Finally a Yard

(The front flower bed)

Well the time has come for us to do our yard! We will finally have grass to walk bare foot on, and less dirt and mud tracked into my house! Here are a few pics of what they have done so far. They have moved a lot of my rocks and placed them where I wanted them placed and brought two more loads of dirt in. Today (Friday) they should be starting on my sprinklers and by the end of next week hopefully my curbing will be in. By the 1st of May we hope to have grass.

The Easter Bunny Left Tracks

When Broc woke up on Easter morning he saw little bunny feet everywhere. He had to follow the tracks around the house to find out where the bunny left his Easter basket.
It was funny to watch him follow the tracks especially when they were on the wall and on the couch. It took me two hours to cut them all out and I would do it all over again to see the look on his face as he followed them around.

Easter Sunday

On Easter sunday we went to Kris's parents in the morning to visit then went to church. After church we went to my parents house were we had a wonderful dinner and had yet another Easter egg hunt. Since there was only three kids, they had more then enough candy to go around and it didnt take quite so long for them to find them. We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, we are grateful for this time of year to reflect on our Savior and remind us of his endless love for us.

Easter Egg Hunt

Well this Easter seemed to be a lot more fun then the past. Only because Broc finally got the idea on how to hunt for Easter Eggs. We went up to Grandmas city Easter Egg hunt, they had a seperate part for kids 0-3 which was nice, they just threw a whole bunch of candy on the grass and away they went. At first Broc was a little scared because there were so many kids by him, but once he figured out that the candy was there for him to pick up he went to town. He even tried to take some out of someone else basket. After all the kids pretty much left Broc wanted to go back to the grass and take a closer look to make sure he didnt miss any candy. So Grandpa pulled a few pieces of candy from his pocket and threw them on the ground while he wasnt looking. Broc thought he was pretty cool that he found more once all the kids left. As you can tell as he started finding candy he wanted to eat as he went. We had a wonderful time and cant wait to do it again next year!

Skiing

A few weeks ago my sister came for a short visit with her family. Her kids have never been skiing and wanted to go, so my brother and his daughter, my sister and her 5 kids and my dad went. We had a blast!

I left Broc home with my mom because I am not that great at skiing, and Kris had to work.

We had a great time, since my sister brought all of her kids and it was their first time skiing it was so funny to watch the kids learn. I was glad my brother, my dad and I were there to help them because one of her kids caught on really fast and was ready for the big hill, but the rest of them werent ready at all and needed help. We had a wonderful time and it was great to be with my family!

My two necies learning together!

Classic Fun Center

Last week we went to Broc's cousins birthday party at the fun center. Broc had a blast! He rode a scooter around and climbed around with his cousins. He also tried skating. He did pretty good as long as I was holding his hand. Even Grandpa put on a pair of skates and went around the rink.

Childrens Museum

Today we went to the childrens museum with our cousins. At the museum they had a water exhibit that allows you to direct the water to different places. Broc had a blast doing that. I think most of the water ended up on his shirt. But he had a great time!

Anyone for a ride? I think Broc should have drove, poor Spencer could barely drive with the heavy weight in the back.

Broc and I built a tower out of large Legos.

Snowy Days

Kris and Broc built a snowman yesterday. It was great! Kris got the snowmobile out and took Broc for a ride. It was a wonderful day.

Our California Trip

While at Disney California Adventure we watched the Bugs Life Show, we were all honorary bugs for the 25 min. show. Dont they look silly!

One of Broc's fav. character is Pluto, and we saw him a couple times. We also saw Minnie and Mickey and Bell. He was so cute with her, he ran right up to her and gave her the biggest hug one could give and told her she was pretty. It just about brought tears to my eyes.

When we went to the San Diego Zoo Broc loved the Elephants and Zebras. We also saw the cutest Panda Bears. They were magnificent.

Our first visit to Sea World

We went to Sea World on this trip and Kris and Broc sat right down where they could get wet. They are one of those people down there wearing a blue poncho. I was a chicken and sat up higher where I couldnt get wet. They called me a poor sport, but I think I was smart!

Broc loved to see the penguins, seals, and sharks. I dont think he was quite sure what to think of them, but he liked it. See that little pink star fish, Broc was able to hold it and see what it felt like, then we told him he needed to put it back and instead of gently putting it in the water he kinda tossed it like a frisbe.

Universal Studios Hollywood

We had an extra day while on our trip and so we walked around the down town part of Universal Studios, and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. Obvioulsy it rained that day. But the next day we went inside Universal Studios and it was a nice day. Broc got to see Dora the Explora and Swiper the Fox. I was excited because she got to see all the houses on Desperate House Wives on the backlot tour.

Train Tracks

This is just some of the train tracks Broc got for Christmas, they can wrap all around the furniture and down the hall, I have gotten tried of them all being in the family room so I moved most of them downstairs. That way I dont have to put them together every day.

New Thomas PJ's

Broc got these Thomas PJ's for Christmas and loves them. He wants to wear them every night. I have to remind him I dont do laundry every day and he has to wear other pjs. As you can tell he likes to pose for the camera. I wonder where he gets that from???

I figured out the password

Hey everyone, obviously it has been a long time since I posted anything. I finally figured out my password.
So a lot has been going on around here. Since the last post we have been to Disneyland, Sea World, Universal Studios, and the San Diego Zoo. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go again, much to Kris's dismay.
We had a wonderful Christmas filled with tons of trains! We now have a family room and basement full of train tracks and Thomas the Trains. Kris had an okay birthday as usual, he had a cold so he wasnt feeling that great.
As many of you we have had a ton of snow. On one of the many snow storms that blew threw here, Kris got tried of shoveling and went to buy a snow blower. After going to Home Depot, Lowes, Sears and other places he finally had some success in finding a snowblower at Smith & Edwards. But of course it was the only one left, being the last one i am positive they raised the price, and seeing all the guys coming in behind Kris he hurried and bought the last one. I am so glad too, because our driveway is not fun to shovel.
As some of you know we have started the adoption process. We are excited and scared to be going through this process but know the end results will be wonderful.
We hope everyone is doing well and would love to hear from you all
