Easter Morning

Easter morning P came into our room and we told him that the Easter Bunny had come and left him some eggs to find. When we walked out to the living room he was really excited to find the eggs, then all of a sudden he looked at the fireplace and found his easter basket. The Easter Bunny gave P a new train, Bertie the bus and Harold the Helicopter. He also got the elefun game. He had to bring it down to grandma and grandpa's to show them.The eggs were filled with candy, so every egg had to be opened

immediately so P could get the candy out.

A perfect hiding place!

P on the egg hunt, sorry it's sideways I don't know why it does that!

Birdie House

We bought this bunny house at Walmart, it's just like a gingerbread house but for Easter. So a couple days before Easter we decide to make it, so you have to put the walls and roof on and then let it set, or once you put the candy on, you run the risk of it collapsing. When P woke up I told him that we were going to make the bunny house. So I go to get everything set up and I come into the dining room to find P up on the table eating the roof off the bunny house. Love and I laughed so hard. We had a fun time decorating it with P. P kept telling us it was a birdie house and he would sing a little song that they sing on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while Goofy is trying to build a bird house. He has such a cute personality! We kept the birdie house for about a week, and P wanted to sleep with it every night, finally after Easter we threw it away, but he still asks us where the birdie house is and we tell him the Easter Bunny took it with him, that we made it for him.P taking a bite out of the roof

Dyeing Easter Eggs

We got together at my parents house to dye easter eggs with the cousins. All the kids were there except n/n #1. We missed you!Pr wanted to put all his eggs into this color bowl, take a look at his hands.

#11 hanging out in the high chair watching all the action.

#9 would tell Grandpa what color she wanted her eggs to be,

and then grandpa would have to dye them.

n/n #2 finding out how the glitter paint works.

P wanted to eat the eggs and drink the dye.

n/n #4 trying to decide on a color.

n/n #3 doing a double colored egg.

Use your fork. . .

P was trying so hard to get the corn to stay on his fork, but every time he would bring it up to is mouth all the corn would have fallen off of it, so he said heck with the fork, I'll just eat it right off the plate. Love and I get such a kick out of the things he comes up with!

Boys will be boys

I thought this was such a funny thing that P would do. He would want to watch this show(Phineas and Ferb) and at the end of the show, Ferb (with the green hair) would burp and P would laugh so hard, he thought it was hilarious! Which then Love and I thought was hilarious! So we got it on video.

30th Birthday

For my 30th birthday, my sister and mom planned this great day for me. We started off at the Grand America Hotel for their breakfast buffett which is to die for!! And then we went to a taping of Good Things Utah. The guests that day were the 5 Browns. If you have never heard of them they are 5 siblings from Alpine, Utah who all went to Julliard and are amazing pianists. It was such a fun day! Thanks Rachael and Mom!!:)The girls at the Grand America (the flowers behind us are real and smelled unbelievale)!

Another train expo

For those of you who are sick of hearing about trains, you might want to skip the next couple of posts!!! :)

I took P to another train expo and this one had a train that you could ride in. P had fun at first and then he saw me and wanted to get out because he thought he was leaving me.

Treehouse Museum

P  and I went to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. We had such a fun time, if you've never been there, it's a great place to take kids. It's an interactive museum. Preston's favorite spot was the music room.Here P is playing the cowbell

P playing the xylophone.

Bathtub toys

P got these bathtub squirters and laughed so hard when we filled them up with water and squirted him with them. There was a video I took that was cuter than this one, but it showed to much (if you know what I mean)!

Just a typical day

This is what our day consists of. . .We wake up, play trains, watch a train video, take a nap, wake up, play trains, watch a train video and go to bed. P gets trains when he listens and obeys and does what he is asked to do. He is such a good boy, he has well over 30 trains and he can name each of them and he knows if one of them is missing. He used to have to sleep with all of them, but now they sleep in their special "bed" downstairs.
