To grandmother's house we go!

My awesome, sweet grandmother is 87 years old and she is so cute! I hadn't been to her house since Caiden was three months old so I decided to join my mother on her annual trip out to Connecticut this year. I brought along a little extra baggage (my sister Cailin and Paxton) and over all, we had a pretty good time! We mostly just relaxed and visited with grandma who told us a lot of stories and we enjoyed discussing lots of childhood memories. The most fun was making new memories with Paxton and my sweet grandma and hilarious uncle Alan. My grandma is so good with kids and she loved holding him before he'd wriggle out of her grasp and wander away. I'm glad both my kids are fearless and will go to anyone without much of a fight.

There was a beautiful daffodil field that we stopped to pose for some pics by. There were hundreds of these pretty flowers growing in a field nearby my grandma's house.

This was taken on Sunday after church. I wanted to get a four-generation picture while I was there. I must say, I do see some family resemblance until you look at the little boy-guess he takes after his dad!

Paxton with all his Easter egg spoils! They were all filled with money so he was not as happy as he could have been, but it was nice for my cousin to go to all the trouble to do an egg hunt for the kids!

He didn't run and gather up as many as he could, but he had fun whenever he would spot one! It didn't take him long to catch on!

Eating at Crabby-Al's! Yum!

This was my birthday party! My uncle (who is a far better cook than I am) made a delicious lasagna and my mom and grandma whipped up a cheesecake for me! I never go hungry at grandma's house! I'm sure I gained some weight in the week that I was there!

Snowman in April!

Yes, it is true that in Utah it can be 70 on day and 40 then next-I'm not even making that up! But I try to be of the attitude that when you have lemons you make lemonade so I got us all bundled up and we made a pretty good snowman! Paxton loved it but was beyond freezing by the time I dragged him in kicking and screaming.

"I have hair."

Paxton has always had very little hair and what he does have is very blond and hard to see. Well we wanted to prove to the world that he does have hair-and even if he didn't we would love his cute big head anyways!! Ha Ha! I am also glad to report that he has not had any major illnesses(knock on wood) since the last post. Good thing he is cute! Right now he is sitting on the floor stiring up four pieces of cereal in a big bowl and pretending to eat them, hen he'll hold the spoon up to my mouth and chomp his mouth-that is one of his favorite things to play. Maybe he'll be a chef when he grows up.

Dinosaur Park!!

Caiden got to go to the Dinosaur Park for preschool on March 23. He loves his preschool friend and was so excited to go see the dinosaurs. We went therw when he was two, but I'm sure he doesn't remember that and he seemed to like it much more this go round. They got to listen to a presentation about dinosaurs then make their own puppet. We stayed and looked at all the dinosaurs outside for about an hour and a half even though it wasn't the best weather. At least it wasn't snowing or raining on us, but the wind did make it a little cold! I took Paxton to the sitter early so that it was just a special day for me and Caiden!
