Our 13th Anniversary at Temple Square

This year for our 13th anniversary we took the boys to Temple Square.  We looked for the peregrine falcons and enjoyed the beautiful flowers, fountains and several of the other sites.  I love Temple Square, especially in the spring.  I am so very grateful for the wonderful years of marriage I have had with Jared.  He is such a wonderful man and an excellent father to our boys. 

How have I become so blessed with these three darling little boys - Oh how I love them!!!!

 After our fun outing to Temple Square we crossed the street to visit City Creek and rode the train to the Gateway so that we could watch Rio 2 and have a little dinner in the food court.  It wasn't the most fancy anniversary, but it was fun to celebrate where everything began!  Grant loved the train ride.  Brandon loved the movie and Trent, bless him, was a trouper through everything!!

 I am one lucky mother!

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE!!!!!

Additional April Adventures

I just can not take enough pictures of Trent.  I absolutely adore him!

 As soon as the weather turned warm enough for walks we began walking with Brandon to and from kindergarten.  Trent was always a trouper.  Most often he would fall asleep.  He looks so cozy in his warm sleep sack.

 One day walking home we met up with many friends and had an impromptu play date at the park.  Hooray for good friends and warm weather!

 We think that it is pretty cool that between the three of us we each have matching strollers for the 11 children who were in our care that day.  We love going on walks together.  Are our strollers cool or what. ;)

 I took the boys to the library - another thing I wish we did much more often.  They love being able to pick out their own books, and our library is so fun.  Brandon thought this little hole in the wall was perfect for Trent.  I must agree!

 My funny three boys.

 Brandon is a great and very helpful big brother!

 I love my little boys, they really know how to have fun - even if (especially if) it means getting dirty.

 Such a cool dude.

Oh I love this baby of mine to pieces!

Spring Break at the Kamas Pool

The closest decent pool for us is the Kamas pool half an hour away.  So we don't make it over there very often, consequently my boys don't get swimming lessons like I would like them to.  So I decided that we would go to the pool every day of our spring break and get in as much practice as possible.  My boys were thrilled.  Some times we went on our own, but most of the time we were able to go with friends or family which made it even more fun. 

 Trent was a good sport through the whole adventure and slept through most of our swimming, but he did great swimming as well.

 I love this picture and the trust that Grant has for Grandma Julie.  I just wish it wasn't blurry and that this little stunt of Grants hadn't hurt moms shoulder.

 Brandon gained so much confidence in the water, holding his breath, rolling over, floating on his back, etc.  We made a lot of progress.  I sure wish we could go more often and help them make even more improvements.

Grandpa Ron's birthday party at the zoo

For my dad's birthday this year we went as a family to the zoo.  We all love the zoo and we had a wonderful time.   

Trent's first of many pictures with the gorilla.  hehehe ;)

 Brandon found a wonderful crocodile that he wishes he could add to his collection.  That will never happen. :)

 I sure do love this family of mine!

 My brother Scott was at it again with his camera, and boy am I grateful - I just love the pictures he is able to capture of my boys!!
