Everythings fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out.

This is the story we are telling everyone and we are sticking to it. ;D

No for reals. Regan and Jaden were racing each other around the house and then Jaden slipped on the wood floor right into the corner of our kitchen cabinets. He started crying and I was in the other room so I came in and his eye was already swollen within seconds. It was horrible. If it had split open we would have had a mess. I got him some ice and he stayed up with me for awhile when he finally went to bed he took the ice with him, when I went to check on him later he was asleep with the ice pack still held firmly on his face.

He was so brave about it and such a cutie even with a black eye.

Josh turns 17

As I mentioned in an earlier post we have one of our nephews living with is from Seattle. His birthday was March 23 on Easter Sunday. He was bit bummed that he had to share his big day with the Easter Bunny but he was pretty good about it.
A little bit about Josh is he loves Basketball. We have found it is one of his favorite sports he can eat sleep and drink Basket ball
Another thing he loves more that life is watching ESPN' s Sports Center.
Josh it super funny. He makes us laugh all the time. He has one one of those witty Sense of humors.
He loves movies. especially anything ultra gay and with Amanda Bines in it. J/K I made him watch "She's the Man" with Amanda Bines and after he said "my gay stock just went up about 10 points." He loves action movies and especially Scary movies. He has to watch them alone.
He loves Four Wheeling. We did that in St. George and he had a blast.
He loves his Cousins. Mostly he tolerates the younger ones but he has great relationships with the ones his own age.
When he moved to Utah he gave up soda for a few weeks and lost about 13 lbs.
My cousin Staci and I made him a basket ball cake for his big day. Staci is an amazing Cake maker.
Here is Josh at his birthday party with his all his best friends. HAHA He was a good sport about having all the kids 10 and under share in his big day. He let the kids help blow or should I say spit the candles out. We made home made pizza one of his favorites. What a great opportunity we have to have Josh with us. We sure love him.

St. George

One of the days we were in St. George for Easter we went hiking around the Red Cliffs area. It is a red rock canyon with a small stream running down. Along the way the dis in the rock form pools of water. With the snow run off feeding most of them they were freezing cold but it did not stop some kids from swimming in them.

Easter 2008

My mom made the kids these awesome capes. The boys got superman ones and Regan's is a princess cape. So cute the kids love them.

We then went down to St. George for the Easter Weekend with my cousin Staci and her family. My dad was up in Salt Lake so their home was free in St. George. We had such a good time. We left the snow behind and had 70 degree weather for 5 days. The kids had so much fun with their cousins and the best part is the Easter bunny still found them.

Josh can't contain his enthusiasm.
