Julien is 5!!!

Julien is 5!!!  I cannot believe it!  He is getting so big, so fast!  Julien is such a sweet kid and so much fun! He is always asking questions and wanting to learn new things.  He loves to play games or make up his own.  His 2 favorite games right now are chess and battleship!  He started a new preschool here in Arizona and is doing really well.  He has started to read and is always trying to figure out what things say.  He is still really tall and skinny and growing everyday!  He has learned to ride a bike without training wheels and just started playing t-ball.  He is a really fun kid and we have noticed how other kids always seem to like him and want to be his friend.  He has lots of little admirers in his preschool class and has found a few kids in the neighborhood that he loves to play with.  Happy 5th Birthday Julien!
Anabelle, Amelia, Amy, Grandma Allie and Papa all came to visit and party with Julien!  Lucky boy!

Just woke up and opening presents from Grandma Allie and Papa because he couldn't wait until his party!
Legos!

                                 And his favorite present...a scooter!  He rides it everywhere!

Lego Party!
Julien wanted a Lego cake so I had him make things out of his Lego's to put on his cake. So cute!


Pin the head on the Lego man!
Julien's first baseball glove and ball...just in time to start T-ball!



Julien's favorite part...pinata!

I love Julien in the background of this one! Haha!
Candy!

The kids are still picking up candy and Kai already has a sucker in this mouth...typical!

San Diego and Legoland

We have been wanting to take a trip to California and see the beach so we decided to go to San Diego while Kristy was here.  Julien has been really into Lego's lately so we decided that we would take him to Legoland for his birthday while we were in San Diego.





 LOVE Landon's face in this pic...so focused!





 Haha!
 Totally smoked everyone in the firetruck race!  1st place!!!

 Finally got to visit my FAVORITE temple! SO beautiful!!!


 Love him!
Can't find our beach pics!!!  :(  So sad!  It was beautiful!  We all LOVED the beach and wished we had more time to play there!

A Dream Come True

I have always wanted to go skydiving and finally decided to just do it!!!  I am SO glad I did!  I LOVED every second of it!!!  I did not want to go by myself and Landon and I decided that couples with children just don't skydive together so I called Kristy and knew that she would go with me!  I scheduled our jump about a month before and for the first few nights after that I was really nervous and would wake up at night super excited but really nervous at the same time.  I think I got all my nervousness out those first few nights because after that I was not very nervous and I did not feel nervous again until the door or the plane opened and I was hanging halfway out...that is a feeling I will NEVER forget!


 Ready to go!!!

 The ride up!
 Good Luck Kristy!
 Hanging out of a plane...in the sky...no big deal!












SO much fun!  I LOVED it!!!

Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

 Candy before 8AM... yes please!  Haha!

New Years

We came home just before New Years so we spent New Years Eve with just our little family.
We had a dance party! The boys were our rock band!


We told Julien he could stay up with us until Midnight.  Around 9:30 he started to fade so we watched the ball drop live with New York and celebrated a little early.  He was excited for New Years just not for the picture  :)
