Stockton Children's Musuem






Yesterday we embarked on a journey to Pixie Woods in Stockton. Well, when we got there the sign was pretty clear: Open Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays. We were there on a Tuesday so it was not going to happen for us. We decided to go to the Stockton Children's Musuem and the boys had such a fun time. Then we went out to lunch and I shopped at my favorite store- Home Goods. It was a great day

Family Home Evening





We had Rob and Tennille's family and Betty and Cindy over for family home evening. We barbequed, played, and listened to a wonderful lesson prepared by Madison and Ashlyn. It was a fun night.

Best Friends


Here's a picture of Ryan and Dylan playing around! They love each other so much and are starting to enjoy eachother's company.

Swimming



On Saturday we went swimming! That's right it was 90 degrees and we had to go! Dylan loved watching Ryan go down the slide.

More Rodeo Pics






Rodeo Parade





This weekend was the annual Rodeo Parade and Ryan was excited to go (he doesn't remember the other three he had been to previously- this was a big year of firsts for him). It was HOT. We were standing in the sun, but that did not get us down. We enjoyed the horses and the clowns, and most of all seeing Madison dancing (we were on the wrong side to see Ashlyn riding on the trailer). The highlight for Dylan was the donuts we brought. He had two and a half!

Modesto Nuts



Baseball season has started! We went to opening day at the Modesto Nuts and the boys (including Daniel) enjoyed every minute. We watched about fifteen minutes of the game, spent 40 dollars on hot dogs, and spent the rest of the night jumping in the jump house, going down the slide and playing at the park (Daniel thought it was funny that we were now paying to use the bounces that he had sold to the Nuts.) It was a great way to start out the season.

Chocolate Chip Cookies




The boys and I decided to spend some time baking cookies. It was fun to do and as you can see Dylan loved the results.

Popsicles



It has been pretty nice spring weather and we made popsicles. It was so cute because Dylan was holding it backwards. We are having so much fun in our backyard!

Easter Dinner





We had Easter dinner at our house. The count was ten kids, nine adults- we are outnumbered!

Easter Outfits




The boys looked so handsome in their Easter Outfits. Of course, I always think they look handsome!

Easter Baskets




Our Easter Bunny is very sneaky and hides the baskets so that the boys have to find them. They found them and were excited about the fun treats he left behind.

Easter Eggs



This year Ryan loved dyeing Easter Eggs. He colored on them with crayons and then dipped them in the dye. Dylan could have cared less and was just walking around getting into trouble the whole time (I included the picture of Dylan playing in the trash- do you like how Daniel forgets to take out the trash in the morning so we have a paper bag besides the trash can).

Picnic at the Park




We enjoyed a nice dinner at the park. Ryan and Dylan had so much fun playing with their cousins- we just wish Lily was there so that all of the cousins were together. Maybe next Easter. (Hint to Joel and Rachel).
