The Big 28!

I sound like I'm a little bit sad that I am 28 know. That is quiet the contrary. It was a nice day filled with family. All I wanted was to spend some time with my family and that is what I got. It was a great day.

Yesterday at lunch I told Henry that there was going to be a birthday tomorrow. He then replied 'who is the party going to be for then Mom?' to which I pointed to myself. He looked at me as you could see the wheels turning, and then he got it, and replied 'It's going to be your birthday Mom!' To which I told him yes. All day he kept on talking about the party tomorrow.

After supper I asked him if he wanted to help me make a cake. He was all over that one. He sat on the island and help me crack the eggs and then I gave him the job of being in charge and telling Mommy how to make the cake. I gave him the box for the directions to which he looked at and told me how to make the cake. If I do say so he was so good at it. He told me that we need to make the cake with eggs, and oil. Then we would mix and mix and mix it until we put it in the pan. So right before bed I told him that when he wakes up in the morning he has to come find Mommy and he need to tell me Happy Birthday and give a great big kiss and hug, and tell me that he loves me. Well I thought okay maybe he will remember, but come on he is 3 year old that was also very excited that his cousins were in town and staying over for a sleep over. He had no chance that he would remember.

Well much to my amazement, after he got up I was on my way downstairs to get breakfast ready and he came running down saying "Mom I have to tell you a question, Happy Birthday!!" He then gave me a great big hug and a kiss and said "I love you!!" I would have to say that was the best birthday gift I have received in a long time. Oh the innocence of young children.

Well the rest of my day was great. Bring it on getting old, I'm loving it (My kids getting older and all the fun stuff that comes with it and also getting wiser with age).

Time Flys

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post.

A lot has happened in the last month. We went to Utah for a week near the end of April, to spend time with family and do some sight seeing and lots of shopping. We had so much fun. The boys were so good with all the driving. I had so much fun down there, we will definitely be going back soon. The last time we went down was 6 years ago for conference. It was a last minute trip that we took with some friends when neither of us had any kids. We drove down and spent 3 days. Things are different when you travel with kids and you have more time to spend. We went to the conference center with the boys and did a tour. We also spent Easter Sunday on temple square with Family. It was such a beautiful day. Justin and I also got to attend a temple session at the Salt Lake Temple. That was such an amazing experience and I am so grateful we were able to have the time and a babysitter (thanks Grandma Kunkel).

Henry also started Soccer the week we got back from Utah. He is loving the shoes and shin pads more than going out on the field and kicking the soccer ball. Justin is coaching as well which is fun.

We are so looking forward to summer now that we are getting warmer weather and the grass is starting to turn green. We have started working on the fences and landscaping around our house and I can not wait until it is all done and we have no more mud and dust to deal with in our backyard. It will be so nice to be able to have Henry go out there and play again.

Spencer's birthday is coming up as well. I can't believe that in less than 1 month he will be 1 years old. It is so crazy. So excited for his party. We are doing a theme party. Any guess's? I think I am more excited to see how the theme works out. Any ways it will be Dr Seuss theme.

I'll get some photos next time around.
