28th Birthday

My family came to visit this past week. They traveled far but I definatly showed them a good time. I'm sure they will be back soon.It was great to have them on my birthday.Thanks to everyone for all the awesome gifts and good times.





Eric and I have decided to plant a garden.This was day one at work. Eric, Jack and his dad working hard while Lexi, Kyle and I chilled on the swing. This set up worked well.

We love our daddy. p.s. I think Kyle is a mini eric!
This is what the boys do when Eric is watching them. They get to hang out in diapers and play ball in the house.





Jack realized he can push a chair upto something and get what he wants. He was trying to sneak some candy.

Bad Mom Day

Does anybody else ever feel like all the decisions they made for their kids all day were wrong? Like tucking them in for a nap when you think they are tired and ready and all they do is play or scream in their crib? So you leave them for a while feeling guilty or cave and go get them.....then they become so ornery for the rest of the day that all you do is say NO,NO,NO to everything they do because they never got a nap! Also, I put Jack in shorts today because it seemed so nice out. We went to the park to play and came home and now he has a runny nose. I blew that one. Then when I went to nurse Kyle after it had been three hours he just wanted to play and not really eat. After helping him along he spit up everything I gave him.....he must have not been hungry and I felt bad. When Eric came home from work he took Jack on a skateboard ride (which they do often) as they were picking up speed the skateboard hit a rock and they both ate it! Anyway, thank heavens we get to start new everyday.

Valentines Day

This year Eric was in charge of planning Valentines Day. I must say he did a great job. He sent me 2 dozen roses to the house which was a nice surprise. He told me we were going out to dinner on saturday night but when we dropped the kids off to his parents house some of his friends and their wives showed up as well. They took us outside to the in door basketball court where they had decorated it for dinner. They had Cafe Rio already ordered, music playing in the background, chocolate everywhere with candles lit. We all ate dinner and then played games. It was so fun! Great job to all the husbands for the nice surprise! I bought Eric some new running shoes and decorated the box with candy hearts.




Last night durring the All-star game Jack was having a good time being a ref around the house.

Big Interview

Last week the Hurricane Valley Journal did a Article on the Gym in town. I happen to be babysitting when they came in so I got interviewed. I think they planned that... http://www.hvjournal.com/ Go to HVJ Quickcast for 2-11-09.

Here are a few pictures from over the weekend. We went tubing at Brian Head. It was alot of fun and the weather was great!

Feet and fingers

This is what Kyle has been upto the past couple of days. He has discovered his feet and is now always pulling on them. He also LOVES to suck on his two index fingers.He is smiling all the time we just love it!

3 year anniversary.

Last night Eric and I went out to dinner at Chili's then we went and saw Bedtime Stories. It was fun to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. Thanks to Heather for babysitting at the last minute! The first picture below was when Eric proposed to me at a Chili's in California. He first picked me up in a limo at the airport with a dozen roses.Then we drove to Chilis (where we had our first blind date). After that we went to the beach and walked around. It was the best proposal and I have not regreted it since! The next picture is from last night. I made Eric a poster/card, got him some art work for his office, a new holder for his glasses and a Seinfeld series. He got me a pair of jeans, boxing gloves for my kickboxing class and a calendar holder.

Jack and Kyle both around 3 months in the same outfits. They look more like eachother than I thought.

Last night Eric spent a good hour and a half fixing this broken swing so I could have smoother days. I dont know how mothers live without these! By the way, he did fix it and its working like new.
