Little Handyman

We have a great little helper on our hands! He loves to help with chores around the house. He's always right there with me when I am doing laundry and dishes, but helping Daddy is his favorite probably because Dad uses tools when he is doing projects and what 2 and a half year old boy doesn't love getting his hands on some tools?!

Here are some cute pictures I got of Clayton helping Sean hang curtains. Ladders are another thing this little man just can't resist! 

We moved... again!

Sean and I have been married for over 5 and a half years and we just finished our 10th move!

Talk about nomadic! 

When we moved to Pocatello last year and found a place to live, we knew we didn't want to stay in those apartments the whole time he was in school here... so we have been on the search for something that would work better for our family and still be affordable on our student/part time worker's income.

We found a duplex in a great neighborhood with an attached garage, A/C, and a fenced backyard! 

We are here to stay, well until graduation in 3 years at least.

High fives all around for the possibility of staying in the same place for more than a year!

Easter

HAPPY EASTER!

Clayton woke up and found his Easter basket waiting for him in the living room. He was so excited about the cars, school bus, and semi truck inside that he didn't even care about the candy!

Later we went to Brad and Tif's house so he could have an easter egg hunt with his cousins. He loved it! He was so fast at finding the eggs, it was a big change from last year when we had to point every egg out for him.

Here are a couple of pictures from the easter egg hunt, I kinda failed in the picture department but I think you get the general idea...

Hogle Zoo

The next day we went to the zoo. It was a warm day and all the animals were out so we could see them. It was lots of fun. Clayton loved the monkeys, and climbing around on all the statues and rocks. 

Dinosaur Park

Since it's spring break and Sean doesn't have school this week we decided to go down to Utah for a couple of days and hit up the dinosaur park and the the zoo. 

It was fun to get out of the the house and finally enjoy some spring weather! 

Clayton loved the dino park, his favorite part was the indoor exhibit because the dinosaurs moved and made sounds.

The park was awesome! There were tons of dinosaurs to see and some short hiking trails that were perfect for little ones. They also had some fun play areas with slides and swings. We really liked it! 

Blue

BOY, OH BOY! We are excited to have another little man around here!!!

Oh, so Cute

This little man is a silly one. He has been saying some funny things these days.

Here are a couple of things he says that we think are cute:

pigging bank = piggy bank

ados cha-cho = adios muchachos

poke chop = pork chop

tracker = tractor

dune-it-gin = do it again 

The other day I was taking pictures of him and the camera screen was facing him so he could see himself and he was making all kinds of faces then he tells me "oh, so cute!" about himself!

He was right about that! Here are the pictures:

He was playing around on a chair at the kitchen table and coming close to falling out of the chair... here is the conversation that followed:

Me: "Stop doing that Clayton, you are scaring me."

Clayton: "ROAARR! Are you scared?!"

I was making mashed potatoes (one of his favorites!) He came in the kitchen and saw what I was making and he yells "YAY! I'm SO excited!!" while jumping up and down

He was in the bathtub, I heard this conversation between him and Sean:

Sean: "Ok buddy, it's time to get out and get your pjs on."

Clayton: "Ummm, not yet." very matter of fact, as if he is in charge around here! :) 

He was trying to pull a keychain off of the ring and he said "ugh, too heavy!"

Here are some more recent pictures of our little man:

Here is a cute video of him doing his frog hop :)
