10 Year Anniversary Getaway

The kids have been having lots of fun at the park


 Nice frog hat Nixon
 Mason has decided he loves eating apples

All that was left of the apple
 Right before bed we have lots of fun with Mason. He has lots of energy to burn off and loves to run around
We also take selfies 

 Waiting for the dentist
 Mason got these glasses from the dentist and looks adorable in them



 One evening I was not watching Mason for a few minutes and it sounded too quiet. I found him covered in these colorful dot stickers that he placed all over his shirt
The kids were so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa Bullock last week 
 Mason couldn't wait to get dressed and show them a good time
 They did some reading together

 Mason was excited to party
 Grandpa helped Nixon build a drone
 Grandma and Grandpa got to take Lyza to the bus on school days
 Nixon was proud of this creation
 They played at the big park 


 They watched some movies together
 They played at the Kroc Center

 They played at our park
And down by the water


 And of course...they played Just Dance
Meanwhile, Kim and I had a wonderful vacation in the Palm Springs area for our 10 year anniversary. Here are some of the highlights
That's all for now. Take care.

Spring is Back!

Lyza is so funny to watch when she is talking on the phone. She always paces, and usually in circles
Mason loves to sway back and forth (probably from being left in his jumper too much). But when he has his blanket on his head it is even more silly
They are cute when they are playing together
 Nixon loves this giant toonie he got from his grandparents
 We had a family home evening lesson that talked about sharing the gospel with others and talked about the light of Christ. So for an activity we played around in the dark with a mirror and a flashlight

 I don't always eat fruit loops, but when I do, I eat them out of a frying pan
 This monkey really wants to learn how to do a hand stand
 I love watching Nixon dancing in his ninja costume
 Mason likes to point out things like ears and noses
Mason likes playing with these Batman foam toys in the bath

 I don't know how to describe this video...
Isn't Mason looking sharp with his new haircut?
 Spider-man leading the dance crew
 Nixon was so happy to get this card in the mail from his Aunt Terry
 Last Saturday I got to take the kids to Home Depot and make periscopes

I think those boots are a little big on you Mason
 Nixon wasn't too happy to be getting shots at the doctor's
 Meanwhile Lyza was at a birthday party at the fire station
 I was commissioned to make a large fancy "L" for Kim as a decoration for Lyza's room
This is what the L eventually turned into
 Nice slipper Mason 
 It was fun working on this giant puzzle with the kids last week before church
 Mason loved playing with these felt figures during sacrament
 Kim had to take brownies to a primary activity Sunday night. This is what Nixon and Lyza left her with...
 He takes his reading so seriously some times
 For the treat for our FHE last week we made yogurt parfaits
 Nixon approved
 He was excited to wear this new Spider-man shirt
 When Nixon and Lyza dusted off their scooters Nixon was reunited with this Spider-man that was left in the pouch of his scooter all winter 


 Kim has some fun mommy time with Lyza...see how Lyza is holding the cards like a big kid!
 Mason is laying a balloon...
 The boys loved their play dough time
 Lyza had a crazy sock day at school so Kim let her borrow a pair of my work socks and also tied one in her hair. 
 If Kim ever tries to get some rest these kids always seem to end out in bed with her
 Mason is SOOO happy to be outside 
 The kids helped Kim cut out a bunch of small dinosaur shapes with the Silhouette 
 Then Kim started placing them on Lyza's wall
 Lyza helped too
 Lyza's room is now finally all decorated. Here are the final results


 Nixon got a new bike because the back tire on his old bike got worn all the way through. He was happy to try out his new bike yesterday (the snow is almost gone!)
 Mason wanted to get one last snow shoveling session in
 Nixon helped me clean out the garage yesterday. He loves using the shop vac
 What are you serving Mason?
I am going to leave you with a frog
Take care and enjoy the warmer weather (unless you live in Canada, then just keep dreaming ;)
