Sunday at the Parks

One Sunday Afternoon

One Bike Ride

Four Different Parks

...a LOT of FUN!

and one hurt Alex (which wasn't so fun)

My boys have always been really interested in planets and stars

(They even did reports on the different planets last summer...for fun)

Alex has his room decorated with planets and stars

I had a Saturday off from teaching my cake classes, so we decided to go to the

Clark Planetarium

Caleb, Leah and Alex telling us the future weather forecast

The 3D Hubble Movie was awesome!

I think we looked awesome too with our big 3D bug eyes

Aunt Robin and Aunt Denise came with us

We're planning to go again another day to watch the Night Vision show.

Rad Kid

Alex's RADkids graduation

Every Friday for one hour Alex has been going to RADkids.

They teach the kids what to do in a bad situation...RUN AWAY!

But, if a person grabs them, they have permission to hurt them until they let go.

They got to practice a "real life" senario with the man in the red suit.

He grabbed Alex and even picked him up.

Alex did great using all of the skills he had learned.

Way to go, Alex!

Mother's Day

I have been wanting/needing more countertop space and storage space in my kitchen for a long time now. I have been watching sales for these portable islands and finally found one that I like and during a time I had some extra money to buy one! I am so excited for all the extra space. I feel like it's so much space I don't know what to do with it. Both cabinets are practically empty still. Slowly, I'm finding which things to store inside.

I love it!

I considered it an early Mother's Day present from myself!

For Mother's Day I received these beautiful flowers from Jon.

Alex made me a paper flower at school.

Caleb made a M-O-M card that was really colorful and cute.

Leah planted a flower seed at school and had been caring for it. She gave me the plant.

We went to Nephi on Mother's day to celebrate with Jon's mom.

We also got to see Christel and her kids .

Spring Break 2010

My mom and I took the the kids to Trafalga one day

We did mini golf

and played in the arcade

We also went to the zoo with my friend Rachelle and her boy Drayton

30th Birthday...what a surprise!

Jon made me a yummy potatoe and egg breakfast for my birthday this morning.

My kids made me a cute birthday crown and colorful sticker to wear for my birthday. They also made a lot of cute decorations like a birthday banner and some state flags.

Jon took the day off of work so he could come with me to Leah's parent/teacher conference and to spend the day with her since she didn't have school (or so I though). I went shopping by myself to try to find some new clothes (unsuccessfully...I couldn't decide on anything!) After he got the kids from school we went to the library and the park for the kids to play. When we got home there was a house full of people, a cake, presents, 30 balloons, and 30 roses! I was really surprised! It was such a great day. Thanks to my grandparents, parents, Randa & kids, Kristi Parker & Logan, Denise and Robin for coming to the surprise party!

Rollerskating

Eric planned a surprise birthday party for Randa at Classic Skating in Orem. We all showed up and surprised her for her 30th birthday. The kids had a lot of fun riding around on their scooters. Alex decided he wanted to try skates. He only went about 15 feet, falling about 5 times and couldn't gain his balance, so he decided to stick with the scooter. It was fun.
