California Trip

Okay so I know I'm a little late with this post but this one is about our March trip to California to see Lukes brother and to play. We were able to go for five days and decided fly instead of drive that far with two crazy kids. They had a blast on the one flight and it saved us from the insanity of driving. As always we were spoiled by Kylie who always takes us to amazing restaurants and shows such great hospitality. We did lots of shopping and lounging and playing on the beach and laughing. It is always soooo much fun and these are some of my favorite pictures.

Beck was actually really fun at the beach, he even liked the water.

Chalyn on the other hand was a sissy but still fun

They definately loved watching out the window

This was taken about five minutes after chalyn puked, at least it was only once.

Zions

So this past weekend we went back to St. George mostly for me to catch up on everyone's hair but we were able to play a little bit too. we were hanging out at my moms house friday night and I was talking to my sister in law about not really having much to do the next day and we quickly decided it would be fun to go to Zions. We were able to talk most of my family into going (even the preggo girls) and found some free passes. It really was so much fun to hike, play in the water, and picnic, although I think all the kids needed was to ride the bus (shuttle) and they were happy. And even though it was a warm day it all went really great. Here are a few pics.

Beckham's First Birthday

My sweet baby boy turned one on May 22nd. We went to St. George so that we could have a party with all of the cousins and it turned out really fun. We went to the park and had a water balloon fight, barbequed, did a pinata, let the kids play on the play ground and did cake and gifts like normal. It was a perfect day and the kids were all really fun. Beckham was a little grumpy at first but then as soon as he ate he was in a much better mood. Beckham is really such a sweetheart. He is always smiling and is so mild mannered. He is really lovey and playful and now that he is a little bit older his personality is coming out and he is such a tease. He is definately a mommas boy and I absolutely love it. I feel so blessed to get to be the mother of such beautiful little spirits. Here are some of the pictures of the party.

such a sweet boy

first one to take a whack at the pinata

He was a lot more mild about attacking his cake than I thought he would be

Gift time

I Love his wobbly little walk!


He got some pretty fun things for his birthday. We gave him some clothes, a tonka dump truck, and a t-ball toy. He also got a little pop up tent and toys from grandma and grandpa Fullmer, more clothes, bath toys and a movie and book from grandma and grandpa Beaumont.

Hee Haw Farms

A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to Hee Haw Farms to play for the day. I didn't really know what to expect but we really had such a blast. We fed all the baby animals, went on a hayride, went down a giant slide, did a train ride, chalyn rode a horse for her first time, and they had lots of other little things to do in between. Thanks mom for the free tickets!




Chalyn stuck pretty close to Luke the whole time they were in the pen because she was pretty nervous of the animals, but right at the end she got brave and went to feed one sheep on it's own. When another sheep came over she stood her ground but pretty soon there were like five sheep surrounding her and she went running quick.

Easter

I know I am such a slacker at this blogging thing but even though i'm way behind i didn't want to be a quitter, so here are a few new posts about what we've been up to.
This year for easter we went to St. George to be with my family again. We always have so much fun and it's always nice to get out of our cold weather and get some sunshine.
