Thomas and Friends

This weekend, we were lucky enough to ride on Thomas The Train.
We got to go with a bunch of cool people. Great Grandma D, Grandma n' Grandpa Far Away, Aunt Anna, Uncle Eric, Aunt Genna, Uncle Steve, Aunt Emily, Emma, and Eliza. Dad got sick and didn't make it.


Burner was so cute. He was so excited and just watched out the side the whole time. We made him turn around for a pic, and he got a sour look on his face (bottom right corner).
The boys both got tattoos.

After the ride, we went to a, train themed, restaurant nearby.
They have a train that circles around the ceiling continuously,


In the kids meal, they received swords.

It wasn't long before Uncle Eric challenged Bop to a fight. It was sad to see a grown man lose... and then cry about it. That's what you get for messing with Bop!

Also, I found out some useful information. If I want Bop to take a picture, all I have to do is ask Emma to take one, and Bop comes running to be in it. He loves his cousin so much.

Class of 2010

Bop was supposed to graduate Monday, but the unexpected snow put a hold on things. He, and his class did the graduation ceremony last night instead.

Here Bop is with his diploma

Grandma's and Grandpa's along with Aunt K and Aunt Pig were able to come cheer for him.


Bop and his 2 teachers.

Congrats Bop. We are so proud of you.

Snow in May

We woke up to snow this morning. Snow, and it is almost June, this is annoying.  

Dinner and a Movie

Bop wanted to go on a date with Me, so I took him to see the new Shrek movie.
He was so excited. He kept talking about how we were going to sit on the top row and he was going to get popcorn and a treat.
After the movie, Bop treated me to dinner and dessert... and I even got a kiss.

Fun in St George

I never posted pics from our last trip to St. George (the funnest place on earth). So here goes.

Burner got hurt, my friend Heather decided it would be fun to wrap him in cling wrap instead of just giving him a band aid. All the kids loved it and wanted to do the same.

We walked to the candy store and let the kids pick out treats. They, of course, loved it!

We went to a swim park/ splash pad.
Look at those muscles (ignore the ribs, he is sucking in, he isn't malnourished )


Burner is strong too.
The kids love this place. They can run up and down a stream, there is also a waterfall to play in.


I got these cool new sunglasses!

I love hanging out with my (nutty) friend, Heather.
okay, here is a little better pic of her.

Painting

Bampa has been painting the trim in his house. Bop and Burner love to help.
Bop does a good job, and Bampa lets him do it unassisted (but not unsupervised)


Burner does a good job, but Bampa likes to help him out.



Burner thinks he is a big boy and tries it on his own sometimes.

Gymnastics Exhibiton

Bop had his first Gymnastics Exhibition and he did great.

He got a blue ribbon for doing such a good job.

Here are some videos of the events.

1. Him and his team mates entering the gym. The theme of the exhibition was "Disney" so he is wearing mickey mouse ears. He is the one in the gray shorts and white t-shirt.

2. Bop on the parallel bars.

3. Bop on the bars. (ignore the kid on the rings)
I messed up on this video, so you only get to see him dismount. Sorry.

4. Bop doing his floor routine.

5. Bop on the rings.
I messed up on this video, so you only get to see him dismount. Sorry. Again.

6. Bop on the spring board.

Bowling at Home

Bampa bought a Nintindo Wii and the kids love it.

Here is a video of Bop bowling. He is really good at it.


Here is a video of Burner bowling.

Happy Mothers Day

Yesterday was not only the best Mothers Day ever, but one of the best days I have ever had.

Bop drew this picture for me. It is a picture of me, and at the bottom it says "I Love Mom"

Dad spoiled me with Love, Attention, (and of course gifts).

Everything was so wonderful yesterday.

Thank you to Dad, and my kids for the great day, and for making me feel loved.

Fun with Bampa

Not all Grandparents are willing to climb through tunnels and get stuck in a cage, or...
slide down slides that are way to small for them.

But lucky for my kids, they have grandparents that will.

I may not have pictures to prove it with all 4 grandparents, but I have pictures to prove Bampa will do it.

Dinosaur Museum with Dad's Family

Bop and Burner have been wanting to go to the Dinosaur Museum with Dad's family for months now. This last weekend, they finally got to come down and visit.

As always, one of the highlights was the sand pit.
Cousin and Bop worked together to bury Burner.


Bop loves his cousin so much. He is always watching out for her. They were so cute, as Bop led her around and held her hand.
Sorry, I kind of slacked in the picture taking, because I have posted a lot of pics of the Dino Museum in the past.
