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.

Ultrasound

April had her ultrasound yesterday and everything is fine. We did not find out what we will be having because we like the surprise. However, April is think it is a girl, she has not been wrong in past, I hope she is.

Any name suggestions?

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.

Las Vegas

We stopped in Vegas on our way down to San Diego for Melanie's wedding. We stayed at the Tropicana, one of cheapest on the strip and has a inside pool which was not as warm as we anticipated. We walked around for a little bit and went to the Mandalay Bay to check out the shark reef aquarium, awesome!!
