All the fun stuff

Shaun loves his play day's! Here he is with his friend Spencer. Spencer is really sweet and very quiet. In fact, he doesn't say much at all. They play cars, push each other on the swings, play soccer, and get along great despite the silence. Finally the other day he said something and Shaun excitedly screamed, "He talks, Mom!" Eating treats under a sleeping bag makes it taste so much better!

Sasha had a bake sale the other day. The girls did pretty well not to eat all the profits, even if these pictures look like there may be a sugar high!
They just made a sale! Cheer up already! This picture is only moderately posed. Really! Good job guys, nobody is walking off with any of the goods today!

For Spring Break last week our family went to San Diego to spend some time at the beach. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the charger for the digital camera anywhere before we took off, so all I have recorded (pics) from that trip are small pictures from Vaughns cell phone! I can't believe with all the cords and plug in thingies we have in this house, that none of them were for that camera!!!! I found it today...always a day late and a dollar short! Anyway, the trip was great, but we wanted to do a shout-out to Elliot! (We booked our rental car on line, but apparently we went to the wrong place once in San Diego and needless to say, this van (rental company) was an adventure in and of itself! "Elliot" left his "my name is Elliott" sticker on the window and so we assumed (imagined) we were renting Elliot's moms van for the week. Poor Elliot. We hope school was within walking distance!) It was a great trip! Vaughns legs got burned to a crisp, we collected shells, played in the water, swam in the hotel pool, visited the San Diego temple grounds, and loved every minute together! I'm really starting to get addicted to these little getaways!

And finally, for SHAUN'S 3RD BIRTHDAY, he was able to already get his drivers license!!!!! he LOVED it and as soon as we took the car out front, he picked up how to drive it immediately. He was born to drive! Notice the matchbox car in his hot little mitt? You hardly ever see him without a car, so this was a real treat for him because HE LOVES CARS!!!! It was a joy to watch him take the wheel! He has driven the battery pretty much to dead every day since then!

Week in Review

Last weekend, when Vaughn got home, I was anxious to take a little trip. We checked the flight loads to San Francisco, Burbank and San Diego (the 3 sunny locations Jetblue flies direct to from S.L.C.) they looked okay, sort of, and so instead of chancing it or spending all the $$$ on hotels and rental cars, etc. we took an "old fashioned" get away to a local hotel...something we did often before the flight privileges. It was a great little get away. After all, as long as there's a pool, hotel beds to jump on and a dinner out at the restaurant, the kids are happy, here or 600 miles away.

Easter at Grandmas is always fun and a creative endeavor. Here the kids skillfully paint eggs.

Oops, should have turned this one first. Sorry!
Well, Shaun wasn't that into it, so he spent time jumping on the" jump-a-line" with Easton.

Grandma made delicious carrot-cake cupcakes with tinted coconut made to look like nests with jelly-bean eggs. DELICIOUS! Thanks for ruining my diet! Oh my gosh, I accidentally deleted the picture. I HATE how there is no back button for mistakes on blogger!!!!!!!

Earlier that morning, Kaleb took Shaun to the school park behind our house for the Cedar Hills Easter Egg Hunt. Shaun had a great time. Kaleb is a great big brother!

After he came home, he fell asleep....on the chair! It must have worn him out!

Sasha had her school program 2 weeks ago. She was sooooooo excited to perform! I LOVE the excitement when the kids are young! She was the cutest one there. Well, I certainly think so!

Kyle displays his hard work on California History. Shaun came with me and doesn't want to smile for the camera. He did a great job, but we are glad that whole thing is over!!!!!
