Big Boy Bed

Mitchell is officially not my baby anymore. We moved him to a big boy bed this week. I have been having the hardest time getting him to go to bed, so I thought that maybe this would help. Luckily we didn't have to go out and a buy a bed, this is the same bed that Justen used. So far, I think Mitchell really likes it. But I am still having a hard time getting him to settle down at night to go to sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions? It is either skip the nap and go to bed at eight or take a nap and go to bed at ten. I guess the days of naps are coming to an end.

Day at the Park

On Sunday afternoon, we went to the park with some family and let the kids get there wiggles out. This park is a handicapped accesible, so the ground is soft and we can let the kids run around without worring to much. There is a picture of Mitchell and Kenidee in on of the handicapped swings. They liked it for about a minute then they wanted out.

Zoo, Build a Bear, and Gateway Water Fountain

The day after the wedding we headed to Hogle Zoo. I was so excited to take Mitchell to the zoo, he didn't get as excited as I thought he should have, maybe next year. He did love the elephants, we told him what noise an elephant makes and he did it all through the rest of the zoo. He also liked the carousel, he had a great time on it with his dad. After the zoo we headed to Gateway to Build a Bear, Mitchell and his cousin each built a bear. Wait let me rephrase that Mitchell's mom built a bear for Mitchell. His favorite part was the stuffing machine, but he did get a cute puppy in a red football uniform that we appropriately called "UTE". After Build a Bear we let the kids run through the water in the Gateway. They had a lot of fun but I think Mitchell was getting cold, so we didn't stick around to long. All in all it was a fun, exhausting day.

So I am a total slacker, I was just looking at the pictures on my camera and realized I have a lot that I haven't put on here. Justen's cousin, Alex, was married in the SLC Temple on April 30th. Here are a few pictures of my handsome boy. If I could just keep up with the little rascal.

Family Pictures

On the first weekend in May we headed down to Utah for my nephews baby blessing. While we were there we had our family pictures taken, this is the first time we have had them taken in about 8 years. It was a lot of "fun", Mitchell is not the easiest little boy to photograph. He doesnt' sit still for very long and if there is any water around that is where his attention is at. Here is what we ended up with.
