Hours of fun with one dump truck!

Thomas got this truck for his birthday. He hauls stuff in it, including his sister! They love playing with this fun toy! It is also helping him learn how to walk!

Paintin' Fences

Grandpa had projects for Kaley on this particular Saturday! She loves to help her "Paw-Paw" in the yard! And now we know she loves to paint!

Birthday Parties

Celebrating Thomas' birthday! We had presents and cake at Putnam's and a BBQ and water fun at the Coxes! Too much fun!

Cousin fun

We went to Liberty Park and Tracy Aviary with Chalae, Rachel and the kids. We had a fun time! The kids got to see a peacock with it's feathers all spread! It was a highlight!

Our house in the making!

Our house is being built! Our finish date is around July 13th. They say it could be a little later than that depending on weather, but they don't anticipate any delays! We are so excited! Josh has gone down every couple days just to see how they are doing, (his work is just 10 minutes away).

Memorial Day

I had a morning performance with the Lehi Choir. We had lots of family support there and it was a beautiful ceremony.

Swing fun!

This is our favorite park! We can walk to it, and it has swings!

Our San Diego Trip

We took a little road trip down to San Diego for the weekend. We left Wednesday afternoon and drove to Las Vegas. We stayed the night there and left early the next morning. We went to the Wild Animal Park that afternoon, then checked into our hotel. We celebrated Thomas' birthday on Friday at the hotel, then went to the Zoo. We hit the beach and then the Padres game. That was a packed day! On Saturday we went to Sea World all day! It was the highlight of the trip! We drove all the way back home on Sunday. That was a long ride, but the kids did pretty well! We had so much fun! I posted some of the 300 pictures that we took!

The Wild Animal Park

Our first destination was the Wild Animal Park. It was basically a bigger, cooler zoo. They had a big section in the back of the park that was just a bunch of animals roaming free, like they would in the wild. We took a little bus ride around that section and learned about the animals. It was pretty cool. It was a hot day, so we let Kaley play in the little water park. She loved it! Both kids thought it was way fun! They crashed on the way to our hotel! We played them hard!

Happy 1 Year Birthday Thomas!!!

We brought presents on our trip for Thomas. We opened them at our hotel. He thought they were great fun to play with on the long ride home!

San Diego Zoo

We went to the Zoo in San Diego! It was the best Zoo I have ever seen! The exhibits were amazing! The park was huge! There was a sky tram ride that took us from one end of the park to the other. Kaley loved it! She called it her airplane! When Thomas would see an animal, he would hold out his hand and just kinda grunt at it. It was so cute! We could tell he could see the animals and he was very intrigued! Kaley had so much fun! She loved all the animals! I think her favorite was the hippo or the polar bear. They had huge water tanks that the animals could swim in. It was pretty incredible! They even had a moving sidewalk from the bottom of the zoo to the top! That was our favorite part! :)

Beach Fun!

My favorite part of California - the beach! We found a little beach and let the kids play in the sand and get a little wet! I loved the breeze and the smell of the ocean!

Padres Game

To top of Thomas' birthday, we went to a Padres game! We only stayed for a couple innings, but we had a blast! We had ballpark hotdogs for dinner at Petco Park too.

Sea World

We did everything there was to do at Sea World! We were there when the park opened, and stayed until 8 that night! The last picture is where the kids fell asleep in the Penguin Exhibit. It was dark and cool in there - perfect sleeping environment! Josh wanted to crawl under the bench and take a snooze too! We had so much fun! Kaley tells everyone she sees that we went to Sea World and saw Shamu. It was by far her favorite! She liked how he would jump out of the water and splash people! We sat in the "Soak Zone", but did not get wet. Maybe next time!
