It's finally Spring!!!!

Crazy ball pit hair!!!
Wahoo! Playing in the ball pit!!!


This weekend was absolutely beautiful! Mason had a soccer game on Saturday and the weather was wonderful. When we got home, we just played outside all day. We even put up the ball pit. On Sunday, Bruce went for his bike ride, and I worked in the yard. When he got home, I took Jordan and Mason on a bike ride. Well, I rode five miles, they played on the dirt hills! At least I got a good workout. Let's hope this weather keeps up.......

Biking.....

Jon has introduced Bruce to a new addiction.....Biking! Every Sunday they bike around the trails on the East bench of Ogden. It's been great for Bruce, he loves it! He bought a new bike, and a new trailer for Emma Jayne. Mason got a new bike and helmet for his birthday, so we've all been biking (except for Colter, he refuses to wear a helmet, and that's the rule). I've been using Justine's old bike. She got it when she was probably eight, so it's not very comfortable. Maybe a new bike will be my Mother's day gift.....We've been having a great time! We hook Emma up to the bikes and off we go...

Waiting for a ticket.....Mason and his "Link" shirt



On March 27th I took the boys to Video games Live. Grandma Sue gave us two tickets that she and Mardee wouldn't be using. I planned on just taking Mason because I didn't think Colter would be interested, but he decided that he really wanted to go. Of course it was sold out, so we arrived early to see if any would come available. At the last minute, one did and we were in! It was a pretty good show. It was kind of interesting to see the Utah symphony playing video game music! We had a great time.....On a side note, Mason picked up a few posters and a "Link" T-shirt (his favorite part of the show was the Legend of Zelda music). One of the posters was for a game called "Pikmin 2", so of course he wanted the game. We searched all over and finally found that the only place you could find it was on ebay and it was almost $100!!!! Needless to say we settled on Pikmin one for thirty dollars!
