Beautiful South!

Okay so I know it's a long way to drive to our house from everything "in town" but you just can't beat waking up to this view! Our favorite thing to do right after the kids go to bed is to sit on the porch and watch the Lake! (ha well not Jon's favorite thing to do! heehee jk!) Anyway, we love it out here and can't wait for our yard to be finished! I'll post pics of that another time, whew, that's a whole other week.

I suppose I should have posted earlier but it's the best I can do! Here's a recap of our lives the past month!

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Harris a couple weeks ago and Uncle Lane fell asleep with Bridger on his lap! Bridger was so curious as to why he wasn't being moved around, he kept arching his back to see where the snoring was coming from! Haha it was great!

---------------------------------------------------------

Easter! The kids made a haul this year, I was bad about taking pictures at the other 3 Easter
egg hunts so this one is the only one I got! Grandma did a cute scavenger hunt with clues hid in all the eggs to prizes hid around the house! I didn't even get that creative this year at my house!

Hunter and Hanna had a blast at Easter this year, they still gets very excited! I can't remember when that starts ending for children?! I hope not too soon, they still believe in everything magical!
----------------------------------------------------------


Daddy son time! Jon took Hunter out hiking the other day and I tdon't think I've seen him so excited (both of them)! They both had their camel packs on and went up out mountain Geo Caching after their soccer game (oh, Jon is coaching Hunter's soccer team! I'll post pics later!) Anyway, I can tell such a huge difference in Hunter's attitude after a little "daddy" time. He's like a different kid. He forgets all tension and whinyness (if that's a word) and decides to copy Jon's attitude of taking care of the family! It's actually pretty funny to hear him talk like an adult, he cracks us up!

Sorry so blurry, i still haven't gotten a new camera and Jons work one is really crappy :(
-------------------------------------------------------

We went to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point on one of those days that looked really warm but in reality was 39 deg. out! Brrr. Ohwell, it got is us out of the house!

--------------------------------------------------------

My happy Bridger Boy! He is all smiles. Well except when he's hungry and boy does that kid have lungs! But he really is a sweet heart and such a joy in our lives!

Cuddle time. Bridger is my cuddliest baby! As long as he has his binky, he will snuggle till his eyes close! I LOVE it. But sometimes the kitty gets jealous. Haha!

I guess Bridger doesn't seem to mind!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hanna's business trip with daddy!

Jon brought Hanna along to one of his trip to Colorado! She had a blast and was very spoiled. The funniest thing though was watching her sleep. We never get to do that because we're in the other rooms. But Jon put her to bed and stayed up for another couple hours and this is what he watched!

This is her morning hair! We tease her almost every morning that "Ralph the Hair Dresser gets her hair at night!" She gets pretty mad!

The funniest part is the socks pulled up to her knees!

Sorry about the long long post, but I just can't get on top of posting regularly anymore. ah ohwell!

I leave Jon in charge for 5 minutes...

Bridger didn't seem to mind!

March babies are the cutest!

Happy Birthday to Jon on March 14th! It was on a Sunday and one Sunday a year he has to do a show for a company he distributes to....Bummer it happened to fall on his birthday :( Mine was the day before so we just had a full weekend of Dates and fun stuff!

At grandma and grandpa Harris' house for our birthdays!

We used our awesome birthday coupons and got a great date on my Birthday! We love this place, but we always eat way too much!!!

Jon was super cute on my b-day. He and the kids hid clues all around the house leading me to my next treat! He was very creative and the kids loved it!

On a different note, Hanna and I have been having fun trying out new hair styles that will work with short bobs! We did this cool flipsy pony tail thing across the top like a head band and in the picture at the top of the post we tried a french braid as a headband! It's a work in progress, I just learned how to french braid and they are FAR from perfect!



Bridger! ...and our cat Spooky!


I think our cat is just in love with our little Bridger boy!

Bridger doesn't seem to mind!


For Jon's b-day the kids and I made his favorite dinner, RIGATONI! It's quite the project and takes me forever to make because it's such a huge recipe! we usually freeze half! Anyway, the kids got bored and asked me to take their picture in their newly made frames!!!!



]How creative they are!!!


ANTELOPE ISLAND!!!
On Monday we tagged along with Jon to Logan for work! On the way home we decided to head out to Antelope Island for FHE! I forget how beautiful it is there! Grandma and grandpa Harris came with us! We had a picnic of subway in a 45 deg. wind and then got back in the truck! Brrr.!

Good thing Jon's mom had her camera, she gets all the good shots!!! Hahaha!


Jon was teaching the kids how to skip rocks, they almost got it!


Bubba and Mommy!!!




Maybe this will be our Christmas picture! we never seem to get good smiles when we actually all look cute but when there's just this random day, we're all smiling!



Hanna is my little buddy and I love hanging out with her! She's not in school yet and I love soaking up just me and her time!

Daddy teaching Hunter how to skip those cool flat salt rocks!
They were really frustrated that they couldn't get it!



This is Hanna's face after trying for a REALLY long time to skip the rock! I thought it was classic!

And this is Hunter frustrated face! Haha, those were the best pics of the day!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming along at the last minute!

Swimming in Macrh!

I guess we have spring fever or something! We just all really wanted to go swimming so we headed off the the South Jordan indoor pool! It is so cute and has a fun slide for the big kids (me and my sister and Jon!)

The kids loved it! I wish we were close to some sort of public place where they could swim or play. EVERYWHERE is a 20 minute drive. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is quiet here! And we do love it!

tea time!

Hanna loves to have these tea parties or she call them "mate" parties because that's the drink we drink together every morning! The kitty decided to join us on this one! good thing it was just water!


Hunter's stellar hair cutting pose! Thank goodness kelsee cuts hair! She had to fix the terrible job I did.

As for Jon and I...we just got back from Arizona! Jon took me along one of his business trips for Valentines day! We left the kiddos at my moms (except Bridger) and enjoyed some time away! I couldn't believe how much I needed it, It was a blast and I did WAY too much shopping! The Arizona Mills outlet mall is the BEST!!!!!!!

We are officially unpacked!!!

Well it's taken us 7 months but I didn't have anywhere to put our stuff so it just sat there in boxes downstairs. Jon has been working on the nights that I teach and we've finally finished our cold storage room. WOOHOO! Our sad excuse for a food storage now has shelves to sit on! Plus all our "CRAP" in jon's words has a home! Now on to Hunter's room!




Jon's nerdy safety glasses. What a goof!!!
