Bostyn and Mommy Day...

With Eric not feeling the best and wanting to spend the day relaxing in bed, sleeping all day I decided to head down to my mom's house for the day to play. I thought I would be a nice wife and bring Bostyn with me so that he wouldn't have to keep getting up to get after her, and this also gave her the opportunity to go down to Grandma's (which she doesn't get to do a lot because of Grandma's cats...) and play with her favorite cousins... She had a blast jumping all over the kids and running through the water...

First BBQ...

Tonight we had our first bbq of the summer season! I love the summer and being able to bbq and just spend time outside! The weather is finally starting to get decent enough for us to be able to be outside. Hopefully it lasts!

Memorial Day Weekend...

For Memorial Day weekend Eric and I decided to take our first trip together. We were planning on going down to St. George for a tournament but it was cancelled so we decided to play in Vegas for a couple of days and then hang out with Ammon and family in St. George. The weekend started Thursday morning with us picking Ry and Lilly up from day care and heading down to my mom's. Thankfully my mom decided to be nice to me and go to the cemetery early so that I could go with her. (it is our tradition to go the Saturday before)... These are basically the only pictures I took over the weekend...

After getting done at the cemetery Eric, Cori, the kids and I took off for St. George. I always forget how difficult it can be to travel with kids... sitting still is VERY hard! Finally we got them to calm down and the car ride was peaceful!

After dropping everyone off with Ammon we made our way down to Vegas for a mini little honeymoon. We spent most of our time hanging out in the Excalibur casino, watching Eric play blackjack. I really wanted to see The Tournament of Kings to see what it was like compared to the real thing. We ended up getting free tickets to it for going to a time share presentation. I am kinda glad we ended up not paying for the tickets because nothing compares to the real sport of jousting. Each fake fall they had was so theatrical that it drove me crazy! On Saturday morning we made our way back to St. George where we spent the rest of the day playing with the kids... It was really nice to be able to get away for a few days!

On a side note... this weekend we added a new member to the Dunton family. Welcome Camelot!

Both Bostyn and Loki don't know what to think about Camelot. They are a bit scared and unsure of her. They went to camp while we were gone and came back to meet their new sibling :) 

Busy Month...

The month of May was a busy one for us. Every weekend we were up in Ogden at the Utah Ren Faire. I finally got to see what the whole jousting thing is all about and I will say that I am hooked on watching it! I really don't understand why these guys decide to do the sport, but it sure is fascinating to watch. Eric hasn't jousted while I have been there, which a part of me is glad about. However I did get to see him do the games part, which was a ton of fun... Kim and the kids came up and spent some time with us as well. Here are a few pictures...

Mom's Surprise Party...

This next week my mom turns 60. My sister Cori thought it would be a great idea to throw her a surprise birthday party to celebrate this milestone. She planned the whole thing and then gave me things to do to help her out. We had a bbq and lots of good food. My mom's siblings both came along with my cousin Kara, her daughter Kelsey, my mom's best friends Jayelynn and Elaine and the babies. Jayelynn and Elaine took my mom out to the mall to go have some fun and so that we could get it all set up. Everyone arrived and we got ready for the big surprise. The kids got in the trampoline and when my mom came out she saw only them and not everyone else on the other side of the door. She got all excited to have the kids down and then got an even bigger surprise when everyone else "jumped out"...
