Check Up #2

Mason's second checkup at the docotor's office, we are waiting patiently for him and having a great time, can't you tell!

Mason asked the doctor if he could have a new cast on. He wanted to have a Batman Blue cast instead of a Wolverine Yellow. The doctor said that it would be okay to change his cast. Here is Mason waiting for his new cast! The nurse had just came in and cut off the old cast with the "Tickle Machine". Mason was very brave while the nurse cut off his cast. He was pretty careful with his wrist being exposed while waiting patiently to get a new one on.

I kept watching Mason, wondering why he kept rubbing his nose aginst his arm and he said, "My arm smells funny mom!"

Here is the kids most favorite doctor, Dr, Richie! He is great and is wonderful around kids. Last year, when Lydia broke her arm, she made Dr. Richie a card that had a horse in a bed of flowers. He still has that card and brought it in to show Lydia that he still has the card she made him. She was really excited to see he kept her card she made him.

THE GARDEN

So my neighbor, Mary Beach and I, planted a garden on Memorial Weekend and we are finally getting blossoms and vegetables. It has really been a different spring with lots of rain, and extreme changes in hot and cold weather. But as you can tell our garden has survived! Thanks to Mary for watering our garden faithfully, without her watering the garden there would have been no chance of it surviving. (I am not very good at staying home to water!)

So with as much fun as the kids and I had in Idaho, Mason had one incident. He fell off the tramp and broke his wrist. He has really been a trooper with his wrist being broken. Nothing will get into Masons way, just ask him. He still does tricks and runs fast and can pull the trigger on his nerf gun with his foot. He is finding creative ways to get around his broken wrist. He is a very smart little guy!

No they didn't eat the cookie dough! They wouldn't do such a thing, no way!

There was lots of playing at Keean and Heidi's house Lydia played dress up with Madisons clothes and boy did she have a lot of costumes!

We had a Baby Shower for my sister Katie this last weekend, but the crazy thing of it is, I was so busy helping with the shower I didn't get any pictures! Sad! However, we did have a lot of people come to the Baby Shower and we made Hairbows, which was really a big hit with Madison and Lydia. We also played a few nursery rhyme games. And of course, had nursery rhyme themed finger foods. It was really fun and Katie really got a lot of nice baby gifts.

The Fourth of July was really fun! We went to the Provo Parade and the Fair. We had a picnic at the park. Then to the Sierra Pool for swimming and later that night FIREWORKS! Lydia and Mason were so excited for Fireworks!

Later that evening, we had a barbeque and fireworks with our neighbors, Mary and Adam Beach! They are awesome neighbors and we have a lot of fun together. Especially when Lydia, Mason, Jack and Logan can play. They have a fun time together and the fireworks were a hit!

Sunday July 3rd was when Kingston was blessed!

While at the baby blessing I took a Dunford 4 generation picture.

Fourth of July weekend was packed with fun! On Saturday, July 2nd, we spent the day with Aunt Julie and went swimming and had dinner. Julie is awesome!

Mason caught a fish with his pole and didn't even know it!

The kids are fishing with Papa Randy!

The summer time is full of parades! We could go to a parade every weekend if we wanted to. Lexi was in the Lehi Parade, so we went to see her!

FEBRUARY 2011
This was the kids first time seeing the ocean. We went to Surf Side Beach and Laguna Beach. It was awesome to really play in the sand and have the waves hit our feet.

This was our first time flying together in an airplane! The kids were so excited to fly and they talked about it for days!

Disneyland was so fun! There was so much to see and do that we will be going back again and hopefully soon!

Seaworld was awesome! We enjoyed our day with shows and seeing the different sea animals!






The kids have so many memories of our trip to California this year that we really want to keep a tradition of going again soon. Thumbs up for the fun time at Disneyland, Seaworld and the Ocean!
