ZOEY!!!
Lauren and Zoey, we had just come back from the vet where Zoey got her first shots. Then Lauren got out her doctor kit, and was trying to give Zoey more shots. Lauren before Zoey every morning wanted mom, now she wakes up and asks for ZOEY! She just loves her.
Zoey exploring her new environment. She has been a really good puppy. Doing great with the potty training, the kids love her, she's playful and loves to be loved.
Lauren, Brooklynn, Brendan posing with Zoey, the newest member of the family. We got her on Monday night, Trevor and I made a deal, if he takes out the pond in the backyard (which was there when we moved in 2 1/2 years ago), then he can get a dog. The pond was gone in one week Trevor took it out, layed sod, and landscaped (he was amazing). And now we have our Zoey and she has been fun. We haven't had a dog since Apollo almost three years ago, we now have bigger family, older kids (who help out) and our excited to have a little puppy in our house. Brooklynn always wants to have money, so I made a deal with her, this summer she can earn a $1.00 a week if she picks up the doggies poopies. Brendan (who is very loving) told me the other day in the car, "Mom I just love Zoey", but "Mom I love you too."

Brendan
Brendan's last day of preschool, both Lauren and him at the bike parade. They decorated their bikes and rode around the West Point Park. Then we played and had lunch. He will be in a different preschool next year, going three days a week (he's getting so big). Lauren loved the bike parade as well, even if she was coming up last, she just keep going along. Slow and Steady-Good for her!!
Brendan's Graduation from "Rising Stars Preschool", he had a performance and program. He had a great year in preschool, and has really learned alot over this past year! Good for him! Brooklynn and Lauren were just as excited as Brendan to be going to his program that night.
Brendan in his cap, all smiles after graduation! Daddy brought home fun goodies to have a special dessert night (lots of toppings). Mom and Dad are so proud of you BUBBA! You are such big boy now, keep learning. We love you!!

Bees Game
Family night at the Bees baseball game, the kids loved watching the game. Brendan was really into the game, and when Bumble came around he had him sign his mitt. Bumble wrote on Brooklynn and Lauren's hand, we will keep going throughout the season. Yeah Baseball!!
Easter
Mom dying easter eggs, we had a great time.
Brendan coloring his easter egg. He wanted to keep going even after dying 18 eggs!
Here comes the dye! Lauren's second time dying but here first time to really remember it. She was so excited when she realized what we were going to do with the food! Brooklynn being the great big sister that she is, taught Lauren the in's and out's of easter egg dying.
Lauren's being really careful not to spill, Brooklynn's got multiple eggs going at the same time.
Syracuse city had their Easter egg hunt, and
the bunny to boot! Lauren wouldn't sit on the
Easter bunny's lap unless Brooklynn held her.
She's keeping her eye on him.
But mom still succeeded in getting a quick picture before the moment was gone.
Ready, set, go, the kids have to get as many as possible. At first Lauren was overwhelmed with all the kids running, but soon realized there was candy involved and jumped right in. Brendan and Brooklynn had a plan and didn't hesitate.
Nice picture of mom, always in the kitchen.

Goblin Valley
Stu, Brooklyn, Brendan and Trevor went to Goblin Valley State Park, UT. This is one of the coolest places on earth. just take a look!
The first day was very windy and we ended up sleeping in the van because the would have broke the tent poles. The next day was perfect weather and we hiked Little Wild Horse Canyon and hiked around Goblin Valley. The last day was great weather as well and hiked deep into the valley. Love it there, every time I go it is different.

Sea World
Sea World has to be the best theme park I have ever been to!! Everyone loved it.
We fed the Dolphins and the Bat Rays which was the coolest. We went to most of the shows and all of the hands on exhibits. I think you need 2 days there in order to do and see everything, but what we where able to do was great, loved it.

Sledding at night
We took the kids sledding after Trevor arrived home from work. Lauren was a little timid at first but in no time she was carrying her tube up by herself and diving on the tube going down by herself. Brooklynn and Brendan had great time as well and we had to bribe them off the hill with hot chocolate.
