Blue Angels

The Blue Angels U.S. Navy air team was in St. George over the weekend. They only do about 30 of these shows around the world per year and they have hundreds of applicants, so it was a pretty big thing for St. George. They figured there would be about 30,000 people attending many traveling to see it from far away places. We thought about buying tickets but in the end decided just to drive out to one of the gravel pits by Landon's work that is right by the airport to watch. Some of my family came out and we had a little picnic. The kids enjoyed playing on the dirt piles as much as anything. We couldn't see everything going on for the first half, which was some older WWII planes and stuff, but once the blue angels took to the sky we could see everything they were doing. It was pretty awesome to see. They preformed for about an hour straight and the kids were enthralled the whole time they were in the air.

Contacts

So on Friday Chloe got a perm and Tanner got contacts. Yep apparently he is going to be playing catcher part of the time in little league and he can't throw off his helmet with glasses on. So we had him fitted for contacts on Friday. He is pretty excited about them. He can't quite get them in by himself yet but he is getting pretty good at getting them out on his own. He probably won't wear them all the time at least not yet, but will probably wear them at least for baseball and whenever else he feels like it. I love the way when he has contacts in that you can see the blue color of his eyes so much better.

Perm

Chloe has really been wanting a perm for awhile. We have debated about it and even had an appointment made at one point that we canceled. There were so many factors to consider including the price of one and also whether or not she could sit still long enough. Then I had a light bulb moment and remembered that my mom used to give us perms. So I asked if she thought she could give one to Chloe and she said sure! We were able to round up some perm rods and I was able to buy a perm for $5.23 at Wal-Mart. Grandma came over Friday afternoon and went to work. Chloe was so excited that even when my mom tried to play a joke on her and tell her she had accidentally cut off one of the rods she just smiled at her. The last five minutes of waiting were the hardest and she started to get a little fussy on us, but at last it was over and the end result is so worth it. When she looked in the mirror she just smiled. It looks so cute on her plus it should be super easy to take care of. Thanks Grandma Tawny :)

Spring Break

This past week has been spring break for both the kids and myself. We didn't really go anywhere but we did a lot right here at home. We went hiking twice, out to eat twice, went to Jumping Jacks, went to Fiesta Fun, had a neighborhood BBQ, and played at the park for hours and hours on end. What we didn't do sleep in or get much cleaning or homework done-oh well I guess. We had tons of fun hanging out with our friends and family. I wish I could say that I managed to get pictures at every activity, but I didn't. Here are a few pictures of some of our adventures...

Brenda Neuberger Design Team March Project

I have been invited to be a part of the Brenda Neuberger Design team. My incentive is that I get free digital scrapbooking products, plus I hoping it will help me get out of the slump I have been in with getting my photos scrapbooked. Oh yeah and it's my sister in law so how could I say no. Really though I am excited. We have to do one project a month. Here is my layout for March.

Really???

I guess it was only inevitable that something like this would happen-I mean with the two baseball fanatics we have living here and the amount of hours they spend throwing or hitting a baseball right? But Really? Did it have to happen the same weekend we just got done spending $500 to get Landon's truck back up and running. What are the chances. Such is life I guess.

Puppy Teeth

Did you know that puppies lose teeth just like little kids? Well they do, but they lose them a lot faster and a lot closer together. In the last week our puppy Beckett has lost about 5 of his puppy teeth. We will be walking along and find one on the floor or there will be one stuck in something he is chewing on. Chloe was so intrigued with his teeth that she decided she would take on in for show and tell on Friday. I wasn't to sure about the idea but I let her take it. I happened to be in her class when she was showing off the puppy tooth and it was a big hit. All the kids especially the boys were like "cool" or "that is so awesome"-lol. They had been learning about teeth in class so they were also quick to identify that is was probably a bicuspid.
