Our Family...

Ok, anyone that knows Easton knows that since the day he was born his hair has NEVER laid flat!  So normally we keep his hair buzzed.  Although, a while ago we were a bit curious to see how long his hair would get before laying flat, so we let it grow out.  The only time it laid flat was right after he had a bath!  And yesterday I just couldn't take it anymore!!  So I told Ace it was hopeless to wait for this crazy hair with FOUR calicks to lay flat...well, anyway let's just let the pictures speak for themselves...

Easton has a little Doodle Pro board that sticks on our fridge, and sometimes I draw pictures for him and he likes to guess what they are.  The other day I was on the phone, and started doodling on it--this is what I drew:

When Easton saw it, he got very excited and exclaimed "Grandma Leelee!!" So, what do you think?? Am I the next da Vinci...

Well, it was a little bitter-sweet...like it always is...I really enjoy teaching and it has been such a great experience running a preschool on my own, but on the other hand, I am really excited about the spare time I am going to have!  These kids were so fun, and I learned a TON about doing a preschool by myself!  Thanks to all of the parents (and kids) for making it such a fun year!!

Our last day was really fun! We had a parade! (Up at school I heard about another class doing a parade for their kids and it sounded so fun, but I never got a chance to actually see a lesson plan or see anybody do a parade day and I thought it would be a fun way to end the year!)  The week before was spent preparing for our parade.  Since this was their last "project" I let them decide everything-from what instruments to make to how to make/decorate our floats.  Then on the day of the parade we invited the parents to come to the park near my house and watch the parade and then have a picnic!  All of the kids looked so cute in their costumes pulling the floats!  It was a fun way to end the year!

This last weekend we got to go down to California to see my family!  We stayed with my Aunt Allie and Uncle Russ and had tons of fun!  We had my family and the Sloan's there---it was quite the full house!  My brother, Jesse took his endowments out at the Newport Beach Temple...it was really great to be there for that and the temple was beautiful!!  It was also my sister's birthday while we were there and the rest of the time we just relaxed at the beach...what a great trip!

These are some of the fun things we did in April.. you can click on any of these pictures to see more!

We went to the Dinosaur Park with Ruby.  We had a lot of fun only bummer was that they haven't turned the water part on yet (Easton's favorite part) so we will be going back!

Aiden turned two!  So we got to go to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate!  They both had a ball trying out all of the rides, and eating yummy pizza!

We have also been going to some of the Las Vegas 51's baseball games!  Our neighbors got VIP tickets to some the games--we were sitting in the front row right behind the catcher!  A lady even came and cleaned off our seats before we sat down...needless to say, we felt pretty special!

Here is Easton's imitation of  whistling...

Easton has been obsessed with bugs lately...EVERYTHING is a bug: crumbs, rocks, and any other type of speck on the floor!  So when I saw this little bug in our house, I ran an grabbed my camera then showed Easton!  We have concluded he likes bugs from a distance...or just crumbs pretending to be bugs!

This is one of Easton's favorite thing say recently! Whenever he thinks something is funny he says "Oh man, that's funny!" Most of the time it is because he thinks he is funny, but he does say it every time he laughs at something! 

The other day he said it and I said, "Yeah, you're funny"
he said, "Easton's funny",
then I said, "is Daddy funny?"
he said, "Yeah, Daddy funny"
I said, "is Penny funny?"
he said, "Yeah, Penny funny"
I said, "Is mommy funny?"
he said, "No"

So apparently I am the only one who is not funny in our family!!  It did make me feel better though when I tried to get him to do again for Ace when he got home... and he said I was funny and Daddy wasn't funny....so there!!

So here are the pictures from our Easter Egg Hunt with our ward!  It was really fun because Mandy, James, & Corbin were in town, and our friends Adam & Julia and their two kids, Brooklyn & Jake, so we all went together!  I think all of the kids had a really great time, although, it did get a bit intense during the actual hunt (notice Ace in the video grabbing Easton to make sure he gets some eggs)!!!
