Family Camp Out!
We went camping a few weeks ago with a couple of Aaron's brothers and their families (Ryan & Becky and Kris & Michelle). We had such a great time. It was a little chilly, but we didn't freeze too bad. The boys most favorite thing in the world now is throwing rocks in the river. I am asked daily by Colton if we can "go fro woks in da wiver". They can seriously do it for hours. We went to Guadalupe State Park a couple weeks ago with the kids and Colton and Wyatt were in heaven just throwing rocks in the river. It's the one time it's okay to throw rocks.

Easter!
Updated....at last! We have a lot to share! Hope you all enjoy!
We enjoyed Easter weekend and the time we had to spend with family and reflecting on our Savior Jesus Christ!
Parent Daughter Date!
Aaron and I took Caylee on a Parent Daughter Date! The boys stayed home with a babysitter. We had so much fun! We went out to dinner at Cracker Barrel, then we went Bowling and played air hockey, video games, basketball toss and other games at the arcade, and then we had ice cream at McDonalds! It was so nice to have some time just with Caylee!
Our wonderful friends, the Cook Family, who moved last year, were able to come and visit during spring break. It was so good to see them and how much their kids have grown. The three little handsome guys are only weeks apart, in fact Gunner and Hayden (the two on the ends) are only a couple days apart. We all had a great time at the park playing and having lunch together! We miss you Cook Family!
American Idol!
We really like playing American Idol on the Wii! So do Caylee and Colton. Colton obviously can't read but he likes to sing his own versions of the songs!
Working at the Car Wash!
The kids decided to help Aaron was the cars. I'm sure you can all guess how much help they really were! But in the end everyone had a great time! Well at least the kids did.
Hanging out with Emily and Ashley!
My sisters Emily and Ashley were able to come to San Antonio for spring break! We had a fun time playing and hanging out. We even went on a trip to the zoo. We sure do miss them!
Playing in the mud!!!
Our neighbor accidentally left their hose on for hours and the water drained right down the middle of our backyard like a little stream. The kids went crazy splashing, sliding, and playing in the mud. They had such a great time...I was tempted to jump in and join them...but decided to be the photographer instead.

Roast Beef and Avocado Wraps!
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and we loved it. Aaron walked in from work when I was just finishing up and couldn't resist how yummy they looked. He thought they looked so beautiful, he had to take a picture. And then once I realized how much my family loved them, I thought I'd share the recipe with all of you! Hope you enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
6 tomato and oregano tortillas
6 lettuce leaves - rinsed and dried
12 slices deli sliced roast beef
1 avocado, cubed
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
DIRECTIONS
Mix the cream cheese, cumin, garlic, and chili flakes in a bowl until well blended.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, dividing evenly. Place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla, and top with two roast beef slices. Sprinkle evenly with avocado, tomatoes, and cheese. Starting at one end, gently roll up each tortilla into a tight tube. Slice in half diagonally and place two pieces on 6 serving plates.
I think there's something wrong with this picture?
Okay, as most of you know Colton is all boy! He loves cars, trucks, monsters, dinosaurs, you know, the usual. Well recently he has added guns and shooting to the list, which I'm not thrilled about. But it's not hard to figure out where he gets it from...being that his Dad has recently taken up Paintballing as a hobby! And of course Colton has been dying to use Aaron's paintball gun. So Aaron let him play with it...WITHOUT PAINT BALLS! Caylee got a kick out of it as well!
There is a little video clip at the end of the photos, there isn't much said but if you want to pause the music on my playlist there is a pause button on it. And that might be useful to those of you who don't like my choice of music!
Our Cutie Boy!
Wyatt is getting so big! He is such a little cutie! We all love giving him hugs and kisses....although it drives him crazy. He's getting pretty rough and tough. Unfortunately he learns a lot from Colton about how to bully! Now he's getting smart about when to make his attack on Colton. He waits until I'm changing Colton's diaper (yes, he still isn't potty trained! My goal is by the time he's three) and then he body slams him and sits on him laughing until Colton is done and then Wyatt hurry and runs! It's so funny to watch!.JPG)

Colton the Photographer!
Colton was playing with my camera and decided to become a photographer. Caylee got a couple shots in too. I thought some were pretty good, and others were just hilarious! So be prepared for the genius work of a two year old when looking at these!
Caylee Lost her First Tooth!
Well the big news at our house is that Caylee lost her first tooth. It came out right in the middle of sacrament meeting at church. She was so excited! Her adult tooth was already coming in before her baby tooth came out! We went to the dentist this week and the x-ray showed a lot more ready to pop out anytime!

Just hanging around!
We had a very wet, cold, Saturday! We were cooped up in the house for most of the day! It was nice to have some relaxing down time to hang out with the family!
Summer in February????
Early last week we had some very warm, summer like weather. Caylee thought it would be fun to put on swimming suits and play in the water hose. So that's just what we did. And the kids had a great time!
