Today is HUnter's birthday and this video is from 2 yrs ago. It is the epitome of who my boy is. A very imaginitive, smart, fun, funny, problem solving boy. He made my dreams of being a Momma come true and Gookie doubled it. I am so blessed. I love everything about Hunter. He is good, kind, funny etc etc. Truly, he is AWESOME!!
This morning we were all snuggling in our bed and Brad tooted and it was awful. I said to him "that was a broccoli toot!! ugh!" and Hunter made a toot noise and said "mom that was a chicken and rice toot!" He is funny. We went to Arctic circle today and then the $1 store and he picked out a red and blue star balloon. He gave one to Gookie to share. We will be doing a joint Partay on Saturday. Happy Birthday my Hunter Boy!! I love you so much!!

Blast Off
On Monday the kiddos I work with didnt have school so I was able to get them all done during the day. It helped that Brad had that day off too. SO i was home by 4pm and my kiddos needed out of the house! So we went to blast off in Idaho Falls and they were able to run and play and play and run! Gookie found the dress up clothes and you would have thought it was the end of the world when it was time to take the "pretties" off. It was a good time. Then we went to ROSS and I got some summer dresses and my growing boy some shirts and Gookie some sandals all for the price of 1 dress anywhere else! SAWEET!
Easter
We had a wonderful Easter. I was asked to do sharing time for primary and I was given an outline that suggested having the kids or people from the ward dress up like Jesus' friends to tell their story of the Easter story. Well I wanted it to be REAL to the kids rather than "oh there's brother/sister so and so dressed up.." SO I asked my WONDERFUL friends if they would do it and the did and they were AMAZING!!! The all did such a great job. Jill was Mary Magdelene and she told how she went to the tomb and how she felt when Jesus' body wasnt there and that she then saw the Savior and her feelings and then her testimony and that by learning more of the Savior in the scriptures and through prayer, we can try to be more like Him. Then Joseph was Peter and he looked great and was great and talked about how Jesus came to the apostles and then Mike was John and talked about his feelings and his testimony. Then Bethany and her sister Julie were dressed up and they were the Nephites from the Book of Mormon and talked about their experiences there and how Jesus came to the Americas and blessed the children and they were able to touch his hands and feet. The Spirit was there and it just made it so real. Even Hunter didnt know it was really them which we all thought for sure he would be calling out their names. But instead the kids were like "Mary!" and "the nephites!" It was just a great experience because these dear friends were willing to do it and truly share their testimonies of the ressurection of Jesus Christ.
Then in the afternoon we went to Driggs and had a easter egg hunt and dinner which was DELICIOUS!! It was a good time to be together with family and friends that ARE family to us.
It was truly a great Easter.

Bear World
Last Saturday the kiddos and I went with friends to Bear world. They were having a great deal for their opening day for the season. I NEVER EVER dreamed I would be going to bear world since I have a HUGE phobia of bears. Remember how I made Hunter cary a tamborine around to play outside at my parents' house to scare away the bears?!? Yeah, I'm a so scared my thinking is NOT rational. But the things we do for our kids, especially to get out of the house.
So we all loaded up in our truck and went to bear world. YOu drive through the animals and observe from your car. When we got into the bear section my heart was beating so fast and it was a bit hard to breathe, panic attack? A little. But all the bears were sleeping. I think only one old bear was sitting up. That was a big blessing. At it was good to face them and see them and that black bears arent that scary (and i will continue the self-talk). Brad's cousin was also there and her pictures on Facebook are totally differnt from ours, when they went the bears were alert and too close for my comfort. So I am really glad the bears were all bored and sleeping when we went through.
After that part we went on some rides, the petting zoo and saw the baby bears. It was a good adventurous day, and now I have been to bear world and know it's definetely not worth full price and once is enough. I would rather go to yellowstone.
