Vegas...

Went to Vegas last weekend with some good friends and had such a good time. After reviewing their recap of the weekend I don't even want to try and give you the run down of our trip. So...I stole a pic from their blog and if your interested in our adventures in Vegas, here is their blog...it really was a good time with lots of laughs some good food, and one freaky celeb sighting.

UPDATE:

Just had to share that the doctor Mike saw about his hand apparently is not familiar with x-rays...Got a call from the radiologist and his hand IS broken. I would say poor guy, but not much sympathy from me. Silly boys....don't punch walls!

If you were at our house this last week...

you would have witnessed the following:

1. ME GETTING IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN MIKES WORK CAR & THE OTHER PERSON NOT STOPPING

2. MIKE PUNCHING A BRICK WALL AND POSSIBLY BREAKING HIS HAND

3. ME STEPPING ON A RUSTY NAIL WHILE DOING YARD WORK

4. A DOCTORS VISIT FOR ME AND MIKE INCLUDING 2 TETNUS SHOTS AND 1 X-RAY (NO BROKEN HAND)

5. BIRD EGGS HATCHING IN A NEST INSIDE OUR GRILL

6. OUR YARD FINALLY FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the events that are picture worthy...

BBQ anyone??

The front yard

My flower pots I did

Our back yard- I know our yard may not seem like anything special but it sure beats hanging out in the dirt...yay for grass!

And finally my patio furniture I cashed in on for Mothers Days. I also got a little fire pit so we can make smores every night! :)

It's Been Awhile..

Haven't posted for awhile. I'm awful at taking pictures, and I'm sure the two people that are even remotely interested in our blog have moved on. But I will amuse myself and post something just to make myself feel better that someone is interested. What has been going on? A few weeks ago I went on a girls trip with my mom, grandma, aunt and three cousins to Seattle...with no kids. It was glorious! We had so much fun, we spent 8 hours downtown the first day just walking around, shopping, eating ice cream, listening to people on the street sing and play instruments. I LOVE pretty much everything about Seattle, and I realize how homesick I am when I go home. I will try and get some pictures posted of that trip. Other than that... since I have been home we have been hard at work on our yard. Who would have thought cement curbing could make me giddy?! And last but definitely not least, American Idol. This is who has my vote...although sometimes the way he moves his mouth when he sings bugs me, I'm still a fan.

P.S. Highlight of the week so far-I think Jaxon has finally agreed that potty training might not be such a bad idea. I know, he's 3...please don't judge!

Fun Weekend

We have had such a great weekend so far. Last night Mike and I celebrated our 5th anniversary (a week early) cause I will be in Seattle on our real anniversary...OOPS! So I surprised him with a night at Destinations in and we had so much fun. We went out to dinner to one of our favorite little places, the food was great, the hotel was great. No pics from our anniversary..of course not. WHY would I want to take any pictures? I really need to get better at that. But I did manage to remember to take my camera to the park. I love this picture

Crew and Mike enjoying the sun

Although Crew spent most of his time at the picnic table-eating is WAY better than playing

Jaxon on the other hand was very busy and wore Mike out chasing him around


Waiting for the merry go round and admiring the train


Pretty much an impossible task to get both boys looking at the camera at the same time

Jaxon with his treats from the Earth Day Celebration

Worn out after a long day. He loves to suck that finger!

13.1

That is how many miles I ran the first weekend in April. I did my first half marathon in Provo, in the snow and wind. I wasn't too sure about how much fun I was going to have and the weather definitely didn't add to my excitement. But to my surprise I actually had a lot of fun. I ran with Mikes sisters Jessica and Lauri, his cousins Kristi and Ashlely and our sister in law Nicole. So here are some pictures.
P.S. Yes those are tu tu's we are wearing and yes we did wear them the entire race. My goal was to get under 2:30 and I came in at 2:24!
Before the race..getting ready
The whole group right before the race at the hotel
Nicole and I at mile 10 I think-She was nice enough to stay with me even though I know she could have kicked my butt!
All the Wilder girls after the race.

Big Boy Stuff

Jaxon started preschool just once a week and today was his first day. He was all pumped up for his first day...he had his Lightening McQueen backpack on..he was ready...

unfortunately his tuned changed when he realized big boys don't take their moms to preschool. It was a rough first day.

Had to add a few of this little guy..should I be concerned about the amount of drool this guy produces? I don't think he's had a dry shirt in his life!
