Wheeler Farm Field Trip

The nice thing about having three years between Camden and AnaBella is the nice break that we had from field trips. This was the last field trip for Camden while at Little Learners. We loved each field trip, and this one is one of the favorites.

It worked out great that Easton and Afton were out of school so that we could all go together. We always have fun with the Mathew's!
The kids had fun at the farm.
Camden had the best teachers, and loved his preschool class.

Camden was trapped, too bad we couldn't leave him here just a little bit longer!

Girl's Trip 2010

I am horrible with my camera, I never take it out. We made our annual girls trip to St. George and Vegas. Thanks to the Miles' for letting us stay at their beautiful home, again! Nothing like a long weekend hanging out by the pool, shopping, eating, pedicures, more shopping, more eating, and a fun trip to Vegas, for you guessed it-more shopping, and eating!!!I am so lucky to have such great friends from High School!Nielsen's Frozen Custard is always a must in St. George! The results of our shopping trip in Vegas.

Easton's 7th Birthday Bash

We had a great time celebrating Easton's 7th Birthday with both the Hummel and Burt families.

One of the first years that I haven't made a homemade cake, I guess this is what happens as the kids get older!

Like Mother, Like Son

I can't even remember where we had come home from, but we had asked Camden to go in and get ready for bed. When we were calling him and he didn't answer I found him like this.

He was so exhausted and was only able to get one shoe off before falling asleep. He is just like me, when he is tired he can fall asleep anywhere, with anything going on in the background. I love this kid!

Trouble!!!

I have a little artist on my hands, and she is not afraid to get dirty. These two girls are nothing but trouble when they are together. They have so much fun and love playing with each other.

Easton's Big Day

April 15, 2010

I can't believe that my oldest is 7! Easton is a very loving child, he is my pleaser. I am so grateful to have him in my life.

Easton started off celebrating his big day at the Burt family party at the Matua's.

On his actual birthday he had a baseball game and was hit in the face with a pitch. The first year of kid pitch baseball is tough on these kids.
After his game he was able to open a few presents.

Baseball Season

The boys had a great time playing baseball this year. Camden played in the Rookie league where it is machine pitch. He was on the Grasshoppers and played with his friends Ashton, Thatcher, and with his cousin Tanner. I think there was only one at bat that Camden didn't get a hit, he had a great season.
Easton was on the Cincinnati Reds and he had a great time. He played with his friend Kade.

Easton was hit in the face on his birthday with a kid pitching. He finally got over the fear of getting up to bat and had a great season as well.

Brotherly Love

I am so glad that my boys are so close. This is not a posed picture.

Easter at home

We had a fun Easter, the kids were excited to come out and look for eggs, and their baskets. Just ignore Easton in his wife beater, as you can tell we are white trash!
Looking for eggs and they were really looking good!

Crazy hair!

Of course I didn't take any pictures in their cute Easter outfits.

Getting ready for Easter

We got together for an Easter dinner and celebration the Saturday before Easter. The kids had an Easter egg hunt and were able to color and eggs and decorate cookies. Grandma Gypsy always has fun holiday activities planned for all of the kids.

I am not sure what Bella was so mad about. Someone probably touched her egg! The shirts definitely had to come off while coloring eggs.
As you can imagine, the cookies were decorated so beautifully.

Baby Chayse

Isn't Chayse so cute on Easter! She had been home for just a week or so here.

Mexico, and Warm Weather, here we come!

On March 2nd Spencer and Brandon decided that we were going on a cruise. On March 6th Spencer blew out his knee in a mean game of DodgeBall. He had both of his Meniscus and his ACL repaired on March 9th. We were scheduled to leave on the cruise on March 19th. This definitely changed things, but we made it work.

We booked our cruise so late the flights were way too high to justify so we ended up driving. We left late one night and spent a few hours sleeping in a hotel in Vegas. Then it was up early to make sure that we made it to the ship on time.

We sailed on the Carnival Spirit, not my favorite Cruise Line but we still had a great time.

Dinner was always fun at a table for just the four of us.

Spencer still had to keep his leg straight, you can tell how thrilled he is that I have his brace in the picture.
One thing we did love was the unlimited amount of soft serve ice cream cones that we could have. Eden was so proud of herself for this ice cream cone that she made for Spencer. When she was walking back to give it to him some guy started clapping, it was bigger than this, but Spencer couldn't stop himself from digging in.

One of our many meals up in the buffet. Watching the famous Acapulco Cliff Divers. It was interesting to learn that this is a family run operation, you have to be part of the family to be a diver.

The Carnival Spirit

Standing up in one of the old hotels in Acapulco, what a beautiful view.

Our next stop was in a beautiful town called Ixtapa, and also Zihuatanejo. I have had clients stop here before on their cruises, but had no idea what it was like. This is a place that I could spend a week on the beach. It was beautiful, clean, and quiet.

We stopped at the Krystal Ixtapa and took a few pictures and looked around the resort.

There was this Gator farm that was just off the side of the road. It was pretty amazing how well they hide themselves when they do not want to be seen.

Our last stop was in the port of Manzanillo. It was pretty as well, but not as clean, or as small as Ixtapa. We spent a little time at the beach, and taking a tour of the city.

You can't go on a cruise and take pictures of the funny towel animals.

The last night at dinner with our two servers, they were "Da Best" as our assistant waiter would say. They were both great. We had a great, relaxing time on this cruise all things considered.
