More Adventures in Missouri

 Ring Pops for the boys.  Yes Henry got the blue one.

 We found a park with a rock wall.  Way fun!!

We went to the museum on base and I tried to get a picture of Henry but he screamed every time I pointed the camera at him.

Fistan however was willing to pose every time!  I did sneak a picture of Henry. 

After we looked at most of the museum we went outside and the boys dug for bugs. 

We said goodbye at the airport, then on their way back home Mitzi and her kids stopped at the temple. 

Happy Birthday Zeddi!

Number 3

 Zeddi chose his birthday breakfast, peanut butter toast with sprinkles.  Then when no one was looking he added more. 

 Henry and Fistan received Lego like tanks for Zeddi's birthday!  And after putting them together the verdict was Legos are definitely worth the extra money.  They hurt you fingers putting them together. 

 He got his own tent and we all had to ask permission to go in.  It was set up in the living room and he sat in there watching his Backyardigans DVDs.

 Owl cupcakes instead of birthday cake..................so yummy!

Trip to Missouri

where its more humid than Utah!  Where my skin loved it because I barely had to put lotion on and my hair had more body and curl.  We flew in the morning arriving in the mid afternoon and after Mitzi driving in circles we finally figured out that I didn't know where I was, not surprise really.  We were on our way but stopped at a McDonald's play place because all of the kids need to play!  That was when Mitzi decided to tell me they were in the year of the 17 year cicada.  Which means these really icky bugs that only come every 17 years were all over the place and she waited until i got there to tell me. 

YUCK!!

The boys had fun together most of the time, which is how it goes.  Here are some pictures of the 'Backyard Races'. 

They also went swimming whenever they could.  And Fistan wore is suit most of the time!  However Calipso (the dog) wanted to play too and that sometimes caused problems but they still had fun. 

We painted cookies and let the boys pick their cookie cutter.  Zeddi was the only one who painted all his cookies.  Mitzi and I had to finish Fistan and Henry's.  They sure liked eating them. 

More later off to help the child! 

Thursdays at the Zoo

Henry waited mostly patiently for the other kids to finish getting their picture taken so he could get on top of the gorilla for a picture. We tried to leave but he just kept climbing so i gave in and put him on top. 

The zoo is putting up mechanical dinosaurs all over and Henry was too scared of this one to get his picture taken by it so he took my picture by it. 

He wanted to take this turtle home with us.

I snapped this one when he wasn't paying attention.

Zoey and her bunny. 

To the ZOO

Off to the ZOO Ali and I went to walk up and down the hills.  We wanted the exercise.  We ran into Mark, Casey, and Jaimin who were on a school field trip.  I took a few pictures but mostly of the baby geese.  So cute!!

We rode the carousel.  Even Zoey did but I don't think it was her favorite.

I love this picture he kept telling me not to take his picture.  HEHEHEHEHE!

Easter

This year we had two Easter celebrations, one on Saturday to do all the fun hunting and dying and running and playing.  Although it was inside because the weather just can't accept that its spring.  And then one on Sunday at my parents house where we had a wonderful meal prepared by my mother and a devotional to celebrate the Savior and all he has done for us. 

Here are some of the pictures of the Saturday party.  Henry has told me since that this was his birthday party and he is now 5.  I think its because his cousin Fistan turned 5 earlier that week, silly boy.
