Victoria turns 2!

For Tory's birthday this year, we had a family party with Grandma and Grandpa.  We all went out to eat and the kids played in the play area.  We headed home for cupcakes and presents!  Tory got some clothes and toys and a book from her grandparents, and money and a card from her other grandparents.  We got her a cool dollhouse and I made doll furniture to go with it...a labor of love  !  :) 

Family Home Evening

For FHE a few weeks ago we took a short trip to the Timpanogos Temple.  We had fun playing with the kids and talking about the Temple.  The kids had races up and down the grass in front of the temple and Chris and Ayden tried to jump around in the purple sleeping bag we brought to sit on.  It was a fun evening together.

SwingSet

For Easter the kids got a new swingset for the backyard.  They spend a lot of time hanging on it and playing pirate!  Tory LOVES the swings, but cannot get on them by herself, which she finds extremely frustrating.  But she is also happy to play on the slide. 

Badminton

For doing a bunch of work for daddy around the house Jared fixed Ayden's bike which had popped tires and let Chris choose something fun to play at the store.  Chris ended up choosing a sports set which has a badminton net and rackets and birdie.  The boys have spent every day outside lately playing together and having tons of fun.  On Sunday the boys challenged Jared and I to a game, and we had a lot of fun together.
