bOwLiNg!

I love it when my husband is spontaneous! The other night we were just hanging out after dinner with no plans in mind. He had watched some show about people who win the lottery (and don't actually blow all of their money) and what they do with their winnings. One guy went bowling a lot. So that night he wanted to go bowling! It was Gavin's first time. He had a lot of fun and had to be Mr. Independent (as usual for him lately) and carry the bowling ball all by himself. Uncle Travis even joined us!

One of Brent's requests for our dream house is that we have a 2 lane bowling alley in the basement. I'm okay with that! Growing up in Tremonton there wasn't a whole lot to do, so we went bowling a lot! I enjoy bowling and pretty much I won this game! Wahoo!

Baby Animal Days 2009

We went to Baby Animal Days during Easter weekend with some of Brent's family. Here are A FEW (ha ha, more like 30!) pictures we took. We went last year too and we love going (especially Gavin) and so I hope this becomes a tradition!

Kids Say the Darndest Things...

My conversation with Gavin this evening as we were getting him ready for bed...

Me: Are you going to let me brush your teeth tonight?

Gavin: No, Randi

Me: Hey! It's Mom to you, little man

Gavin: No, it's Randi to me

Happy Easter!

Recent Adventures...

This is going to be a long post since I have some catching up to do, so I will try and keep it short!

I’ve decided I go through phases with blogging and facebook. Sometimes I post more on the blog and facebook gets a little neglected and vice versa. Anyway, here are a few things we’ve been up to…

In March we went to Bear Lake and stayed at one of our rental cabins with my side of the family. We had so much fun hanging out, watching movies, playing games, hot tubbing, eating, etc! We met up with Joey & Emily, Chuck & Ginger and some other friends for some sledding one day and that was good times! I think that weekend was a nice little break for all of us. Thanks to all who came and made it such a good time. Here are some pictures from the weekend… Gavin and I were able to go jeeping with our wonderful friends Sean & Wendy in Moab at the end of March. We had a great time and it was a nice break away from the cold weather. Thanks to them for being such super fabulous friends! We were sad Brent wasn't able to join us, but he was nice enough to let us go anyway! One of the days there Gavin and I got to meet up with our awesome friend Amanda Tye and hang out with her and her family for a while. Her family is the coolest! We watched her brother play in a volleyball tournament there in Moab and his team ended up winning the tournament! I was a silly goose though and didn't get any pictures with her! Doh! But here are some jeeping pictures…
Brent had a fabulous idea that we should buy season passes to Beaver Mountain while they are on sale. So we bought our’s and then Gavin’s was free! We will get him started next year, probably with skiing, and see how it goes. We went last week with Chuck & Ginger and it was interesting! I haven’t been for a long time and I’ve never been very good at it, but Brent is a pro and a very good teacher, so that helps a lot! He is so patient with me. Thanks babe! Here are a few pictures we snapped along the way…
Time to dust off the running shoes! I decided I wanted to train for something again so that I can have a goal and get back into the groove of consistently exercising. Jaimee is training for a triathlon and I was thinking of doing that with her, but I am not a swimmer and I’m afraid I would drown! So I am training with Sean & Wendy to do the Cache Valley Biathlon in June! I am excited to do something different this year instead of just running. So this course is a 5 mile run & 16.5 mile bike ride. Wish us luck!

That's all for now!
