Date Night With Peyton
Montana and I realized the other day that every time we have done something with just Peyton, it has always involved the hospital. We decided it was time for him to have a date. So, I fed Austin and away we went. Peyton got to choose where we went to dinner and what we did afterwards. He picked McDonalds and then we headed to Fat Cats to go bowling. It was great for Peyton to get some one on one time with just mom.

Doctors Appointments
Tanner was due for his 3 year check up and Austin was due for his 2 month check up. I wanted to do them together since they were only a couple of weeks apart. Well, when they got scheduled, Austin was a little behind for his...he was almost 3 months old! Oh well!
Austin's Stats:
Weight: 12.5 lbs (23%)
Height: 23.5 in (28%)
Head: 16 in (63%)
Tanner's Stats:
Weight: 26.9 lbs (6.5%)
Height: 35.25 in (7%)
They are both following their own curves. Tanner is most definitely on the small side!

I'm From Vegas!
This week was Spring Break. So, Montana and I decided to drop the kids off to my mom and head to Las Vegas with Austin for a little break. We thoroughly enjoyed just having one child to take care of for a few days. We stayed at a hotel off the strip and then we would drive to the Strip and park. The first evening, we went to dinner at the Wynn buffet. It was really pricey but had lots of good food. And the dessert bar was AMAZING! We walked around a little bit after dinner and then decided to go sleep! Montana had worked the night before and hadn't slept at all that day so he was exhausted. And Austin just wanted to lay on the bed after being in his car seat most of the day.
The second day we had to stop and see the Gold and Silver Pawn shop where the TV show Pawn Stars is filmed. Too bad we didn't get to meet anybody famous! And then we went on a gondola ride at the Venetian. It was perfect weather, Austin loved the boat ride, and our 'driver' was funny and a great singer.
Then we headed to the Wax Museum. That was awesome. It was crazy how real all the people looked.
We walked the rest of the Strip down to Coke World. We stopped along the way and got some lunch. It was quite warm but we survived! We decided to order the "Taste Around The World" tray where we were able to sample 16 different Coke products from around the world. Some were absolutely disgusting, some were way too sweet, and some were quite enjoyable.
We took the Monorail back to our car and drove to the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory. We were able to see a few chocolates being made, sample some chocolate and brittle, and then we had to buy some for the road. It was delicious.
We stopped at another hotel to check out their mermaid show but it was not worth the drive. Then we hit up another buffet for dinner and headed back to the hotel.
The next morning, we packed up and headed to the outlets. We walked around, shopped, ate, and were on our way home. It was fun and a much needed break. Thanks to my parents for taking the other three kids so we could get a break!

Tanner Turns 3!
Tanner turned three on March 31. Since his birthday fell on Easter, we decided to celebrate it on April 1 instead. We started the day with a ride on the FrontRunner to Salt Lake. We hopped on the TRAX in Murray and made our way to the University of Utah. There is a really amazing pizza place (the Pie) on the west side of campus so we walked there for lunch. It was delicious! Then we hopped back on the TRAX and headed towards downtown Salt Lake. We caught up with the FrontRunner again and rode it back home. The boys had a blast on the train.
Later that evening, we celebrated Tanner's birthday. We had some friends over, ate cake and ice cream, and opened presents.
I can't believe that Tanner is 3! The years just fly by! He is such a funny kid and makes us laugh a lot. He is also very mischievous and doesn't like to listen. But we are so grateful that he is a part of our family!

Easter 2013
This year, we celebrated at home. It was Tanner's birthday but we didn't celebrate that until the next day. The kids loved their baskets and all the fun things the Easter Bunny brought them. The Easter Bunny hid eggs in the backyard and the boys had a blast finding them. Then it was off to church! We came home, relaxed, and then had a nice ham dinner with a couple in the ward (the Shearers) and Eric. It was a great day!
