Connor has been vary excited for the class field to the Zoo. It was stressful for me I had three boys who wanted to run every where and the girls took their time. Thank goodness Stacie was there to help me out. The Zoo sure has changes since the last time. It seems like there are only a handful of animals left. We might go when the bears and sea lions open.

 

Here is what our kitchen looked like before we did demolition.We started about a week before we were planning on but I am grateful for the new lights in our kitchen and living room.  It has been a pain having to deal with insulation coming down, till James got the sheet rock up. Since these pictures have been taken James has taken the lower cabinet by the fridge out as well.  And the other morning we took the floor out.

 

 The boys are not quite used to the bright light in the living room yet. Parker asked for his sunglasses the other morning.

I love demolition day! My parents have been toying with the idea that the wall between the Kitchen and the living room needed to come down. Friday night Raider and my dad took down the cabinets and Saturday was the big day. Connor wasn't sure about it after he got some dust in his eyes. We found him some safety glasses and a hammer and he went to town. Parker on the other hand didn't want a thing too do with it. He enjoyed throwing the sheet rock into the trailer.

We had a little break where Connor wasn't able to help and he got upset so we got him a piece of sheet rock and he was happy again.

Derek finally got Parker in on the action.

Before

After

We get together every first Sunday of the month and have dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Jamieson. This Sunday happened to land on April fools day. So we had meatloaf that looked like cupcakes and blue jello with sharks in it. After we did a Easter egg hunt.

We went to the Easter egg hunt at the care center where Grandma John's lives. Parker had fallen asleep so he was ornery and didn't want to do anything. After he got his doughnut he was happy.

We went on a hike before Conference. The boys were looking out the window and said "we are on top of the world". And when we got out they asked "where is lulu?"

Connor brought home a piece of paper from school from the Clearfield Aquatic Center about swimming lesson. We signed the boys up. It was nice it gave them something to do instead of destroying my house.

Parker is now 3 years old. He loves monster trucks. I think about taking him to a truck show then I remember he doesn't like loud noise. He is a wild child constantly running, screaming and getting into trouble.

We went to the Living Aquarium today. It was crowed but the boys didn't seem to mind. We wanted to see the otters playing but they just wanted to be in the corner and sleep. At least the penguins were a bit more active.

We went to Erika's houses for New Year's Eve. The weather was nice so we were able to play out side. We had scooter race's, four wheeler rides, basket ball games and just dance.

Joel and Dianne come up the week after Christmas. Like most family gathering we have great food and yummy treat's. No real plans just flying by the seat of our pants one night at Krissy next Carries then Erika's.

Christmas Morning is getting better we don't have to help the boys open the presents as much. All Connor could talk about is a blue robot and all I wanted to get him was a camera so he would break mine.

We had dinner at Carrie's house. As per tradition we had yummy soup and rolls. Once all the kids were gathered together for a picture, we tortured them by taking a few more as soon as we said fine your done thanks they were out the door.
