Drawings and us

The boys started Pee Wee Jr. Jazz a couple of weeks ago. It's fun because it's for kids 3-5 years old -so both boys get to play. They love being on the same team. It's funny though, because almost all the kids on the team look and act like 4-5 year olds.. pretty obvious that Blake is the only 3 year old! haha. But he is actually doing much better than we thought he would the first day. He might not have as much coordination as all the other kids that are older than him, but he definitely keeps up :) 

We find ourselves quite impressed from the coach. He does amazing, especially for 10 kids that young. He keeps them moving the whole time, and they learn all the things you would expect at any basketball practice. Too bad it's only for 4 weeks, but at least if they want to play basketball when they get older - they will remember a lot of the basics!

I thought I would add in a couple of pictures the boys have drawn in the last couple of weeks. It's neat to see their imagination in their drawings.

 And I had to add a picture of cute little Tye! He has figured out this little blue ride thing is quite fun. He knows Jack can get him on if he is having trouble.. so it's funny to hear Tye yell and point at Jack and yell, "JJAAAA! JJAAA!" Until Jack picks him up and puts him on! haha. Funny boys.

Oh! Also, my rock-star parents just ran a 1/2 marathon across the Golden Gate Bridge!! How cool are they?!

Guess who's 1 !

Tyler is now 1 years old! Wow that first year flew by fast, and yet it seems like he's been part of our family for much longer :) We just had a small fun little family party where Jack and Blake helped me make the cupcakes - it was fun, special and low stress. In other words, a great little party!

We are so glad Tyler is a part of our family. Happy birthday you handsome little dude!!

Aerial Silks

It was actually nice to sign up to compete at an Aerial Competition. It really makes you work that much harder, and it helped me strive to get better so much faster. It's crazy to think how far I've come from just a few months ago! My strength has increased, and I am learning so many things now! I am so grateful to have found such a fun passion/hobby !

The competition was fun. Trent and Josh came to watch - it was located at the Outlaw in Ogden, UT. Each competitor got escorted up to perform, and there was people surrounding the stage. I forgot what it was like to perform/compete. It was such a rush. I would love to do it again soon.

Even though I wasn't the best one there, I still felt like I did great for myself. The two people that beat me have been doing it for years, and one of them was an instructor! So it didn't bother me too bad :) It was the random people afterwards that told me how awesome it was, or that I should definitely win, that made it totally worth it. 

There were some amazing performances there, and I was just excited to be a part of it all!

Trent's Birthday!

On Trent's birthday it was fun to go with him and our friends out to a trampoline park! We had never done that before, and it was kinda funny that we just decided to go as adults. :) 

We went out to dinner first and even got some frozen yogurt afterwards. I found out that my camera isn't the best for getting 'action shots' of jumping on the trampoline. But that's okay - we still have the memories. haha. Sure love you Trent!

If you look closely.. Tye's shirt says, "I DIG MY DAD." I thought it was fitting since it was Trent's birthday. :)

Easter!

This Easter we went for the usual Easter egg hunt in North Salt Lake. There were so many kids this year...  Jack only got 4 eggs and Blake only got 6! Crazy! They were filled with coupons this year instead of Candy, which I thought was very cool. It's probably part of the whole 'Save the Bunny' campaign to help save the chocolate bunnies (no joke, check it out!). 

Then we headed over to Trent's Mom's for an Easter scavenger hunt - and on the acutal Easter morning we had fun searching for Eggs filled with one fruit snack each - the boys loved it :)

Oh.. my favorite part of Easter was when I told Trent the boys wanted to dye eggs the night before and they all turned out red. HAHA. Apparently we aren't the best egg dyers!
