Oh, how time flies....

We have had a lot of fun the last month and a half and here is just half of it....

March 9th - my sister got married, that's right my baby sis... The family pic above is from that delightful event. We had lots of family come and some pics I haven't seen yet, like my kids with their great-grandparents. It was so nice of G'pa Lyle and G'ma Mary watch the kids with Kaylee in the visitors room in the Logan Temple. G'pa Lyle said Jordan just stayed at the door waiting for us and Lexi crawled up on G'ma Mary's lap and fell fast asleep.




March 13 We went with Steph and her boys to the Disney on Ice- Everyone loved it! They loved the snacks most of all but they did great and next year we are getting better seats!! Jordan has already informed Casey he will be going with us next year!









We had a low key St Patricks day - shirts compliments of thoughtsthatstick.com and ribbons that Lexi loves from the talented aunt Colette.





Since then we have tried to enjoy this crazy mixed up weather they call spring....





We've also taken a trip to the Living Aquarium and we went with Lil' James, our neighbor. The kids had a blast and it was pretty stress free. Jordan liked almost everything but didn't want to touch the sting-rays, Lexi loved anything with bright colors and I love ocean life so we all had a good time.










With Easter we went to SSLC Easter Egg Hunt and spent approx 10 mins there... It was great the kids were done in 3 mins! Then we colored eggs at G'ma Susans house and the Easter Bunny made his delivers and then we drove up to Logan to surprise G'ma Lisa and G'pa Doug with brunch- they loved it...















The latest news is that i am an officially a minivan mom - proud owner of a 2009Toyota Sienna- it's name is currently a debate Snow white vs Rescue Jazz! Funny kids! Speaking of funny and crazy kids here are some extra shots we caught here and there..







Lexi is talking like crazy now and Casey swears she says her name is sexi - to me it sounds more like Lecki. Jordan is getting so big wayyyy to fast for me and he is so good to teach Lexi her numbers or letters (which can be pretty funny). He also loves going to preschool and is doing well in his class. He also continues to amaze me with his energy (i'd love a little bit).

Well we hope all of you are doing well and send our love with this update.

These are the Days of Our Lives...

Since we have returned from our trip - we have been trying to catch up! The rest of January and all of February has passed by in a daze. You know the usual stuff- laundry, sickness, dishes, sickness, family, sickness, oh did i mention sickness?
well you know what they say- tis the season.

Jordan is growing up so fast and finally can count to 10 and recently told me he needs to learn his alphabet! He knows most of the sounds to the letters but has a short attention span so therefore has a hard time remembering all of them. He canalmost type his name in the computer. He also has given his first talk in Primary and did a great job. Casey helped him and he spoke about the atonement and compared it to the parable of the bicycle.

Lexi is finally over 20 lbs and getting very verbal. She finally says her prayers with help and is sooo cute. She loves to follow Jordo and is turning into a daddy's girl.... But still loves her mama. She loves 'soos' (shoes) and has to be wearing them- the more sparkly they are the better:) Her voice is the cutest little thing too.

A Wild Week of Fun!

So we finally made it to Cali for our family vacation..

We arrived Saturday, January 16, in San Diego and it was sunny. Jord got outside of the airport and asked if we were in a jungle (if any of you have seen Jungle Junction it has lots of palm trees). The plane ride there was great - Jordan took a nap the whole time and Lexi played with her mommy- it was fabulous! Shuttle to the rental place and getting the car took quite a bit of time and kids started getting restless but they did great getting to Pops' house and then going straight to dinner. They did so amazing - and Miguel's was amazing.

Stake Conference and Beach on Sunday. Stake Conference was televised and i did get to here a little bit of it mainly on keeping your priorities straight. Beach - lesson learned - don't go on Sundays! Both kids ended up wet and mad but hey we saw this awesome sand castle...


Monday morning we ended up at The Wild Animal Park- we had fun, it sprinkled on and off that day and we left just as it starting pouring!







Tuesday through Thursday we went to Disneyland and i am really trying to look on the bright side cuz the weather stunk! But we got to ride almost all the rides we wanted! There were hardly any lines. We took lots of pictures and had loads of laundry because we kept making trips back to the hotel to change because we were soaked!! Here are a ton of pics... Mitchell and Jessica are my cousins and they came with us on the first day- they are natives and had never had rain like that in Disneyland before!


































On Thursday we actually went to California Adventure as well because it was raining and i wanted to make sure the kids saw Playhouse Disney Live and a few other things. Here are more pics - hopefully you can scan through them quickly but I know there are a few of you that wanted to see them...














Friday we drove up to LA to Universal Studios, I personally have never been there and therefore didn't know what to expect. It is for a little bit older age group but we saw lots of characters Jordan and Lexi liked and got free hot chocolate...
















On Saturday - the sun finally decided to come out and we went to Sea World. The kids had fun and Jord would have been content to play at the play area but we did drag him to a couple of shows and over all i think they really liked it except when a seagull stole Lexi's granola bar and bit her fingers and she started bleeding. I did not get a pic of that because i was freaking out that it had hit my head before biting her.















I'll make comments on the pics later- here they are just to look and laugh:)
