Camping with the Boys!

Bryce Just got home from camping with Jake and his friends D.J., Dantley and Mike. They had a "GREAT" time They did a lot of fishing and just taking it easy. Geez don't they have it rough? Bryce loves to go with Jake and his friends. I think he wishes he could be their age and just hang out with them all of the time! Thanks for going with him Jakey!!!!

Lake Powell '09

WE just got home from Lake Powell and it was a Blast! The weather wasn't perfect but it was still nice to get away and spend time with the family. The boys were really good except for Stetson was really clingy with me and Bryce. I was thinking it was because we weren't home and he just wasn't used to everything but sure enough when we got home he had a fever and two new teeth coming in!! So I hope that was the reason for the attitude! I love this time of year and can't wait for our next stop...Flamming Gorge~!!!

Better late then never!

Well I am finally putting up the picture of Stetson's birthday! He turned one on May 10th and I have been such a slacker getting the picture up. He is such a fun ENERGETIC little kid! I am so glad I have him and couldn't imagine my life without as what our family calls him our "little monster"!

Our fun Thomas Day

Thomas The Train

We had an amazing day yesterday! I don't know if there is anything better in life then seeing your children having one of the greatest days of their lives. Grandpa Jim took us and Sam and Brett to see Thomas the Train up in Heber. Jace was so happy and excited. The train ride was so fun and they had a bunch of other activities to do. I don't know how much fun Stetson had cause we had to restrain him in the stroller most of the time. The funnest part of the day was when we were boarding the train the conductor says to Jace "The number one rule when riding the train is to smile!" so a few minutes later we look over at Jace and he has this pained smile on his face cause he was so worried that if he stopped smiling he would get kicked off the train. So we told him it was OK and he didn't have to smile all of the time. Then at the end of the ride the conductor walks by an d jace gets that same worried smile. He wasn't taking any chances!! I love how he is so obedient! It was a great day and THANK YOU grandpa for taking us! We love you!

Our trip with Grandma Terri and Grandpa Scott

For Easter we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Great in Lake Havasu. Grandpa Rich had broken his hip a couple weeks before and was in a rehab center so we didn't get to see much of him. We hope he heals fast so they can come visit this summer!! We started our trip in Vegas where we met up with My mom and dad driving home from their trip to San Diego watching Jake play baseball. We all stayed at the New York New York hotel so it was fun to all be together on Easter. We spent one night there and my parents were wonderful enough to watch the boys that night so we could play with Bryce"s mom Terri and stepdad Scott. We had so much fun with them. We woke up that next morning to the easter bunny bringing easter baskets and hiding eggs in our hotel. The boys had so fun finding the eggs. Then it was off to Lake Havasu. We had so much fun relaxing swimming walking around by the lake and just spending time as a family. It was really nice to spend time with Terri and Scott and Grandma great. We love them and the boys had so much fun with them!! Thaks for coming with us!!

Happy Easter

IT'S SHOWTYME!!!

Well it's SHOWTYME!! Since it is starting to be warmer weather its time to get washing cars!! This morning before Jace could even get dressed Jace was outside helping his dad wash my car. He was so cute Grandma couldn't find a sweatshirt or anything for him so she put on one of mine!! So If anyone needs a car wash call us up and we will be there!!!!

Meanwhile... While we were outside washing cars Stetson decided he wanted to get in the shower with Grandpa!! He tried get in with him clothes and all. So Grandpa just got him in with him!! I'm so sorry Stetson!! I'm sure he will be scarred for life!

WE HAVE A GIRL!!!

Well Bryce's sister Natalie and her husband Jeremy are the new proud parents of Taylee Ann Thomas. She is a beautiful 6lb 4oz 20.25 inch little girl. It is the third grandchild on Natalie's side (first girl) and the first on Jeremy's side. So lets just say she is going to be VERY spoiled. Natalie did great and the baby is perfect! Good job Nat and Jeremy!!!

Welcome Taylee!!

Pictures??

So I need help. I am wanting to get the boys pictures taken and I need to know a good place to get them done. I always go to Kiddie Kandids and they do ok but I always leave not fully getting what I want. So if anyone has any input on this that would be great!!! Thanks.

Our cruise

Well I finally put some of our pictures up. I still have a bunch of pics to put up courtesy of Leah and Deann but I will have to put them up later. So some of the highlights of our trip was the pizza, swimming pools, the weather, dancing til the wee hours, our family and friends, especially Max the cutest kid who I met on the ship and we became good friends, cocktail wars, and Wes winning Mr. Sapphire Princess which meant he was king of the ship!!! We also did a zip line in Puerto Vallarta and swimming with the dolphins in Cabo San Lucas. If anyone gets a chance to swim with the dolphins I highly recommend it!! It was awesome!!!!!!. In Mazatlan we just went to the beach and enjoyed the Mexicans coming up to us and trying to get us to buy their stuff. All around it was a great trip relaxing and enjoying some time to spend with Bryce as a couple not just as Mom and Dad. Amy was gracious enough to watch our kids and it was so nice to not have to worry about them!! Thank you so much Amy you are the best sister and I can't wait for you guys to go on your cruise and we watch your kids.
