Barbeque Birds

When springtime showed up, we noticed some suspicious activity on our deck next to our grill. Twigs and bird poop all over the deck. So where were the birds?
We took the cover off the grill only to find this!
After a discussion with Ty about how I'd rather buy a new grill than to ruin the nest, he won and we cleaned it up. We left the cover off so they wouldn't come back to build the nest again. However, the next day we still kept seeing birds all over our deck. We thought they were just checking to see if the cover was back on so they could go back to work until we opened the grill and found this!

Easter

I have tons of pictures of Easter that are just so cute I had a hard time cutting them down. I am going to skip the descriptions though since they're all pretty self explanatory and since kids across America are all doing the same things...Easter egg hunts, dying easter eggs, wearing pretty dresses, etc. We had a great time and seriously got spoiled rotten by not just the Easter Bunny, but our own parents too! Thanks to both our families for making our Easter so much fun!

Just Some Pics

I just wanted to post a few of my favorite pictures this month. Jake is looking handsome and his big sister is always taking such good care of him.

Tony Hawk Easter Egg Hunt

How cool is this? Ty's been following Tony Hawk on Twitter and he's been giving things away recently by tweeting a location and leaving surprises there. When he tweeted that he wanted to do a world-wide "Easter Egg Hunt", Ty volunteered to help. Tony actually accepted his help and sent him two autographed skateboard decks! They even came with a certificate of authenticity. Ty's job was to hide them. He has been so excited all week. He hid one at the Clearfield Skate Park and one at the Layton Skate Park. You can read more about it on Ty's Blog. I think that's such a cool idea and we were so glad Ty was able to participate.

Whenever I Hear the Song of a Bird

Tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen!
This was actually taken in October, so Hailee wasn't quite 3 yet. I haven't been able to figure out how to put on a video, until now, so here you go.

Are we crazy?!

I didn't know I had my camera on the wrong setting this day, so sorry about the wacky colored pictures. It is kind of a true indicator of the day though. I think we were crazy. Lagoon opened this past Saturday, so we just HAD to go. It was freezing cold and raining. You can see the wet ground in all the pictures. I was actually surprised by how many people were there and how they kept all the rides open even in the rain. It was hilarious. After a couple of hours of freezing, we decided to go home and thaw out. We had a good time though.
