Cherry Creek

 They were happy to have the black truck to play in. It is nice because we don't have to chase Conner around while he is in it. Jared is a good big brother to take him on rides.

 Look at that dirty boy!!! They love getting dirty.

 Conner was being silly by putting Bryce's gloves on his hands.

 Not sure why the boys love playing on the trailer. They send their trucks racing down it.

Over spring break we went to Cherry Creek. We weren't going to go til Wednesday but the weather was going to be bad so we left Monday. We loaded up Sunday after my parents. I went shopping Monday before we left. It was shocking that we got our favorite spot. I didn't think we would. My dad ended up coming down later because he had to visit someone.

We went on some fun rides. We would go for hours at a time because the boys wanted to keep riding. Jared's dirt bike stopped working so he didn't get to ride that much which is sad. They had fun playing in the dirt and on my dad's four-wheeler trailer.

Brian and Tricia came down Wednesday. While we were on a ride my dad and I got lost. We waited for the others when Brian and Tricia showed up. Tricia needed to eat so Conner and I went back with her. I was nervous because we were a long way from camp. We ended up finding our way back. Bryce showed up shortly after we did. My dad and Brian came 1/2 hour later.
After lunch we went on another ride. When we got back it started pouring rain and the wind was blowing hard. Bryce was going to cook something in the dutch oven so they ended up cooking in Brian's trailer. While they were finishing up a lady pulled in needing help with her flat tire. It was crazy because she worked on the mine out there. She was the mechanic. Pretty sad she couldn't fix her own flat tire. I am glad we have the toy hauler because we had plenty of room during the wind/rain storm for everyone to have a seat and the kids could play still.

2nd trip-5days total. Bryce, Jared, Conner, my Dad, Tasha camped. Brian and Tricia came up for the day.

boys in towels!!!

After bath time Jared likes to pretend he is a shark and chase Conner around the house. Conner laughs so hard. I am glad the boys like to play with each other. They do fight a lot too.

Easter 2012

This is Jared running in to find his Easter basket. I guess when Bryce was growing up his dad would hide the basket and the kids would have to find them. So that is what we started doing. Jared found Conner's first then he found his!!!
Conner wasn't quite awake yet. He actually slept in!!! Bryce told Jared to wake him up.
Jared finding his basket.
Conner got bubbles, bubble blower, 2 monster trucks, a large pencil, bat/ball, hat, and matching socks.
Jared got water shoes, a game for his leap pad (wrong game!!!), bat, bubbles, bubble blower, hat, shoes, and large pencil. Conner didn't really care for his hat.


Jared found most of the eggs. Some of the eggs had money, candy, and tattoos in them!!!

 For Easter my parents gave us food storage. The boys had fun scooping the food into the cans. Everyone helped!!!

 While I was getting ready to leave Conner was getting into water. He was dumping it all over the floor by the cans. He ended up slipping and cutting his head open. I made Bryce take us to the ER to make sure that he didn't need stitches since we were going camping that week. When we arrived at the hospital we got to see life flight land. Conner didn't need stitches. 

While we were having the Easter Egg Hunt we saw a snake I started screaming so loud that the neighbors came out to see what was wrong. NASTY!!!

Grandma's Easter Party

Shooting Rockets Grandma gave Jared and Cade Rockets that shoot up. Jared had tons of fun jumping on it to shoot the rocket up in the air. Conner enjoyed finding the rockets and bringing them back to Bryce.
Easter Egg Hunt
Bryce shoveled snow so the boys could have a place to have an Easter Egg Hunt. It is crazy because Provo didn't have any snow but Spanish Fork had tons.


Conner would find eggs but he would open them up to find the candy instead of putting them in his basket. We had to help him so he wouldn't dump out all his candy in the grass.
Jared is a pro at gathering eggs. He puts them in his basket then shows them to us.

Coloring Eggs:The boys had so much fun coloring eggs. Conner of course dumped the green out all over the table but we had newspaper down thank goodness. Jared loved drawing on the eggs with his while crayon he would write 4 and 5's on the eggs. His favorite color is still red.
Chad and Payton coloring eggs.


I really wanted to do a family home evening with the 12 eggs that had something that represented the resurrection of Christ. I never got around to making them. That is my goal for next year to focus on Christ more.

Story Time/Decorating Egg

Aubree, Jay, Jared and I went to the Provo Library to decorate an egg and have story time. He had fun painting his egg. During story time they give them a shape and a coloring page. We ended up a little late because we were painting his egg, he didn't get his shape and he wasn't happy about it (At the end he was able to go get one). The people at story time do a puppet show and sings songs.
