TBall, Frozen, Temple, and Melted Plate

Jaxon has started TBall!  He was not very excited about it when I would tell him about it, but he loved his first practice and has since been 3 times.  His first game is next week.  When I came home from pack meeting last week, he was so excited to show me his "TBall Costume"  






All the cousins had a fun Frozen party over at Shannon's house on Friday night.


On Sunday we went to see the temple.  The gates were closed, guess we have to go during the week!  Love having the Gilbert temple!!!





This morning when I was making Kyla's grilled cheese I accidentally stuck the plate in the toaster oven!  When I first opened it I stared at it for a long time trying to figure out what it was and what had happened!  I thought it was ketchup at first!  haha!

spring break

Spring Break was great, very low key.  Monday was Jaxon's day since it was his birthday.  Tuesday was Kyla's day, she wanted to go to the library.  We got tons of books and movies.  Then we headed to WalMart, the kids had some money they wanted to spend.  Then we went to Grandma's and then home for a day of books and movies.  At night we watched Star Wars #4.  Wednesday was Maelie's day.  Kailin, Karsyn, and Kaden came to play.  After that, we went to San Tan mall.  We played, went to some stores, saw the puppies, and got ice cream cones.  At night we played baseball at the park and watched Star Wars #5.  Thursday was Canyon's day.  We just hung out at home during the day.  In the afternoon Shannon came over to watch the kids while Jonas and I went to the Gilbert temple!!!  SO AWESOME!!!   Loved it!  Then we all went to Golfland for some golfing.  A young girl named Tiffany approached me in the parking lot needing money.  We gave her money and I told her to read the book of mormon. :)  She already had one... Hope she is doing ok... Friday was my day, I guess, haha.  We met Emily and Kristen at the park in the morning, always great hanging with them and their kids.  Then we went to pick up our Zaycon bacon and had some for dinner, it was yummy.  We brought my mom's half of bacon to her and then met Taani and her kids at Superstition mall.  We played, saw the puppies and kitties, and went to the candy store.  Disaster!  Never doing that again. Canyon got out of his stroller, too many kids asking for too much candy!!!  When we got back Kyla's friend Christian came to play.  Then Kyla and I took him home (our old neighborhood, so weird!!) and then got the shopping done.  We watched Star Wars #6 at night, see a theme?  Saturday was "Jonas' day"  We cleaned in the morning and then dropped the kids off with Trevon and we went to BJ's for a lunch date.  YUM!!!!!  Then we came home and cleaned some and played Mario and jumped on the tramp and other home stuff....  We watched Star Wars #1 at night.  So no, we didn't quite get through all the Star Wars but we will probably finish them this weekend.  Phew!  That was a long description!!!

Jaxon's 6th birthday

Jaxon is 6!!!  We are so happy he is in our family!!!  On Friday I brought cookies to his class.  They sang to him when he was in the circle and he made a wish, and they played Heads Up 7 Up!  So fun!!!





On Sunday we had his birthday cake at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  He loved the Lego Ninjago cake that Hillary made.  We also celebrated Grandma's birthday. 






Today is his birthday!  We had birthday pancakes and he has been playing with his new legos all day.  Grandma and Shannon also took him to Build a Bear.  Later we will have his favorite dinner, pizza and bread sticks!  Happy Birthday Jaxon!!!
