Fun in the warm....wait cold.....wait warm weather
So, the weather here has been totally crazy!!! Hot one day, then cold the next! The boys were playing on the slip n' slide a few days ago.....and then it SNOWED yesterday! So really crazy weather. Once it started to get warm, the boys got accustomed to a certain degree of outdoor fun, and they are not letting the weather change that at all.
RIDING BIKES
Boys are still riding their bikes a lot, Skyler especially! Sometimes he scares me with the turns he does. Anyway, I thought his look was priceless here. Think he is giving any indication of a future profession?
Once it was warm enough, David set up the tent in the back yard for a camp out. The boys had so much fan, and can't wait to do it again. They keep asking, but it just hasn't worked out again yet. David says maybe next time he will actually make it all night....Last time David couldn't fall asleep, so we brought the boys in.
We got the small hoop for the boys, but didn't really have good basketballs for the boys. Well, David surprised them each with a small ball of their own. Seriously, they can stay out there for HOURS playing basketball. David and I have even enjoyed it.....I totally took him at a game of PIG (we won't mention the plenty of other times that he totally killed me at those games).
I took the boys to Dollar Tree to pick out a birthday present for David. They each picked something out, but we saw the kites as well, and couldn't resist! We had a little wind (at the same time as the snow) and had to test them out. The boys are doing pretty well! SIDE NOTE: Connor wore those silly PJs ALL day that day....even when we went out for the day.
Skyler is SO in to being a big boy, and eating so he can be a big boy like daddy. Or that he gets to lock the bathroom door when he is big like Papa. Anyway, it is SO funny to hear him talk about being BIG. Well right here he was showing us how big his belly is.
NEW SUITS
Couldn't resist getting these for the boys when we saw them at Costco for a reasonable price. They look SO handsome!
Duckie Drop
About last October, David and I FINALLY bit the bullet and decided to join the Washington City Community Center. They were having a good deal if you paid for a full year. We decided it would be worth it since the have a workout facility, pool, classes and daycare. Now that the boys are 3 and we actually have to pay for them when we go to the pool, we figured with as much as we go swimming it would be worth it. So, anyway, we have been and are continuing to REALLY enjoy the facility.
On March 28, 2011 they had something called the Duckie Drop Basically, the kids wade in the pool, and the HUGE bucket at the top of the playground thing drops a bunch of rubber duckies. The kids each get a duckie with a number on the bottom with a prize based on the number.
The pool was PACKED. And there was a special appearance by THE RED ROBIN!!! Which, Red Robbin happens to be one of the kids FAVORITE places to eat. I think it has to do with the balloon they get when we leave! Regardless, they were SO excited to see him there, but a little hesitant to go say hi...it took them a while to warm up, but they did....and got a free kids meal!
I think this pic is funny because David is trying to suck in his belly, and Connor is just looking at him like...."WHAT are you doing?"

Swim Lessons
In late January we decided the boys were old enough for swim lessons. With the way the city does them, none of them worked with our schedule until the end of February, and even then, it was a class more advanced then their level. So we decided to put them in a few private lessons to get them up to the level they need to be to take their swim class. The boys really like Miss Erika, and she did a GREAT job with them.
I was never able to teach them anything, so it was always just splashing around and the slide when we would go to the pool. Now that they have a few lessons under their belt, they are little fish in the water. They love to go to the pool, and when we are there, it is rare to see their head above the water. They are seriously little fish!
They start their swim class tomorrow, so we are excited about that!
New Bikes
Santa brought the kids NEW bikes for Christmas, but we didn't find them until New Years Day! It was such a beautiful day, we took the boys out for their first ride in our back yard. It took them a while to get the hang of it, but they were starting to get in a groove by the end of the day.
Since then we have taken the boys out on running trails and let them ride. They do a really good job and are naturals on the bike! They are having so much fun. KUDOS to Santa on a job well done!
Skyler getting the hang of it!!
Connor concentrating hard!
New Years Eve
or New Years Eve, David splurrged and got us some fun fire works. Our friends, the Callisters, came with their kids to join in the fun! It was cold, but we still had fun!!!

Christmas with Cassie's Fam!
This year for Christmas we went down to Vegas for our traditional Christmas Eve party. We started out with dinner, then decorated cookies. Followed by a surprise performance of the Nativity. We used act out the Nativity every year when I was a kid. We finally outgrew it. But now the grandkids are getting old enough, so we decided to surprise Grandma Carma with the performance. Then each of the kids got to do a skit/musical number.
