Luke's Big Boy Bed

We have been working on refinishing Luke bed for over a year now. He has been sleeping on a toddler mattress on the ground. Now he is in a big bed. He loves it. He would ask me to paint it and finish it for him. I Painted it all. It was alot of work but I'm glad that it is done now!!! He are some pictures from last year sanding it.

Joseph's 1st haircut!!

After:

Before:



Joseph did very well during his haircut! He did great. He went from my little baby to my big boy! He looked so different after the haircut. I just couldn't handle his hair anymore, it was out of control! But he looked so cute with all his hair. I missed it at first and it was weird looking at him. But now it is normal. So cute!

Arches and Canyonlands!!

We went to Moab for Spring break with our good friends the Guzman's. We had a blast and can't wait to go back!! It was frezzing the first night. It was very cold at night, but great during the day. WE even got sunburned!! The first ngiht Joseph and Lydia ended up in bed with us becasue they were cold. The next two night we put more clothes on the kids and they slept all night long. Joseph still ended up in bed with us every night. He had one really hard night. But we made it and loved it.

We spent 2 days hiking and the kids did GREAT. I didn't think that they would do as good as they did, but they did awesome!!! They loved it. We are going to be doing lots more hiking together. Jason had Joseph in the backpack, the whole time he was in there he was great never made a sound. He just loved being right there with Jason and being able to see everything. What a great boy!! If you notice Joseph did get his Haircut, but I can't find the pictures. I don't know what happened to them. Hopefully Jason does, so then I can do a post for it!!!

We had so much fun being together as a family! Jason has been working lots of long hours and it was very nice to get away and just hang out as a family and with the Guzman's!! thanks for inviting us. We loved it! Can't wait to go camping again and hiking!!
