ALOHA!

Me and the kids were pretty sad that Justin had to leave us to head over to Hawaii for some work that needed to be done over there. He was working for two weeks over there. The first week I headed down to Blanding to spend some time with my parents before they went on their mission but the next week I was begging him to come home almost every night. Ha ha, I don't do very well as a single mom. So for the third and final week our sadness came to an end when we were able to join him out there while he finished up his work project. Sara and her kids were also out there with her husband so we were able to spend lots of time with them too. We had to stay close to the hotel while Justin worked because we didn't have a car but we had so much fun out there.

They had entertainment outside our hotel in the evening sometimes.
I was able to watch these dancers from my room while the kids slept.
I love the music that is played for the tourists, it is so relaxing.

I loved the flowers that were everywhere.

Farm Day!!

Found the cutest little farm at Thanksgiving Point this week. Me and my brother Sam took the kids over there. $3.50 for adults and $3 for kids, not too bad for city prices I think. Although shouldn't the kid price be like $2 or something..$.50 off isn't that great I say. The kids loved it and it was one of the few things that I actually found quite relaxing in this crazy city. Hmm, I guess I feel at home around a farm. I don't know.

A guanaco...? Looked like a llama to me.

Jaiden's new timeout :)

Jaiden loved the pony rides.

Splashing in the warm Spring sun

For Memorial Day, Justin was on a business trip so I hung out with my sister Emily for the evening. We went for a little swim and it was fun with my two crazy kids. :) This was Audrey's first time swimming and we found out that she is a natural born swimmer. If you put her on her tummy in the water she would just start kicking her legs and she would get this really serious look on her face.


Jaiden has never been too fond of swimming so he had a fun time splashing on the steps. He would come to the edge of the pool, splash us, then hurry away. He is so much fun.

Penguins!

A few weeks ago, me and my sister-in-law Sara took Jaiden and Sara's little girl Emily to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. Emily was a little scared of all the swimming creatures but Jaiden couldn't get enough. He loved seeing all the fishies. The penguins, I think, were his favorite though. The aquarium was set up so that you could see them swimming around and diving in the water. It was very cool. They also had jelly fish, sharks, alligators, turtles, stingrays, and other various sea life. The sting rays were cool because you could pet them in an open aquarium.

It was very hard to take a picture in there because it was pretty dark and I just really don't know how to make my camera do what it is supposed to do.

Random Pictures of Jaiden

Here are some new pictures of Jaiden, a.k.a. Wolverine, Spiderman, Cyclops, or whatever superhero he is at the moment.

I don't really know why he is pointing at his cheek.

At the park. We love the park especially since we don't have a yard at the moment. Well we have a little bit of new grass that we can play on now. Yay!

She's on the Move!

Just bought Audrey a walker. She loves it so much. She had the biggest smile on her face when she found out she could move it. Believe me, this girl does not like to be confined and Mom is definitely thrilled to have her arms free a little more.

Love that smile!
She just barely had two teeth come in so that is why her poor little chin is so red.

Our Little Audrey :)

Audrey is such a happy girl. Yay, she is 5 months now!

This one is a little blurry but I just love it. She has this look on her face like something serious is going on.

Audrey loves being naked. It is her most favorite thing. As soon as her clothes are off she is grinning and laughing. She also loves to roll around everywhere as soon as you set her down.

5 Months-
Weight: 12 pounds, there's a few extra ounces in there too I just don't remember them.
Height: 24 in.
Ha ha, she is in the 8th percentile, she is a tiny one. :)
She loves grabbing, standing, rolling, drooling, yelling, and of course laughing and smiling. :D
