What a week!!

This week has been so much fun for me. I was home with the kids all week (which means I work the next few days, oh well). I LOVED being home so much. Hopefully someday that will be normal. We had some good times, sad times, but mostly fun times. For FHE we went shopping and finally got the kid's Easter present, our new trampoline. Mykell LOVES it!! We don't have the enclosure up yet, but soon we will. She has had so much fun every day. She had a fever and was sick on Tues night-Thursday, but still wanted to jump. She would jump a couple times then lay down. Also new for her I cut her hair, ahhh. I don't think I did the best job, she doesn't seem to mind!

I also was FINALLY able to plant flowers and bushes in my back yard flower beds. We made the flower beds, but I was too sick last year to plant in them. I'm so excited to see them develop now. I love them so far. I also planted some bulbs, I can't wait to see how it turns out. I LOVE working in the yard. I missed it soo much last year. Now that Mykell has some fun things to do outside, it should be easier for me to be out there!

Then there is Port, he seems to have changed so much for me this week! He is officially in the four tooth club. His fourth tooth broke through earlier in the week. He is still not a crawler, but is now a climber. He can pull him self up. He only wants to stand if someone will help him. He is able to move himself on the floor (without crawling) to reach anything he wants. He cries now when I leave the room. Which can be hard, but cute as well. Because of the new climbing phase he had his first fall :( he fell of the bed and has two little sores, one by his eye, and the other above his ear. Sad!

Also this week, Elliot was able to find some parts for his new/old jeep. He got a roll bar and a back seat. He is quite proud of himself. Me well, I just loved being with my kids. It's amazing how much goes on in a week!

San Diego

Last week I was able to go to San Diego with my Mom and Sister-in-law Hannah. We had so much fun. We fit an awful lot into three days! Here are some of my highlights!!!

The first day we spent at Sea World, it was a blast. I wondered if you needed kids with you to have a good time, but we had so much fun! It is amazing what they are able to get the animals to do. I loved all the shows, it wasn't very crowded so we got around to everything in a short amount of time! Later that evening we walked around Old Town and ate at a great Mexican Restaurant!

The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo. We walked and walked and walked. I was AMAZED that we saw all of it. It was HUGE! We each had a favorite animal. Mine was the Panda's, Hannah's was the Koala Bears, and my mom's was the Giraffe!! There was a little baby Giraffe that kept running into the shelter to see it's mom then back out, it was soooo cute!

We were so exhausted after the zoo, but we went to the Temple and walked around and took some pictures. I loved it. It is truly beautiful! I am always amazed at the spirit you feel, but by being near the Temple! Then we ate dinner across the street at the California Pizza Kitchen--Yummmm!

Our last day we walked around the Beach~~~I LOVE THE BEACH!! I love the sound of the ocean, and the calmness it brings. It was beautiful and great weather! We were on Coronado Island, we walked around a bit. Did a little shopping, then grabbed lunch at a cute deli. I had so much fun. Missed my family a lot, but had a blast. Then to top it all off, Elliot and the kids surprised me and picked me up at the airport!!

More San Diego!

I forgot a couple things to add to my last post. First the beautiful scenery. I thought that San Diego was so beautiful. Here are a couple of the things I loved!

Next, we stayed in my Grandpa's house in San Diego, It was so cute and cozy! It was great to have a comfortable place to come back to each night. We loved it!

Easter

We were so happy that Easter turned out to be pretty good weather! Mykell was excited to find the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid. Their present wasn't ready yet but they had a couple little toys to play with. They looked so cute in their Easter outfits! As usual Mykell wasn't much of a picture taker that day! That afternoon we went to my parent's for and Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt! My Grandpa Dunkley came, as usual it was great to see him. Mykell loved looking for candy and Eggs with her uncles. She employed Uncle Brett as the baby holder (see the picture, it's kind of cute!). We had to hurry home so I could get to work. All in all it was a great day!

Last One!!!!

Not to be outdone by his older sister. Here is my little guy all dressed up in his Easter best!! What a cutie!!

Coloring Eggs!

Tonight we colored Easter eggs, it was SO much fun. Mykell LOVED it! This was the first year she understood and had fun doing it. Now she is so excited for the Easter Bunny to come and hide her eggs. It was a messy endeavor, but so much fun. I hope the nursery leaders understand the dirty fingers tomorrow! Even with a bath we are still stained!
