Our Easter Boys

During all the Easter festivities we took a minute to take a few pictures of  our cute boys.  Grandma Thorne bought Liam and Spencer new Easter outfits.  So adorable!  Those boys sure love each other!  Liam loves to kiss Spencer and Spencer loves to laugh at all Liam’s  antics.  It’s so much fun to watch them together.  They are going to be such good friends as they grow up!

 

Don’t you just want to squeeze him!?!

 

 

I love that grin!

 

 

 

Such a handsome boy!

 

 

 

 

 

Tickle, tickle.

Sneezing!  Bless you, Spencer.

I love how they’re talking to each other.  So sweet.

So remember sweet boys, you are so precious.  Precious not just to your parents and family, but also to your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  Remember the true reason for Easter.  Jesus loves you.  He loved you so much that he willingly sacrificed his life for you.  There is no gift greater.  We are all blessed to have you in our lives.  Continue to grow strong and faithful. 

We love you!

Oakland Zoo

Today we went to the Oakland Zoo.  We had a wonderful time!  The weather was mild and the crowds were fairly light.  Liam loved seeing all the big animals!  So did Spencer!  He is such a happy little guy.  It is so fun to watch the two boys together.  Liam loved practicing all his animal sounds. 

 

One of the first “big” animals that we saw was the giraffes. 

Liam was sooooo excited!

Look at that happy little guy!

As we were walking along a path and saw a cute this little squirrel.  Liam, being a boy, took off chasing him.  I had no fear that he would actually catch the squirrel but just as he got close the squirrel decided to stop and eat something sitting on the fence post.  I was laughing.  The Mommy in me yelled “don’t touch it!” and the photographer in me took a picture.  If you look close you can see that the squirrel is in mid-flight!  He landed on the big tree.

 

 

 

Not too sure about the elephants.

 

So ugly they are kind of cute!

Thank goodness Uncle Kyle helped Liam across….otherwise we would have had wet shoes.  Love the paparazzi in the background!

 

This is Liam’s first ever face painting.  It’s a zebra in case you could not tell.  They had Junior volunteers that did them for free. 

Good thing he’s two, he loved it

Family time

About a week ago I received a very exciting message!  Aunt Nancy and family were going to be down in our area for a quick visit.  The timing was great!   I had the night off and our Disneyland passes were not blacked out.  We had a great time hanging out with the whole gang!  It’s always so fun to see Amy, Sandro and the girls.  I can’t believe how much the girls have all grown….not to mention how beautiful they are!   I wish I had taken more pictures…. I was just too busy enjoying having a good time!  It was so fun to see you guys!  We love you and miss you!  Hurry back soon!

Downtown Disney

We made a quick trip to Disneyland last week….it was packed.  Packed=Miserable.  The nice thing about having a season pass is that when the crowds are too large, you just leave!  There’s always tomorrow!  We stopped at downtown Disney to see the fountains and eat some super tasty beignets.  We had a good time!

Getting ready to make a wish!

 

 

He looks like such a big boy in this picture.

Getting his first taste of beignets!  So, SOOO good!

 

 

 

Beignets come in a paper bag FULL of powdered sugar.  What’s better than a sugar snow storm?
