New Colt & Pictures of the Kids

We got corn on the cob in our Bountiful Basket and is was so good. This is Preston's first time eating corn on the cob. He did pretty good cleaning it off. He loved it. We have had it a few times since and he just can't get enough.

Preston enjoying his popcicle. It took a few washes but I got the red out of his shirt. I suggest not buying cheap superman popcicles, they have a lot of dye in them.

Preston loves to play in the gator. I can only imagin the places he will try to go when he figures out how drive it.

Shelby striking a pose.

Sydney enjoying a cupcake at Grandpa Scott's B-day party.

Preston saw the ice cream scoop on the counter and thought he needed some ice cream. He pushed the stool over to the bar and climbed up and got it. I think I am going to have a problem with him getting into everything.

Shelby playing with the electrical tape, making a mustache like Daddy's

Sydney's Shining Star poster for Kindergarten. Each week in her class a different kid got to be the Shinning Star and be Mrs. Anderson's special helper and be at the front of the line. Sydney had fun picking out the pictures and glueing them on. She did a great job cutting around the flowers to put on it.

Preston onGrandma Bev's lawn mower, he didn't want to get off when it was time.

In April we got a new colt. Shaun's sister called and said Anne had it and it was a little girl. So, we headed over to Shaun's parents house in Smithfield and took a look. Shaun caught it and let the kids pet it. Then a about a week later Shaun's dad called and said that our little filly colt was now a horse colt. No one had really looked at it and thought it was a girl, so needless to say Shaun was even happier because we now had a boy instead of a girl. Here are some cute pictures of the little guy. Right now we think he is going to be a blue roan. The kids named him Blue Jeans, we are going to try and register his name as Forever In Blue Jeans.

Easter 2010

I know I am a little slow, but better late than never. Saturday of Easter we went to Garland's Easter Egg Hunt. Preston came out the winner between the kids with 8 eggs collected and a ton of suckers. Sydney and Shelby both got 3 eggs and some candy. They were haveing more fun just running around and talking to their friends. It had snowed the night before and there was a couple inches on the ground, nothing like frozen candy for Easter.

We then headed over to Smithfield and went to Lee's Market with G-ma Bev, Hudson, and Angie and did their easter hunt. The kids got balloons, string cheese, and candy. Boy was it crowded. After Lee's we went to Aunt Angies and the kids colored Easter Eggs.

Sunday moring was much warmer, the kids loved their flip flops and sunglasses they got from the easter bunny. I think it is funny that here it is April and Easter morning and they are wearing their Christmas PJs.

My Mom

So my mom is getting married next Friday July 2nd. They decided last week that they were going to do this. Talk about fast! Well they are going on an Alaskan cruise on July 10, which they planned 4 months ago, and decided they wanted to be married before they went. I wonder why!! So now I am in super planning mod, which I haven't planned a wedding since I got married 9 years ago. Thanks so much to all the friends that are offering to help. A friend in our ward is going to frost the cupcakes for me and I am so excited to see them. I know they are going to turn out great. She is going to make chocolate butterflies to go on top. I already know that the cupcakes are going to be my favorite part.

Saturday after my yard sale, we went over to Logan and she found 2 dresses she likes, so she bought them both and she has until next Friday to decide which one she wants to wear. I told her now she has 2 new dresses she can wear on the cruise(unless she takes one back).

She keeps changing her mind on the menu. She put me in charge and then when I tell her what I am doing she says no, go figure. You would think she was a 20 something getting married not a 61 year old. Oh well, I am happy for her anyway, even if she is causing me way to much STRESS. 4th of July weekend is not the best time to get married. I don't suggest it, unless you have it planned months in advance.

Now the only thing I have to worry about is some sort of decoration/backdrop for the wedding. She can't be just standing up there with nothing, but that is last on my list, if I don't get to that then I don't. I actually think she is going to get married in the Relief Society room so I won't have to worry about it, maybe just get a pretty flower arrangement. Any ideas would be great.

Shelby's B-day

Shelby turned 3 in March (I know I am slow) She wanted an Ariel cake and to go bowling so we went to the bowling ally and had pizza and bowled. She loved it, in fact the kids beat the adults in bowling, with the help of the bumper pads. She got a dress up dress, a scooter, dancing Dora, clothes, books, and money.

Shelby and her dancing Dora doll. She has wanted this since she seen this after Christmas. She was so excited to get it. Preston likes it to. He loves to push the button and dance with her.

Preston trying to be a big boy and stand on the stool to brush his teeth like the girls do. Only problem is that once he gets up, he can't get back down.
