"It's what fun is" (June 18th trip to Utah)

We had a great time visiting with our families while in Utah. The most exiting day was our trip to Lagoon and Lagoona beach. Owen conquered his fear of Bulgy the Whale... ( I have a really cute picture of Owen screaming his head off, last year on bulgy the whale) I will find it and post it soon! We spent the rest of the day running around to all the rides with the cousins. Both of the youngest boys, Drew and Caleb, stayed behind with Grandma and Papa at their house. Caleb was well behaved for grandma and probably really happy he was not stuck in the stroller all day at Lagoon! As we were really happy not to be pushing him around all day!

June 10th, Dolphin Exhibit.

Took the boys to the Dolphin exhibit at the Mirage with some friends. It is always an adventure taking the kids downtown and through the casinos but well worth it, especially in this case. We had a great time and will most likely revisit the dolphins.

May 27th Last day of Preschool

Mrs Katherine hosted a party at the park for all the kids on there last day of preschool. Owen had a blast playing in the water with his classmates. Then we had a pizza lunch and Mrs Katherine presented the kids with keepsake yearbooks she handmade for each of the them. It was very nice and we miss you so much Mrs Katherine!

The "after" pics are first if you can't tell. The last picture is Owen saying CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE for the camera!

Over Mother's Day weekend my dad, his wife, my sister, her husband, her baby, and my brother all came to visit us! It was a full house but a fun house and it was great to all be together which does not happen very often. Owen had an especially fun time building a "volcano" with grandad and convincing granddad to build and rebuild about a million sand castles he could stomp.

Mother's Day Program

Owen's Preschool class had a program and lunch on the Thursday before Mothers Day. Owen said his part of the poem and even sang all the songs with his class. Although during most of the singing Owen was lying on the ground doing snow angels he was still singing! The kids filled out a questionnaire about their own mom and prepared a gift that they presented to their mom at the end of the program. It was really fun to see Owen and his class so excited about the things they made for their moms!
