Eclipse 2012

May 20th was a solar eclipse, so we went out and got the special glasses to view the eclipse.

The only way I could get a picture was to filter the camera lense with the glasses.  Was

alot of fun to watch and we had great seats- just accross the street on a hill!

 

Rick's Preschool

 

After we moved back to Utah, I enrolled Rick into the Washington City Community

Center Smaller Scholars Preschool program (mouthful!)

Along with Preschool he gets to go to gymnastics, karate, rock wall, swim days,

and field trips.  He really enjoys going to school. Here are some

of the things he got to do this year!

Field Trip to the Animal Museum

 

 

On this day, he got to bring his bike to school and they had the parking lot

set up to look like a small city with a grocery store, car wash, school, and they ride

around on their bikes and pretend to play and go around the community.  Rick loved

bringing his bike to school!

 

Field Trip to the Fire Station!  the same station that daddy was a volunteer

Fire Fighter years earlier, Rick was soooo excited he wore his fireman costume!

He got to spray the hose from the brush truck.

Graduation Day!!

Kids Iron Man Fun Run

Getting ready for the St. George Iron Man Kids Fun Run!  A great way to stay active and

community support!  Rick ran the kids 200M and Emma ran the 1 mile.  At the finish line

they each got an iron man kids medal!

 

WDW!!! round 2

On April 19-23 Nick just had to go to Disney World for a company training and

I got to go with him (thats just the kind of sacrifice a wife makes!) and we left the kids

with grandma and grandpa.  It was such a great, fun and relaxing weekend with Nick.  We

stayed at the Yaght Club in the Epcot resort area.  So Beautiful!  While Nick attended meetings,

I soaked up some sun and walked the boardwalk and not one worry about where the kids are and

if they are entertained.  We went on a boat ride around the marina, enjoyed the night club dinner

party at Epcot with his co-workers and fireworks shows.  And it was especially nice to go

swimming and enjoy the resort pool with no kids, yes I really enjoyed having no kids around,

I love my kids, but really needed this break and spend time with my man!

 

Easter 2012

Easter this year started off with a Duckie Drop at the local pool, Both kids won prizes.

We then headed to San Diego to visit Heather and the family and celebrate Easter and lil' Stella's 2nd Birthday.

 Stella had a teddy bear tea party!  The guests sipped on tea (punch) and a gorgeous

fruit bouquet that Trav made, and each guest got a build a bear kit to make their own

teddy bear!

 Stella made a princess bear, while brother Jackson made a Baseball bear

 Look at all those cute bears!  Emma made a karate bear

We gave Stella a princess tea cart and set and more sand toys for the beach!

Just love that cute little Stella!  Happy 2nd Birthday!

While I was helping out with the Birthday Party, Nick took Rick over the Midway Battleship Carrier.  They had so much FUN!  Nick really enjoyed taking his boy and spending that time with him, it was the highlight of the trip for him.

After the Party we met up with Nick and Rick at Mission Bay.  We rode a few of the rides on the beach, some shopping, played on the playground, the water and had fun just hanging out.

I love that Man of Mine!
