Jam Packed!

This beautiful weather we've been having has spurred on some spring activities. Mase started soccer up again and has become quite the player. Last game he made 3 goals that he was naturally VERY proud of...


Mini rodeo was this week as well. Mase and Max want to be just like their friend Gabby in this picture and ride a real horse one day.


Mase got the ribbon of the goat tail in record time, we're hoping that he'll win a belt buckle by the end of the season.

The rodeo business is serious business for Mason as he concentrates the whole time. Maxwell, on the other hand, just can't stop smiling.







Mason has also started T-ball. SO CUTE! He loves it and has made many friends. Matt is the assistant coach and gets to fill in as coach sometimes. Mason loves that his daddy is the coach.





Mason is a natural at the sport. He has a great arm and understands all the rules. We have to thank the Wii for that I guess...




Mase loves his buddy Ethan and is so glad they are on the same team.

Pappa Kurt's birthday was the 21st so the Draper boys decided to take him to lunch to a Prime Rib Wendover buffet. Of course Pappa had to fly them all there but lunch was on the boys :) They look for any excuse to fly the plane! Happy Birthday Kurt!

Happy Easter!

We started off our Easter holiday on Saturday morning with a ward Easter egg hunt at the park. There was breakfast, and a visit from the Easter bunny. Mason and Max were excited their cousin Bennett could come join them for the morning.

Mason and Maxwell sang songs about Jesus and the Resurrection with the other Primary kids .


The boys cleaned house with Easter eggs. Tons and tons of candy.





We then headed to NSL city Easter egg hunt with Bennett, Ethan, Jada, Kira and Miley. After the fire truck sounded the siren it didn't take longer than 30 seconds to have the entire football field clean.



Grandma Judy had a fun Easter hunt planed for the boys and Grandpa Mike's grand kids.



Easter Sunday we met up with family.


Matt and Pappa Kurt took the boys on a guys night out to Gateway mall and then to see the final Jazz game of the year. They were really excited about it and had a great time.



Matt's favorite player #8 Williams

Mason's favorite player #5 Boozer. It was funny cause Mase was really cheering for Boozer and the guy next to Matt said, "I think he's the only one cheering for Boozer in the building" (Boozer's not really popular right now) - Matt agreed but didn't damper Mason's spirits.

Spring Break Fun!

We went to The Living Aquarium. We went with cousins, neighbors and friends. The kids loved looking at all of the fish. My cute neighbor Kaylee was super brave and wanted to touch the stingerays. After watching Kaylee Max decided he could do it.
After we went to dinner and then to Classic Fun Center. The kids bounced and bounced! It was a super fun day!

Spring Fling at Flip's. Mase and max loved all of the cute activities especially the Easter Egg Hunt.
We made Easter Gingerbread Houses with the Beckstrand girls.

Miss Shauna made these cute Easter bunnies at preschool. Super cute and the boys loved eatting them.


Dental check ups were great!! No cavities.... Yeah!!!
Jess got out the slip 'n slide and my boys were thrilled to go over and have fun in the sun! Thanks Jess my boys had a blast! Thanks Tash for the pics!


I took the boys to the park. I was sitting on the bench talking to Heather Carrie when Amy says, " It is too late now but I wanted to let you know that your boys are covered in mud". Heather and I laughed.
Max Carrie, Sam Carrie, Jada Bell, Maxie
When I walked over to see them, my max was laying on his stomach in the mud. Max also thought it would be fun to throw the mud.

Bathroom Before and After

We've been working on our bathroom and it's finally done. Matt documented the work and got some before and after pics.

Along with changing out the cabinetry and flooring, we also added a shower. Before was a linen closet, which was a perfect place for a shower. Now Matt has his shower and I have my tub!

DRAIN DURING REMODEL



FINAL PRODUCT!


The best part of the new cabinetry are the bells and whistles that go along. This is my secret stash where I can leave my hair dryer and straightener plugged in all the time. No more counter top mess and quick access. :)
