Day Out With Thomas!

Today they had a "Day Out With Thomas" in Heber and Chris and I were able to take the boys! It was a little pricey but the kids had a great time. We went on a 20-25 minute train ride and then walked around to the different little booths that they had. The kids carried around a little map and once they got four stamps from one of the workers, they got a little prize. There was a fun gift shop with WAY over priced Thomas stuff. We opted to not buy anything since we are buying Carter a train table for this birthday next month! I of course took a million pictures and wanted SO badly to get a good picture of the kids in front of Thomas. I was not happy that you had to pay to do this and wait in a long line. They had Thomas completely blocked off! So I tried to snag one once it drove past...kind of worked :) HAD to get cotton candy for the hour ride home. Can you say STICKY?!

Cutting Warriors

The kids LOVE helping my mom when she does any yard work outside. The other day, Uncle Travis was digging around a tree in the backyard and they kids were eager to help :) When I asked Landon if I could take a picture, he held up his rake and said "We're the cut Warriors!" Funny kids. Maybe someday we will have our own backyard and the kids can do all of the yardwork for me :)

The Aquarium!

Whiled I worked at an expo on Saturday in Sandy, my mom took the kids to the aquarium! Afterwards, they came by the expo and walked around for a while. Here are some fun pictures from that day!

P.S How brave is my mom taking two boys to places like this by herself? I think she deserves a treat...

Final Game

Soccer is now over for Landon :( There was only a total of five games because it kept snowing but we are so glad we signed Landon up. He had a lot of fun. For his last game, it was extra special because Grandpa Wagner got to come see him play. It was a little unorganized and kids were just goofing off but Landon still had a good time. Hopefully we can get him on a team next year-we love watching him play!

Two Year Old Shoot

Carter got this TWO year old pictures done this past week. I should be getting the cd with all the pictures in a few days but could not help but share these ones. I LOVE the pictures so far...they are exactly what I wanted. And Seriously, how did I get so lucky? Carter is such a stud!

Although it was hard to say goodbye, we are so happy that he was able to finally reunite with his sweetheart, our Grandmother who passed away 9 years ago. It was such a beautiful funeral and the spirit was so strong. The love that was filled in that day was overwelming. I am so lucky to have such an amazing family, and it would not of happned without him. See you later Grandpa.
