More random things...

Adding a little cultural diversity to our lives. On Saturday we went to the Festival of Colors at a Hindu temple in Spanish Fork. There were probably 5000 people there and they sold bags of color ( I think it was flour) to throw on each other. Max was so confused at first, but he really got into it and he and Allie loved it at the end. On the way home Max said, "That was a fun temple party!" Boy is he going to be confused!




This is one reason why we are excited to move to California. Can you believe it SNOWED yesterday! Come on! We are DONE with the snow!

Random Post of Everything

This is just another example of how our Easter turned out. They were going to be cute cupcakes for our friends. Why can't I make a simple CUPCAKE! Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? (Notice the ones in the back with wrappers turned out fine.) I am stumped!

Here is our belated Easter post. It was kind of a sorry Easter this year. We were recovering from colds and flus, our egg hunt on Saturday was in the dark and cold, and lets just say Sunday everyone was cranky and so we are happy its done. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Easter will come again next year! Really the kids didn't know any different. I was hoping that by separating the Easter bunny on Saturday and Jesus on Sunday that we could have 2 great days. Instead both were a flop! :) hee hee!


This one is for you, Dad! Here is our geode hunting trip... you can see the 2 big geodes Alex found (at least we hope they are geodes, he have yet to cut them open and see the insides). You know Max was L O V E loving the treasure hunt in the dirt!

An eventful week last week...

This week we went to the Bean museum as a family. It is a fun place that Max and Allie loves to go to. There are tons of animals stuffed and mounted on the walls. In case you were wondering...there really is such thing as a Liger! His name was Shasta and he lived at the Hogle Zoo and this is a picture of the kids and I infront of him. (past tense, of course he is stuffed now!)

Next picture is one of our favorite activities of the week...Library time! Every week we go and Allie loves it more than Max these days. Its pretty fun because they sing songs, do a puppet show and of course read a story!

Careful, the next one is a sad one...Max got the flu! Doesn't he look so miserable! Poor guy, he was so sick. It kept coming and going and after a week of him not feeling good I took him to the doctor and found out that he has pneumonia. We are glad to get him on medicine to start feeling better and have our busy 3yr old boy back.

Lastly, Allie has enjoyed having a sick brother, being in charge of all the toys in the house she has kind of taken over. Max can't keep up with her now! She even took over his superman cape and racecars! :) Thanks Max for sharing!

Weekend update

This is a picture of Allie playing in the backyard, which is what they did all weekend. I downloaded my camera and there were not many great ones to share. Lets just say that Allie needs some photo lessons from auntie Becky.
We have been sick up here, so it was a weekend of recovery for us. Everyone is on the mend and we are loving the sunny days again. Allie and Max can finally play in the backyard again!
Max made me laugh this morning...He got out of bed and instead of coming to wake us up like he usually does, we heard the freezer open and realized we forgot to lock it the night before. Next thing we hear is our bedroom door close, yes he is on the outside of the door eating as many popsicles as fast as he possibly can before Mom or Dad roll out of bed!
