The forth of july!

We had a fun fourth of July. We started the day by getting doughnuts and going to our local parade. Jeremy chose his "black dough-ut" We ate our doughnuts and waited for the parade to start.

One of the first "floats" to drive by, passed out a flag to everyone on the sidelines. Jeremy loved waving it as each group passed by.

Jeremy loved the "fire crucks"

We liked all the old cars!

I liked this one!

Santa even came!

One of our favorite places to eat came!!

What a funny face!

There were tons of old cars.

Jeremy on daddy's shoulders waving his flag as the floats drove by. The parade was fun. I think we started a new tradition....maybe.....

The rest of the fourth was non eventful. We played super mario brothers, and took naps. Once the evening came, we went to my parents and ate hamburgers and hotdogs. Once it got dark we had our own "fireworking" show. Jeremy was a little nervous about them at first but by the end he was brave and loved holding his own "parkors" (sparklers). The people in our neighboring community had the fire works that shot up in the air. Who needs to drive somewhere when you have neighbors who will break the law. hehe We had a fun time!

More Summer Fun!

This would be Jeremy's choice of clothing. All he like to do is run around in his undies. Its Summer and it is HOT! Don't worry we dress him before we go anywhere (unless we walk across the street to grandma's house). Having him wear only his undies, is great because he likes going pee all by himself, and having a shirt and shorts just get in the way.

Jeremy is such a goof. I was getting him ready for the day and his pj top got stuck on his large head. He started laughing and I had to take a picture. He looked so funny. He is such a goof.

This would be our favorite summer treat. We LOVE Menchi's frozen yogurt. You get to serve yourself. The flavor of yogurt and all the toppings you want. Jeremy chose pink yogurt with animal cookies, m&m's, and sprinkles. We love love love frozen yogurt!

Aquatic Center

Last week we went to the Aquatic Center with our good friends Amber, Laila, Rachel and Kaylee. We had a blast. Jeremy loved going down the little slide all by himself. At first he was a little weary about the water, but once he found that he could walk all by himself without going under the water, he started to get comfortable. A little too comfortable. We had fun playing in the water and making water shoot out of different places. After playing for a while, we decided to get some ice cream to share. It was yummy.

I still have more to blog about, I just need to put my pictures into my computer!

Kick off to a GREAT Summer!

We kicked off the summer this monday. W watched Jeremy's friend Penny and we went to the park and had fun on the swings and slides and playing in the sand. We walked home and ate some lunch. After lunch we decided to play in the water. I filled up buckets of water and had the kiddos "paint" the garage and driveway. My friend Amy and her daughter, Cali also came to join us. Amy helped me wash all of the outside toys. The kiddos loved running under the hose. Thanks warm weather for coming so we can enjoy the outside water fun!

We eat lots of apples in this house. Jeremy loves them! He was being very silly and how he was eating them.

Today, I took Jeremy to Scooter's Jungle.He had a blast. He loved going down this big slide!

Jeremy loved going down the zip-line. He held on very well! He is so strong!

Here is an up-close oh Jeremy going down the slide. Doesn't he look like hes having fun?

Jeremy wanted to play air hockey. He was actually pretty good. He would try and stop the puck when it came near him. He would then hit the puck over to my side. If the puck looked like it would go into my goal, I would miss hitting the puck so it would go in my goal. He loved getting the goal. He saw that he was getting goals and I wasn't. So, he would move his hitter and let me get some. I told him that he was suppose to block the puck and he told me mommy gets goals too! HE had tomake sure it was fair. He is the sweetest.

After Scooter's Jungle, we met our church group at Central Park. Jeremy loves playing with Austin. The would go down the slide and go up the stairs, they stayed very busy.

Needless to say, he had a very busy day. He zonked out when he cuddled with daddy while watching toy story. I love these boys!

I love Our Mornings!

I Love my mornings with Jeremy! Every morning, Jeremy waked up usually between 7:30-8:00 and comes into my bed and cuddles while we watch a movie. This happens all the time. After cuddling for a few minutes he asks for some cereal. So I go down stairs and get him some dry cereal and chocolate milk and then he eats and drinks while we watch the movie. Some mornings, i go back to sleep while he watches. Once the movie is over, usually around 10, we go downstairs and we eat breakfast and get ready for the rest of the day.

I love my 2 year old. he is so much fun. He has his tantrums, but they aren't that often. He is usually very sweet. He makes it easy to be his mother. Once we are ready for the day, we play or run errands, or go on walks, We have a very open days.

I just love my baby boy Jeremy! We have lots of fun together!

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY TO THE MOTHERS THAT MEAN THE MOST TO ME!!

The Month of April

The first weekend in April, Mike, Jeremy, and I drove up to Utah for my Nauvoo Class reunion. We drove up on Friday night when Mike got home from work. Our goal was to pull an all night drive, but as Mesquite got closer, we decided to stop and sleep for the rest of the night. We stayed at the Virgin River......worst experience ever! The whole hotel smelled of smoke, the beds were tiny and hard as a rock and not to mention our neighbors. Lets just say it was like we were in a movie. Where a family comes to rest and the couple next door are "having fun" if you know what I mean. Not fun at all. However, the rest was necessary and well needed. We woke up early so we could get into Springville Utah for lunch. We stayed with Mike's sister, Jami and her family. I love her family. She has three little girls who are just so much fun. After we showered and got ready, we drove up to Salt Lake to walk around Temple square. We met up with my awesome sister and a couple of her friends to just visit. After we walked around, Mike and I went up to Bountiful to my reunion. Only FIVE of my nauvoo friends showed up. It was a lot of fun to catch up with them and remember old times.


Then on Sunday morning, we woke up to SNOW!!! It was fun. JEremy did not like the snow at all. He didnt like being cold ( I don't blame him). He spent most of the time in the garage with a scowl on his face. He is DEFINETLY a So Cal kid. After we played in the snow, we went over to my Best friend Allysa's house for breakfast and conference. We enjoyed waffles and bacon with her cute little family and parents. Once the session was over, Jeremy and I said goodbye to Mike as he left to go back to California so he could get to work on Monday. Then Jeremy and I drove up to Idaho with my sister so we could drive home with her on thursday. We had a FUN week. As Jessica took finals and went to class, Jeremy and I hung out with my roomie from Nauvoo Miriam and her cute sons. We also hung out with my other roomie KAtie and her cute kids. Idaho has to be one of the coldest palces EVER!! We had a good time. Jessica and I left on Wednesday night and drove to Saint George and stayed the Days Inn. It was a much better expierence. A big king bed with fluffy pillows, way comfortable. We woke up early on Thursday and drove the rest of the way home. Jessica and I had tons of fun. Jeremy was the BEST little boy I could have ever asked for. HE just sat in the back of the car and watched MEGamind over and over and over........
On April 13th we went to Disneyland and I FORGOT my camera. IT was a wonderful day spent with my parents, Jessica, and Jordan. Jeremy had so much fun this year. He was able to go on more of the rides and enjoyed every minute of it. We asked him if he wanted to wait to see Mickey or go on another ride, and he said another ride. We were able to go on EVERYTHING we wanted to. We stayed for the fireworks becasue JEremy wanted to see them, within 5 minutes of the show, Jeremy was out. It turned out to be a very fun day and look forward to continue this traditoon of going once a year.



Easter was tons of fun this year. We all got new Easter clothes....don't we look great? I think so.


Jeremy had so much fun hunting for "eggies." He was able to find them all with little to no help at all. The month of April had to be the best month so far.
