semester. Although driving up to the university 2x a day 3x a week wasn't fun, Jace LOVED it! The kids that he was able to interact with were awesome and the staff was too! He loved being outside! The little girl in front is his bestest bud Madalyn(they like to hold hands) SO CUTE!!!
He loves to play with the babies and strollers!

Most of all he LOVES snack time!

During Large Group the kids learn songs! Jace loves to sing songs! What an Awesome opportunity for him to be able to be in such a great environment! Hoping that he gets in this fall to the 2year old lab...but who knows!

SURPRISE!!!

We really made an adventure of this trip! We started in Logan-stayed the night with the Shokrgozars in Anaheim, then drove into San Diego the next day. After 3 days there we drove down along the border and went into Arizona so that we could visit Heather! The boys were so excited to see and play with her! Got to go to Macayos...and eat Queso, it was tasty!!!
And don't forget the Carosel

Thanks for letting us drop in on you! We love you loads Heather!

Sea World 2011

We were lucky enough last year that my Dad bought us a two year pass to Sea World. So my Mom and I decided to use Spring Break to visit Shamu! Kyler loved it last year so he was super stoked to go back...he even kept his map and brought it to the park with him! Some of the boys favorite things were the water fountains!

They could have stayed all day...if the wind hadn't been blowing and making them freeze!This is one of the animals associated with Sea Worlds rescue efforts.

We're not sure how old he is...but he was pretty dang cool!

Kyler loved being able to pet him...oh and he also tried to mount him and ride hime like a horse!

Sea Stars...this was cool until Kyler decided to throw his back in the water!
I was a little nervous that we'd get in a lot of trouble for that little stunt!

Nan and Kyler

Riding in style!

Besides the fact that Jace was getting over a bug, this was an AWESOME trip! Although next time we need one adult per child ratio! It was a little crazy since my mom was in her scooter! Definitly felt like I needed another set of arms! Can't wait to go back!

Childrens Museum

What a GREAT Day! We met Kristi and the kiddos at the Childrens Museum and we all had a blast! It's so fun watching how many things the kids are able to explore and play with! My little broadcasters!
We were there on Mardi Gras and so all the kids got to have their faces painted.
Jace was less than amused so his didn't last very long!

Karson's Shark-loved this one!

Madison even got in on the action!

Kaydance driving in the car and grocery shopping!

Guess Who's 4?!

This year we had Ky's birthday at the Fun Park, but it was way crowded..lesson learned-DO NOT DO ON WEEKEND! We had great friends (The Mountcastles, Lisa, Lily, Pace, Mary and Jace's friend Madalyn) and fantastic family (Nana, Papa, CoCo, Harry, and Ethan) Once again Carol went in the climbing area...but this year she really got stuck and couldn't get back down!
He was dodging the camera...best shot I got all night!
