More Spring Fun!

To continue our adventures, we spent the day in Zion with Aaron's sister Natalie and her family. The kids had a fun time hiking to the waterfalls and riding the tram. It was a fun day and we enjoyed spending time with our cousins.

We have been working in our yard like crazy and it is finally done!!!!! The house we live in burnt down a few years ago and was completely rebuilt but the yard was untouched. It has always been a beautiful yard but the grass was old and uneven and the fence was rotting so we have been working hard to fix it up. The fence looks great and it is so nice to have. We are looking forward to a lot of family play time this summer on our brand new sod, Yeah!

Spring Update... Where Have We Been?

We have been so busy these last few months, time just flew on by. I wanted to update everyone on what we have been up to. We went and stayed in Las Vegas at Grandma's for 2 weeks for swimming lessons. Jackson loved every minute of it and Kennedy thought she was being tortured (she more or less was!). Jackson made a lot of progress this year and swims like a little pro and Kennedy can flip to her back and get a breath and grab a wall to hold on for dear life, YEAH! A little comfort to Mom.

While we were there we went to the drag races with Grandma and Grandpa. It took Jackson a little while to warm up to the loud cars but Kennedy loved it the whole time. There was a car show and Kennedy found a car just her size, how cute!

We had such a fun time visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Las Vegas. We love you guys! I'll have to do my update in 2 parts so stay tuned :)!!

Jackson's Last Day of School

Jackson finished his first year of preschool. He had so much fun this year and he grew so much. His teacher was darling and helped Jacks out a lot. She was always so patient through his meltdowns:) The kids did a little program at the park on their last day. It was really cute and they got to show off everything they had been learning.

There's a Circus in Town!

Aaron picked up some tickets to a circus at the gas station. The tickets said free admission for kids so we started asking around to find out what this was. We heard it was a traveling circus straight out of LAS VEGAS and there were going to be elephants and trapeze artists and daredevils and motorcycles...sounds like fun, right? We show up and what a joke! It was the biggest scam I've ever seen. They charged an arm and a leg to get in and then we had to pay for everything once we were in. The kids wanted to ride the ponies and that was cute..but the circus was more like a freak show. . A 9 year old girl from Hungary was forced to hang on a rope while her dad twirls it around, pretty sad. The elephant walked by the crowd for a few minutes and then got locked in a trailer, WHAT? And there weren't any motorcycles or daredevils in sight. It was heartbreaking...the stars of the show were 2 kids from Hungary. To make it all worse the wind was blowing like crazy and we were all freezing. At intermission the stands pretty much cleared out and I felt really bad. We ended up parking the truck where we could see and watching the rest nice and warm inside. Jackson just keeps saying how awesome the circus was so I guess that's all that matters, maybe one day he can see what a real circus is...the poor kid.

Blogger I Am!

I am officially a blogger, I guess I've been too afraid of all the psychos out there before. I have definitely been missing out on all the fun. Kara will be so proud.
