Great, Great Grandma Snyder, Spring Basketball, and Aydan Lost his 1st Tooth!


The 2nd and 3rd weeks of April Great Great Grandma Snyder was here visiting! It was nice to have her here, and to catch up with her!
 This is Lincoln and his daddy before we all headed up to Gpa Snyder's house to have dinner with everyone!
His just loves his daddy!
 Aydan and Lincoln at Gpa's house!
 My Great Grandma Snyder and my dad!
 Lincoln's 1st time meeting his Great Great Grandma Snyder! He was a little fussy at the moment!
 Such a precious picture! It reminds me of how truly special family and life are!
 My boys with their Great Great Grandma Snyder and Grandpa Snyder! So special to have them!
 **********************************
Aydan has been playing Spring basketball at the YMCA! 
 Dribbling!
 Taking a shot!
 Little brother wants to play too!
 

One fun thing about this Spring season, is that he coaches are brother in law and sister of one of my best friends growing up!


*******************************************
On April 25th at about 7:30pm Aydan pulled out his very first loose tooth! It was super loose, and I think it got to the point where it was all he could think about, so it HAD to come out! He did a great job doing it all by himself! There were some tears, but I think he was mostly frustrated with how annoying it was all loose in his mouth! Ha! Ha!
Here is his loose tooth before he pulled it out!
 It only took him about 15 minutes to wiggle and pull it out!

 His hole after he pulled it out!
I promised Aydan that I would make him a Tooth Fairy Pillow if he pulled it out, and HE DID! We stayed up until about 9:30pm making his cute little pillow!
 Then he slipped his cute little tooth into his Tooth Fairy Pillow's mouth (for easy access for the Tooth Fairy) and hung him on his Bear's foot! Cute!
 The next morning he woke up to find his little tooth gone, and a $5 bill in it's place! He directly put it into his piggy bank! Fun!
The next morning I finished the Tooth Fairy Pillow by adding some fairy wings! I LOVE how it turned out! So fun and special for my growing boy!
 Be sure to get all caught up on posts!

Boise!


The 2nd week in April was Justin's last week at his internship! Yay! At the end he was pleasantly surprised to hear that because of a "job well done" EIRMC decided to pay him for his internship! Whoot! Whoot! And he got some awesome Letters of Recommendation! 
Well, to celebrate, we decided to go to Boise to celebrate!
Here is Traceon in Lincoln's car seat before we left!
We got into Boise at about 8 o' clock and decided to go to Red Lobster for dinner! It was so good!


Saturday we decided to go to Big Al's for the afternoon! We had so much fun there! 
Here are the boys eating some lunch!
Look at those GIANT TV's in the background!
At lunch together!
Lincoln liked Big Al's too!
Big Al's has a bowling alley also, so we of course BOWLED!





And they have an arcade upstairs ( that is wildly expensive) so we played a couple of games!



Sunday Justin went to a concert with some of our friends! I was kinda bummed I didn't get to go, but you can't responsibly take a baby to a rock concert! 
The boys and I stayed at Aunt Melanie's house and hung out! It was cold outside and really windy so we watched some movies!
Justin, Todd, Mitch, Marci, and Ben! Don't they look like they're having a good time?
Mitch, our long time buddy, and his girl Marci!




Justin and Ben caught picks at the concert!
Here are the boys watching a movie at Aunt Melanie's!

We had a fun weekend and it was a good get away and a nice celebration treat for Justin! Good job babe!


Tooele, and a BRAND NEW NEPHEW!


Before I get to our Tooele trip I'm going to do a
2 MONTH
update on Lincoln!
At 2 months Lincoln weighed 12.4lbs (55%) and was 24.25in (97%)! Tall and skinny...yep just like the rest of us! He is super smiley! Sleeps at least 6 hours straight during the night! And just loves life!
He's so cute!
For Justin and Aydan's Spring Break, we decided to go to Utah! It all worked out so well too! Justin's older brother just had a baby boy the day before we came, and he gave us his old car so we needed to go and get it!
Here we are on our first road trip with 3 kiddos!
We got in pretty late, and the boys all got into their jammies and started a movie!
The next morning we went to go meet our new nephew! Kolton Grantlee Polson! He is so cute and chubby, and has the thickest hair! 
BTW- I forgot to put a memory chip in our big camera, therefore we had to take pictures on our phones, which weren't the best of quality!
Justin and Kolton!
Braxton, Dillon, Aydan, Justin, Kolton, and Traceon at the hospital!
Aunt Sam and Kolton!
We had so much fun hanging out with our nephews! Derrick spent a lot of the time in the hospital with Jessica. Her recovery was super rough, and she needed him to be there with her! 
Justin and Dillon played HORSE...and Dillon beat Justin ; )
We played a lot on the playground at Jessica's parents house! Justin and Braxton!
We went to watch Dillon at his football practice!
Mommy and Lincoln!
Dillon!
One day we decided to take the boys to Kangaroo Zoo in Salt Lake. Jessica's sister and sister in law were taking their kids, so we decided to take ours plus Braxton and Dillon!
The boys had so much fun jumping around on all of the bounce houses and climbing around in the jungle gyms!
Traceon and Braxton!
Dillon!
Aydan!

Haha! This pic is funny! We told him to make this face, so don't get worried! At the Jump Park, #1 rule is YOU HAVE TO WEAR SOCKS! Well Braxton did not want to follow the #1 rule, and after the 7th time he took his socks off, we couldn't find one. He had to buy new $1 socks....

This is what Linc thought of the bounce park....
After the park, we took them to McDonald's for lunch, where they got to play some more!
When we came home, they played some more outside!
All of the boys were SO DIRTY! These 2 rugrats were funny in the bath together!
Braxton, Traceon, and Lincoln after bath time!
After everyone was clean and in their jammies! I had some fun projects for them to do!
1st was to make Aunt Jessica and Kolton Welcome Home signs!





So cute! They did such a good job!


2nd was to make jello cups with fish fruit snacks in them!



Braxton was the biggest helper! He really got into it!


Jessica and Kolton came home on Saturday, and Saturday night Justin, Lincoln and I went on a date to Tucano's! Lincoln still has to go everywhere mom goes, because I'm still nursing him!
He was happy to be there with us!
My hot date!
Here is Dillon and Kolton!
Kolton is such a sweet little guy! I could snuggle that chub all day!
 We had a fun 4 days and enjoyed every minute! We are happy for Derrick and Jessica and their new little guy! And thanks again for the sweet new ride guys!
