The Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point

April 11, 2008

Ethan loved his first real experience at the dinosaur museum! At first he didn't want to go because "all they are are bones!" But he changed his mind once we got there, he thought it was cool! He is in a huge dinosaur phase right now.

Do you think Ethan is having a good time?

Digging in the sand and playing with dinosaurs

Alec liked it too! (ok so he had no idea what was going on)

Attempting to get a cute picture by the shark, I love temper tantrums!!

Discovering dinosaur bones!

Thanks Heather for letting us come and use your discount! :)

Girls Night Out

I went out with my sisters and mom last Saturday during the priesthood session of conference. We ate at Pizza Factory and then went (at my mom's request) to ladies night at deseret book. It was so crowded but it was worth it because I got a few kids books on sale for a dollar! And everything else for 20% off. Yeah!
Ethan trying to sing and play drums at dinner, he's crazy!

Alec just chilling with grandma



This one is for my Dad, he taught Ethan how to show his food and think its funny! Not so funny when you're out at a restaurant!

Alec teething!

- he would rather chew on his hands then a teething ring!

Easter 2008

We started out our easter fun on friday March 21st with an easter egg hunt at Rock Canyon Park with friends. To start out they had a fun pinata!

Then an easter egg hunt, which Ethan was throwing a fit finding eggs because I made the mistake of showing him the eggs that we brought to hide and they were his favorite dinosaur shaped eggs so as we started he was crying saying "They are taking all of my eggs!" Luckily we found a couple of the dinosaur ones so he calmed down. Wow I really love 3 year olds! :)

Jessica Martin and I tried to stage a kiss from our kids like last year and it went something like this-

Lily was loving it but Ethan wasn't too fond of the idea!

Alec having fun in his car seat-

Me, Ethan, Jess and Lily

Lily and Ethan were so happy after they found lots of fun candy in their eggs!

We then had a surprise visit from the easter bunny!( My friend Lisa Ramey all dressed up!) Its funny now when people ask Ethan about the easter bunny he says, "Yea its Conli's mom Lisa, thats who the easter bunny is!" Thanks Lis- You're awesome!!

Dipidee

After the Easter Egg Hunt we went to Dipidee in American Fork, we bought yummy cupcakes and cookies!

Jess and I very happy after our yummy dessert!

Easter dinner on Sunday with the Hart's
We went to dinner on Sunday at Brad and Alisse's house. We had a fun filled evening with dinner, easter presents, and a little game of catch phrase!

Grandma and Grandpa Hart with Tyler and Alec. They are only one month apart!

Can you tell we love holidays! We try and stretch them out as long as possible! Happy Easter!!

Making Cookies-

Ethan loves making Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies!

His favorite part of course is licking off the dough

He is our cookie monster- Nothing makes him happier!

Going to the Dentist-

Ethan has been into my dental office before but this is the first time that he had his teeth cleaned. He pretty much cried through the whole thing, this of course is the before picture! I wasn't able to get the after! After I said, "See that wasn't that bad!" He said "mom lets never ever do that again!"

I just laugh at this picture, his face is so scared, he acts like he is getting tortured! Come on its just an x-ray! (I'm such a mean mom) :)

Our Super Star-

Ok so I was having way too much fun with the star glasses!

Enjoying being outside-

First Foods and Rolling Over-

We fed Alec rice cereal for the first time and he wasn't loving it! He eats so much formula (8 oz per feeding) and he sometimes wants more!! So we know that he needs more food but my doctor says to wait on other solids. We have one more month. Any suggestions for making rice cereal more appealing?

Alec is almost rolling over, he can't get his upper half over yet, but he is almost there! This is weird for Josh and I because Ethan didn't roll over until 7 months old, but I guess he was a chubalub!

So I left Ethan for one second and came back to this big bubble bath. He dumped a full bottle of baby body wash into the tub!! I couldn't help but laugh! Little stinker!
