JumpZone

he wouldn't even stop for a pic, this is mid run.

it was hard to get a good pic of him sliding, too bad because it was so cute!

Last night Ryan and I took Nathan and Collin and met up with our friends Brach and Nicole and their kids at JUMPZONE in Redlands. The kids had a blast. I was so surprised to see Nathan running around and going up and down the slides all by himself. He can be kind of a wimp sometimes, so I thought he would be too nervous. I've never seen the kid play so hard. It's a great place if your looking for something new to do with your kids.

Best Buds

Nathan feeding the goats at Bracken Bird Farm

Nathan gets so excited now when I tell him we're going to go hang out with his friends. You can ask him who his best friends are and he says Dillon, and Coopa, and Randy. Lucky for me their Moms are pretty fun to hang out with too :-) Love you guys, Nicole and Ashley

He can light up a room

The pictures so don't capture his real smile, but you can see his whole face light up when he smiles. It melts my heart everyday.

Mr. Frog

So Collin is obsessed with this frog that hangs over his seat and plays music. i just put it up last week and he loves to smile and stare. To my astonishment last night,Ryan and I watched him bat at the frog and then he actually got a hold of it and made it play the music. This kid is going to grow up too fast!

Sweethearts

Ryan and I were so excited to leave both kids for the first time at my parents and go to the San Bernardino stake sweethearts dance. It was a lot of fun. I have pictures of us and our friends at this dance every year we go. I'm so thankful for good friends and my sweetheart, Ryan.

He does listen . . .

Sometimes I wonder whether or not I'm really instilling a love for the gospel in Nathan. It's so hard to know if they really get it when you pray and read the scriptures. Usually when we pray before bedtime Nathan just copies everything I say, finally the other night he said his own prayer it went like this
Nathan: "Heavenly Father. Thank you for daddy. Thank you for doctors, Thank you for my shot. Thank you prophet, bless prophet. . . Mommy do it"
And then I helped him finish. I don't know where the doctor thing came from, he hasn't had a shot for a while but it obviously left an impression.

Collin's Blessing

Grandma and Grandpa (my parents)

Today was a special day, we blessed Collin. Ryan's parents along with Cam and A'lea came down from Utah and both of our families were together. I love family so mauch, I'm so thankful for the gospel and the knowledge we can be together forever. I'm grateful for my husband and the priesthood he holds, that he was able to bless both of our children.
