Easter Fun

My mom has made a bunny cake every year since I was born. Now it was my turn. Cute huh?

On Easter we went to church at my parent's ward and then had lunch with them. Next we headed over to Ryan's grandparent's house for a yummy ham dinner. Nathan had a blast hunting eggs three different times and eating way too much candy. Watching him get so excited about the Easter bunny is fun but I think my favorite thing about Easter was the message Bishop Ferry gave in Relief Society. He shared a story about a woman who was over burdened, who felt like she was doing all she could but still wasn't really happy. Her husband told her All she could do was her best and then turn the rest over to the Savior. He is there to make up the difference for us, in him we find true peace and happiness.

Utah Trip

Collin laughing at Daddy

The cousins Chloe, Bridget, Nathan and Collin (took all four parents making silly faces and continuously putting kids back on the couch, but we got the picture)

Making a snow angel and throwing a snowball at Daddy and Grampie. What a shock to go from 85 degree weather in California to snow in Utah.

Riding the horse Nana and Grampie have at their house

It had been over a year since we went up to Utah so our trip last weekend was over due. We stayed with Ryan's parents in Mapleton and spent some good quality family time together. The road trip was interesting with a 2 year old and a two month old. We definitely made more stops than usual but surprisingly the crying was minimal in part due to the portable dvd player.

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.

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.
