Rolling Easter Eggs Party.

Last Easter we continued Rusty's family tradition of rolling Easter eggs down the hill. So For Harper's Easter birthday party we went to Bountiful and had a picnic with Grandma Connie, Aunt Brittany, and Cousins Mekenzie and Marshall. Grandma Connie made homemade fried chicken and it was so good. We then had fun rolling Easter eggs down the hill then rolling ourselves down the hill. (not recommend for adults. Ask Uncle David about that.) It was a blast. We had a jelly bean cake for Harper and Grandpa Carl that was delicious.




Mekensie taught Harper last year and Harper taught Ben this year. Before we traveled to Bountiful we died 12 dozen Easter eggs. 10 for the Easter bunny to hide and 2 to throw. By the way I know the Easter bunny personally and we are still finding Easter eggs.

First Movie in the Theater

We have fallen behind because of all the happenings going on around us so I decided to try and catch up and just post from where we left off. Harpers Birthweek. We started his birthweek celebration by taking him to see his first movie in the Theater. We watched the 2D version of Monsters vs. Aliens. He watched the whole thing on the big giant screen in the loud theater and seemed to really like it. He had a straight face the whole time but didn't stop talking about after it was over for days. Now when we drive past the theater he talks about it and tells everyone that's where he went to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was a good start to his birth week celebration.

Girls night out

For Heathers 30th Birthday I decided we needed to lose our pedicure virginity. It was a blast. I surprised her with pedicures. I was nervous like it was a first date for some reason but it was awesome. We went to our traditional restaurant Applebees then I drove her to Grassroots for our pedicures. Since it was our first time I bought her some flip flops and Capri lounge shorts just in case. She picked out hot pink nail polish and I got vampire red ( really its grandma red but they lied to me and told me that it didn't look like that.). We finally have a decent picture of both of us too. Not the one we are in the room but the close up one. Heather is cute I'm a hippo but its cool. They asked on the form if we had any foot fungus's I told them that i didn't think so and I hoped not. They didn't say anything so I think everything went well. I kidnapped Heather for a little while after and we just drove around and talked like the olden days. It was a long overdue amazing girls "moms" night out. Love you Heather thank you for over 15 years of friendship.

ice skating

For my Uncles Birthday he rented the Ice sheet in Ogden and let us all go ice skating. It was so much fun. Harpers favorite part was falling he looks terrified in the picture below but he really did have fun. Ben said he was stuck when we put his skates on. It was really cute. We finally found something that stops Ben. Harper and I crashed once he thought it was so funny all it did was prove that I'm old and bruised my knees all up. Shantel and I played Olympics and skated in a circle we are pretty good.

Today the boys and I (Rusty) went to the park. It was a beautiful day! Harper went on the smallest slide about 100 times and Ben was a brave toaster and booked it up the playground to the highest slide well over my head and down he went. It was fun trying to not have a hart attack and hold the camera while catching him going down the slide all at the same time. Here are a few pics.

Cinnimon rolls! well frosting when mom watches us.

February flew by to fast as most months do now. Rusty and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on the 17th. I was sick in bed all day boo! We were able to go to a church Valentine dance on Friday the 13th it was pretty awesome. It was fun I bought Rusty a new shirt and tie for Valentines day which I gave him a little early to wear to the dance. Rusty bless his heart tried to buy me a dress for the dance. Uh...Its good... hum... its hard to buy dresses. Gold stars for the attempt but really epic fail. On Valentines day we to the movies and watched Twilight. Its good we like bandwagons. Rusty gave me a new little laptop to do my work on and its great of course the boys think it is theirs. I gave Rusty a new lens for his camera which I don't think he likes lol he has only taken a million pictures with it since. We went to our friends house to celebrate Jovies birthday and Harper just moves in whenever we visit them. Ben was teasing Mike with the balloons. he would let them go as soon as Mike would sit back down to watch him jump back up to get them. It was a lot of fun. I have been watching the boys in the mornings for the last few days because Rusty was helping my Dad move my aunt Kay to a new house. Daddy is rules rules rules Mommy lets them eat cake. we took these pictures during our frosting I mean Cinnamon roll breakfast like that's better.

Its about time

Sorry it has been so long since our last post and they have been kind of sad. January has just been crazy and February isn't slowing down either. Well it is probably slowing down for my pregnant friends. My lost my life away from work with the Twilight series. I have like 10 pages left of Breaking Dawn but Harper told me last night that he was mad at me for reading my stupid book and not playing with him so I will have to finish it later. I won't lie it is taunting me to finish but how can you resist your kids pleas for some of your time. Work has been hard my buddy tsm comes back next week so I will only have 12 stores to take care of instead of 19 so hopefully I will have a little more time. I was able to spend some time with a lot of friends this month which was great. We spend an very fun night with the Mcmerricks and some hillbillie bought us pizza that was nice. Harper just walked right in like he owned the house. Ben was a little more timid until he met the dogs. He wouldn't stop kissing them oh and feeding them. Harper was impressed by Mikes railroad truck and on our way home we were stopped by a train he said he was going to call Mike and have him drive his truck on the tracks to push that naughty train out of the way. He vented about that for the rest of the drive home. I was a brave toaster and sang Beat it on Guitar hero world tour. I epic failed but its cool. Heather was nice enough to let the no singing Bon Jovi songs ban that we have had forever lift for the night so I could try and sing living on a prayer. Anonymous still rocks!

We spent the last week of the month at our friends the Coreys house. It was a blessing for us and probably killed them but we really appreciate it. I had to work in Orem all week and seriously it helped so much not having to drive down there everyday and back. Harper had so much fun with Mantha they were glued to each other all week. We tried letting them have a bath together but Harper picked that time to go potty in the tub. That was goodtimes like every potty in the bath time is.

Thank you Heather and Kimby for playing with us this month even though I know you both are tired and pregnant. We all had so much fun. Love you guys.

Rusty has spent the last week resurrecting his van. The computer has been acting up when he plays wow. He hasn't been able to play only talk and do little things. I think it is the wow virus I have been warning him about for months. He took Harper out on a father son Photo shoot taking pics of wildlife. They both had so much fun.

Harper is a big boy and gave up the bottle. 2 1/2 thats fine. He has been clean for a week and is doing so good. I am so proud of him. Ben is getting teeth everyday so he has kind of been a bear but he is cute what can you do. Harper started eating and Ben has been feeding the dog his. Ben has the music in him and can't help but dance. He started singing the move it move it song.

Well this was a long blog I attached this awesome video of Rusty to sum up January.
