Riley Farm

Riley Farm

This was our 4th year going to Riley's Farm. It has become a tradition, starting when Jaxson was only 6 weeks old. We had a great time this year with many of our friends.

Jaxson's First Day of School

A Rainy day at the L.A. Zoo

Our next visit from family was Jeff, Diana, and their 4 kids. We spent the day at the Zoo and it sprinkled on and off all day. We didn't let that stop us from having a great time. Even my sister Kirsten came down for a visit, which she has not done in years. 2010 has been a year of family.

Goblin Valley

This was our one and only hike that we took and yes I was on it. The kids had a great time and we should do it more at home. My back was really bad so everyone else picked up the slack and carried our kids. Addison crashed on the hike and Aunt Chelsea held her head up with her arm, which by the end caused her a great deal of pain. Jaxson and Carson loved climbing for one afternoon and not having mom yelling, "Get down from there."

Easter Day and Playing in the Snow

Easter

Okay so I'm really behind. Here are some of the photos the week before Easter. Since General Conference feel on Easter Sunday, we wore out Easter best the week before. Thanks goodness we did because it was freezing in Utah on Easter weekend. There is much more to come;)

Two Years Ago Tonight

Two years ago tonight I went into labor with the twins. It was a great night. My good friend Carli watched Jaxson so we could go out before our whole life changed. Little did we know that would be our last night out for a long time.
Since we moved the twins into toddler beds, we've had a very difficult time getting them to bed. Tonight when I went into check on them, I found them how they where two years ago before they came into this world. I thought this was so fitting and cute too.

Enjoying A Warm Day in March

A Break From the Rain!

Addi is becoming more and more girly every day. As her brothers were playing in the dirt, she just looked on. Even her movements are just more feminine.

With all the rain we've had this year, the kids have been aching to get out and play. They were so happy to get out when it finally stopped. We spent the afternoon out riding bikes and playing tag.

The last few days of the Cruise!

Hunger: Whats that!

While on the cruise, I got a little sea sick which I'd never experienced before. Another thing I didn't experience while on the cruise was hunger. We ate so much. For those of you who have gone on cruises before, you know that one night they do a midnight buffet. There is tones to eat and see. However, on this cruise I was way to stuffed to even enjoy the buffet.

Day 3: Mazatlan

The pink text box is kind of hard to read so this is what it says: As we were feeding the birds I had a sudden urge to run through the birds. It was a lot of fun. Then we went to the local market. Tyson captured my response to seeing half a cow lying on the table.

Happy New Years!

It was so much fun being on the cruise for New Years. It felt like the whole ship was crammed into the little Promenade. They had a balloon drop at Midnight. We went dancing and stayed up late. It was beautiful to not have to wake early with kids. Although, we did miss them.

Day Two of the Cruise: Cabo

As soon as we got of the ship, we were standing on the dock when Chelsea screamed that something bit or stung her. Sure enough as I looked down a little critter was scurrying away and left their stinger behind in her foot. Her foot was swallon for days and she even went and saw the ship doctor. We had fun just enjoying the beautiful water and beaches of Cabo.

Mexician Riviera Cruise

This was my first attempt of posting a page from Heritage Makers. I think it looks great. All I had to do was change the paper the text and the pictures. So easy. How does it look?

Holiday Cheer!

Bartlett's and Jaxson viewing the Christmas lights on Thoroughbred.

Trying to get a picture of all the kids.

Jaxson and Jack holding hands. How cute are they.

This picture is taken in front of our favorite house. It is a little off the path, but well worth the extra walking.

The Hartman's. This is Taryn's second year being pregnant; however, this year she was able to walk it with us.

Tyson came straight from work, he looked very dressed up for the occasion.

Family photo at Bass Pro Shop, after visiting Santa. All three did very well. NO tears for my kids.

The kids had a great time in the kids room at the Creche Festival.

Thanksgiving in So Cal

The Beach in November. This is one of the many reasons why I love living in Southern California. We spent the day with my sister, Shauna, and her family at New Port. We had a great time. Jaxson even went in the water.

Jaxson makes friends where ever he goes. He found an older gentleman who was enjoying his afternoon at the beach by himself. He walked right up to him and started to talking. He didn't seem to mind Jaxson's company.

Carson trying to feed Uncle Alan food that fell in the sand.

Carson eat shovel after shovel of sand. He loves the stuff. He would drop a chip or cookie in the sand and proceed to eat it. Yum Yum.

Our Trip to Long Beach Aquarium

Grandma and Jaxson at the sting ray and shark pool.

Jaxson wanted to find all the fish on the poster in the tank. It was very cute.

One of the sting rays came half way out of the water so we could touch it. It was the coolest thing. I was very proud of my self for touching it since I was stung by one in my teenage years.
