NIGHT At THE MuSEUm

Yes, My kids kept thinking we were going to a Museum like the one on the movie. We went to the Phoenix Museum of Natural History. We had never been there before, and I got some passes from our library, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to educate our kids on "Natural History". We got to see lots of Dinosaur fossils, LOTS of info on poop, yes you read that right. They have a room dedicated to poop, remember EVERYONE poops. We got to see real Jail cells, that they used in the late 1800's to mid 1900's (I wouldn't know but, NOT like the ones they have today). My kids LOVED digging for gold, they thought they were going to be rich for the rest of their lives, with all the gold they found. And last but not least, we got to visit "MARS". What a great time we had, BUT decided, we were glad we got the passes for FREE!! Next stop, Arizona Children's Museum.








They were TRYING hard not to fly away!

The EaSTeR ThAT NEveR ENdS!

We WiSHed it NeVer WOUld!!
To start off our Easter week, we went to the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant. It's a pageant about the life of our Savior, starting from Adam and Eve to Jesus Christ's Resurrection. What a great way to start our Easter off.


On Friday I decided to have a nice Easter dinner at my house this year with Marks family. We had a mini Thanksgiving dinner, everyone helped with the food, it turned out great (can you say, leftovers, leftovers, leftovers)!
We then had an Easter EGG hunt with the kids. It was too windy out side, so we hunted in the house.




Then the kids colored Easter Eggs, no one even spilled yay!!



Sunday after Church, we went on a Hike with Brian, Suzi, and kids. It was a beautiful day, what a great way to end the Perfect Easter week.





I also have to give a shout out to my Nephew Morgan. He's in his High Schools Drum line, so on Monday night we went to see them perform. They did an awesome job, and have won first place in the State (correct me if I'm wrong Brenda). This week they are on their way to Ohio to perform. I didn't get any pictures, (Eric, hint, hint)but we had a great time watching them. He plays the bass.

PinEWOod DerBY

Cameron's Second Pinewood Derby.

He decided to make a Humvee. After Mark cut out the shape, Cameron sanded it down and painted it himself. It turned out great. It won several of the races it was in. What a fun night it was!!!

Love BUG

David came home from Pre School the other day dressed as my Valentine. They had a Valentines party and made lots of fun stuff.

We had a great Valentines day, my kids woke up to a chocolate heart out of kisses, a chocolate bar (who likes chocolate), and their own pint of Ice cream just for them. We made a nice Breakfast, and enjoyed the morning as a family. We had a special delievery of some yummy homemade sugar cookies, they had our name on each one of them, so good. Later that night, Mark and I went out with Eric and Brenda. We went to dinner (Thanks Eric for getting the reservations), went to a movie, and then played a round of card games. What a great day it was for us all. I love to celebrate Valentines day, because it reminds me of how much I'm LOVED and LOVE all in my life!!

Cameron's 9

For Cameron's Birthday we celebrated it up in Utah with his cousins there. We went to BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS. He had a great time with his cousins he usually doesn't get to celebrate with.



Then on his actual Birthday, we had his cousins that live by us over for cake. He is so lucky to have lots of cousins his age on both sides.



Cameron is so loved by everyone that knows him. He is my child that is caring, sensitive, innocent no matter what, loving, doesn't forget about anything, makes sure everything is fair. He is our middle child, and boy you can tell. He needs lots of Love and attention, which we are happy to give him. I'm so proud and happy to be his MOM, and can't believe he is already 9, where does the time go? We all LOVe you Cameron!!! He is now a BEAR in scouts.
