Another Birthday Party!

Musical Chairs

Dexton loves going to birthday parties, but this one was a little confusing and I thought it would be. My friend from Chili's little girl's 3rd birthday is a couple days from Dextons. Well Dexton had his birthday party yesterday and went to Kloe's party today. He still thought it was his birthday so when Kloe was opening up her gifts he wanted to know where his was and when we sang her happy birthday he thought we were singing to him and he attempted to blow out the candles. It was funny but sad. He had a blast at the party. They played on a slip 'n slide, played with water balloons, had a pinata, a bounce house, and of course ate cupcakes. He had fun, we love birthday parties!

Andy's 2nd Birthday!

Our good friends Alex and Tava's little boy turned 2 last month. They had his birthday party at Thanksgiving Point. We went to the "farm" there for the party. They played games in the barn, got to feed the animals, went on a pony ride and a hay ride. All the kids loved it and Dexton had a ball. Happy Birthday Andy!!!

One of the games, find the candy in the hay.

Dexton has been begging us to ride a horse. He absolutely went crazy (good) he loved it. I only wish it was longer :(

Ward Luau

Our ward had a luau so I got this old shirt out of the closet for Dexton to wear for the party. It was a little small but it did the job. I thought Dexton and Dave looked so cute together.

Another attempt...

Another attempt to potty train Dexton... this time I tried something I saw on Dr. Phil. He can only wear underwear, drink a lot of sugary drinks and lots of salty treats to make him thirsty. I do the same with a stuffed animal and pretend his animal has to go potty so every few min. Everytime his animal goes potty on the toilet we have a big party and give him treats! 1st two days went good besides Dexton pooping all over my floor because I caught him so he ran with poop coming out of his butt. He loved to pee standing up hitting cereal but as soon as Dave came home it all went down the drain. He refuses to wear underwear and ONLY wants to wear his diaper. I have a ton of treats and prizes for him sitting in our bathroom counter. He points at them and says "sword if I go poopy?" I tell him yes but he doesn't care. Oh well he will eventually do it...won't he???

Snow Canyon

Dave heard about this "beach" from a friend, so we decided to drive down to see it. WOW it was amazing! Defiantly a to do every time we come down here!

I know I know were white/asian trash. We didn't bring Dextons swim suit and it was such a nice hot day and Dexton was begging us to play in the water. So we did it, stripped him down to his diaper. He loved it!

Dave took some vacation time because we were supposed to go on a cruise but it just didn't work out so we decided to head down to St. George and go camping for a couple days. It was awesome. Dexton loved camping, first time cooking his own hot dog and marshmallow. We had a blast from camping, to hiking, to just plain old relaxing. I love St. George!

A little friend that would visit us during dinner time.

Mothers Day

So for Mothers Day we went with my family to Little America for a Mothers Day Brunch. Because Dave has to fly on Sundays we went Saturday instead. Mothers Day would not be the same without my awesome husband. We never give each other gifts for most holidays, the only thing I ask for for Mothers Day is a day to do nothing at all. So Dave cleans, takes care of Dexton, and just lets me rest for one full day. It's the best gift ever!

EASTER!

At Dave's parents house. Dexton having a blast on the trampoline with his cousins.

Dexton finding all his Easter stuff.

So every morning Dexton wakes up and runs into our room to wake us up and to crawl into our bed. So I decided to put Bunny print suckers all across his room to...

the hall...to

the Easter presents the Easter Bunny brought him.

We heard the door open so Dave and I jumped out of bed, cracked our door opened and watched Dexton find his stuff. He just looked at all the suckers on the floor to his easter stuff and wanted to touch it but didn't dare. He just stared at it for a while, finally coming into our room and I asked him "Did the Easter Bunny come?" and excitingly he said "Yeah!!" and pulled me into the other room showing me what the Easter Bunny got him.

There were eggs hidden all over the house that he found. It was so fun and exciting. I hope my little Dexton had a great Easter!!!

Painting Easter Eggs!

Just some of the Easter Eggs they painted.

1st time Dexton has ever colored Easter Eggs. He had a blast!

Painted them with his cousins Parker and Madison

Dave promised Dexton to see animals at the Arches. This was the best we could find. He loved it though.

Dexton at the pool. It was too cold so he just put his feet in the water and sat in the hot tub.

At the Arches. So cool!

Our friends Alex, Tava

Best Daddy's!

So our good friends Alex and Tava ran the 1/2 marathon down in Moab. Dave and I were so jealous but we went down to support them in their run. It was Tava's 1st run and she did awesome. Alex did amazing too. We for sure will be running it next year! Nice job Alex and Tava!
