Red Butte Gardens

Connor came home from school a few weeks ago and said the first graders were going on a field trip to Red Butte Gardens. He begged me to go with him. No really, he did. I thought I better go while he wants me to because I'm sure at some point he'll want me to stay away from his school and his friends :). It was perfect weather and a lot more fun than I was expecting. I even got to ride on the school bus with him. It was a highlight. They had the coolest bus driver that would have the kids raise their hands in the air and speed down hills. It was almost as good as Disneyland.

My little boy is growing up too fast! One more week and he will be a second grader!

A few weeks ago we were lucky to get tickets to the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU's Museum of Art. It was incredible. He has been a favorite painter of mine for awhile now, so I was really excited when I heard his art work was coming to Utah. It was such a fun day. We walked around the museum and campus and spent time as a family.




This huge thing was a bunch of books piled on top of each other. Look at Owen. I think he is doing the macarena (sp?).

*We weren't able to take any photos in the Carl Bloch part of the museum.

The Latest

"Say What?! You're taking me off my binki?".

Well- not exactly. We have the stomach flu going around our house, so once he isn't sick I might give it a try.

Recently we were given tickets to the Jazz vs. The Lakers. Connor was in heaven.
Connor had a Spring program at school. It was so adorable! They sang the cutest songs. He also had a speaking part that he practiced at home for all on his own.

We watched my sister's doggie for a weekend. The kids wanted to have a sleepover with her in the living room.

As you can tell, we didn't move to Cleveland. Trent found a job nearby and has been working for about a month now at Maverik. We are pretty excited he has a job and we have an income :).

7 months felt like a long time!
