Utah Vacation

Backyard fun at Grandma & Grandpa Anderson's












Tractor Fun With Papa Kent

















Playing games on mommy's phone. Always a favorite.

Lunch with Grandpa and Grandma Call

View from Antelope Island

We ate at an old drug store in Kamas and they had some funny books on the tables.









Lagoon Amusement Park



Jackson was scared of the witch in front of the scary haunted ride.





























Tigers and Lions!!!























Clint was trying to sneak up on Jackson, but Jackson snuck up on him first.

It was getting dark and cold, but we were still having FUN!!



Fun with the Call Families

My cute nephew, Conner

Niece Ashley, walking Jackson to the park.

Riding Chrome with Aunt Kristen

Jackson was saying "look at me" and "haw-yee" and "owdy".
It was a great vacation! Of course it never lasts long enough, but we're thankful that we got to spend that time with family. Thanks everyone for making it a wonderful trip!

Out of the Mouths of Babes

I just love listening to my children speak. Well, when they're saying nice things that is.

Things Morgan says:
Hunder instead of Thunder
Flower pop instead of flower pot
Tool instead of stool
Shampu instead of Shamu
"I'm like Rapunzel and you're like Mother" (not sure how I feel about that one!)
She likes to repeat some of the things I say. Like:
Go to time out!
Shush
Do you understand?
And my favorite...mom, follow directions!!

Things Jackson says:
hmm hmm ma=thank you mom
saw-ie=sorry
ma=more
baby
da=dog
ba=ball
he puts his chubby finger to his lips and shushes me when I sing sometimes :(
ya
ba-ba=bye bye
yawee=Shelly (who he absolutely loves!)
no no

Jackson had his 18 month well baby check up today. He's actually 20 months now, but he was 29 lbs. 34 inches, which was 80-90th percentile and then 99% for his head, as usual.

His doctor is so irritating. She told me I should be potty training him and asking me if I'm concerned about the size of his head. She said sometimes if they have a big head there can be water on their brain, blah blah blah. Um...his head has been 99-100th percentile since the day he was born. And if she would read her patient's charts before she came into the room she would know that. And don't even get me started on how she just walks out of the room after checking him out without saying anything. Didn't even tell me she was done. I had to go after her and ask her if that was it and where to go next. Oh, and I won't mention how I was in the clinic for exactly 1 hour and 40 minutes for Jackson to get 2 shots!

I'm done now.

Sunflowers and Habanero Garlic

For Easter Morgan got this little Sunflower growing kit (thanks Grandma!!). The other day we planted them and set them outside. Unfortunately the wind knocked them over and we lost half the soil, but we replanted them and the next day they were growing!!! Plants are amazing! It was so fun to see how excited she was when she saw them poking through the soil.

Last night I was cooking dinner and Jackson, as always, was scrounging for food. So I gave him some habanero garlic (very spicy) and he ate it. So I gave him more, then Clint gave him some more. He loved it! Well, this morning he smells like kimchi. His diaper, his breath, his skin! I can't even kiss his cute cheeks cause he is STINKY!!!
