Cooper Turned 2 on April 20 and because it was such a busy day. He got glazed donuts as his birthday treat; which he quite enjoyed because he had 3 of them. My aide, Linda, gave him a toy truck and he got a bug catching kit from his daycare. We had dinner at 5 Guys Hamburgers and he was just as happy as could be. We sure love this little guy though. He is so much fun to have around.

We celebrated Easter with our neighbors, The Wards, and had an egg hunt. Matt got a remote control airplane for his birthday so he took that out. He also got some rockets and shot them off for the boys to watch. It was a beautiful day to be outside. Scotlyn had just finished up her week of plays at church. She was in 5 shows of the musical "Arise" at Calvary this past week. What a wonderful Sunday it was.

Only 5 more weeks until "Summertime" arrives for us and then it's 3 months of playing...Yay!!!

Birthdays & Mini Trips










































































Parker Magnus turned 3 on March 7. I turned thirtysomething on March 6. We had a Baskin Robins ice cream cake for a treat.

Sarah and I decided to take the kids to Jackson on a Saturday when we had nice weather.

Matt and I drove to Arizona for Spring Break this year. He had classes so Scotlyn and I drove to Tucson to spend some time with my Aunt Billie. We visited Sonora Canyon, swam, and had lots of fun. She was also watching Nathan & Lucas Baker, some friends kids of hers. We dropped the boys off in Hurricane to spend the week with all the grandparents. It was about a 15 hour drive from our home to our hotel in Arizona.

December & Walt Disney World 2010


























As an early Christmas present to ourselves we decided to take Scotlyn to Walt Disney World in Florida. Matt's friend, Vince, was getting married and we thought to make a small vacation out of it. We had such a good time at both the wedding and the park. I don't think Scotlyn takes after me in my love for Disney since she cried on almost every ride from being scared, but towards the end of the night after being there all day...she began to enjoy herself and after I had to bribe her to go on most of the rides. Matt's parents came up to watch the boys along with my sister who helped out. I think Parker knew we were at a place that had Mickey Mouse because he said his name everytime I talked to him on the phone. The wedding was beautiful and we were happy to be able to share in Vince and Stephanie's joyous day. What a great end to a great year.
