Dinosaur Museum

Josh's Dad came out to visit us and to see Josh graduate.  He was able to come in on a Wednesday and meet his grandkids for the first time.  Josh took him into his lab first thing as he was finishing up for the day.  They had lots of fun there.  But on Thursday we got to go to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point.  It was Fabulous!!  We had so much fun and enjoyed seeing all the things they had there as well as all of the great adventures the kids could have.  Evan really enjoyed brushing off the bones in the sand.  This is a slideshow of this fabulous event.  I'll post the video of Evan brushing off the bones next.

Here is a little something to catch you up!

Well, I guess I've been busy the last few weeks.  I started a new job in the mornings from 5am-8am.  I am working on the custodial crew that cleans the LDS Motion Picture Studio.  That is fun because it's pretty cool, but it's still cleaning!!  Actually, since we do the same tasks everyday things don't get that dirty so it really isn't that bad.  I have been wondering how I could get a crew into my house to clean all of it everyday. . . but then I remember I get to do that for free!!

We also have been trying to buy a house out in Ithaca, NY.  We found one that we think is going to be pretty great.  It should have some equity already in it, and with the plans we have it should help us out a bit when we finally graduate and move on to a real job and a real house :).  If you are interested in checking it out here is the link

We already have an accepted offer, so if any of you object. . . well, too late.  We are excited though.  Josh is going to fly out to close the deal on July 10th.  As long as the appraisal comes out good, the financing goes through, and the home inspection comes back clean the house is as good as ours!!

I decided that to write a blog and not put any pictures of the kids into it is really more of a waste of a blog.  So I finally took these pictures yesterday just so that I had some recent ones to post on my blog so I would write one and not have any more excuses for not updating it.  So, here they are.  Brayden had to wear this hat because his brother had a hat on.  Evan calls his outfit his soccer outfit.  He has to have the hat and his shoes on before he thinks it is complete.  He loves this outfit and would wear it everyday if he could!  They are so cute!!

Field Trip with Friends

Yesterday a couple of other girls in our quad and myself took our children up to Salt Lake City. We wanted to let them ride the "train" which is really Trax. We also took them to Temple Square. We had packed a lunch and we found a great place to eat outside. They had a lot of fun and were really great kids the whole time!! Here are our pictures from our "field trip". These are the same kids that Evan has been doing "pre-school" with, but we are all done now so they got this field trip as their last class!


This is Amber Lee, Evan Cobb and Morgan Tinling

Brayden had a lot of fun too!!


Evan and Brayden by this wonderfully large fountain outside the Church Office Building!!


We always LOVE the Christus Statue.  All the kids love being up there.



This is the wonderful spot that we found to eat at. From left to right:
Evan, Morgan, Boo and Caleb, Amber, Heather and Nathan (who you can't see), and Brayden. They all ate really well!


This is Amber, Evan and Morgan just "hanging out"!! They are so cute!!

They had SO much fun riding this "train"!! All of them just loved it!

The other day we went to the Bean Museum on campus.  While we were there a photographer for the Daily Universe asked if she could take our picture as we walked around.  We said sure.  So she did.  It turns out that Evan is just so cute they had to put his picture on the FRONT page of the Daily Universe really big!!  He didn't really care when I showed it to him, but his mom and dad thinks it's pretty fun!  I scanned the paper so here is the picture, but if you click on the title of this blog it will take you to a PDF file of the same paper.  

How Fun!

Easter '08

So Easter this year was not really all that fun. Josh, Evan, and Brayden were all sick! They were able to have a little fun, but once they found their baskets they pretty much forgot about them. I put them away and will give them back to them later this week when they are back to perfect health, then they will be happy and be able to really enjoy the candy and things. Evan did paint a couple of eggs though on Saturday night. Here's a couple of pictures of what they will enjoy later on this week.

Happy Easter!

Haircuts and a little "cheese"

So I wanted to put these on last week but I didn't get the chance and then Sickness entered the house and that is never fun. Anyway, we did haircuts last Saturday. Brayden did great as you will get to see. Evan didn't as you won't get to see because with both Josh and myself trying to hold him so I can cut his hair there was no one left to take the picture! Evan did enjoy taking picts. of his dad while he got his hair cut though.

Later I was taking pictures of my handsome boys, but Brayden is so cute when taking pictures that I ended up on video mode so we could remember his "cheese" always! He is such a ham!!

Evan Singing and Singing and Singing!

Evan really likes to sing lately. These are four of his favorite songs.  You would see Brayden joining in but he was way to enthralled by the camera.  Although I am partial, I find these videos to be very cute!!
