Carson is a Graduate!

On Thursday, the 21st of May Carson graduated from The Discovery Preschool. He has LOVED school and is so excited to start kindergarten. He has learned so much this year including how to sign the alphabet. He tells us all the time what a certain letter is in sign language and it makes my heart smile to see how much he loves to learn. He amazed his teacher because he can already read...but there is still so much that he gets to learn. I just hope that he continues that hunger for knowledge throughout his life. I can't believe how grown up he is. We are so proud of him with all he has accomplished in his short little life already.

Kennecott Copper Mine

Well we've recently decided to try to do something fun as a family once a month. So to kick off our new family fun days we decided to go to Kennecott Copper Mine since neither Curt or I had ever been there. Before we went we told the kids that we were going there and Carson asked what it was. To describe it we told him that it's a REALLY BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND and that they had trucks bigger than our house. He was so amazed by that and couldn't wait to see the house-sized trucks. When we got there it was a REALLY BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND but the trucks look like they were normal size until it came next to a "normal" truck or a porti-potty and then you could see how truly big they are. It was just amazing to me.

I think Curt and I had more fun than the kids but they enjoyed parts of it like looking through the binoculars and running around the museum.

Later we decided to drive and see the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple. They said that we could park the car and walk around the grounds. It is really pretty and we can't wait to go see the open house.

Austin's Easter Outfit

When we had so many problems with our camera card with our Easter pictures on it we had to delete some of the cutest pictures of Austin in his Easter outfit. So of course we HAD to take some more. This is what we got. I love that little mischievous grin!

He's Growing TOO Fast!

Well this is what we saw the other day. I think the pictures explain it all. He can't even sit up yet!

Vroom-Vroom!

As many of you know Curt has a love for classic cars. So this past Wednesday as a family we went to a car show they had going on at Burger Stop in Layton. The kids liked seeing all the cool cars and chose which ones they wanted their pictures taken by. We took Shelby's picture by her namesake, the Ford Mustang Shelby. There were two of them there, a red one and a gold one. I liked the shiny red Mustang. That's all I know about it but I'm sure Curt could tell you all about it. He liked it too. It even had blinking lights on the bottom of it when it drove away. It was way cool! I wish I had a car like that...but if I did it would probably stay in the garage where nothing could happen to it. We had to really stress to them that they couldn't touch but only look. I think I was more worried about that part of it then they were. They also had a clown there that was making balloon animals, etc for the kids. Shelby got a dog on a leash, Kaylee got a butterfly hat and Carson got a car. Obviously Austin was too little for a balloon but he enjoyed the whole experience of being outside and being pushed around by someone else. Heck, who wouldn't love that? But anyway, here are some of the pictures we took.

Funny Austin!

Here are some funny pictures of Austin this month. He's getting so big! I can't believe it.

This is the first time he was able to put his binkie in his mouth all by himself. Now he's a pro!

Easter Time!

Sorry it's been so long since we've posted our Easter pics but we had a little trouble getting our computer to read our camera card. So thanks to my wonderfully smart husband who called his wonderfully smart brother (Thanks Jeff!) we were able to get our pictures downloaded. So here are the long awaited Easter Egg hunt pictures and Easter Sunday pictures.
