Easter Weekend 08

The kids got to go to 3 egg hunts, and made off with a haul of candy! Each grandma had a fun egg hunt for them. Grandma "M" had a egg hunt for the adults (she says it is bribery to get us to come to her house), Jayson happened to win the Silver EGG with a wad of money! We had a nice dinner, and Jenna and Gavyn and cousin Libby Fed horses with grandpa!

On Saturday, we took the kids to see Horton Hears a Who. They loved it, and it was so fun to spend time with the kids, after our trip! They say the darnedest things and make us laugh!






Baylee, and I went to GOOD THINGS UTAH on Friday. It was fun and Baylee had a great time with all the Girls. Then, we were off to GARDNER-VILLAGE for lunch and some serious shopping.

Nicea, Marti, Reagan, and Angie were beautiful and so put together. They were so sweet to Baylee and paid her many compliments. We got to be on TV, which Baylee loved. I have decided these ladies have the best JOB ever. What a Life!!! They get to eat all the great food(they were always munching!), chat, meet great people, and get all new and upcoming great things. They all have personal trainers, hairdressers, wardrobe specialist. What else could you ask for....... and they get paid to do it!! We got tons of prizes and LOOT. We are definitely going again!

To top it all off we got together with the Cannon's, and took the kids to the Dino Park. They had a ball playing, digging, hunting for eggs, laughing and giggling!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend filled with excitement. We hope you all had a great Easter weekend too!

We're Back...from our 7 island adventure!

It was amazing! Ok...Ok... Ok... So, for the last 2 days I have been working on a preview of our trip. Bear with me while I share some pics...ok so I took 900 pictures (I know, I think I may be crazy, just be glad you are not seeing them all!). Thank heavens its digital, because film would have put me in the poor house! Anyway to make a long story short, I started with a slideshow, and couldn't get it to load after hours of uplaoading, so then I went back to posting them straight to the blog, and after seeing it was going to take up a whole years worth of space, I went back to slides. I am not computer savy,.. and I am just about ready to scream!!!!! So, indulge me and have fun looking at all the fun things we did. It is a wild mess..(the post), but the TRIP was amazing and beautiful. Just what we both needed. We spent hours resting and relaxing, and the best part was no tooth-ache phone calls! We couldn't have asked for anything else! We saw amazing islands and cruised the ocean in a gigantic ship! The sunsets on the ship were amazing and so peaceful!


So, I just have to share about my hubby and how he was offered "weed" by random islanders comming up to him on three seperate occacions/islands. My freinds and I just laughed and we have attributed it to his looks, and his GOOD sole patch on his chin. He does looks a little wild, and doesn't fit the typical DENTIST mold!!!! Maybe he does look like a weed smoking fool!!!!!! We thought that his sole patch was the only reason why he would be saught out instead of anyone else. Funny huh! They were in awe when he turned them down each time. So.. that was his first offer, and hopefully his last. He is always trying to be a rebel with attire and looks.


We had a ball with our friends Pat and Angie Cannon. We had amazing food...(well, there was endless food, but a little too fancy pants for me and Jays, we like good old fashion All American Food), we spent hours having good laughs, and lots of chillin' in the beautiful Caribbean! Oh what fun Memories!

So we spent time on seven diffrent islands. We flew into San Juan, and then we were off to St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, and St. Kitts.

The water was amazingly beautiful color, and the beaches were to die for on St. Thomas and St. Kitts. We snorkled with turtles and fish, kyacked the ocean in Barbados. In Antigua did a zip line through the rainforest (one of Jayson's favorites!). We saw amazing forts, volcano's, and we hiked and swam in hidden waterfalls. The scenery was lush and green with amazing flowers (true rainforest). Jayson and Pat had a ball body surfing, and spent hours watersliding on the ship! Angie and I, had some great shopping at each port.

We had unbelievable walks on the beach together. I absolutely fell in love with my cute hubby all over again! We had cherished talks, and just enjoyed being together. I absolutley loved his 100% attention, and being together every waking moment! It was very romantic and I suggest everyone takes a special trip with their spouse!


So, this was another thing that totally made my day, and you would be suprised how hard it was to find my Diet Coke on the islands! It was CRAZY! I love a good diet COKE! I got lots of crap because I was always wanting my favorite drink!


When it comes to Favorites I loved St. Lucia It was breathtaking! This is where Pirates of the Caribbean II was filmed. The kids loved that we had been there!




Megan Bay on St. Thomas was rated top 5 beaches in the world! It was awesome! The sand was white and the water was soo blue!




We toured a historical Fort in San Jaun. It was high on a hill and the arches and arcitecture was breathtaking!



Another breathtaking SUNSET... (Quiet and peaceful.... and SOO romantic!!!!!)

We are back to reality now, and I could have spent a few more weeks there, but we both started to miss the kids. We are already missing the warm tempatures! A special THANKS to GMA and GPA Haws, Jen, and the aunts, for being amazing babysitters while we were gone! I came home to a potty-trained Gavyn, who is now sleeping in his bed. I think we should go away more often. We had a wonderful time on our trip and we will treasure our fun memories FOREVER!

And We're Off.....

To the Sunny Caribbean to RELAX, REJUVENATE, REFLECT, AND REFRESH!
We will miss our sweet little kids, but know they will be in good hands. They are mostly excited about what kind of treasures and souvenirs we will bring them back!

Tagged AGAIN! This time by Jacque........(MY SWEET LITTLE KIDS)

4 Things you may not know about GAVYN.....



1. He absolutely adores his father. They have a special bond only father and son can have. He loves to be with him, and everyday asks to go and visit his dad at his dental office for LUNCH. He can usually talk his father into going to "DONALDS" or out to get pizza, the latest thing is they get corn dogs (YUCK!) He is a carbon copy of his father and Jayson loves every minute of people saying G-man (a nick name from dad!) looks just like him. I love his big brown eyes!

2. His best friend next to Dad is Jenna. They can play for hours everyday. It is so cute to watch them play. Jenna is great to involve him and listen to his cute little words. It cracks me up the things he says.... Like...Mom I got the hiccups, can I spit these hiccups out?

3. He is BOY through and through. He loves to ride the four wheeler with dad, and is aways requesting to "go faster dad"!. He has been nicked named "Tool MAN" by grandpa Haws! He can fix about anything, or so he thinks, with some type of tool (stolen from dads tool pile). He loves to wrestle, jump and climb.... he is always so happy and full of energy. It tires me out just watching!

4. He absolutely is crazy over Spiderman. He begs to watch the movie over and over and can not seem to get enough of it...we even have to take it and watch it in the car! I know, I know, it isn't the best movie for a 2 year old, but he loves it! He has every outfit ever made for Spiderman, and is usually wearing it under his clothes everyday. Yes, I would say he is obsessed!, but... it is so cute and I love it when he make the web sound and shoots his arms out!

All about JENNA 4 things you may not know!




1. She loves horses! She has every color of stuffed horse and every size of stuffed horse ever made. The only thing she is missing is a real horse! Thank heavens for Jesse and Gma M and for letting her claim their horses as her own. She is a cowgirl at heart and loves to wear her sassy pink cowgirl boots. She plays her Nintendo DS, HORSE game and, takes good care of feeding,riding, and grooming "Sally" all day long. We should surprise her and get her a real horse. (What else are we going to do with all this land). Maybe the horse could eat the 5 arcers of weeds! Jenna....keep working on your dad, he will eventually give in!

2. Jenna love to color and draw. She spends the majority of her time at the counter drawing. She loves to create "books" and is always thinking of special people she can give her master pieces to. I usually am the special recipient of them and I love them, especial when she explains all the little details. You know how you sometime underestimate how smart your kids are. She picks up on everything. Jenna doesn't miss a beat and is observant in all things. She is our firecracker! Oh how we love Jenna! She keeps us on our toes!

3. She is all about fashion! She loves to dress herself... you should see the things she comes up with. She changes her clothes at least twice everyday. , even when mom says NO! She loves skirts and PINK (the color of Princesses!) You will usually see her in a hat (even at church), because she absolutely hates getting her hair done and whines about it until mom gives in and stuffs a hat on her head and a big old flower. (Thanks Chloe Reese... You make moms life so much easier!) She totally pulls it off with out a hitch, everyone loves the hat look! More power to you girl! She has defiantly got the attitude to go with it all!

4. Her favorite food is PB and JELLY and Easy Mac and Cheese. She could eat his at every meal. Oh yes, and let us not forget the HOTPOCKETS! Don't worry she does like something healthy......GRAPES!

MISS BAYLEE in a Nutshell.. 4 things you may not know!



1. She is becoming quite the guitar player! She is doing a bang-up job at it! She likes to take her guitar to perform at school, for show and tell, talent shows, Church....yes, and even in scary sacrament meetings. I hope she sticks with it! She is talented!

2. Baylee absolutely loves school, and looks forward to going each day! She loves to learn and is always wanting to know more (she gets that from her father)! Her teacher, MRS. BARRUS often comments of her ability to lead her classmates, and her friendship to everyone! She excels in learning.... and just may be the next dentist in the family! She is very artsy(Detailed in art and very crafty) and is always creating... I am sure she gets that from her mother!:)

3. She has always been a princess, you know dainty and royal, but not when it comes to her new found love of soccer. According to her teachers and others at school she is out playing soccer at every break and every lunch period. From what I hear it is mostly boys that play, with her and a couple other girl as the exception. I often ask her..."Doesn't it hurt when you get kicked, or hit with the ball?" Her reply is simply....."It is all just part of the game mom, you can't cry like a baby or girl!" She may be our next soccer star on the US girls soccer team! Watch out!

4. Baylee has a killer voice! She loves to sing and even at a young age she would hear a song on the radio once and would have the words memorized by the next time she heard the song again. She just did a duet for a school program just last week. She is a total music junky and can jam to any type of music, but she especially loves Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and Taylor Swift! She sings like a bird! If she is not talking your ear off, she is singing a song.
