Our Yard

We decided to up our front yard and put in a major sprinkler system.  It has taken a lot of time and we still aren't finished!  We rented a bobcat and removed the top layer of grass/weeds.  Then we rented a trencher to dig all of our trenches for the sprinkler line.  We have so many rocks that it was near impossible to do by hand.  Then, my parents spent a day at our house.  Dad helped with the sprinklers and Mom helped me get our strawberries weeded and our garden in.  Our sprinklers are now up and running.  We have a few more rocks to move and then we can plant grass!

The city also came and cut down the tree in our front yard.  It was dead and needed to go.  It's weird not having a tree out there.  Maybe one day, we will plant another one...

Mother's Day

I got spoiled this year!  Montana made me breakfast.  It would have been breakfast in bed but we have 9:00 church so I was the first one up cause I had to get ready!  Mason and Peyton both sang to me during Sacrament Meeting.  And then I came home and got a candy bar card from the boys.  And if you know me, you know I LOVE chocolate so that was the perfect gift!  Randee also sent me a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates.  I even got a nap that afternoon.  A perfect Mother's Day!

Montana Turned ?

Montana had a birthday!  He is one year older and wiser too!  We took the kids bowling and then had a little party in the evening to celebrate.

Drive In

For family night, we decided to do a drive in with the kids.  We found some boxes, spray painted them, put wheels on and let them dry.  The boys 'drove' their cars into the family room where Wreck It Ralph was waiting to start.  We took their orders and then served them.  We had hamburgers, fries, and shakes.  The boys thought it was great and we had a good time!

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!
