Catch Up

I have a camera!!!!  I am so excited.  Lance's dad read my post and felt bad for me so he bought me a new camera(Thank you Kent).  So we are back in business.  Here are some things that have been going on the last couple of months. Lance had a birthday in January.  We had a lot of fun.  He turned 29 on the 29th.  We gave him 29 cans of Mountain Dew, 29 pieces of various candies, 29 muffins and so on.  I think Elli, Taj and I had more fun then Lance.  Lance and I were going to go on a date but it happened to be the Carbon Emery basketball game so we went to that.Elli June was traumatically injured last month.  I was at Young Womens and Elli and Taj were playing crazy with Lance and Taj started shaking my shelf in the front room.  Well there was a tile with vinyl lettering on the top shelf, it fell and Elli caught it with her face.  It was very traumatic.I just liked this picture.  Elli and Taj are becoming such good friends.  They still fight now and then but now that Taj likes to pretend more him and Elli can play for hours.  This is them one night right before bed.  I LOVE my kids!!!Taj's Birthday!!!  My baby turned 3!  It was a sad day for Mom but happy for Taj.  He was so cute on the days before his Birthday, he wanted everything he saw for his birthday.  This was his Birthday Breakfast.He let sister help him open his presents.This is his tractor tipping race track.  He loves it McQueen goes flying.He had a Baseball Birthday.  He still loves baseball.  He had a Baseball cake.  Look at his awesome baseball uniform that Aunt Lisa found him.His Uncle Darrin gave him a baseball toy that shot the ball in the air and then you hit the ball in the air.  Taj LOVED it.  He is really good at it, especially for a three year old.  Lance and I gave him a boring old bike.  This is one of the only times he has sat on it.  He wants to play baseball whenever it is nice outside.  It was a fun Birthday, I know because we were all exhausted that night.  I love my Taj.  He is so much fun and makes our house so much more exciting.  He is all boy!!!  I love you Taj!!! This last weekend we went up to the Sportsmen's Expo.  We went up Thursday night and stayed with Lance's dad, then spent the day at the Expo.  It was a lot of fun.  They had a kids fair and Elli and Taj loved it.  This is the kids sitting in a boat learning about boat safety.This is what Elli will look like if she becomes a ranger when she grows up.This was one of our favorite part.  The kids got to fish for 10 minutes out of a tank of fish.  It was awesome.  You could see the fish take the hook.  I think Lance had as much fun as Elli and Taj did.  Our other favorite part was the dog dock jump.  I didn't take any pictures but it was fun to see the dogs jump.  Some dogs were jumping over 20 feet.  I think the Sportsmen's Expo is going to be a yearly thing for the fam.  After the Expo we met my brother Alex and his fam at Temple Square.  We walked around the visitor center's.  The kids loved it.  Everything is more fun with cousins.I have been wanting to take the kids to Temple Square forever, I am so glad we finally made it.  I know this is a lot for one post but I guess that's what happens when you don't write for months.
