The water feature is always a big attraction, I'm so grateful they have ponchos.
Johnny and Henry love dressing up as firemen
Aunt Melinda is always so sweet and helpful with the kids, even when they're a little wild. We had lots of fun Henry and Melinda, thanks for inviting us!
We joined the mini-van club. The kids love it, I love it, and Brad is great at washing it!
Johnny is very good at helping with dishes
Sad that it's blurry, but Johnny was very excited to give his Great Grandma Tate a big hug
And of course, another cake to celebrate.
So the party for Johnny's birthday really started the day before his actual birthday. Brad's mom was in town, and she stopped by to give Johnny his presents. As you can see, he was so excited he couldn't even wait to get inside before opening them up.
He loved everything he got, and was especially excited about getting a "joker soaker," just like Norman Price.
Mom and Dad got him a few puzzles and play dough toys. This kid loves puzzles. The big highlight from us was definitely his Mr. Potato Head, or as he likes to call him, "stick-up guy"
We hit up the Pirate Island for a fancy dinner.
Johnny who always talks about eating here, was of course terrified of any and all pirates he saw, but he still had fun. He was especially happy that Aunt Melinda, Uncle Daniel, and Henry came too.
After dinner the kids had fun playing on the pirate ship
And playing on the other toys they had as well
After dinner we headed home to sing to our birthday boy. Uncle Daniel bought Johnny some delicious cupcakes, and Johnny didn't need any help blowing out his candles.
Johnny and Bela had fun finding the eggs and candy, but got a little distracted and played on the toys after they'd each found a few eggs.
Then in the afternoon we met up with my parents at BYU before heading out to lunch.
Johnny and Bela always love hanging out at Daddy's school.
After Easter dinner at Melinda's house on Sunday, we stopped by my parents hotel to say good-bye. Johnny is hard at work showing my parents how much he loves coloring.
We had such a fun weekend and were so happy to be able to spend time with family.
The long-awaited day has finally arrived!! Brad completed his master's degree from BYU. It is so strange to think he will never be a student again, and yet so wonderful to never have to worry about homework, projects, studying and tests anymore.
We appreciated so much that Brad's parents and his brother Daylen, as well as my parents, were all able to attend his graduation. A very special thanks to my sister and her husband for watching Johnny and Bela during the ceremony so I could actually enjoy myself and cheer on my man.
These rascals had gone into the kitchen, gotten into the peanut butter, and were having a great time rubbing it all over themselves and the kitchen floor. Please also note Johnny is wearing his sister's coat, he'd been pretending to be "baby Bela" earlier. They make me laugh because of the silly things they do, and also because in order to get the picture, they both insisted on sitting on the chairs. You can't really tell in the picture, but Bela, who I'd just barely bathed, had tons of peanut butter smeared in her hair. Well, better they did it in the kitchen than the living room, right?
