Spiderman Birthday

Wyatt Turned 4!

 Wyatt said he wanted a Spiderman party. (I was shocked because he really hadn't ever seen Spiderman or mentioned much of Spiderman) It was fun.

 He was specific on his requirements: Water must be included.

                        Spiderman Masks for everyone! And silly string for webs.

                                     A villain must show up for said webbing to be shot at!

                                                Lots of "sometimes foods" (or junk food)

                                And presents, of course! We really like having this guys in our family!

Beach Boys

Scratchy and Grandma came up and we have been having such a good time!

 They got to see the boys swimming lessons. Wyatt is like a fish, Ryan is doing much better.

 WE got to drive the golf cart around the gardens. Luckily the weather agreed with us.

 On the 4th of July Scratchy took Wyatt to see the Beach Boys. They have been listening to the beach boys for a long time and I am so happy they got to go together. Hopefully Wyatt never forgets it!

 Scratchy and Grandma also took Wy to the BYU creamery for a banana split to celebrate his upcoming birthday.

 We have been taking them to all our favorite spots!

Amy's visit in May

My mom and dad came up and this time they brought Amy and her girls with them. It was a short trip, but I know how hard it is to go places with little ones. Wyatt and Cali played really really good together.

 Rose was great! I enjoyed mushing her little face the whole time! She is a good baby! She also got to meet great Grandma and Granddaddy!

Wyatt is now on summer break, but will be back to miss Kayley's soon. He is doing amazing! I am so happy with his progress!

A neighbor posted a trick to viewing the solar eclipse so we tried it and the pictures turned out great! Wyatt really enjoyed seeing it! I remember looking through a piece of paper in like 2nd grade to see the last lunar eclipse. So fun!

Run Ashley! Run!

I have been running. I am not kidding when I say that a couple months ago I could not (Could not!) run to the end of my driveway if my life depended on it! So I signed up for a 5k with a friend. She is a runner and I was a bit (ok, a lot) nervous to run it. I was hoping when I signed up for it that I would just be able to run half, or most of it. Luckily I have been getting stronger and was able to run the whole thing...and Keep up with Lori! 5k isn't much of a run, but it was my first so I wanted it to be fun. On this run we started out with plain white T-shirts. The course had 5 color stations where they would powder, and spray you with dyed food grade corn starch. (it washed off easier than I imagined). Here are some photos, luckily all of my friends are great photographers, so all I have to do is go with them places and I get good photos.



Easters

The Easter Bunny found us in California, and he still remembered to hide the boy's baskets. Ryan had to follow the string (extension cord) but Wyatt was old enough to just go find it without the help of a string.

 The got totally spoiled from both grandparents. Toys and candy galore!

 Nana and Robin came out to visit, they were in love with the attention!

 That bunny hid the eggs really good, but Wyatt still found them!

 Uncle John got to come down and met Rose and help bless her.

 New little family!

 I love these pictures of the kids and my mom and dad! They look amazing for being so stinking old, huh?

 I love this, I just need to get better at taking photos and editing them. All the grandkids!

 On our way home we got to stop and see Grandpa Brown. We feel really lucky that we get to see him when we come home. The boys really liked the airplane make from soda cans hanging in his room.

We had such an awesome trip home. Seeing family is so important to us!
