GOOD TIMES...

Well so much time has gone by so fast these days and with so many fun activities with friends, family and the beautiful weather we've had I thought I'd share some of my favorite things we've done these past couple weeks. Sorry it's all wrapped up in one post but if they were seperate it would be way too many at once. To start out you'll see Brooky and Spence having some wild times on his Tonka truck that they both love and push eachother in all the time. It is so cute to see her playing with her baby brother, she loves him so much and it just melts my heart!



Now that the weather has been actually nice enough to be outside that's all the kids want to do and I'm great with that especially when Brooklynn is home, she will take Spencer out and play with him and she's such a great little babysitter and teacher. One day I found myself trying to catch up on some office work while she was with him outside and I heard my name being yelled out...Mom...Mom...Mom over and over so I ran outside thinking something had gone terribly wrong.....Nope! She wanted me to see Spencer driving the little 4-wheeler all by himself...She was next to him off of it and there he was standing on the gas pedal and it was going in circles! She was so proud of herself she kept saying "mom, I taught him that!!!" That was definately one of those moments of oh man my babies are growing up aren't they...So here are some really fun pictures and video's of that....Also the next day we had Randi and Gavin over so Spencer had to teach Gavin how to drive the 4-wheeler and ride on it with him they are so cute I love that their the same age and can experience such fun times together!!!


And yes just because I know my mother is freaking out right now...don't worry mom I bought helmets the next day for them to wear while riding the 4-wheeler!;) So our next fun adventure outside was with all four of us on a beautiful Saturday...finally we've been waiting sooooo long for a sunny Saturday and it finally kind of came. It was great but ended up a little windy later on in the day but we still had time to have some fun family time in our yard before we head over to Bear Lake for the summer and don't get to use our yard much which makes me very sad but that's okay. Here are some cute pictures from that!
Daddy filled up the pool with warm water and they soaked up every minute of it....:)


Spencer has been so curious lately watching daddy fix things and always wanting to sit with him in the morning to read the newspaper. He is also finding sneaky ways to climb up to the things he can't reach and wants so badly to do just like all the big people do...



We have also had some great times at the park across the street from Grandma's house! Every Sunday after dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house we walk across the street for some great outdoor bliss! Spencer loves loves loves the slide and will go down it all day if he could! I love hearing him laugh each time and his big smile is just so great to see! Brooklynn has been enjoying it too and now has a secret tree she likes to climb with her cousin Anna! They are too cute together, finally Anna has a girl cousin to play with there's just too many boys in the Hirschi fam!



So I heard about this "fun" run for health days in Smithfield just down the road from us so we decided that would be a fun activity to do with the kids. We signed up for the 10k and expected it to be this "fun" experience. Well I guess it was fun but not the part I thought it was everything afterwards! Brian, Randi and I got up early and set out with Spencer and Gavin on our 6.2 mile run, put them in the jogging stroller, stocked up on toys and as much food as we had time to get down them. So first of all the race started late, so the boys were anxious and not liking the stroller for some reason. Then once we started we realized it's all uphill. Well the first half anyway and I have never trained to start out a race by running up hill right away, it SUCKED... So needless to say we were all wimping out, me more than anyone for some reason I just was not all there mentally that morning and I know part of it was due to our kids crying and just not happy. Spencer seemed to get better and was doing okay but not as good as I had hoped. Gavin just wasn't a happy camper and wouldn't stop crying so his mommy had to take him out and we just walked with him taking turns carrying him while Brian went up ahead. Well to make a long story short we ended up not running the whole 6.2 miles we were only 200 yards short b/c of Gavin just not wanting to be in the stroller so we decided that was okay b/c for our 1/2 marathon training that day we really only needed 4.5 miles so we took it in stride. So we finally finished and for the record Jaimee actually beat Brian at the finish line, and will probably be the one and only time b/c he had the stroller so I had an advantage of not pushing anything but hey I take what I can get, right!! Anyway we decided that if we ever run that again, we will definately either just do the 5k w/the kids so it's not as far or as long, have a better stroller, and or have someone watch them and run the 10k w/out any babies...I guess we learn from these experiences and that's all we can do! But it felt great to do it and we had a chance to see the parade, eat pancakes at the firehouse and visit Grandma Grandy at her house for a bit so all in all it was a GREAT day and thanks for being there to share the memories with Randi and Gavin we love having you around!
We've also had some fun times at our house while Gavin and Randi stay over here is a picture of there first bath together! Also here is a couple fun video's I have to share as well! Enjoy... And I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day, I know it's late but what can I say...Mom I love you and happy Mother's day to you and to you Marcile as well! You both are fabulous mother's and couldn't ask for anything more!
