CJ's new word
CJ and I got to go play at Grandma's house all day today. We had lots of fun! But the cutest part was the new word CJ said when we were getting ready for dinner. Uncle Tyson was talking to CJ and keeping him in his seat while I was getting his food ready, then when I started putting on his bib and setting everything up Tyson went downstairs for something, but CJ still wanted him upstairs so he starts yelling, "TYS, TYS, TYS"! I thought it was so cute. He was actually calling Tyson by his name!

Easter Weekend
For Easter we went up to my parents for the weekend. The first thing Grandpa wanted to do was show CJ an owl that was sitting on a nest near their house. We went and set up the spotting scope and this is what we saw...
CJ really liked seeing another owl. Grandma and Grandpa also found a stuffed animal owl for CJ gave it to him after we went to see the owl. He now sleeps with it every night.
The next fun thing we got to go do was feed the neighbors horses some carrots. CJ even got to pet one.
That night we colored eggs. There were a lot of owls and a few other fun things. My favorites were Daddy's helicopter and train, my brothers penguin, and I really liked seeing what CJ drew. He told us that it was a kitty, some banana's and a helicopter.
Easter Morning:
The first thing he got was the movie "The Princess and the Frog", which he loves to watch as long as we skip the first half hour where there aren't any frogs.
The next thing he found was his helicopter. He loves to fly the helicopter around the house and is always very very sad when it has to let the bateries recharge. CJ has been practicing flying the helicopter and does a good job all by himself.
The best part of Easter was the candy. (at least for CJ) He kept trying to grab candy from everyone elses baskets. He even learned how to unwrap the chocolates by himself.
I just thought this picture was cute. CJ was giving Grandpa loves with his pooh bear and owl, after all the excitement of finding easter baskets.

Easter Morning:Our Easter Bunny always hides our baskets. So CJ got to look for his and he was very fast at finding where it was. He was super excited about all the presents inside.

Meet Mr. D and Dumbo
For Easter CJ got some frogs from his grandma and grandpa. He likes to watch them swim around and has to show everyone who comes to our house. He even named them himself. He told me the first one was "D" and the next one was "Bo" (that is how he says Dumbo). And he has kept the same names for them, I ask him everyday what the frogs names are and he always answers the same. I love hearing him tell me about them, he has had so much fun with his first pets.
Cool Dude!
We went shopping with CJ this week and I found some really cute Lightning McQueen sunglasses for him. We have been telling him he is a cool dude when he wears them. He really likes to wear them when we are in the car because he doesn't like when the sun is in his face.

Update
I have just a few little stories and pictures to update everyone on what we have been up to lately since I have been really bad at posting the last few weeks.
1) CJ decided one morning that he needed to workout. He use to work out with Daddy in the mornings until School started. And he was working out really well until I pulled out the camera. After that all he wanted to do was look at the pictures of "The baby" (CJ) so he was really sad when I told him to play with the weights again.
2) A few weeks ago CJ had an eye infection and he wasn't feeling good one day so we were watching Dumbo. While we were watching CJ decided that he needed a tent to lay in. So we built a tent and a bed for him. After about five min. he didn't want to lay down anymore because he couldn't breathe so he stood by his tent instead.
3) I bought CJ some bathtime markers because I wanted something new to do in the tub. Well CJ loved them and we do them almost every time we take a bath. He is becoming quite the artist. And last night he found out that he can color on himself. He had blue, red, and green marks all over his arms, legs and tummy. He looked like a little indian boy. :) I just wish I had the camera with me.
4) New Shoes! CJ finally got new shoes. And now he is into the little boy shoes. While we were looking he didn't really care what shoes he got, they just had to be blue. Here he is showing off his new shoes.

Weekend in Smithfield
This past weekend we went up to visit my parents in Smithfield. CJ had a blast he got to see so many new things and he loved every min. The first night we got to go with my Dad's friend up the canyon and feed some wild turkeys. We got to see about 30 turkeys. CJ thought they were really cool and wanted to go right up to them and touch them. He didn't understand that the turkeys were wild animals and didn't know how to be around little boys. When we got back CJ took a walk with grandma and grandpa and they decided to make the leaves float down the water in the gutter. CJ loved doing that and he even thought he should go swimming in the water. He pants were all wet! After that we went to see Daddy's parents at their hotel (they came up for the weekend also) and we got to go swimming. CJ didn't like the water at first. It was really really cold. But once mommy and Uncle D were cold and done swimming CJ wanted to stay and kick his feet in the water. We pulled him away with the promise of a warm bath in the hotel room. He really liked his bath and he even blew bubbles! He doesn't like to put his mouth in the water and usually just blows the water from above but he was blowing really good bubbles. I was so proud of him.
The next day we played around the house and CJ played with playdough a lot! Granma had bought a fun factory and he liked making spaghetti, he just kept forgetting that he couldn't eat it. After dinner we decided to go to the park and play. CJ LOVED the slide!!! He would climb up the stairs crawl through a tube and climb more stairs up to Grandpa and then Grandpa would help him sit down and give him a big push (He kept getting stuck on the way down and we would have to crawl into the slide to push/pull him out) And then Grandma would catch him or pull him out at the bottom. He would squeal and run around to the stairs to do them again. He finally decided to try out the swings for a little bit and then we wanted to go see how the other playset was. We got there and it still had snow all over so CJ had a hard time walking and it was just really muddy so we decided that we would go back to the other one. As we were leaving I heard a HOOO HOOO HOOOO. I was so excited and asked my dad if it was an owl. He said that it was a great horned owl. It was really cool. My dad had told me that he has been hearing one in the evenings and I actually heard it. On our way back to the other swing set my dad started talking to it. It sounded like it was really close so I started looking in the trees. We finally figured out what tree it was coming from and looked and looked for it. Finally Daddy found it. We got to see it for a little bit and then it flew off. CJ was having so much fun looking for the owl that we didn't go back to the slide and decided we should just go home while he was distracted. And as we were walking up the the car Grandpa found the owl again. It was farther away but a lot easier to see the shadow against the blue sky. CJ was sitting on Grandpa's shoulders and they just looked at the owl for another 5 min. or so. CJ liked looking at the owl so much that when we got home he sat next to grandpa and looked at pictures of owls on the computer for an hour! The last two nights when CJ looks out the window he tells me that he can see owls in the trees outside. He even wanted me to make grandpa come down and talk to the owls. CJ had a lot of fun this weekend at my parents. He got to see so many new things and he got to be outside, his favorite place to be.

Helicopter
Sorry I haven't done any pictures in a long time. I'll try and get some more up. Monday morning we all got up and went shopping. On our way we past the hospital and the life flight helicopter was sitting there, so we drove past and showed CJ. He loved it! At the store we decided to look at toy helicopters for CJ and he choose a little one from Cars (it was actually a rescue helicopter so it was red and white just like life flight). Then my parents came down and we got to go out to eat. CJ was so excited about his helicopter and everytime he saw the hostess/waitress he would hold it up and say "copta copta". On our way home we drove past the hospital again to see if the helicopter was still there, and it was! This time we parked the car and got out to look at it. CJ thought it was really fun, he even got to see an ambulance drive by with flashing lights. We had lots of fun with my parents and got to play with them all day.
