Building the Pergola

This weekend was spent building Jon's parents Pergola. We started Thursday after dinner and were kind of finished by dinner time on Saturday. We had to lift it and flip it over etc. It took all the hands we had and could of used more but it is standing there are still a few things that need to be done on it but they are going to wait for another weekend.

Sprinkler Fun

Playing Games

Landon enjoyed showing Kyler how to play his Deigo Matching Game. After trying to be patient he decided to do what ever he wanted. They also had fun playing/ make a mess with Connect 4. They try really hard to be able to play just like the big kids and in time they will be right along with them; Until then they enjoy making their own rules to their games.

Teeter-Toter

While camping last week we realized after taking this one picture that we forgot to charge the batteries in our camera after returning from Disney World. So here is the one picture of our first camping trip of the year. The boys used a piece of wood that they found to make a teeter-toter. The trip ended up being very eventful with a hike that I guess ended up being to long for the kids. Kyler fell asleep while sitting on Jon's shoulders and Landon ended up getting carried half of the hike back. We also got to listen to a bunch of raccoons fighting right outside our tent and could hear/see them circling our tent. It was pretty freaky if you ask me.

Walt Disney World Vacation

After a long airplane ride the boys were so excited to get out and play with their cousins. The look on the kids faces were great as they saw the Castle and all of the characters. The only ride that Landon really knew was the Dumbo but by the end loved the Peter Pan the best. We enjoyed racing on the Indy speedway, spinning in Teacups, riding Goofy's roller coaster and much more. We road in a huge jeep on a Safari in Animal Kingdom and came pretty close to a bunch of animals.
The resort we stayed at was the Polynesian so everything was set up with tikis and we had a Hawaiian Luau with the full show. We were right on the water across from Magic Kingdom. We watched the fireworks over the castle from our beach right outside our rooms. The kids enjoyed all of the many ways of transportation that we got to experience... Monarail, Ferryboat, Smaller Boat, buses, and of course airplane.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, Jon and I got to experience some of the more adult rides and attractions. Including, Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Rock-N-Roller Coaster, and more.

Disney Vacation

Walt Disney World

Mickey here we come

The boys have been so excited to go to Disney World. We made a chain of how many days until we leave so that they aren't constintly asking 'are we going today?'. The other day in the mail they received cards from Grandma and Grandpa with Mickey Mouse on them. They have been carrying them around and even started to play mail man just so they could play with the cards.

Boxes

Who needs toys when you can have a nice brown box. Landon and Kyler have spent a lot of time the past couple of days playing in these boxes. In this picture they each have a 'house' and they are using the toy workbench from their room to be their TV, and of course Landon is on his cell phone to Daddy.

Cast is gone

After five weeks Kyler is finally cast free. He is still limping a little but that is normal for a few days(so they say). On his finally x-rays the technition let Landon go behind the little wall and push the button to actually take the picture. I think the best part for Kyler was when he could take a bath like a normal person instead of having to wear a special cast cover. Needless to say we just excited that it is all done with and Kyler is doing well.

Buddies

Landon and Kyler are enjoying the company of their cousin Bryon and neighbor Ashton. After pulling everything out of the boys room they decided to watch a cartoon instead.

Popsicles

The boys were very excited to try the homemade Popsicles we made. (the ones that you can fill with juice, or kool-aid). These are apple juice pops

Helping out

Landon has really been a huge help during this whole open house process. I decided to wash our fouton cover today so that it will look extra nice for the next open house on Saturday. While it was in the wash Landon was using the dust duster to clean up any crumbs that got on the pad itself.

New Cast

Kyler got his new cast. We took Ky back to the Sports Medicine doctors to get his red long leg cast cut off and to get his new one. He was amazingly brave. He never cried the entire time. The main thing he really just hated was having to get x-rays done again, these were his third set of x-rays so as soon as we went in he knew what was going on. His new cast makes it a lot easier to walk. It is a short leg cast and his foot is flat rather than pointed like his red one. I know that Ky can hardly wait to get the cast off so that he can finally wear his shoe again.

Stitches

This morning ,on doctor's orders of course, I removed Jon's stitches from this surgery. I was very proud of myself for actually do it and not needing to call in reinforcements. He is pretty much back to his usually stuff with the exception of being able to lift heavy things with his left arm. The doctor said that he will have complete use of his arm and be able to do what ever he wants except probably chin ups. Jon said the worst part now is that all of his chest hair is starting to grow back and it itches like crazy.

Layton's Farm

We were invited to visit the new animals at the Layton's Farm. They are a dear sweet couple in Grandma and Grandpa Humphries' ward. It turns out that they are descendants of the Layton's that founded the town. They have goats, sheep with new lambs, and cows with calves. By the end of the season, apparently they will be having 12 new calves birthed on the farm. it was a lot of fun and the kids loved seeing the animals up close.

Feeding the cows

Landon and Bryon really enjoyed helping feed hay to the cows and watching them eat it. Kyler, on the other hand, didn't like how loud #12 moos so he didn't want to get too close.

Moo!

At the farm the boys loved talking to the animals. Landon is very politely mooing to the new calf.

Happy Easter!

Here is the best picture we got of the boys in their new church clothes. Due to the cast Kyler has been forced to wear shorts almost all the time.
