Spring Break

We took all of spring break off this year and it was WONDERFUL. We're dreading going back to work on Monday but such as life. There's too many pics to choose from so there will be 2 posts. We went to Burley Friday, the 20th and got to hang out with our families, which is always nice. We went to Utah on Monday, the 23rd, to see Great Grandparents. Both of Josh's grandparents live in Utah. ( All mine are in heaven). We got to spend some time with Grandpa & Grandma Mathews on Monday. We went to dinner with them, Becky, Brenda, Brenda's boys (not Chad of course because he doesn't like me :), and Robert. It was so nice to visit with them and enjoy their company even if we did have just about the worst service ever at Red Robin.

This was on the way home from Utah. He made himself a little pillow and was getting ready to go to sleep and gave mom a cheese for the camera. He's so stinkin' cute!


Ryker & Hunter at Red Robin. Ryker kept spinning Hunter around the floor in his high chair. They both had a blast w/ it.

This is on the way to Burley on the 20th. He wanted his shoes off and then he thought he should put them back on.

Update

This past weekend we were able to go to the Monster Trucks. It was a lot of fun! My sister and her boyfriend, David, and his son Tyson got to come too. Hunter loved it! He followed the trucks every where they went. Tyson didn't care for it as much at first but once he realized they weren't going to hurt him he was fine with it.

The end of February I was forced to take a day off, yes forced. And so Hunter and I made banana bread that day. He had so much fun, he loves helping in the kitchen and for the most part does pretty good. The above pic is the after affect. You always have to wear some of whatever you're cooking, right? At least that's Hunter's rule. :)

What have we been up to...

Pay it Forward

So, here's how this game works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!

Hunter has been such a joy lately. He makes me smile everyday. He's the reason to breathe everyday (and josh). Hunter is growing up so much but he is learning more and more. He is always surprising me with new things. Give it another week and he will probly be talking. He's happy (most of the time) and he reminds me so much that I take things for granted so often. That I need to step back and appreciate the life and blessings I have more often. I love being a mom and couldn't ask for a better job! I just need more kids! (I got get Josh talked into it still) :) Someday soon!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

My valentine's day started out wonderful! My crazy boys (yes, Hunter helped) made me breakfast. It was delicious too! They made me hashbrowns with onions and cheese, heart shaped sausage patties, and bullseye toast. I had never had bullseye toast before, but it was super yummy. Josh's dad used to make it all the time I guess. Anyways, you take your toast and cut out your shape, Josh of course, did a heart. Then you butter your bread and put it in your pan. Then you crack your egg and put it in the middle of your toast where you shape came out of and cook it. If you flip it right you can still have your yolk runny and then you just break of pieces of your toast and dip it in the yolk. It was a super fun idea. I loved my breakfast and it was so good. My boys sure a great!!

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
