Yummy...food!!!

Beckham is almost 6 months old, so I decided it was time to try some rice cereal!

He actually did pretty well with it. At first he wasn't so sure.....
But bit by bit he decided it was really tasty!

Success!!! What a cute little guy! Love that smile! Love this little guy!

Spring Break...

We took off and headed up to Utah for Spring Break. Lucky for us Mike and Dillon's breaks fell on the same week! We spent a few days in St. George swimming at the pool at our hotel and driving around a bit. We also took a hike in Snow Canyon.

The red sand was sooo soft and warm!

Dillon was in heaven...he was able to just roam and do his thing.

Taking a rest on the little bench.

The kiddos were such troopers! The trail we walked turned out to be quite a bit longer than we thought. 4 miles to be exact! There was a little complaining by the end but it was fun! The mountains there are so beautiful! The red rocks and sand, it really is a gorgeous canyon!

We then headed up to spend a couple days with my family and then a couple days with Mike's family. What an awesome way to spend spring break! With family! Thanks for all the fun! We love you!

Dillon's Birthday!

Holy Moly Dillon turned 6!!! He decided he wanted a Lego Star Wars theme for his big day! First off I took cupcakes to school for him to pass out to his class. After school he chose to eat at Taco Bell for lunch!

After lunch we headed home to get ready for his friend's to come over.

(Lego Star Wars)
As soon as all the friends arrived we decorated some star wars masks.

Here's Taya's (it's C3PO)

After masks it was time for Presents!!!

He got all sorts of great gifts from everyone! Thanks so much!

Suddenly a message arrived from Jedi Master Yoda. It sent the young jedi knights on a scavenger hunt to find their missing light sabers. Once the light sabers were found the jedi knights took them outside to destroy the evil powers of the Dark Side..........

Attack the Dark Side!!!

Jedi Taya fighting her opponent (the balloon) :)

Destroy the last one!!!

Back inside for cupcakes!

Happy Birthday to Jedi Dillon!

Before the kids went home they went back out to battle with Jedi Master Mike.

After his friends went home, we headed to Barro's Pizza for dinner! Then back to our house for presents!

Dillon got a few different sets of legos, a couple new books, and a Cars 2 car.

And an awesome sleeping bag from Grandpa Ron

He just had to try it out!

Taya had to try it too!

Now for the big gift.....it's a new bike!!!!!

Birthday brownies to finish off the day!

Our awesome party guests

Blowing out the candles

Mommy and Dillon

Here's Dillon's new bike! Much better size for him. He hopped right on and had no problem riding it! (I was worried it might take him a bit to get used to the size) Nope, he was cruisin up and down the street!

Happy Birthday Dillon! We love you so much!

No More Training Wheels!!!!

Take a good look at this picture and you will notice that there aren't any training wheels on Dillon's bike!

Yes he has mastered it! I am one proud mama! It took him all of a couple of hours! You can tell by the looks of that tiny bike that he needs a bigger one, but I was determined he wouldn't get a bigger bike until he could ride without training wheels. So one day I took them off and let him have at it.

This pic makes me laugh every time I look at it! Here he is in action! We went to a nearby housing development that only has roads and no houses so he could cruise around freely.
Of course miss Taya was there too. She has made some excellent improvements to her bike riding as well. She goes pretty fast and no longer gets stuck! She can also ride, sing, and ring her little hello kitty bell all at the same time! So dang cute!

I am so proud of Dillon! I can't believe how quickly he figured it out and all on his own! So glad he is still on that tiny bike! You might chuckle cuz he's kinda a giant on it but it worked like a charm!

So much fun just ridin' bikes!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all! We had a great celebration!

We started our celebration on the 13th so we could party with the kids cuz Mike and I were going out on the 14th. Dillon helped me cut out hearts and we decorated the table. We enjoyed a delicious heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's!

We then enjoyed heart shaped brownies with frosting and sprinkles!

On Valentine's Day, Mike surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses! (I am so angry at myself cuz I didn't get a pic grrr...) Anyways... they were beautiful and I loved them! That night Mike took me to an awesome restaurant in downtown Phoenix called The Compass. It's on the top of a tall building and the whole thing slowly rotates as you eat! It was sooo fun and pretty darn romantic! The food was delicious too, we got to try some new foods to expand our tastes. All in all it was a great day! I love you Michael, you're the best! :)

Michael's Birthday!

We had tons of fun on Mike's birthday! We went to Cracker Jax (you might remember it was the same place we went on Dillon's birthday). Such a fun place! The weather was fabulous and we had a blast!

Riding the Bumper Boats

Such a great pic of Beckham just chillin in the stroller
Dillon drove the little go karts and then it was Daddy's turn to ride the big go karts!

Geared up and ready to race

1st place!

After Cracker Jax we headed over to Jaymie and Jesse's house to drop off the kiddos so we could go out to dinner. We went to Claim Jumper to eat and it was super delicious! We ended the great day with cake back at Jaymie and Jesse's house! Thanks guys for celebrating with us! We love you!
