Thomas gives a talk in primary

This is about a month late but I wanted to remember it for journaling purpose. On March 1, 2009 Thomas gave his first talk in primary. I was so proud of him standing up there and giving his talk. I cant believe how grown up he is getting it seems like just yesterday we were headed to the hospital to have him.

Here is the talk that he gave.

Family member have important responsibilities. A responsibility is a necessary job. If you dont fill your responsibilities, others may be sad.

Daddies hold the priesthood and work hard to provide for their families. My daddy works very hard building buildings. He uses his money to buy me clothes, food and toys.

Mommies work hard, too. They take care of their children and make good food to eat. My mommy cleans house and feeds me chicken and croccoli.

Brothers and sisters play with each other and ovey their parents. My brother and I clean up when our parents tell us to. Grandma's and Grandpa's help their children and play with their grandchildren.

I am thankful for my family responsibilites, I love my family.

Easter Egg hunt at Sims Library

Saturday morning we woke up and headed out to the library to see no one else but....

Mrs. Bunny

We sang songs with her.

We read stories with her.

And then we went outside and gathered easter eggs.

Six Flags Over Texas

Adam was given some free tickets to go to six flags friday night. So we loaded up the kids and headed out. We were not sure how much fun it would be for the little boys but once we got there soon realized that they are pretty much fearless and loved every minute of being there. In the past everytime we drove by six flags Thomas would say that looked so fun and he wanted to go. The reason for the free tickets was Balfour Beatty was sponsering a fund raiser and all moneys made would go to childrens medical center here in Dallas. So it was not really crowded, lines werent real long to wait in and we all had a ton of fun. We started out in the looney toon section which is where we introduced the boys to a few rides.

They got to drive a semi

They went on a ride on the looney toon train

They both loved the bumper cars. It was fun to watch all these little kids none of them really knew what they were doing, but when they would bump into each other they would all laugh and laugh and laugh.

They flew high up in to the Texas skies. Every time they would make it back over to where Adam and I was standing they would laugh and say Hi mommy and daddy. These little boys were in there element on all of these rides they loved it.

Later in the night they were able to meet Daffy duck

This picture was my very favorite for the night. Noah was so excited at different times during the night that he would hold his hands together and say "oh boy oh boy oh boy". We had just got done riding on Batmans Wings and as soon as we got off Noah was saying " lets do that agian" This ride mom and dad had to get on so the boys could ride it but they loved every minute of it. They both wanted to be high up in the sky the whole time we were in it.

I didnt get any of the pictures of the boys on the roller coasters we rode. They loved the roller coasters. Adam is very excited that his little boys love roller coasters and when they get older will go on all the rides that mom wont even think about going on them with. We also got to ride the full size train around the park and see all the big huge roller coasters from a far. When ever we asked the boys what there favorite ride was it always changed, I think it is safe to say they loved the whole experience. We look forward to going agian next year maybe even when they are a little older getting season passes. Anyone want to come along? We would love to have you.

One on One time with Mommy

Last wednesday Thomas got to go to a birthday part for a few hours so Noah and Mommy got to spend some one on one time together. This doesnt get to happen very often so when it does we have lots of fun together. So we dropped Thomas off and headed out. I asked Noah what he wanted to do and the first thing out of his mouth was go to that park. So thats where we headed first. Noah loves the park everything at the park but his most favorite thing is the Slide. He could go down the slide all day long and not get tired of it.

Noah on the Tetter Totter

Headed up the slide

Down the slide

Trying to climb up the slide this way.....didnt get to far.

Sat at the picnic table ....but just for a minute

Then back down the slide

Once we left the park we headed over and picked up daddy to have lunch together. Noah got to pick where we had lunch and his choice was....

Noah played and played and played he had so much fun. On the way back to taking daddy back to work we stopped and got Noah one of these....

We headed back to get Thomas from his party and then headed out to get the boys hair cut. We were way over due a hair cut. Headed home and then played outside the rest of the day. When it came to bedtime both the boys fell into there beds and were out before their heads hit their pillows.

P.P.E. Required Beyond This Point

Thomas and Noah both love to go and see Daddy while he is at work. There is so much to see at a big construction sight. Lots of tractors, a few really big cranes and just about anything that would intrigue a little boy. They love it when Daddy brings home his hat from work and never miss a chance to wear it. They both love there daddy so much and want to be just like him.

Noah wore Daddies hard hat around all day this day and he looks pretty darn cute in it if I dont say so myself. Maybe one day he will follow in Daddies footsteps and go to school to work in construction management!

Silly Boys

The boys are always telling me ...."Mommy, take a picture of me." So then I get out the camera and these are the faces that automaticly come out as soon as the camera shows up.

I sure do love these little boys and it never fails when ever I need a "pick me up" they are always there to make me laugh, smile or tell me I love you Mommy!
