Burn

Well I wasn't going to post this but I decided I would just to have a picture of it somewhere to remember. I was helping cook navajo tacos for sunday dinner and I reached up to get something out of the cupboard above the oil. When I grabbed it, it tipped a bag of brown sugar and it fell right into the oil. The hot oil splashed onto my arm and my sisters leg giving me this beautiful sore on my arm. Not very fun. It hurts but it could have been a lot worse.

Hill Air Force Base

We decided to take the kids to Hill Air Force Base to see all the airplanes. I have never actually been there before so it was kind of fun to finally go.

T-Ball Games

Brody is having so much fun playing t-ball. He loves being able to go play with a lot of the boys in his primary class.

Brody playing 3rd base. He is all ready to catch the ball when it comes his way. The funny part is that he thinks he is supposed to go get every ball that gets batted even if it is in the opposite end of the field. He will run for the ball and try to get it even if one of the other kids already got it. He usually jumps over the top of them and tackles them trying to get it. I guess he wants to include a little football in his t-ball.

Baylee watching Brody and cheering for him. She loves her big brother and loves to yell "Go Brody" as loud as she can. Then she wants to go play on the playground after she cheers for him.

Brody and his team all waiting for their turn to bat.

Another turn at bat. In the 3rd inning of his 2nd game they tried pitching the ball to the kids. Brody hit the ball on the first pitch, he was so happy. I missed the picture because there were other kids standing in front of me when I was trying to take it but he did very good. He is sure having a fun time with t-ball and we are so glad that our friends put it all together for us.

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day this year we didn't really have any plans but we wanted to do something since Dallas had the day off so we decided to take the kids to IHOP for breakfast. We don't do this very often so the kids were really excited when we told them.

After breakfast we went up to Mueller Park in Bountiful and went on a little hike. The kids did really well on the hike. I am not really sure how far up we got because I have never done this hike before but we hiked up at the kids pace for about an hour and then they were ready to go back down. Brody took this picture of us by the river, he is getting pretty good at picture taking.

Baylee walked all but about 5 minutes of the hike. They took a good long nap after and then we went up to my Grandma B's for a little BBQ. It was a pretty fun day.

T-Ball Practice

Brody just started t-ball! He has been so excited for weeks since we told him he could play t-ball with some of his little friends in the neighborhood. He is to young for the city teams so when one of the moms in the area offered to put together some teams so these kids could play we signed him up. This is the first sport that he has gotten to play since we spaced soccer sign-ups. He got his mitt for easter and has been practicing ever since. We picked up his hat and shirt on Sunday and he just had to wear it right away. I couldn't get him to take it off, he even slept in it that night. What a funny kid!

Practicing catching some grounders

Batting! He has a pretty good swing.

Good hit buddy! Look at that determination.

It is going to be fun to see how these games go in the next couple weeks. Thanks Fox family for setting this all up. Brody is loving it!

It's A Girl!!!

We went to my 20 week ultrasound appointment on Thursday and these are the profile pics that we got of our little baby GIRL! Brody and Baylee are so excited to get a new baby sister, Brody wanted a girl ever since we told them that we were having a baby so when the U/S tech said it was a girl he had the biggest smile on his face. He loves his sister Baylee and will be such a good big brother to this little one too. Baylee is excited to be a princess with her but was sure to point out that she will have to get her own princess dress. I am excited to see how they are with a new baby and I am sure it will be an adventure.

This is a beautiful picture of me at 19 weeks. I thought I was 20 weeks but the measurements of the ultrasound showed the baby at 19 so that will probably push my due date back to about September 15. We will see what the doc says when I see him next. I have never done pics of myself through my other pregnancies and I wish that I would have, so now I am doing it with this one.

Grandma's Easter Egg Hunt

Every year my mom does an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids in her neighborhood and some of our family. It is always so much fun.



The day before the hunt we go up and help color eggs. She had 75 dozen to color this year so we do them in big buckets so it doesn't take all day. The kids love doing eggs and always have colorful hands after.

Usually the hunt is in my mom's huge backyard, but since there was 6 inches of snow on the ground, we did it in the gym at the church. There was candy everywhere, on the tables, chairs, ground, and some was even taped on the walls. The kids get to help put the candy out so here they are after all the candy was scattered all over.

Now we are ready for an Easter Egg Hunt.

My mom splits the kids up into age groups so that the big kids don't run over the little kids and then lets them all run for it. They had so much fun filling up their baskets.

Brody asked if he was supposed to fill his basket all the way, and Dallas told him he could if he wanted to, He got a huge smile on his face and said that he did want to. He was so excited to get all that candy. (To bad he doesn't know he won't actually get to eat it all.)

The kids with all their fun treats.They had so much fun. After the hunt we have a potluck dinner and then go home to crash in bed after the sugar high. Thanks for the fun hunt Mom and Dad.
