Catch Up!

We had the Eddington Family reunion in Preston Idaho. We were able to stay over one night and we had so much fun with family, games, and lots of food. Tyler was so excited because we got to sleep in the tent. After the movie that night Tyler told us "lets go camping!" I had never seen him so excited to go to bed before. They both did so well, and we were so thankful!

All of us in the morning, this is about the best picture we got.

Tyler with his metal and popsicle. My grandma sure knows the way to a kids heart!

Jaxon did not want to let go of this ball, he was having so much fun.

We also got to go swimming at the reunion. This is my dad with Jaxon.

This is the only time Tyler was in the water and it only lasted about 30 seconds. The water in the pool is river water so as you can imagine it was cold.

After the swimming and fun activities we started a movie for them and this is what happened. Jaxon never does this that is how tired he was.

Swimming at my parents.

Tyler did not want to share this huge noodle, that is why it isn't in the pool.

This morning the boys were playing and I heard Tyler say, "lets go skiing." This is what I found when I got there. I love their imaginations!!

This morning we also got to go on a tour of krispy kremes for play group for our ward. The boys loved watching the doughnuts in the waterfall (where the icing comes out). It was a perfect outing because it didn't take to long and of course a huge bonus was the yummy free doughnut.

Yes we are still alive!!

Wow! I haven't posted for a long time! Not much as changed around here except the heat and my growing stomach! I am now 32 weeks and I am hoping I can make through the rest of my pregnancy in the heat.

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We spent the weekend at my in-laws to limit our time driving to and from softball games. Our weekend consisted of softball, boating, eating snow cones and yummy treats, watching the Perry parade, playing some games with the boys, watching the fireworks, and sleeping of course! I only had my camera on the 4th which I am sad about because of all the fun we had!

This is how Jaxon felt most of the 4th. He had a long weekend with not enough sleep, apparently he likes his routine!

Every year my mom gets the kids matching shirts for the 4th, but we usually forget to get a picture of them. We got one this year but this is about the best we could do with 6 kids.

Some of the Jacobsen cousins waiting for the parade to start.

Jaxon being his mellow self watching the parade with grandpa.

The Eddington cousins (minus Jaxon) at the fireworks. Sorry dad this is the only picture I got.

Tyler loves flags so of course he loves the 4th of July. We hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July also!

He's 4!!!

How did this happen!! Tyler has grown up so fast, I don't know where the time has gone. We love having him around. He is always asking funny questions like, "Are grandma and grandpa old people!" He has such a fun personality. We love you Tyler and love having you in our life!!

The day he was born.

1st Birthday

2nd Birthday

3rd Birthday

And of course his 4th Birthday. We had some yummy ice cream sundaes (because Tyler doesn't like cake). Spent some time with family and watched the boys have fun outside riding their bikes and playing in the dirt, a boys dream!

Popping Bubbles!!

I think that this speaks for itself. Enjoy, I know we did.

Jaxon is 2!!!!

Yesterday was Jaxon's birthday, we just had a small party with cousins and grandmas and grandpas. It was a lot of fun, and I can't believe he is already 2!

You tell me who is more excited in this picture, the birthday boy or his brother and cousins.

I decided I would be a little bit creative, ok so I got the idea off the internet. We had a dirt cake in a wheelbarrow, the boys all love looking for the worms.

Eating his yummy dirt cake.

Smiling at aunt Heidi!

And of course the boys rode bikes, because we were at my parents.

Leaves in the Spring?

We have these trees in our backyard that like to shed their leaves in the Spring. I finally got some energy to take the boys outside to play in them. They had a blast, and I had fun watching them have fun.

Playing some basketball, his dad is happy about that. Look at that form!!

Last but not least I am so excited that my tulips are finally blooming. I love it!!

Easter Weekend!

We had a great Easter weekend! We started off with baby animal days on Friday. That night my parents decided they wanted to have a sleepover with all of the boys, except Jaxon because I wanted him to get sleep. They always have such a fun time with grandma and grandpa! I think all of them had a lot of fun, and will probably always remember it. Thanks mom and dad!! Saturday we started out with an Easter egg hunt at Perry park, which lasted all of about 2 minutes, but the kids didn't care. Then we got to watch my nephew play soccer, then another easter egg hunt with my parents. Then we took a much needed rest, to await our next party and Easter egg hunt with my grandparents. On Sunday morning the boys got their easter baskets, and were very upset because they didn't have much time to look and play because we have 9 church, so it was definetly a rushed and whiny morning. Later that day we headed to Jason's parents to spend some time there, we went for a great walk, let the kids play at the park, and enjoyed each others company. I love holiday's because I all the great memories we get to make with our kids, and be able to spend time with our wonderful families.

Jaxon had to open every egg before he would put it in his basket.

Tyler at my mom and dad's. All 5 boys baskets looked like his at the end. Thanks mom and dad!

Resting after church.

More resting.

Also on Monday Jason had the day off so we went to the zoo. We had so much fun spending some time with them, and the boys had fun spending time with daddy.

Baby Animal Days!!

Today we got to go to Logan to Baby Animal Days. The boys had so much fun!! Tyler surprised me because I didn't really think that he would touch the animals, but he liked the little ones. I couldn't get him to touch a sheep, cow, goat, or horse. Except for when he rode the horse, let me tell you that was a shock, because I really thought he would get scared at the last moment, but he did so good. I am so glad he is getting old enough to do these fun things with.

Jaxon and Tyler with the bunny. Jaxon did hold it but was to wiggly to get a picture of him with it.

Tyler holding the bunny and looking so grown up.

This was the shocker, he got right up there and had so much fun.

Jaxon and mommy on the wagon ride, he was so good and mellow the whole time, he didn't mind sitting in the stroller. Especially once he got a ballon. He was content the rest of the time, I have had to pry it from his hands a few times today, which he threw big tantrums over. He must almost be 2!!!

See what I mean!!!
