Boston's Birthday

We had a lot of fun at Boston's Birthday Party. Bridget is amazing for throwing such a fun party with a baby only a couple weeks old! Everyone had so much fun! We got to play, eat good food, and see family. It was a good time. And Brett had fun going for a ride in Bridger's 'borrowed' Jeep after they practically dismantled it. It was a nice one I have to admit. I tried to get a picture of them as they came back from their ride but it turns out you have to turn the camera on for it to work! :)

Children's Gardens

It had been a while since we went over to Thanksgiving Point because we've been really busy, so I wanted to take the kids since it was the last week of school. We went to the Children's Discovery Garden (inspired by Lauri pointing out the new part) only to be told my membership had expired. Guess it's time to renew! The girl was nice and let us in anyway. They had a lot of fun and surprisingly there were only a few other people there. I forgot how much the kids love it there. Lukie loved following her brothers around and being one of 'the boys.'

Memorial Day

Car Show With Cousins

We had a fun weekend with the Pedersen side of the family at the car show and swap meet. There was some cool stuff and cool cars. We had fun picking our favorite cars. I love seeing all of the old stuff at the swap meets. My favorites are the old pop bottles, and the ride on toys for kids (we've got to get one before the kids are too big!). The kids all had fun with their cousins, and thank Heavens Aunt Emily remembered snacks and water! It was a really fun weekend, thanks for coming guys!

Mud!!

Random Sampler II

Just some pictures of more happenings around our house. We visited Grandma Lu on Mother's Day, we made yet another visit to farm country, Clay learned how to ride without training wheels!, and Luka loves swinging with he brothers.

My Latest Project

My knotty aulder cabinets in my house are a little on the plain side. I decided to do a little fixing up in the master bath. I forgot to take a before picture so the before (bottom) is the hall bath which looks just like the master bath used to. The top picture is the finished product. I sanded the cabinets down re-stained them and re-varnished them. I think they turned out pretty okay for someone who doesn't have clue what they are doing :). (Of course it's hard to tell in the pictures, but well hey, it took forever so I had to post it)

My Princess

Random Sampler

Just some stuff from life at the Pedersen's. First,I looked out the window yesterday and my first thought was, "Who's animal is in our yard now?" Turns out it was a large rock chuck looking thing that has probably been displaced by the new road they are building by us. It kept me and the boys entertained for a while as we ran from window to window watching it roam the yard. Clay dressed up as a builder like in the new primary song, 'I Am a Builder.' If you haven't heard the new primary song let me tell you, it is sure to make the Primary Favorites Top 10 list. The kids love it. Someone has a child marketing degree I'm telling ya. And last for this post, Luka tried some of Mommy's make-up - isn't she booootiful1?

Easter and a Really Long Monday

We had quite an Easter weekend. We were able to spend the weekend at Brett's parents in Vernal (thanks). We got to see the whole family and visit with Brett's Grandparents too. It was nice to have plenty of time and not feel rushed. The boys had tons of funat the Naples egg hunt and at Grandma's egg hunt (and of course at their cousins were they never want to leave). Monday was our adventure day. We started out in Green River and headed for Goblin Valley first thing. It was really fun to climb and run around. After a couple hours and some lunch we headed off. We decided to take the scenic way home and try to go the back way as much as possible. We explored dirt roads through the San Rafael Swell and Castle Country north. There were only a handful of people that we saw. We got to find some pictographs and petroglyphs, and also got lucky and were able to follow some directions to a really cool dinosaur track. We drove north through Huntington Canyon and saw the Huntington Power Plant (really cool). There was an enormous amount of snow in the canyon. The banks on the side of the road were taller than the car. We got out and the boys threw snowballs, Brett built a snowman and it was amazing to see so much snow. We also saw some people Kite-boarding down a hill and Brett was a little too excited about that (I think he really wants to try it now). Anyways, unfortunately after we passed through Fountain Green we found out that the Nebo Loop was closed still and so we had to head to Nephi and hop on the freeway, but it was a really long, fun day exploring the middle of the state.
