More April fun

Tyler planned a birthday geteway for me this year and we went up to a condo in Ogden canyon.  It was still cold up there but so beautiful.  It was so nice to spend quality time just as a couple before the summer craziness began!  We watched movies, played games, went to the Temple and stayed up way to late talking!  I love this man so much!  The thought of him going to Kansas just kills me, but I know we will be stronger from it.   

Since Tyler was leaving soon we decided to get some family time.  We invited the Masons to come to Traflaga.  It was cold but it was still fun.  Aspen and Danny even got to do laser tag for the first time.  Aspen sure loves to rock climb and Grandpa even got up there to help her.  Of course we all loved the race cars!    

We were surprising Aspen for her 5th birthday and going to Disneyland in May.  Originally we wanted to just wake her up and tell her the day of, but since Tyler was leaving to Kansas for 3 weeks we thought it would be fun for her to have something to look forward to.  So I made her a mickey mouse countdown and we than showed her a bunch of videos about Disneyland.  She squealed with delight and gave both Tyler and I the biggest hug.  It was the best surprise ever!

Aspen got to celebrate her early birthday at school.  She colored her poster and wrote a few of her favorite things.  Than I made cupcakes for her class to celebrate!  The poster says:

My best friends are: Cade, Kylee, Kaia, Michael, and Owen- Her cousins

Favorite Movie: Tangled

Things I like to do: Ride bikes, swimming and swing at playground

Favorite food: Cake, broccoli

Some places I have been: Seaworld/Legoland, Oregon Coast, St. George

My favorite color: Pink



 

My Boys!

For my birthday Tyler had these awesome pictures of him and the boys and than he had Sarah put them in a collage.  Best present ever.  I love it and i love my boys!  Danny was actually being really soft in this picture, but Colt just wasn't having it.



 

Danny and Colt like to party

On Monday we through a joint family party for Colt and Danny!  It was a superhero "art" theme and I had a blast planning it.  Danny is really into art right now so we did tons of art activities.  We put together their art easels for their party favors, than painted art easels and than did a color spinning activity.  All the cousins had a blast.  Than it was time for cake!  Colt got the traditional tennis ball cake.  He was not afraid to dive right in.  He is our sweet tooth boy and hes not afraid to make a mess.  Danny is obessed with superheros right now and since we were going with the art theme we decorated this awesome art superman cake.  I came up with the idea and Tyler executed the design on rice cake paper.  I am sure if we were professionals it would have turned out even cuter, but I couldn't be more proud.  Danny was excited and that was the most important part!  Than it was time for presents! Once again the boys got spoiled.  I love having their parties on a different day then there actual birthdays because than the stress is over with. 

Coltster is ONE!

How is my baby one!  This kid is the funniest baby.  He is easy going and happy all the time.  He can eat more food than should be humanly possible!  He really loves breakfast food.  He isn't picky and will eat just about anything but he really loves bananas, avocados, hard boiled eggs and rice.  He is a mommy's boy and really enjoys nursing.  I am nervous and how he will react when I quit nursing him.  He loves to watch Aspen and Danny play, but doesn't like it when they pick up him or boss him around.  He is walking along furniture and crawling like crazy, but he has no interest in walking.  When Colt cries you know its him because it is a screech and it hurts your ears, but he has brought so much joy into this house and has the biggest smile I have ever seen!  You can tell Colt will be our sneaky trouble maker, but hes so darn cute its hard to keep a straight face with him.  Here is his 12 month stats:

• 17lbs (less than 3%)


• 28 inches (4%)


• 45cm head circ (13%)

We are having his party on Monday with Danny's so today I made his favorite pancakes, chocolate avocado and we sang to him!  This boy is such a joy!
