Our little Chunk!

Maya has been nothing like Mason from day one. She's very relaxed and easy going. She is also about twice the size of Mason was when he was her age. At her 2 month check up yesterday she was in the 90 percentile for weight! That's a bit different from our little boy that was at one point in the 7th percentile! I admit, I do love kissing her chubby cheeks!

Real Men Wear Pearls...,

Mason is now tall enough to reach my jewelry box..., thus meaning it's now time for me to move my jewelry box. I found him this morning with pearls wrapped around his neck and arms. You just gotta love this kid!

Hogle Zoo

We've had a family zoo membership since last August and this is the kids first trip. Money well spent! We took their cousin Hannah with us since it was during her spring break. And since it was during spring break, the zoo was PACKED! Kids, moms and strollers everywhere. Mason loved seeing all the animals though and was talking about the 'elefantes' well after we left the zoo. As you can see, Maya thoroughly enjoyed her trip to the zoo!

Props to Tracy Aviary

I have lived in Utah for close to 12 years now and I have never been to Tracy Aviary. Let me start by saying.., it's really nothing special and actually a bit run down. With that in mind, I think it could be my new favorite place to take my son. It is perfect for young kids who like to run off on their own. All the walk ways are fenced in and so a rambunctious 2 year can run with out his Momma fearing he'll fall in the water. Seriously though, Mason loved this placed. Mason picked our course and Maya and I followed behind him. It was mostly shaded and had very few people there. Kid under 3 are free and adults are only $5.

If you haven't been to Tracy Aviary.., check it out.

I FLY

If you're every in Ogden and under 220 lbs, I highly recommend this.., It was awesome! Do people still say awesome? Anyway, my nephew Ethan turned 14 during his trip to Utah and he wanted to celebrate BIG. And this was BIG. I FLY is an indoor sky diving place. It's the closest thing to an actual free fall sky jump.The crew waiting to get going. I'll admit.., I was a bit nervous...., okay really nervous.
Aaron, me and the birthday boy.
And let's be honest..., a blog post really isn't complete with out a cute picture of at least one of the kids. Mason loved this and watched so closely the entire time. If you listen closely on the video you can actually hear his commentary.

Hanging out with my Peeps

You seriously can't tell me that none of you haven't thought about doing this????If you can't tell from the first picture, I'm sure you can tell from the second...., We're roasting Peeps, the delightful Easter treat. They actually aren't bad. The sugar coating gives the marshmallow a thin, crisp shell when heated. If you cook them a bit too long the thin, crisp shell which was initially yummy, turns to a caramelized, rock-hard, nasty piece of yuck. It's a fine line between the yummy treat and yuck.
