St George

We went to St George with our family for Easter this year. We got to stay at Aunt Perry's house again and had tons of fun with our Berry cousins before they moved up to Cody. Poor little Sam broke his leg the week before so he had to do a lot of sitting but he was a great sport. Liz and Taylor came up from AZ for the day to snuggle the snuggliest baby ever born. He's 16 lbs of pure love and I can't get enough of him. Luckily we get to go to Cody next month to see them. Hopefully he's not too grown up for snuggling by then. We got to see Rio which is a must see for the kids. We went mountain biking at our favorite Green Valley Trail, the boys golfed and we spent lots of time at Sand Hollow swimming in the lake and riding 4wheelers at the sand dunes. We had an Easter egg hunt with Nilsen clan and spent much needed time with Grandma and Aunt Debbie. I even made customized cake pop carrots for all the kids to find at their Easter Egg hunt. Next time I am making them smaller. They were cuter and the big ones are a little bit of cake pop overload. PS I just barely, after nearly 4 years of blogging figured out how to load multiple of pictures at a time. I swear that didn't used to be an option.

*heidi I am still waiting for a Cody post. Just one. Maybe I'll post a Cody 4th of july for you when we're in town.

SL Real

We have been able to go to some of the SL Real games this year and have had tons of fun. Milo's soccer team went out on the field for the Parade of Kings to welcome the players onto the field. We had a great time and the kids wanted to take a picture of the ute mascot and he was happy to oblige. Go Utes! (milo thinks he's a byu fan, but I am working on that) The big boys even get into the game and like to watch the players and learn some "moves" from the pros.

New Plan Birthday Boy

So Josh and I had been planning the funnest birthday party ever. We had rented out he Rad Canyon BMX track, invited tons of friends and family, had the cupcakes made, the milo's personal cake made, had enough nacho stuff to feed the whole ward and watched the weather all week to see what Milo's birthday party fate would be. For the first time his party got rained out. I spend his whole birthday calling people to cancel the party and figuring something else out that would be fun for him. We ended up at laser tag with some neighbor kids and a couple of cousins. After we came back to our house for an all you can eat cupcake and nacho buffet and a little b-ball. Milo is a funny kid. He doesn't really love toys, so he is a little hard to shop for. We ended up getting him some basketball cards, a fox racing hat, some clothes, and a wii game. He was a happy little camper and spent the days following sorting through his new card collection and learning all the NBA players he could handle. He was a little disappointed when I told him that Michael Jordan no longer plays basketball and came home to break the news to all his kindergarten friends. Cute kids.
