Random acts of cuteness...

Just some fun pictures of different happenings at Grandma's house!  Like Jacob enjoying his green smoothie!




 David helping at the eagle project...
 Jacob and his stickers...

 Modeling the pajamas and pillows grandma made...the floor pillow was a hit, and they each got their own little pillow too...David's is a monkey pillow and Jacob's is a puppy pillow.  We had fun sewing such cute projects!



 Uncle Clark's "real" monster truck!

 And playing Mario Cart with Uncle Clif...

 Jugheads!  Grandpa uses these milk jugs on his tomato plants in the garden, but they double as very fancy hats!
 Smart person that invented this kind of grocery cart!
 Do you want fries with that?
 In-N-Out has great stickers for cute little customers!
This almost wraps up our visit...two more posts to come!

Easter weekend...

Friday after our drive up to the lake, we decided we better get those Easter eggs dyed!  After all, our Easter Bunny comes on Saturday...so David and his mommy made some really pretty eggs!


 Jacob was happy to just play with Grandma's "candles" at the table...
 He stacks the little battery operated votives and turns them off and on...
 Then Saturday morning...there were Easter baskets freshly delivered from the Easter Bunny!  And coincidentally, Uncle Clif arrived late Friday night from BYU-Idaho.  (He is sleeping on the couch while the boys open their baskets) What fun!

 And of course it isn't complete without an Easter Egg hunt!  (Please excuse the state of my back yard...there is work to be done there!)



 Jacob and David did a great job finding all the eggs!
 Ashley brought some of the eggs that you break on your head and all this confetti comes out!  David broke one on her head...
 ...and on Jacob's head...
 ...and he even got Uncle Clif!
 Amanda made us a yummy Cafe Rio pork dinner...complete with salad, dressing, lime rice and guacamole.  Everyone loved it!

Then on Sunday we got ready for church...the boys looking very handsome in their Easter clothes!
 Jacob didn't want to smile, but doesn't he look so sweet?
 Mommy looked great too!

 We had barbecued tri tip and Amanda made the cutest little carrots out of our silverware and napkins...love having her around to do the special little things!
 And the day would not be complete without a visit with Daddy!  Isn't technology wonderful?
Happy Easter 2012!  We love this day to remember our Savior and all that He did for us...we are truly blessed!

Shaver...snow?

On Friday, Grandpa had the day off work so we decided to drive up to Shaver lake and hopefully find some snow to play in.  (lots of pictures alert...) We borrowed coats, gloves and boots for the grandsons and headed up the road.  We were sad to see that there was hardly any snow!  And what little there was, was hard and frozen!  It was still a beautiful day and we hiked around a bit and tried to make a few snowballs!
 David liked throwing rocks into the lake.  Grandpa skipped a few rocks in there too, that was fun to watch...
 Jacob loved walking around and finding rocks...he sat on the log next to me and I asked him where Grandma was...that's why he's pointing at me!
 It was beautiful, but COLD...Jacob was in a friendly mood! 
 And of course David was having a great time!
 Jacob didn't like being down on the snow...so wanted to be held when we were anywhere near a patch of it...
 Jacob not wanting in the snow...David had fun checking out every inch of it...
 It was more fun when they found giant pinecones!
 David managed to scrape up a couple of snowballs and throw them at the rocks and trees (Grandpa helped scrape them up...that snow was HARD)...
 Cheese! 
 My sweet babies!  Love those red cheeks!  Grandma can't kiss them enough!
 Grandpa and David tried to make snow angels...the snow wouldn't even MOVE...but it was fun trying!
 A nice picture of MY angel...
 David is King of the Rock!!
 Walking back to have our lunch...Dave and David... love these guys!
 We ate lunch in the car...Jacob LOVES to drive Grandpa's car!  He makes sound effects too!
 David...too cute for words!!
It was a fun morning even though there wasn't snow to play in.  We enjoyed the drive and just being together!  Wish the rest of the family could have been with us!  Thanks Grandpa for taking us to the lake!
