Planes, planes, and more planes...

How do people survive in rainy weather all the time? I have no idea and the kiddos and I are going insane with all this rainy weather in Utah. I seriously think there has been 5 really nice days since we have been there and there is only so much you can do when all it wants to do is pour and even snow in the middle of May. So come Saturday morning when we woke up to BEAUTIFUL weather we were out of the house within an instant, and ready to have some fun looking at one of Weston's favorite things...planes!!!!
We went to Hill Air force Base Museum and Weston had a blast. I loved it because admission was free and I had a happy toddler for the whole afternoon. There were planes everywhere and Weston was constantly pointing at them saying " mommy, oh wow!". Ryan was just as thrilled and I told him I didn't know who was having more fun, him or Weston.

Weston thought this plane was cool.

These planes where ginormous!!







This kid is either going to be a pilot or a train conductor one day.

Content in her stroller. Oh how I wish I could sit in a stroller and be pushed around all day.



This kid still will not pose for a picture....I have no idea how Ryan took this one.




Of course he had to touch these awesome looking planes. He can spot one a mile away in the sky and to be so close to them he was in pure amazement!

After the afternoon with planes we went and got Panda Express for Ryan, Cafe Rio for me and then took them home to eat on our pouch. Throw in some bubbles, coconut ice cream pops, a giggly 2 year old and a smiling 3 month old I would have to say it was the perfect spring evening! Yeah for warm weather!!!!!

Bear Lake



So this weekend we decided to take some much needed R&R to Bear Lake for some good ole' family fun. Ryan has been working so hard this past week with his clinical and working outside with the family that we are staying with. The Sears have a condo at Bear Lake and told us to go relax for 2 days. And boy did we have fun!!!



Weston having a blast on the swings.



SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love the turquoise color of the water and it reminded me of the water when we went to the Bahamas this past summer.
Another look at the crystal clear water in the middle of nowhere.



So Grampa Poffenberger taught Weston how to throw rocks in puddles in his back yard and now that is all Weston wants to do when he sees rocks and water. Ryan was trying to teach him how to skip rocks, but all he wanted to do was find the biggest rock and launch it in the water for the biggest splash!





Weston loved going down the slides!





These two kids are inseparable. Weston loves Brooklyn to pieces and has to be in her sight at all times. Lately he has been rubbing her tummy to try to get her to sleep and if she is fussy he will go up to her and say "ssshhh baby, sshhh baby". Sibling love is one of the best parts of being a mother to me, and I love seeing it grow and seeing the pure love that these two already have for eachother.






Loved walking on the beach!





In the evening it started to rain so we went inside and watched movies all night while eating pizza and yummy milkshakes. Here is Brooklyn and I getting ready to watch Midway to Heaven.


Daddy's little girl.


Like I said before, Weston had to find the biggest rocks to throw. Here he is with one of his monster rocks.




We stopped by the Logan temple to take pictures. So beautiful!




Above all, it was a great weekend and I am so thankful for all the beautiful family memories we are making. I look at these pictures and truly feel blessed at the family and life I have. I love my husband so much, and my kids are my world in every sense. Weekends like this remind me just how lucky I am to have a husband and kids to share these fun times with!!!!
