Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

On Friday night we went to the Bees baseball game. My dad got suite tickets from his boss so we had lots of fun with a free game, food and drinks! It went to 12 innings and by that time we didn't really care who won we just wanted it to end since it was 11:00pm! We stuck around because it was a night that they were going to do fireworks. Good Times!

Here are the boys watching a foul ball!

Happy 2nd Birthday Grady

Have you ever seen such beautiful eyes?

We love you very much!!

Up Up and Away!

I see A LOT of kids movies and most of them are ok. But I have to tell you that I LOVED the movie UP. It is so freaking cute! Jon & I took the kids this weekend and both Hudson & Grady liked it. Grady sat through pretty much the whole thing. I highly recommend this movie to people of all ages. I loved the little old man in the most and there was even a lovable bird (I didn't even think it would peck my eyeballs out!)

Baxter is 1

Happy Birthday to our 140 pound 1 year old!!!
He still has a pretty cute face!!

First Pinewood Derby

Jon & Hudson built and raced their first Pinewood derby car. It was a Utah Utes car of course. It wasn't the fastest by far but it won best in show!

MOMS (Mother's Day)

Me & My Mom! Jon & His MomMe & my boys!

Tee Ball

Huddy started Tee ball this year. He was so cute out there on the field!!

He played on the same team as his cousin, Gage!He finished his 8 games and got his participation award!

Can't wait for next year!!

Where'd that poop come from?

Hudson was throwing a football around and he went into the kitchen and all of a sudden he yells "where'd that poop come from?"
Let's rewind....
When Jon got home from work Grady handed him a diaper. Jon showed it to me and asked "where did this come from?" I told him I didn't know. I mean diapers are all around this house so it really could have came from anywhere. ( I really thought that Jon had changed a diaper and forgot to throw it away!!)
So forward about an hour later to when Hudson yelled "where'd that poop come from?"...
...(I know what you're thinking!) but seriously it took me a minute. We thought maybe it was dog poop but then Grady started to cry and point to his lets where poop was running down his legs. That is when Jon & I looked at each other and just laughed.
We have not experienced a kid taking of his diaper yet! (Hudson was an easy baby)
It was really funny! I just had to share that with you all.
If you have funny kid stories post them on your blog!!

Great saying!

I read this in an email today and wanted to share it. It has come a a day that I have needed something to pick me up a little!

Life is short

Break the rules

Forgive quickly

Kiss passionately

Love truly

Laugh constantly
And never stop smiling

no matter how strange life is!!

Life is not always the party we expected it to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

Monster Jam in Las Vegas!!

For the past 3 years we have gone to Las Vegas for the Monster Jam World Finals. These pictures are from this year March 27-30,2009. We have stayed at Sam's Town Hotel & Casino for the last 2 trips. We really like it here, it is family friendly and it is close to the stadium where the monster truck show is.

This is us in front of the HUGE waterfall in the middle of the hotel They put on a laser light show a few times a day that is pretty cool. They have bridges, animals and a little stream that runs through the middle of the hotel.

We start out the morning of the show at the pit party. All of the trucks are out in a huge field where the drivers sign autographs and take pictures. There are all sorts of activities including riding on a monster truck, which we did and it was way fun. While we are on the ride they decided to film for monsterjamonline and they interviewed Jon's niece Bailey and you can see Jon in the video along w/ my back. I will see if i can get it on my blog.

This picture is of Hudson & Cannon w/ Monster Mutt.

Us girls had to get in on the action. My mom, Anita, Bailey & me! This was a cool looking truck!

This truck is Monster Trakker and he is a more local driver here in Salt Lake. It has been Hudson's favorite truck for awhile.

Here is Cannon & Bailey (Hudson's Cousins) They all had a lot of fun togetherAnita said she needed a picture of her & Mike for her family reunion video so she decided that a monster truck picture would be cool!

After the pits we went back to the hotel and rested up for the big show! We headed back that night and this is the field that the show takes place on before the trucks destroyed it!

Most trucks end up like this!

This was Grady for most of the show. Even with as loud as it was he just kept on sleeping!

Here is Huddy, he always very happy to be wherever monster trucks are!

Here we are after the show, you can see that the track is different than when it started.

The next day we took some time and went to one of my favorite places to eat in Vegas, The Rainforest Cafe. Even though Jon hates it he went for me! Thanks Jon!

Here are all of us at dinner

All in all it was a fun trip and I am sure that we will be gong next year. I do live and will forever be in "boys town" and have to do the monster truck thing! I love my boys and I am glad that they have something to enjoy so much!
