Easter fun and more...!

I couldn't get Wyatt to look straight at me for his Easter picture so this is the best I got...

I also had a hard time getting both the kids to look at me...I should have never waited until after church to take them!!



This picture of Bria wasn't in good focus but I love it because it captures her in the moment of finding the egg!!

Bria has had this rain coat and rain boots for so long, waiting for the perfect moment to bust them out...Saturday it finally came...

Lately Wyatt has been trying to sleep with Bria..he gets up on her pillow and sticks his thumb in his mouth, signaling us to put him to bed, he loves Bria!!

I forgot to mention that Bria loves to ride her bike...no training wheels and all...she has been doing this since around Christmas...She is so much fun!!

Wyatt Vs. Birthday Cake.......Wyatt wins!!!

2 weeks in New Zealand!!!

For those of you that didn't know, my family and I went to New Zealand to pick up my brother from his mission, we have been planning this for a year...I can't believe it is already over!! We had the funnest time ever....It was a hard time picking the right pictures...sorry if they all start looking the same...here we go.....!

This actually isn't New Zealand, we had a 6 hour lay over in Fiji so we went to the beach..it was beautiful but seriously HOT.

We went Jet boating in a place called Taupo, the breeze was pretty cold but believe it or not, the water was really warm due to some hot springs.

we happened on this place while we were driving, it's like a glorified Alpine slides....it was so neat!!

This is Katie(my sister) and I  on our way to go get Thomas...we were so excited!!

Thomas and Clayton...aren't they so cute.....

One of my favorite parts of the trip was going to a town called Tauranga and hiking the mountain...It was one of the few times we were in the sun believe it or not...It rains quite a bit there.

This is Clayton signing his life away before he did a 180 foot bungy jump..I chose to pass on that...

The boys before they took the big jump..no fear...right!

This is after we took the ferry and got to the South Island...which was a lot cooler than the north...I guess its really close to Antartica..who knew?

Katie, my Mom, and I before we did some go-carting..

The last big thing we did was go to the Antartic center and see how they do things, we took the huge truck up some fun hills and into water...that was the only thing fun about it..the rest was about penguins..and cold weather...I am not really into either one!!

It really was the trip of a lifetime...we had so much fun, but I have to say...seeing my kids again was the funnest part..we missed them like crazy, it might be a long while before we have a trip like that again!!!!

My Front Yard

Beware....this is the longest post I have ever done!!!!

I decided to do a photo shoot all by myself and it didn't turn out half bad...I am actually really excited about the cool shots that I got...hence the huge amount of pictures that are to follow...this is all in my front yard and with all the falling leaves...I had to capture some of it..so I hope you enjoy!!!!

Super Wy!!

Lately Wyatt has been pulling a sock off and stashing it in his mouth for when he is on the move....it kind of reminds me of a dog with a bone in his mouth, though Wyatt is much cuter, may be not less slobbery!!!!

Wyatt on the move...

Here he is doing the same with a headband I have..

Christmas 2008

This year Christmas was especially fun, having a three year old is all you need to get excited!! Bria was a blast opening up her gifts, she especially like her American doll she got from Grandma Sonny...she made me take pictures of her with the doll!!!!

Wyatt was fun too but more so because he is just so cute...Santa didn't bring him too much this year....just wrapping paper he could play with..thats what he liked best..

By the end of the day..this is what I got when I went to check on Bria...she looks like sure had a great Christmas!!!

Bria had her first preschool program and she did really great( except for when she ran up to the teacher in the middle of it and showed her the earings she got to wear and her new dress!!) At the end of the program Santa showed up and Bria told him that she wants a real black horse, I know...good luck with that!!
