Grandma and Grandpa visit!

In April my parents were able to come out to visit. We had such a wonderful time with them and miss them so much. We did all sorts of things while they were here. Before grandma came she promised that she would go and have lunch with Cameron at his school so the friday they were here we were able to meet Cameron at the school for lunch. He was so excited to show grandma and grandpa the school and what he was eating for lunch. My dad even had the opportunity to read a book to Cameron's class, it was so cute to see and all the kids really enjoyed it. On Saturday Cameron had a soccer game, he was so excited to have grandma and grandpa there to watch. We also colored some easter eggs with them. Owen wasn't very friendly and kindly avoided my parents, but on sunday he sat on Grandpa's lap during sacrament meeting. Luke was so excited to spend time playing with grandpa while Cameron was at school. Cameron and Luke both rode with me to take them back to the airport and they both cried for 20 mins or so on the way home, because they missed grandma and grandpa. It broke my heart to see them so sad. Cameron kept on saying we just love it when they are here and Luke kept asking why they had to go home so soon. It was hard to see them so sad, but I told them that we will see them again sometime soon, not sure how soon but that seemed to help. We sure love having them here and miss them when they are not!!! We love you grandma and grandpa!! Thanks for coming to visit us!















Field trip with Cameron

I was able to go on Cameron's second field trip with him. We went to a place called Owen's farm. We had so much fun and I enjoyed being able to spend the day with just Cameron. We got to feed some goats, go on a hay ride, see some other animals, eat lunch and play on a huge pile of hay. I had such a great time with him.

Luke's preschool graduation!

On March 30, Luke had his preschool graduation. Yes, you might think March is early for that but his teacher was having a baby in April and decided to end early, which all of us moms kept on telling her to do. Luke loved preschool and is excited to go back again this next fall. There was a little ceremony, gave out awards, sang to all of us, and we got to see a slide show. I am so impressed with how much he has come along since the start of the year. Thanks Mrs. Tamra for all you have done for Luke!! We are excited to come by and see that sweet baby girl of yours!!


WHAT?!

What happens when your 4 year old gets a hold of the camera. He took like 50 some odd pictures of random things around the house such as shoes, toys, walls, rooms, furniture, and then these came along...


I was laughing so hard I couldn't get mad at him. Nice face Cameron!!

Owen 20 months old!

Allen Americans!!

In March we took the boys to a Hockey game. The town next to ours just got a hockey team and a nice arena that is only 5 minutes from our house, the team is called the Allen Americans. It was way nice to only have a 5 min ride home after the game. Reid's brother Russell was in town again for work and went with us. The boys loved it! I was kind of hesitant in taking them but they really liked it, even Owen. I forgot how long those games are though, we didn't get out of there until almost 10:30pm, but the kids were good the entire time and didn't even want to leave when it was over.

Zoo!

In March we went to the Fort Worth Zoo with some friends. We decided to go spring break week and it was way busy, but we still had a great time. It was the first time that Owen was actually old enough to notice the animals and he was so excited to see them all. He had to get out of the stroller at every exhibit so he could get a better look. It was fun to watch his excitement.
