Mother's Day

Sunday afternoon my family all met at the park for lunch and a game of softball. It was fun for all of us to get together. It seems rare these days for all of us to be at one place anymore.

ZOO DAY!

Jason was so sweet and planned to celebrate my Mother's Day on Saturday because Sunday we had plans with my Mom. He planned the whole day out.... We went to the zoo with Nicole and Matt. It was Mom and Me weekend so by buying a T-shirt we got free admission, free ice cream and some other stuff too. It was a perfect day for the zoo!



We didn't make it into the bird show but we were able to go down after and see the birds up close.

This bird was taking money from people and putting it into the donation bucket. Channel 2 news was there and Saddie was on the news at 10 that night.

This funny penguin was digging a hole right by the fence...So funny!

All tuckered out!

After the zoo we went to eat and then headed up to Park City outlets to shop. Jason got a little frustrated because I couldn't find anything I really liked. We were mostly looking for church clothes. I just could not bring myself to spend money on stuff I just didn't love! It was such a fun day! We were going to go to a movie too but I was so tired from walking all day!

SEALING DAY!

What a special day! Saturday April 18, Julia was sealed to the Stout family. I wish I could have been there. Everyone said it was so sweet and spiritual. Poor little Julia has had RSV and been so sick. She just looked around with a what's going on look the whole time. We met them over at the Jordan River Temple and then went to lunch. I feel so at peace and so happy for them! Jason was saying how neat it will be when one day Lara Julia and I can all go to the Temple together. I agree.

Some of my side of the family couldn't make it but all of Mitch's family were there and lots of friends too.

Easter Fun!

We woke up to a house full of eggs. The kids hunted around and also had to find their baskets that the bunny hid. After church we headed up to Grandma and Grandpas for our traditional Easter egg hunt and breakfast. Grandpa made his famous sweedish pancakes...SOOO yummy! Then the kids had a big hunt in the back yard and got money and lots of candy! We ate some more and Jason dropped the kids off at their Grandma and Grandpa Christensens for another hunt. Mikayla got to open some late Bday presents and they said they had fun visiting with all the cousins. All in all we had another Happy Easter thanks to everyone for making it such a great day!

Spring Time!!

Warm weather is the BEST! It has been so nice to be able to send the kids out side to play!

Remember the thrill of "no hands"?

Jason bought Saddie her first real bike. Of corse it's Dora. She decided she wanted to be a big girl and try it out. She did great and loved it!

My little animal lover has made a new friend in the neighborhood. No, it's not the dog. It's the dogs owner, a girl names Shaylee. They played house with this cute "puppy" for hours over the weekend. (I think Brinley uses kids to get to their pets!)

The Jazz Game!!

Our good friends Heather and Jayson invited us to front row seats Jazz game. Of course they invited us on April fools day, and then said April fools. Then after I told them how mean they were they said April fools again.! I can't even express how awesome it was! We were literally the front row! It was hard to watch the game because we were right next to the Timber Wolves bench and watching them was entetaining enough! It's such a different game down there! I never would have guessed they were so fast and powerful! We lost by one point which I was a little sad but I just loved being there watching them play that I really didn't care.

This is Jason Collins, we sat right next to him! He plays for the Twolves and his twin brother Jared plays for the Jazz. Jason talked to him a few times. He asked him about practices and about being 2 in. taller than his brother. He said he ate more so that's why he's taller. He smiled for me to take a picture but our dumb camera was too slow! He was really nice!

The Jazz bear put rubber gloves on our heads.

This is Timber Wolves coach. Kevin Mckale. (Not sure how to spell it.) He looks just like Jasons uncle Richard. Jason had to touch the floor.

We had such a blast! We also got to eat dinner in the VIP room and also got to go in at half time for drinks and nachos and popcorn. Thanks so much for the great nigh out!!!
