Easter

My boys had so much fun on Easter. I kept telling them that the Easter Bunny was going to come but they didn't seem to understand the whole thing. They were sure excited in the morning when they saw what the Easter Bunny left them. They got so much stuff but I only got a few pictures of them with some of it. We colored eggs but I don't know what I was thinking not taking any pictures. Here are some pictures of the day though.

Moab

My sister in law ran a half marathon down in Moab a few weeks ago. It happened to be when Mike was on Spring Break so we decided to go down with them. We just bought my brother's old trailer so it was a great time to try it out. It was so much fun!!! We watched Raylene finish her race. Then we went on a hike. The next day we went into Arches and did some hikes in there. On the drive home, my brother ended up blowing 2 tires, at different times, on his trailer. That wasn't so much fun but atleast the rest of the weekend was fun!

Jared changing blown tire #2. You can't tell but he's not very happy in this picture!

Ryker's Birthday

Ryker turned 2 on March 11th. His birthday seemed to last a week. He had a party with the Olson's the Sunday before his birthday. Then we had a little party on his birthday. Then we took him to Pirate's Island for dinner the next night. Then he had a party with the Custer's the Sunday after his birthday. He loved all the attention. The best birthday present was the one he gave to mom and dad, getting potty trained!!! Here are just a few pictures from his birthday. Mike told me I posted way too many of Porter's birthday!

What a cute kid! Look at that face!

Here's a picture from Pirate's Island. My little pirate!!

Christmas 2009

Ok, I am so late on getting these posted. I almost didn't post them since it's way past but then decided to just play catch up. Christmas was a lot of fun. The boys loved it. They got spoiled, like always. Here are a few pictures of them.

Porter

Ryker

Don't you love how he has to be just like his big brother?

Kyler

Mike made them some bunk beds. They turned out so good. Porter and Ryker absolutely love climbing on them too.

Here they are with their turtles that Santa brought them. They had been telling me for a month that Santa was going to bring them turtles. Boy was that fun for Mike and me to hide them from the boys for 2 weeks. Porter just looked at me when he saw them and said, I told you Santa was going to bring me a turtle!

Porter's 3rd Birthday!!

Well, I'm a little late at getting this posted. I've been meaning to get it on here for about a week now. Porter's birthday was last Monday, the 7th. He is finally 3! No longer do I have 3 kids under the age of three! He loved his birthday. He had 3 different parties and got spoiled at every one. Mom and Dad got him a bike for his birthday but when we woke up, it looked like this outside.....

So much for riding a bike outside! We went up to Grandpa Olson's shop and Porter got to ride his bike there. It took him a little while to figure out how to pedal but once he got that down, he was having so much fun riding that little bike.

Here's a picture of the whole family. In the background, you can see the bunk beds that Mike has been building the boys for Christmas.

Porter then got to pick where to go eat dinner. He wanted to go to McDonald's and play. So, he got a Happy Meal and then played. Dad was having fun playing with the boys too!

And then, of course since it was his birthday we had to get hot fudge sundaes!!!


Party #2 Porter got a helicopter from Grandma and Grandpa Olson. He loved that thing. Didn't put it down for days.

Party #3 was with the Custer's. Porter got to celebrate his birthday with his cousin Adam. He turned 1. Here are some pictures of some of the things he got.

Here is a picture of the cake. Mom got creative and made a lego cake.

Kyler's Blessing

We blessed Kyler on Sunday. I only got a couple pictures with my camera. My mom got some of all of us on her camera but it may be a while before I get those. So, here are a couple of just the little man who's day it was! Mike did an awesome job too! He's such a good little daddy and his boys love him!

Sand Dunes

We went to the sand dunes last weekend. We loaded the 4 wheelers up and went down. We are wishing now that we didn't take the 4 wheelers. We didn't know until we got down there that the 4 wheelers weren't registered so we got a ticket for that. We had to stop and buy flags for them since ours are at the cabin. Then on the way home, the seat flew off of one of them. So, it ended up being kind of an expensive trip to take the wheelers. We had fun though. I only got a few pictures of us playing in the sand because my camera was dying the whole time we were there. The most eventful part of the trip was my mom getting lost. Her and my sis in law went for a ride and somehow my mom got lost. Some people ended up bringing her back right as we were about to call search and rescue. All and all it was a fun trip though. Here are some pictures of us playing in the sand. We were seriously covered from head to toe in sand after this.
