Pirate Scout Camp

Jeremy worked for hours and hours to prepare for his 2 day scout camp.  He had a pirate theme and made amazing posters to boot. 

Here is the crew all ready to go!

While there they had some different challenges that they did in order to earn tools for the treasure hunt...

 

 

Finally it was time to hunt for treasure.  Jeremy spent hours making this amazing treasure hunt. 

Where the end result was their lunch in the cooler buried 3 feet deep.  But before they got to that there was a treasure that talked about the REAL treasure being Eternal Life.  He said it was awesome to be able to bear testimony to the boys, while still having a great time.

I am always just happy when they all arrive home safe, and I am glad that Jeremy worked so hard to make it a meaningful, purposeful camp.

Since returning, Hadley and Boston have been going on treasure hunts all over the house with Daddy as their leader!  So adorable.

Hadley's Special Day

 

We started out Hadley's birthday with traditional birthday pancakes!!

Then we headed to Toys R Us where she got her free birthday balloon and crown which she loves! She picked out a bubble toy for her gift!  My favorite part of the whole trip was when we left the automatic doors opened and she promptly said "Thank you Sir."

Then we headed to a park that has the worlds biggest swings, they are so fun! 

Then the splashed around in the fountain 

Getting more and more wet with each splash! 

Then we watched the cute baby ducks 

Played at the park 

and I think we officially wore the birthday girl out. 

While she was sleeping Boston and I set up for her PINK birthday party! 

While we were watching for Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa to arrive she played with her new bubbles! 

The guests arrived, and we had a yummy pizza dinner on PINK plates of course! 

She loved opening gifts.  She was just so excited she would just run around in circles! 

Our little Rapunzel  

Enjoying the love from Grandma and Grandpa!

We finished off of the night with PINK cupcakes, and Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cones. I think she had a fabulous 3rd birthday!

I am so grateful we to have Hadley in our family.  There is NEVER a dull or quiet moment with her around! She is just so stinkin' funny all day every day.  She is a very creative girl and loves to draw and use scissors.  She loves peanut butter and honey sandwiches, fruit snacks, pretzels, and all things sugar.  Her favorite color is PINK.  She goes super fast on her pink bike and keeps up with her brother in almost everything.  She loves toys that she can put together like puzzles, links, and Legos.  Her favorite friend is Alexa. She loves Dora, and Elmo.  She loves to sing and knows tons of songs.  Right now her favorite songs are the apostle song, and latter-day prophets.  Oh how we love our Hadley Boo!       

Happy 3rd Birthday Hadley Girl!

Our Hadley Girl turned 3 years old today!!  I can't believe our creative, energetic, always hungry, super silly little girl is 3!!  Here is a Hadley picture overload to celebrate!  :)
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mothers Day!

What a fabulous Mother's Day I had.  My sweet husband and kiddos made me breakfast and let me sleep in!  Then it was off to church, which was crazy like normal but wonderful.

Came home and made 1/2 of a german chocolate cake, and 1/2 of a Chocolate Mouse cake!  Then we headed out to my parents for a super yummy Stake and Potato Dinner! 

I forgot to get a picture of just me and my Mom, but I got a picture of her doing what she always does.  Making others happy! 

What a great Mother's Day! 

Happy Birthday Times 3, Happy Graduation, Happy Mother's Day Party!

On Saturday we had a picnic with the Rogers Family to celebrate Michael, Nathan, and Hadley's birthdays, Megan's graduation from BYU, and of course Mothers Day! 

I finally got to hold my new nephew Rykan.  He is SO ADORABLE!!!!! 

Hadley had tons of fun with her cousins.  She especially enjoyed the legos! 

Grandma and Grandpa Rogers gave her a super fun birthday present while we were there! 

Boston had tons of fun running around with his cousins too!  Here is him and Caydon about to race!

It was great to see everyone! 

Boston's Sillyness

Boston just simply can't wait to go fishing.  He spent forever on Saturday "practicing.'  So stinkin' adorable.

He has been on one this week, with way to many funny things to say.

"Does Grandma go to Young Women's or Old Women's?"

Me to Hadley after she took off her shoes for the 50th time outside... "Why do you always have to take your shoes off"  Boston then said "Maybe her piggies just want to be free!"

Me to Boston the day before Mother's Day "Boston after you make me breakfast tomorrow, THEN you can wake me up!"  "I can't!  I don't even have a food license."

First Slippin' and Sliddin' of the Year!

It sure has been HOT lately!  Kind of strange to pull out the slip and slide at the very beginning of May, but 85 is warm enough for this kind of action!!
 

 

Hadley made me a nervous wreck.  I only wish I had pictures of her 1st slides... they were rather scary!! 

 

 

As you can tell from Boston's face he took it quite seriously.

Oh man it is going to be a fun summer! 

Wood Badge

Jeremy spent April 26-28, and May 3-5 at a scout training called Wood Badge.  Hopefully he will share some of his other pictures soon, so I can add them to this post.  The picture above shows his patrol.  They were the bobwhites.  He had an absolutly wonderful time.  He said it was by far the best scouting experience he has EVER had.  He recieved lots of new ideas, and most importantly a renewed energy for his calling!

Field Trip to the Fire Station!

Boston and I had so much fun on his field trip to the Fire Station!  Although the senstitive guy was really nervous to go to sleep the next night, because he was afraid of a fire.  To bad I forgot my camera... and to bad my phone doesn't take decent pictures :(
