Soccer starts for Kenyon

Saturday, April 5, 2008

Spring season started up again and we were hoping Kenyon would be excited and actually stay out on the field. Well he played the entire game and had a great time. We were so proud of him and loved watching him. He told us before the game that he wanted us to cheer for him, which we did. He was so cute. He scored and even assisted on another goal. Now he is looking forward to his next game and wants to score more goals.

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Hunter turned 6 on Thursday, April 3.  In school he got to be VIP the week before his birthday.  We made a poster about what he likes to do and made cupcakes for his entire class.  It was fun to see him stand in front of his class and tell about himself and then answer questions.  He is  growing up so much and becoming very interactive with the other students.

For his birthday we had a family dinner and opened gifts.  On Friday he had a LEGO party with his friends.  We tried to get the boys excited about celebrating their birthdays by going to LEGOland & Sea World but in the end they want friend parties.  I was disappointed because I really would love to go to LEGOland.  So with a few days notice I put together a party and invitations.  Hunter was excited and hoped his friends would get him LEGOs since it was a LEGO party.  Well they did and he has so many LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Mission to Mars, Speed Racers, and cars.  Hopefully we can work on not losing any in the carpet so I don't vacuum any pieces up and then when Elise starts crawling she won't find any surprises.

Easter Weekend

Saturday, March 22

Easter weekend went pretty well.  Saturday we had an egg hunt in Grandpa & Grandma Grange's backyard.  The boys did not want to go to the one Farmington City was hosting so I did the best I could.  I had a ton of eggs and had fun finding places to hide them.  The boys were so excited and loved hunting for them unlike last year when I had them just scattered around our yard.  Before we started our egg hunt we made our traditional bunny ears.  I was surprised that Elise kept hers on.  

With having 9 o'clock church we all had to be completely ready for church before we could go see what the Easter Bunny brought us.  This year Hunter came home from school telling us that we as parents were the Easter Bunny.  He is still young that we weren't ready for this to be over so we talked to him and told him that we were his helpers.  Well late Saturday night I headed out to for new Easter stuff so Hunter would believe a little longer.  Sunday morning they found their easter baskets and a toy from us with a note.  The Easter Bunny was sad that Hunter did not believe so he told him that when he got home from church he would have to work for his Easter stuff this year.  The Easter Bunny left clues for the boys to hunt for the Easter goodies.  When they found them, they got new transformer baskets with a lego set and goodies.  He even left Elise a bunny basket with some bibs and food.  Hunter was so excited and made sure that we knew he believed.  He was so cute during it all.

Between church and dinner Kevin and I put on "Enchanted" for the kids and we took a nap. It was so needed. We had a yummy Easter dinner with Kevin's family.  We started to feel pretty yucky that day so we didn't have too much of an appetite, but what we ate was delicious.  Thank goodness whatever we had didn't last - about a day or so.  It was awful to feel so rundown and just completely out of it.  No energy at all.
