HAPPY EASTER FROM THE HEATONS!

This year we got to celebrate Easter a couple of times, first down in St. George with all the family, then again up here in Tremonton at home. The kids ended up doing two different egg hunts, then got to meet the Easter bunny, and got spoiled with their Easter baskets too. On the 1st of April Grandma colored eggs with all the kids while we were down in St.George and then they got to hunt for them out on Grandma and Grandpa's front lawn with all the cousins. It was a lot of fun to watch them all play together, having a good time and getting so big. Then we took the kids down to the city park up here in Tremonton the Sat. before Easter, to do the city's annual big egg hunt. I think the whole entire town showed up and the fields were packed. They had split up the kids into different age groups, but I think our kid's was the largest. It was a mad dash once they blew the start horn and I think Brogen & Capriece were a bit overwhelmed because they had a pretty slow start. Poor Capriece ended up getting knocked over twice by other adults and Brogen only managed to swipe up one lil egg. (but a friend of ours shared an egg with Capriece so she wasn't left out...it was really nice of him!) So they got to turn in their eggs for some treats, but it was so wild and crazy...they had an ambulance there. Probably wont be doing that again until the kids are big enough to fend for themselves. Later that day we took the kids down to Ogden to the Treehouse Kids Museum to have some family fun and meet the Easter bunny. Talk about a really neat place, they had everything there a kid could ever imagine, and it was all hands on. We spent the whole afternoon running from one thing to another trying to see it all. Boy were we worn out after that. So the kids left their Easter baskets out for the Easter Bunny to come by that night, and Sunday was spent going to church, relaxing with the family, and getting sick off of all the candy and goodies the bunny brought. It was a great Easter and we had a blast doing it all! Hope the kids will remember how much fun they had!

 THE GRANDKIDS!

Brogen's Preschool Field Trip

Baby Animal Days

At the beginning of this month Brogen's little preschool class all went on a field trip out to the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville UT. It was Baby Animal Days, where the kids got to see and pet all the new farm babies that were born this spring. There were a ton of people there even though it was raining constantly and pretty cold. All the little animals were so cute and Brogen and Capriece loved petting and seeing them, and then wanted to take them all back home with us too. Capriece was a little afraid of the ones that were bigger then her, can't really blame her there, but she still hurriedly petted them then backed away. Their favorites were the very adorable baby goats and the tiny baby rabbits. They were so small they were pocket size. After seeing all the animals, Brogen and Capriece got to go one the pony ride and they were sooooo excited to ride them ( just about then it started to hail). They loved it and now they both wants ponies for their birthdays. By that time we were starting to get soaked through, so we headed over to the little train for a ride then back to the car to get dried off. It was really neat and fun, but would have definitely been better in warmer weather. Oh well, we'll just have to go again some other time. Here's a few pic's, enjoy!

Mom's Big 50th Birthday Bash!

So this year on April 1st 2011, my most wonderful mom in the world turned 50! (and she doesn't even look a day over 30!) The whole family came together from across 2 states to have a big birthday bash for her on her special day. It was so much fun to see her so happy and having a great time and loving all her gifts. Dad and Don went and got her a brand new dryer and then her kids surprised her with a new laptop of her very own. She also got a few great little nick-knacks from family and friends as well. There was a giant beautiful cake and some really good gourmet BBQ and everyone ate and ate till we were all stuffed. Mom had so much fun playing with all her lil grandbabies too; it was the very best weekend ever (and she so completely deserved it all). We hope you know how very much we all love you and appreciate you Mom. Happy Birthday!


Here are some fun pic's of the birthday girl and the party, Enjoy!!
