April 2010

The first weekend in April LDS General Conference is held. Between the two sessions our ward (aka neighborhood) has an "Emergency Preparedness Drill" we round up the family, our 72 hour kits and report to our meeting location. *note to self, rotate the 72 hour kit food, it has to be at least 6 years old (granted they are MRE's), change out the clothing (bonus the boys might fit into them now) and make a 72 hour kit for the two boys.


We take role to see if everyone is accounted for. Brittany made it out of the house ok. She lived.


We though we would arrive in style, I mean in the case of a REAL emergency we would use the 4 wheeler, why not at the drill too.


Easter, a time to paint eggs, hide them, and pretend a Bunny did it. So cute.

Apparently there is a lot of skill and precision that goes into coloring eggs.


And mighty fine eggs they are if I say so myself.

The Easter Bunny was EXTREMELY generous to one little boy. A John Deer Truck, What the Heck!

During Spring Break (April 5th through the 9th) we packed in as much as we could. We purchased two family passes before the week was over, one to Thanksgiving Point, the other to the zoo (pictures to follow). Watching the boys check out the dinosaur museum was great. They did not sit still for a second! Until you have something like this looking at you! Then bam, frozen little boy.


Want to entertain a one year old for as long as their poor little attention span will last... here is the recipe: One part water, a fistful of sand, and two plastic dinosaurs. **Caution sand will be eaten (see sand on mouth), and dinosaurs will be thrown!
Apparently this is not only the hot spot for a 1 year old... the rest of the crew was having a blast making a damn to block all the water from the poor little kids down stream! I almost appears that Brittany is taunting that kid in the white t-shirt.
After a day of checking out dinosaur bones and playing in sand there is nothing better than a Happy Meal from Mc Donald's... see how happy he is! They don't name them Happy Meals for nothing!

Season Pass #2 is to the Hogle Zoo. Train rides, animals, fresh air... can't beat that!

We were quick to discover that the Giraffe is Cameron's favorite animal! He does not get as excited with any other animal as he does when he rounds the corner towards the Giraffe building. Squeals of delight and awh come out of that little kid.

The zoo bought young love together. These two fought like cats and dogs when they were little.. er, but now the topic of discussion was on wedding plans. After this trip to the zoo several months went by discussing the colors that would be at Aspen and Kyles wedding. Green was the final color choice.

Cameron found his love too, Kettle Corn... a kid after my own heart!
The Bean Museum at BYU was also on our agenda for the week. We saw our fair share of animals that week.
Tracy rocked the Shameless Photography in the Spring. She is freaking awesome. For example this is what I see when we set up these girls. You get Tracy shooting the same thing and well...

POW! You get this from her! Amazing! You should hire us!


That was only one of many shoots we did in the year, one of the fun ones was Courtney in her Miley Cyrus hooker boots on State Street in SLC, her best smiles were when cars would drive by and whistle or cat call her!

More time at Thanksgiving Point, gotta get our moneys worth from that pass. Bare with me on multiple pictures form this location! We just missed this little guy being born by minutes, he had not even stood up when we arrived.

Fingers Cam... they eat fingers...

PG High School Prom dress hunting was easy! We found a cute little shop on main street in PG that will alter you dress for next to nothing and they typically only get in one of each style. Bonus. This one was absolutely perfect for Alexis.

Spring Chamber Choir Concert is so awesome. Courtney loves to sing and I love to hear her group, it is so soothing it put Cam right to sleep.

Look at how cute Courtney is.

Wow we packed a lot into March!
