Just a Few Things. . .

Just a few things we've been up to around here.

I want to say: Friday April 29th

We dropped some photos off at my grandparents house and they took us to see their neighbors baby ponies.




April 30th

We had a visit from some of my family that live in Las Vegas. I got to see my cousins little girl. I haven't seen her since she was a baby and she is now 4. We had fun visiting, and enjoyed their company.



Saturday May 7

We celebrated my dad's 64th birthday.



Baby M after trying chocolate cake for the first time.



Saturday May 14th

We went to a Pirate Party at a local grocery store. They were celebrating the new "Pirate's of the Carribean" movie.





Big H was afraid of this pirate ship.



When we got there they were closing up due to weather, but that didn't stop us from getting some nice pirate tattoos and enjoying a lunch in the deli. The boys even got balloons.



Saturday May 21st

I went to the UVU car show with my Dad. I was so excited for Little H to see the car show this year. The boys loved it! They even started to pose by the cars for me as I took pictures.

May 15, 2010: What a Day for a Car Show!

The sun was high, the weather was good and my Dad and I were headed to the annual UVU car show up at Thanksgiving Point. They moved it up to Thanksgiving Point a few years ago because it was getting too big for the UVU campus. I haven't been since the move, but I was definitely going to make it this year. The only downfall was that Craig couldn't come, but I had fun sharing something special with my boys, and a Daddy/Daughter date is always nice- he even paid ;)

Some Highlights










Some of Kaden's Picks




He called these the Bumblebee cars. I tried to explain that they looked like Bumblebee but Bumblebee was actually a Camaro, not a Plymouth, and we'd try to find an actual Bumblebee. No such luck though.



Some of My Dad's Picks






And mine. . .

I had to get a pic of the boys by my absolute favorite car. The 1967 Camaro. Isn't she beautiful? Sadly we never found my Dad's Camaro. His is a 1970 a hard one to come by. He actually owned one, and wishes all the time he had kept it.



Not a fan of Mustangs, but the Cobra definitely earns my respect.



I sort of have a thing for Pontiacs. Maybe because my first car was a Pontiac, or maybe because they built the first muscle car ever. Ladies and gentlemen the 1964 GTO.



Wish my Buick looked like this. I think I'll take our gas mileage though :)



My nephew made this Lego airplane and Big H somehow got his hands on it. He started blowing raspberries and making plane sounds. I thought, "Wow he knows what it is!" Then today he did the same thing with a toy whale. Guess it's just how he plays with toys.



We'll end with the car of cars. The Chevy Corvette. No matter what the year it's an impressive car- we'll excuse that little bit in the late 80's early 90's most cars had ugly body styles then anyway.

June 11 and 13: It's Time for Some New Adventures!

On the 11th Craig and I decided to be totally crazy and take a long hike up a steep trail- the trail to Timp Caves that is. We have been trying to go on this hike all week, but the rain had other plans. So finally on Thursday- after waiting out a rainstorm- we were able to hike up the Timpanogos Cave Trail. The Timpanogos Caves are one of the hardest caves to hike to in the country. It may be hard but you do get to see some beautiful scenery along the way. Combine that with a great workout and a feeling of accomplishment and you have an outing that is totally worth all the effort.

The hike was a little harder with the boys, but doable. And still enjoyable.



After recovering from our hiking expedition Craig and I finished up the boys costumes for the baby contest. We had a little Indian and a little cowboy. And I just have to say, "They were so DANG cute!" The contest was on the 13th. No word yet on the results. That probably means we lost, but oh well.




Our Saturday was not yet quite fulfilled, so we headed to Springville for Art City Days- where we saw some fancy cars- and then onward to Lagoon! My parents and my nephew came to Lagoon with us. It was quite a treat to take my nephew there. He's fearless and we'll ride any ride you take him on. It makes for an enjoyable experience. He's the child my parents always wished they had.
