New Name

Just so you all know - I changed the name of our blog just a little bit. I'm not sure if that affects if you can get to it from your page or not but I hope it didn't foil anyone's attempts to check up on us. Love you all!

Playing at the Park

On Thursday the weather was fabulous so we took Ayden to Barnes Park up here in Kaysville to have some fun time outdoors. Because it was spring break for Davis school district the place was crawling with little kids, but Ayden had fun watching them all and occasionally joining them on the playground. We got to feed some geese and ducks (and even had the pleasure of seeing a few of them doing the uh...dance of love...) but mostly Ayden just wanted to run all over the place. He had lots of fun but got pretty frustrated when we wouldn't let him climb on the taller parts of the playground like the other kids. In any case it was great to be out in the sun and have some fun outdoors as a whole little family.

My handsome little guy


Ayden wasn't sure what to think of the geese since they were almost as big as he is

Smooches for mommy

One baby out, one baby in...at least the belly makes a good spot to rest Ayden on :)

Easter Fun

Since this was the first Easter that Ayden was really old enough to do anything for we thought it would be fun to surprise him with a fun and simple little surprise Easter morning. We picked a wagon instead of a basket so it could double as a fun toy this summer.

In between conference sessions we took him down to the family room (since it was too cold outside) and laid his eggs around on the carpet for him to "find". We had them filled with fruit snacks so whenever he found one he would pick it up and shake it to make sure it had something inside, then hand it to us to open it. He lost interest after a little while and just started throwing them around and yelling "ball!" whenever he saw one....but either way it was still fun. Here are some pictures from our little adventure.

We thought it would be fun to give Ayden treats other than
candy, so here he is with a juice box



After seeing all of the "balls" on the carpet (maybe next
year he'll know they're eggs) he wanted to play with some more.
Here he is chillin with Becky, Ben, and Katie on the pool table
