Trafalga

So we bought these passes called the Pass of all Passes and we have no idea how they are making any money off of them but as the consumers We Love It.   We get unlimited admission to 2 Trafalga parks, unlimited admission to 2 water parks, 5 Bees games, 4 RSL games, 3 Blaze games and lots more.  Last weekend we decided to head out to Lehi to see what they had.  This was a kids paradise.  All sorts of rides and activities for the kids to do.  They enjoyed flying in the airplanes.

 Isaac really enjoyed the go-karts, Sarah - Not so much.  You can see her and daddy on their last lap.

 Katie just hung out and enjoyed being outside.

 The bumber boats looked like so much fun.  Each boat had a water gun on it and you could spray the other people and try to avoid the water fountains from getting soaking wet.  Isaac had fun spraying everyone else.

 The pirate ship was a mini-tidal wave ride.  Isaac wanted to ride it all by himself.  He is growing up so fast.

 They had a 30ft rock climbing wall and Isaac couldn't wait to do it.  It took him a couple minutes to figure it out and then he scaled the wall in about 10 minutes.  Gary got to do it too.  When we left I asked Gary if it was too easy and his response was, No Isaac just made it look easy!

 The next day we went back to Red Butte gardens for some R&R and here is our birthday girl by the birthday flower cake.  And our little monkey hanging from the fireman pole.

Look who's 3 and who is 3 months.

Katie is 3 months old already.  She is getting so big too fast!  She gives the best smiles and at 14 weeks she is now starting to giggle.  She has such the sweetest voice.  I love talking with her and having her coo back to me.  Here she is playing in the cradle.

 Isaac is such a great big brother.  He is a wonderful helper with Katie.  He enjoys talking to her and if she is crying he always puts her binky back in her mouth.

 For several weeks leading up to her birthday, Sarah has asked for a 'punzal' cake.  She loves the movie Tangled and we tell her she has punzal hair - which she loves!  So after searching how to make a Repunzal cake here is my creation. Not perfect but she didn't mind.

 She didn't understand that it was her birthday, which was quite amuzing.  She didn't want me to sing to her when she woke up and she kept telling everyone she was 2.  The only thing she cared about was her balloons and her cake.

 I decided to do a little family party at a park so the kids could play on the playground.  Here she is with uncle Ryan.  My kids love to play with him and his dog, Kingston.

Daddy and the birthday girl.

 Getting ready to sing Happy Birthday with Isaac, Clara and Macey.  It only took her a couple good blows to get the candle out. We want to thank everyone who was able to come and celebrate her day.  This is the first birthday she had near family!

 She wasn't interested in opening her presents so we waited till we got home.  She made out with lots of cute clothes.  Thank you everyone.   Mommy and the birthday girl.

 Grandma L gave her this cute magnetic cinderella toy.  She has loved dressing her in all the different outfits.

 I took her to her 3 yr check-up and she is 32 lbs and 37.5 inches tall.  Healthy and happy girl.  We love you Sarah Jean and am so lucky to have you in our family.

Two Months Old / April

After her bath she loves to snuggle up in her soft blankets.  She is full of big smiles. 3/30/12

 She is 7 weeks old now.  She sleeps for about 5-6 hrs at night!! Yay for mommy.

 We went to a Real Salt Lake game and had so much fun.  Soccer games are much better in person!  They even won.  The kids enjoyed dancing to the music and we even got to touch the huge flag as it went around the stadium.

 Look who's 8 weeks old.  She has been such a joy.  At her 2 mo check up she weighed in at 13lbs 12 oz and was 25.5 in long.  She was so alert and the pediatrician couldn't believe how focused she was.  She is really good at holding her head up.  Our healthy baby girl!

 Giving daddy smiles.

The weather has been so nice so we headed to Red Butte gardens to look at all the flowers.  Isaac and Sarah love climbing on the lizards.

 Swinging with dad!

 Here is a picture of Gary with his dad, grandfather, 2 brothers and brother-in-law.  So fun to have so much family together.

 4/16/12  She is just hanging out in her chair.

5/2/12  Getting ready for bed.  Poor Katie has an eye infection again.

Disneyland/ Happy Birthday Gary!

At the end of March we decided to take a much needed break and head to California.  It had been a year and a half since we had been to Disneyland so we figured it was time to go again.  The kids were so excited to go, especially Isaac.  He wanted to go on Buzz Lightyear ride first but Peter Pan won out.  Sarah was not sure about this place.  She kept saying, "Go Home!"  But after a couple rides she decided she liked Disneyland after all.  Now all she asks for is,  "Go Disneyland!"

 Waiting for Storybook Ride.  This ride is just so beautiful - I love the gardens.

 Nemo ride was a big hit.  I must admit I am getting really good at taking pictures one handed!

 So when we finally made it to Buzz Lightyear, Sarah wanted nothing to do with the laser guns.  She went on this ride 3 times before she even touched the gun.  At the end of the 3rd time she decided to pick up the gun as we were getting off the ride.  Then all of a sudden she LOVED the ride.  "I do Buzz, I shoot Buzz.  Again!"  After that she was hooked and lets just say I lost count of how many times we rode this ride.

 Isaac was very focused on the targets.  He still loves this ride too!

 Mom and Isaac riding the cars together.  I am glad he has 10 years till we have to worry about him driving.

 Playing in the Tarzan Treehouse.

 Cars with daddy!  They let him go twice since he had 2 kids with him.  Each of them had a chance to drive the car.

This is one of my favorite pictures.  Isaac was finally tall enough to go on all the rides except Indiana Jones.  This is his first time on Star Tours.  It was fun for us too since they just reopened the ride with new videos to watch.  Isaac enjoyed the one with Darth Vadar.

My Mickeys!

 This is the picture that was taken on Splash Mountain.  Gary and Isaac were the only 2 in the log and Isaac got to ride in front.  He is holding the seat for dear life down the hill.

 Our cute Katie Bug. She did so good in this carrier.  7 weeks old.

 We had to go in the Monkey cage, since we have 3 monkeys!

 It's a Small World was more of Sarah's style of ride.  She loved watching all the dolls dancing and singing.  Isaac and Sarah enjoyed picking out the Disney characters they added to the ride.  Sarah is really into the movie Lilo and Stitch right now so she thought it was great seeing them in the ride.

 I love this one of Isaac giving Mickey a hug.

 The kids all had Mickey/Minnie shirts.  Sarah was scared of anyone in a costume, but she did give Mickey a five as we were leaving.

 Daddy and Katie hanging out in Toon Town.

 In California Adventure they have this great area for kids to run and play.  Isaac wanted to try the tire swing/zip line. He did great and of course loved it. 

 Bumper Bugs

Hanging out while Dad and Isaac were on Big Thunder Railroad.

 Mom and Isaac got to sit in the very front of BTR.  This was the only rollarcoaster Isaac really liked.  Maybe because to the goats eating the dynamite.

 They really do love each other!  We put them together on Snow White and he held her the whole time.  So Sweet!!

 If you look closely you can see everyone on the carousel together!

 Good bye Disneyland.  We had a great time and it was a lot of fun to spend Gary's birthday there.  Not every year that you get to sit and watch fireworks for your birthday.  We also made it to the Cheesecake Factory for his special day.  We had a so much fun we already want to go back.  Maybe in October (my favorite time).
