The Turners

 
After Easter we took a trip to California and of course I forgot my camera! It was Glenda's (Randy's Mom) graduation. We had a great time seeing some of Randy's family. We are very proud of Grandma Turner and her accomplishments. After her graduation we went to dinner and their were five generations of Turners there!!! That is pretty amazing so luckily Randy's cousin Sarah took pictures and emailed them to me. In this picture is our boys,Randy, Randy's mom, grandma and great grandma. What a wonderful picture to have thanks Sarah for sending it to me.

What a Day

What a day for our little two year old! Tracey called and wanted to know if I wanted some free tickets to see the Wiggles. Of course I said yes even though Jaxon doesn't really watch them he loves to dance to music. Well, today was the concert. I had four tickets and couldn't find anyone to go with Jaxon and I so I decided I was going to force Trenton and Brayden into going. I asked them if they wanted to and they both said no it was for babies. I explained to them that they could just go to see how happy Jaxon is while watching it. They agreed but Brayden said he would not DANCE! Then I had a thought to ask Lindsey and Becca if they wanted to go and lucky for my boys they did. We did a little swap that made Trent and Brayden REALLY happy! I took Lindsey and Becca and they got to play with Trevor and Dallin. The concert was so cute! Jaxon loved it and danced and sang even if he didn't know the songs!!! Cute little Becca was memorized by the whole thing but got very excited when the ballerinas came out. We ate popcorn and had drinks and just had a fun time watching how much fun Jaxon was having made it all worth it.

 

After we got home from the concert we decided to go get Jaxon a big boy mattress. Jess and Liz were so kind to give us some bunk beds and we set it up for Jaxon, all we needed was the mattress. We headed out to RC Willey to pick one up. He was so excited as we put his sheets on. He kept handing me the blankets saying, " more mom, more." Once we got it all made he hopped right in it. I think it is the first time that he ever agreed with me to get his pjs on. He has been up oh about 4 times already so daddy is laying down with him as I am writing this. I just hope he comes and wakes me up in the morning and doesn't go downstairs to get into trouble while I am still sleeping!!!!!! What a busy and great day for our cute little Jaxon. He is growing up so fast I need to step back and remind myself to enjoy every moment. That is a hard thing to do but I am trying.

 

Slacker!!

I was going through my pictures on my computer and realized that I never posted my cute little mans preschool graduation! Yes, it was back in May! I love the ABC program they have at Valley View. Trenton went through the preschool there as well and I loved it then and still do. They put on a wonderful graduation for these kids. Randy asked me when we were sitting down waiting for it to start why they would put such a little guy, like Brayden, in the back. Well, Brayden is a little silly and they like to place the performers up in front. He knew all the songs and did great saying his part I was very proud of him. Then they called his name to come and get his diploma! It took him a little while to get up to the front because he had taken off his tie, probably in boredom, and his teacher was trying to get it from him so he could go up and get his diploma. Only Brayden!!! Then we definitely understood why he was in the back. Could you imagine him taking off his tie on the front row and messing around with it!:) Afterwards we took him to McDonalds and let him play for a little while. As he was eating his food he said, " this was the best day ever!!!" What a cutie! He brings so much joy and laughter in our lives we don't know what we would do without him.

 

Happy Birthday Cam!!!

On Monday we celebrated the birthday of our oldest son! Cameron turned 14 years old. It is amazing how fast time flies. Everyone tells you that but you don't really realize it until it happens to you! I came into Cameron's life when he was four years old. ( I am kicking myself right now because my scanner doesn't work and I can't show you what a cute little kid he was at 4!) He has always been a strong minded boy. When he doesn't want to do something there is no talking him into it. Nothing has changed except now he is a teenager! He is a great older brother and has a wonderful heart. Cameron loves to tease and loves to talk! He has always been this way I remember when Randy & I were dating we would play the quiet game A LOT! He has always had a brilliant mind. When he was in kindergarten I was helping in his class one day and they were doing a math lesson. He knew all the answers right away. His teacher would keep asking him harder ones just to see how much he knew. Right then I knew how smart he was. Well, his birthday probably wasn't exactly what he wanted. He went to California the week before and had such a great time there he came home with swimmers ear. After trying our homemade remedies Randy ended up taking him to the doctor the morning of his birthday. They gave him some antibiotics and ear drops then told him he couldn't swim for 10 days. There went the plans to take him to the lake that day! So we asked him what he wanted to do instead and this is how it went. He wanted to go see Transformers 2 for the third time, then go to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. We ended up at Rob and Liz's house were some of the Robbins family was for family home evening. We had chocolate cake and the best ice cream. (from Uncle Robs's ice cream machine) He didn't want any presents for his birthday but money. So that is what he got, TEENAGERS :)! It was a great day and we can't imagine our life without Cameron in it. Happy Birthday Cam I hope it was a good one!!!!!
