On Sunday all the family that was still in town from my mom's b-day party got together for confrenece and Easter. Okay your right more visiting happened then watching conference but after conference we went down to the park in my parents neighborhood for an egg hunt.
The gang waiting for the the hunt to start.
On the move. What a crazy bunch of kids.
There were two areas for egg hunting. Little and big kids were in two different areas so when the big kids got close to the park they tool off to their section.
The patient little ones who don't know what their missing yet.
Egg Hunting!! Karley
Siena (my sister's)

The gang
My cousin Jen was taking pictures of all the families. After she got done she took this picture and I thought they needed one more face.
They didn't realize I had jumped in behind them and was making faces.
So when they figured it out I took off.
After getting pumped up on sugar the oldest boys had a little too much energy so Colby took them on a little nature hike. As they were in the hills taking this picture a 7.2 earthquake hit. Ya they were fine. They didn't even know it had happened.

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my Mom's 60th Birthday!!!!So this last Saturday we surprised my mom with a party and gifts. She had no idea we had planned for her brother to come to town with several members of his family. My parents had some good friends of their come too. We met out at my older brother's house in Temecula.
Here is the Birthday Girl in her party hat. HAHA (the top of the pinata.)
There was lots of food !!!!
A pinata. Caden taking a swing.
Jake making contact. (science lesson her- How is the pinata on the ground but the candy that was inside it is still falling?) A bounce house.
And gifts. For my Mom's gift we made her a book of memories. My dad, all of my siblings, spouses, grandkids, nieces, nephews, her brother, sister and brother-in laws and her friends all shared memories of Karen and the funny story they have of her. It was so fun to tell stories and share fun memories together. Thanks everyone who was their and everyone who contributed all the great memories. She loved the book and will tresure your letters forever. Thanks Mangums and Pages for coming all this way and Thanks Nathan and Deanna for letting us use your house for the party.
Here are a few more pictures if the super fun party! I have more pictures stuck on the internal memory of my camera. We'll have to see if I can get them off. There maybe another posting of the party later.

Karley Turned 3

Yesterday was Karley's 3rd bday. She celebrated by going to preschool for the first time. She loves it. She and her cousin Mat started yesterday and are having a great time. Only Karley would want to go to school and have homework as her birthday presents.

Caden's Field Trip To See The Ducks

A few weeks ago I chaperoned a field trip to watch the ducks at practice. We were on the groud floor right by the players. The kids learned about science and hockey all at the same time. The field trip was a lot of fun.

Karley Latest Injury

Karley got out of dead one night and snuck into her brothers' room. They were both in the bathroom brushing their teeth getting ready for bed when we all heard a hudge thump. I ran into Karley's room thinking she had fallen out of her bed (since she was supposed to be asleep.) Jacob went into his room and found her on the floor by his bed. Appently she had desided to jump on his bed and had fallen off. Blood was now splurging everywhere. I put pressure on the only cut I could find, a little cut in her top lip (thinking that this was a lot of blood for such a small cut I contunued to look for another source of the bleeding but couldn't find one. She fell asleep in my arms before the bleeding stopped. So I waited until the bleeding stopped and put her in bed. It wasn't until the next morning that I noticed this nasty bloody tissue mess hanging from her mouth. I lifted up her upper lip and discovered what she had really done the last night was rip her upper lip from her face. You can see just a little of the tissue hanging onto her teeth.
You can see where her lip came loose from her face. What you can't see is that there is a big hole up near her nose. We took her to the doctor who thinks it will heal just fine (we have to go back tomorrow) to make sure that she doen't need to get any of the tissue clipped.
YUCK!!!!!

Trip to San Diego

A few weeks ago we took a little trip down to San Diego. We stayed in Solano Beach at a fun little resort about a mile from the beach. We had a great time visting the San Diego mission in Presidio Park, Old Town San Diego, and the Mormon Battlon Museum. (Yes I forgot to take my camera that day so sorry no pictures.) I was very impressed with the Mormon Battlon Museum. It had been several years sense we had been. It has resently been remodeled and was very very interesting. It even caught the interest of all three of our kids. If you haven't been lately I suggest checking it out. The next day we visted the San Diego embarcadero and had a great time looking at the WWII monuments. We say a seal and a ray in the water as well. Then we had a few hours to spend at Solano Beach. We also had time to use the go kart certificates that uncle Randy and aunt Staci gave us for Chritsmas.
WWII Monuments Caden and Jacob next to the statues.
This retired aircraft carrier called the USS Midway is a now a museum. It is so huge that it took three pictures to get the whole aircratf carrier in it.
Karley looking at the statue of the "Mommy and Daddy kissing"
Caden speeding around the track.
Caden before the race began
I had to put this picture in. While we were waiting for our turn to race we checked out the place. After the kid races they get to come over to this platform were they tell them the top three racers. So of course I made the kids jump up their to take their picture and Karley wanted to be at the top. My little Tomboy with babies in hand who wants to do everything her boys are doing. Jacob and Caden discussing racing stratagies (just kidding) There are no pictures of the rest of us racing. Caden had to go with the kid races and Karley wasn't old enough. Jacob on the other hand was too tall for kid races and had to go on the adult track. I was more worried about it then he was. We were racing with a group of people who were serious about their race (one guy in racing grear.) Jacob got knocked around a few times he even had to strear his way out of a fishtail but amazingly he got out safe with out hitting anything or anyone. For a first timer and for being a kid he did great. I was seriously impressed.
Crazy California kids who go to the beach in the dead of winter wearing a bathing suit and actually go in the water.
