Eccles Dinosaur Park

This last week Jaden and I ventured to Ogden's Eccles Dinosaur Park. I have been wanting to go all summer but unable to figure out a time for someone to go with us, in salt lake we always had people accompany us on our adventures; but living here in eden, it;s not so easy, but I'm becoming more and more used to and completely ok with that. So Monday morning I just decided to make it a mom and Jaden date day and we headed out just the two of us!!

Jaden was SO STINKING EXCITED to see all the dinosaurs!!!
I made the mistake of making him get a little too close a little too quick though, so this next picture is not one of him trying to be a dinosaur, its more of a "mom can I get down now PLEASE!!" face!

We had such a great time, I even got a pass! I decided that Jaden and I need more days like this, here are some more pictures of our fun day!

So if you haven't been up here, it is totally worth the trip! Thanks for the date my little man!

Labor Day Weekend!

So Labor Day this year was a lot more laid back for us than usual. Partially because Shawn had been home for a week with pneumonia and partially because that's just what we needed and we had a really great time! Luckily Shawn started feeling better on Friday and so we were able to do a few things...

We started off with the BYU football game on Saturday! Jaden had so much fun watching it with Shawn and was a riot...I was impressed he lasted longer than I did! :) I think he really enjoyed the fact that he could yell at the TV with his dad! He was hilarious to watch!

Late that night my sister Rachel and her husband Lee and little girl Megan came up to stay the weekend! It was their first time up to visit in Eden and we are so glad they made the trip because we had a great time! I was terrible and didn't take many pictures though. Their little Megan is a year younger than Jaden and i think he overwhelmed her quite a bit! He just kept wanting to hug and love her! Hopefully he feels that much love for his little sister when she gets here! On Sunday we really just hung out and enjoyed the company and then on Monday we went to a few places in Eden for my bro in law Lee to shoot some cute pictures of Megan! I did snap a few of Jaden while we were out!

Like I mentioned before, Jaden is VERY into pirates, and so I had my mom pick up some pirate stuff for him at the costume shop...he's a big fan of the sword!

It was so nice to have a relaxing laid back holiday! Thanks for coming up guys! Who's next!?

I have also started to get the nursery put together thanks to Lee helping Shawn move the office downstairs so I'll post pictures of that soon!
