Bowling

We went bowling this afternoon with some friends in our ward.
Saxon is in love with their little Chloe and kept telling her how he knows how to go bowling because he went to Uncle Kenny and Aunt Lisa's wedding.

The boys got to use the ramp and bumpers so that they could knock some pins down.
On each turn, Saxon would look at where the pins are and line the ramp up.
Smart little guy.
Bridger would just push the ball with one finger, but he always managed to knock a bunch of pins down.

Saxon and his vampire teeth from Pops:

Bridger and his "big smile" after knocking most of his pins down.

We hadn't been bowling since Kenny and Lisa's wedding. The kids loved it, and since we went during the day, we were the only ones there (which was really nice). We'll have to go more often. Our friends are fabulous bowlers though, so we're going to have to practice a little first :)

Bees Game

I don't have any pictures to go with this, but Saturday night, Mike took us to a Bee's Game. The kids LOVED running around on the grass and Mike bought them snow cones. During the 7th inning stretch, Jeff put Saxon on his shoulders to sing "Take Me Out the the Ball Game" and they even made it on the big screen! :) I wish I had been faster with my camera so I could have taken a picture. It was so cute!

Then, the Bee came over to the grass to say hi to everyone. Saxon ran up to say hi and Bridger started making buzzing sounds and pointing. Saxon got a high five from the Bee and Bridger got his hand autographed. It says "Bee". He loved it!

Buddies

These two are crazy together.
Bridger crawled out of his crib and onto the changing table.
Then Saxon decided to join him.
Nate kept taking pictures trying to get a cute smile out of both of them at the same time, and this is how it turned out:

Road Trip

One of the highlights of a road trip with my mom is the motor home.
We buckle in Bubby, Saxon watches movies with Uncle Kasen, and I get to rest on the big bed in the back. Grammie always keeps her motor home clean, smelling good, and stocked with treats.
Here's Bridger enjoying some oreos:

Saxon and Uncle Kasen sleeping on the top bed. I think by the little smirk, that Saxon is fake sleeping...

Bridger reached into my purse and got out his sunglasses to pose for Aunt Brookie.
He kept doing his "big smiles" for her.
She said that one day he will look back and wonder why he looks terrified in every picture :)

Once we got back to Grammie's house, it was time for baths.
Uncle Kenny and Aunt Lisa gave us a yummy bubble bath for Mother's Day and we decided to try it out:

"Smiles" from both my sweethearts:

And, the clean boy...

Lake Webb

For Mother's Day Weekend, we drove down to California to spend the weekend at Lake Webb with my Mom for her birthday. The kids had so much fun! We stopped on the way there and spent some time with Josh and Brooks and the kids and then let the kids sleep in the "big castle" aka Whiskey Pete's. They LOVE the castle! On the way back we drove the whole way through which I thought was going to be really miserable, but it wasn't too bad. We met Brooks at McDonald's and let the kids play for a few hours. They got all of their energy out and then slept for a few hours after that. It was wonderful!

So, here is Lake Webb 2010:

Saxon refused to come to dinner because he just wanted to drive in the boat again with Grandpa Gregg. He sat on the blanket and held the boat keys. He wouldn't even take off his life jacket because he was hoping that someone would take him boating. Finally Ryan enticed him to come over to the table by cooking ribs, and apparently, my kids LOVE ribs!

Saxon went tubing with Kasen and Cailey and almost fell asleep.

Then, Nate took Saxon and Bridger tubing.
Kasen was my fabulous photographer!
Later, Saxon went on the Jimmy Jam all by himself!
He was so brave! Bubby held the flag for him.
Maybe at Shaver we will get him up on skis...

Another highlight of the trip...Aunt Lori's "little doggy."
Saxon would do anything as long as we promised him that he could hold Aunt Lori's little doggy afterward. He kept refusing to say "Aunt Lori" for us. He called her "the black lady" because she kept wearing black, and he called Courtney "Cailey's friend". It was so funny. Finally, but the end of the weekend, he gave in and started calling them by their real names.

The Beach:
Our campsite was right on the water with a huge shade tree in the middle. It was perfect! Here are some pictures of us just hanging out on the beach:

(Saxon floated out to the boat and hooked up the tube all by himself so that someone could take him tubing)

Thanks so much Mom for inviting us and taking care of us and the kids the whole time! We love you so much and hope you had a great Mother's Day and Birthday!!! We love you!
