Utah

You have to have a evening at Jungle Jim's and Ride the kid rides.

Branden and Anthony were tired every afternoon with all the fun they were having. I spent some time in the car letting them sleep so that they would rest or should I say I could rest. they wanted to always be on the move and there was no slowing them down I needed the rest. I got this nice roomy car from my Grandma and Grandpa Thomas to use while I was in Utah. It was the best. When Grandma would come with we could even get away with using the Handicap sign. YES!!

Jackson and My Brother Shawn. We went to the park.We stayed in a hotel in Downtown Salt Lake to have fun and Swim in the Hotel Pool.

Picture though the window not so great.

South Town Mall. There was a cute train that took the kids on a 8 minute ride of the mall.

We spent an afternoon with Na Na Nixon at Sugar House Park. The water was over flowing in this little lake and well Boys and water. They just did not feed the ducks. So Na Na and I sat on the hill watching.

So everywhere we go the boys make friends. These girls from Nepal and Thailand. They played with them for most of the time we were there. They like older women I guess. Marcus liked Asian women at that age as well.

The girls made this weed and wild flower bunch to give to Na Na. She even took it home.

Na Na and Uncle Matthew have chickens. When we were at Uncle Matthews Anthony was brave and held a chicken. Well the Chicken might be a rooster.

This is Grandpa Nixon's Hammock and you have to take a turn in that it is so relaxing.

Pizza at Na Na's. The cousins had so much fun playing and eating together.

Well a few of them were playing dogs that is why they have sicks in their mouths.

We went to Wheeler Farm and the Salt Lake county Library system were having a summer reading kick off and had a little carnival. We watched a Dog dancing looked at snakes and the farm animals.

We had a pool and swing set party with the Thomas cousins. Annette my sister has a fun Huge back yard to run in. This is Hailie and Anthony on the swings.
Little Jack Jack.

Cute Parker Boy.

This was our layover on the way to Salt Lake. At the Chicago Airport. Abe Lincoln.Fun play area to pass the time.

Another Highlight was riding the lawn Mower with Grandpa. He got this cool trailer that he could haul the kids around in. Grandpa while mowing the lawn would haul Branden and Anthony around his huge yard in the trailer. I know they will never forget that ride. I could not get it all in one post so More to come including my time in Tx with Marcus.

ZOOM - Choncho's wedding - Field Trip

Branden has never wanted to ride his bike. I have always said go ride your bike and he did not want to. I was always frustrated and gave up. I was sitting on our porch and I saw a kid ride by and sure enough I had to run and get the camera. It was Branden!! He had taken his training wheels off himself and was riding his bike. I did not even need to run beside him or anything. I had to hand it to him at getting the training wheels off himself. I was so proud of him and what a good bike rider he is. He is now Zooming all over the neighborhood.

This Is Nicole a neighbor girl and her dog Bella the all brown Yorkie. Well Bella and Choncho are an item they like each other and are good friends.

Bella likes Anthony and as you can see Choncho has eyes for Bella.

The other day Choncho and Bella had a wedding on the tramp! I thought this was so funny. Bella is a much older lady and Choncho is still a young chap. The kids had fun.

Anthony had a friends birthday party at a fire station. It was fun. Anthony in the Blue shirt and two of his friends finding out what was in the loot bag.

My silly boys trying out their new HOW TO TRAIN A DRAGON swim suits and flexing some muscles.

Oh just me hair cut.

Anthony's Class went on the longest field trip ever. It started at the post office where they saw how mail is sorted, routed and sent. Oh and I saw this cow picture on a calender at the post office and had to take a pic of it. It needs to be in Brandens room for sure!!

Anthony next to the mail truck

Anthony was trying out this cool chair at the post office.

I just thought this was a great quote on the wall. I need to do more things for others.

Just as we went to see where the trucks come to drop and collect packages a UPS man came to load up.

Next was the fire Station.

Anthony is Joe cool on the end with his arms crossed. This is totally his Dad right here. The stand.

The fire man put on all of his gear and went crawling around and asking them if he looked scary he came right up to Anthony and said Do I look scary to you? He just stood there with eyes wide open.

They showed them one of the trucks they had.

Then off we went to see a local FOOD LION here in Georgia.

Snack Oreo and Capri sun.

Got to wear a cool hair net YES!

Anthony Helping ground some BEEF!

Anthony checking out some items at the check stand. I was so jealous I love playing store when I was his age and always wanted to have a real cash register and ring items up. He is living a Childhood dream of mine. Well I still want to play with a real CASH REGISTER!!

Beep, BEEP........

Then after this we went to a park and had lunch and Played at the park. A nice lady that drives a Yellow type big Van looking thing. Can you guess who this was? Well she floated us over to Zaxbys Chicken ( a few mom's) and we got some food for us while we waited at the park. I felt like I was ditching school. This is Hush Hush. The Kids had fun at the park and were beat by the time the day was over. I went back to the school with Anthony on the big Yellow bus and got his book bag and he came home with me. It was only 15 min early but he was so happy! We had a blast.

Boys, Easter, Visits and Makeovers!

Picking up Branden from school excited about all the nice treasures he got at his egg hunt.
I went to Anthony's class to help divide the eggs after the Pre K race for the eggs.

Branden and Anthony at school. They both had a Easter Egg hunt and class party. CANDY CANDY CANDY!

I don't think that my sunflowers are going to grow with this much water! BOYS!

Staying in Atlanta with Grandma and Grandpa for a fun Spring Break!

We had a door bell at the hotel. I laughed at that.

My little Birds that flew into the nest at Atlanta ZOO. They are wearing their hats they got at Coca-cola. They were so funny they were our tour guide through the Zoo and held on to their maps through the entire Zoo.

Before: the makeover
