While Boston and Cory were working on Boston's "Pinewood Derby" car , we were having a fun time in the Bath tub! These pictures are so cute, i just had to Blog them! Olivia Sporting the "Sanjaya" hairdo!LOL
(Amazing...That Hayes was looking at me for a Picture... He never looks at the Camera!)

Hayes knows all his Colors now! YEA! We were in Costco today and everything he saw he would Yell out the Color.

We love to ask him "What does Nacho say" and he yells out

"NA HOOOOOOO" It's hilarious. All the Neighborhood kids encourage him!

SPRING BREAK!!!!

We are on SPRING BREAK this week, and of course it has been soooo cold and Rainy and Yes, even snowing! But it didn't stop us! We went to BYU cruised around campus, ate at the Cougar eat and Then toured the KBYU Broadcasting news room. (So he could pass stuff off for Scouts)
We went to the Legacy pool and played with Chase and Caden and EsDee, London, and Cheer. It is such a cute pool that is Indoor and has Waterslides and stuff for the little kids too.





Boston had Charlee (his cousin) sleepover on Tuesday Night, Then he went over to Cooper and Camden's (His cousins) last night and had a HUGE sleepover with lots of cousins. ( Aunt Heather was very Brave! ) He said his favorite part of the Sleepover was eating Candy for Breakfast, So thank you Heather! And now chase is having a Sleepover tonight! I really should have blogged this post SLEEPOVER, instead of Spring Break! haha
We are hoping to wear shorts soon....

WELCOME HOME...Elder Johnson!!!

Yea!!! My nephew Ben is coming home today at 4pm , after serving a Full time mission in the Roseville, Sacramento Mission! He is such a little cutie, and the First Grandchild, and the First Grandson to go, way to go buddy for setting such a GREAT example for all the other Cousins!
I still can't believe he is already home, it seems like we just sent him into the MTC! (life goes by fast when you have 2 babies in the house) I still think we stay the Same age and all the kids just grow up so fast!
I love you tons Ben, and Can't wait to see you!

He is the Cute Missionary on the LEFT!

TRIATHLON!!

WE DID IT! The weather ended up being so nice on Saturday, we were so nervous that we would be freezing right after the Swim! I am so Glad that I did it! My time was 1:33:04 So i finished alot faster than my goal time. The hardest part for me was going from the Bike to the Run, But other than that i felt Great!
It was so much fun doing it with Cory too, What a Great accomplishment! We loved having Todd, Jane and kids there to Cheer us on! They were so awesome to come and support us. (Special thanks to jane....thats why i have these pictures) And they were still there with Candy (cory's mom) when we came running into the Finish line! I am a little sore, but it was all worth it.
I will definitley be doing that every year! Who doesn't like to Challenge the Body? C'Mon....

(so of course we had to cook it and eat it tonight!) Caden was so cute to the kids, I kept hearing him say "Princess, do you want to play Basketball, or Soccer" and Olivia said "um...Sure Caden"
He was reading them books and playing so cute with them. Hayes was so excited, he just kept following him around and saying "Cay Cay"!
Hayes' new thing is pushing or hitting Olivia and then he knows he is in trouble, so he just puts himself in the Corner! It's Hilarious!



I must say that i did shed a Tear tonight watching the Results show on American Idol! I think Haley is so Cute, Obviously not the Best singer, but she got so much better with each performance and she is a great Performer!

Oh and Boston just informed me that he Voted For SANJAYA! Ugh....

Happy EASTER!

Happy Easter Everyone!

It has been kind of a Cold rainy day, which was suprising to us since yesterday was about 80 + degrees!

After Church we went to our Famous "Easter Sunday Brunch" at Riverside, As always it was so nice and Delicious! (Just ask the BIG boys) We ate Prime Rib, Belgium Waffles, strawberries and Custard, and an assortment of Fruit dipped in Chocolate! We are pretty much done with eating for the day!
Now the kids are napping and my house is Clean (from not eating at home) and that is why

I L O V E Sundays!

Of course we had to have some Family Photos!

Boston, Chase and Caden were loving dipping all the treats in the chocolate fountain....Yes they all were dirty before we started on pictures!

Hayes and Olivia loved playing on their New Power Wheels. Hayes really rides it well and Olivia is a little Princess about it, She just likes to push it. She says" it's too loud"! Isn't she precious!

Neighborhood Easter Party!

We had our Neighborhood Easter Party today at the Higginsons! It was so much fun! We are getting so many more kids in the Neighborhood, It's a blast (Lots of Boys too)!
They had an Easter Hunt, Like you were at Thanksgiving Point (Seriously, that cool). The Babies and Toddlers had their own little area..... Hayes would pick up his Eggs and Throw them in their water Feature! They were loving just being outside! The Food was so DELICIOUS, The best BBQ and so many yummy side dishes. Jenn you so ROCK! She is on Day 4 of the Cleanse and didn't eat a thing!
We had a Duck Race in their water Feature with about "70 " ducks and everyone had a Number. They had 3 Heats and Boston was in the Lead in the Beginning.
It was so sweet to see that I won "3"rd Place, Chase won "2"nd and Caden won "1"st! And their were literally LOTS of people there! It was Quite funny!

The winners!

Another Easter Party tomorrow at Cory's Grandparents house ( you know the one blog about the 300 cousins! It will be a blast!)I had a soccer game right after the Party at 7pm and we lost 5-1! O well , they were a very hard team!

After Conference on Sunday, we went to Cory's Grandpa's Farm where there were hundreds of Cousins (Literally) and Had so much fun! We all went to Celebrate Grandpa's Birthday and To celebrate the Winning of his Yearling Colt "Patriot" He won Reserved Grand Champion at the Horse show in Scottsdale! It was a Big deal since "Patriot" won Over all the Stallions and every Horse at the Show! Good Job Grandpa and Travis!

Conference Weekend!

Jenn you inspired me....

President Hinckley is so Amazing, How do you NOT feel the Spirit when he speaks!
I absolutley loved This Morning and Saturday's Conference sessions. I loved President Fausts' talk on "Forgiveness" I still cannot believe how amazing the Ammish people are! They are great reminders of how we should be more forgiving.

Last October My niece Witney and I were able to go to the Conference Session in Salt Lake and It was soooo Incredible for us to Feel the Spirit so Strong there, Especially when we were singing "We thank thee O God for a Prophet" and you could just feel the Spirit so strongly that you couldn't even sing the words! I am so jealous of all the People who get to be in the Conference Center, It was such a Fabulous Experience!
We are so Blessed to have the Fullness of the Gospel, I want to SHARE this LOVE and Happiness with everyone! The church is True! May we all be better people and share the Love of our Savior Jesus Christ with Everyone!

Have a Beautiful Sunday!
