Ah Utah Spring!

Its a good thing I got to ride it once before it snowed. What a bummer!
It had been so nice the past couple of days and then we wake up to this STUFF! March definitely didn't go out like a lamb unless you are referring to this FLUFF


"Collin's" Birthday Presant

Here is Collin's birthday presant. It came in the mail and Adon helped me put it together. Collin was napping at the time and I was too excited.
30 minutes later its all together and hooked up.

After Collin woke up from his nap I couldn't wait to try it out. I'm glad I had my dad's tire pump in my car from fixing my bike earlier. The boys had so much fun. It wasn't very warm but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. We are going to take a LOT of bike rides this summer. It even has netting to block out the misquitoes!!!

Crafts on a Rainy Day


Old shirt meets new shirt. Adon has this orange dinosaur shirt that he loves but its too small for him. He asks to wear it every day. I've altered it to make it longer but it is just too small. So I cut out the dinosaur part and put it on a bigger t-shirt for him. He loves it! Collin didn't really need a new shirt (he has so many clothes) but I had to make hime a revamped shirt too. You may recognize the emblem from the shirt that the kids got from last summer. What else do you do on a rainy day?

We love books!

I came home from VT to find my boys like this. I had to catch this picture becuse it is the little things that are so precious.
Collin loves to cuddle. So he will bring a book to me and cuddle. I'm not sure if he likes to read the book or to cuddle more. Maybe both now that he is older.

I Like Ketchup With My Ketchup

We went out to Texas Roadhouse for lunch on Saturday with the boys. We split mini hamburgers a rack of ribs (which I thought were wonderful) and a baby (onion) blossom. Collin had a lemon in one had, an onion (blossom) in the other, each dipped in ketchup eating them simultaneously.
This is how he felt about the plain lemon. :P "Needs Ketchup"

A Car Named "Eat Beef"

Our ward did an activity where each family made a CO2 car. Growing up I really wanted to build a pine wood derby with my brothers when they did scouting. So Aaron let me build our family car. Granted I had no idea what to do and only had a pamphlet for instruction this is what I came up with.
Eat your heart out. Yes, it is a replica to an A1 sauce bottle. I went online to a pinewood derby design site and there were all these goofy, crazy, ingeinous ideas and this is the one I picked. It was my second choice but I wouldn't have had the time or talent to make my fist choice, maybe next time.

I have been give the self proclaimed "creativity" award. My car was the absolute cooles one at the races. And it didn't do so bad. Next year....just wait!

Happy Birthday Auntie Heather

Nana came up from Arizona to spend the week during which was Heather's birthday. Collin was her little shadow and couldn't get enough of Grandma's love.
We gathered together for pizza, cake, and ice cream for Heather's birthday. We love living so close and being able to enjoy one another. Nana put the sparklers on Heather's cake so she is really 27 instead of 23 :P Good luck blowing those out.... I've tried :P
