Liam's Birthday

After much anticipation Liam turned 7 on February 25th! Can't believe how time flies and how much he has changed over the years. He was a happy baby as you can see here.














Loved by his little sister Lila.


So to celebrate Liam's 7th birthday we rented a room at the Clark Planetarium. As you can tell all had a wild time and lucky for me it wasn't at my house as there was way to many 7 year olds in one room to manage.



Luckily I had some help with the staff and they did several experiments with the kids.



Then surrounded by a mob of excited boys Liam opened his presents.



Liam's babysitter, Amy, made a fantastic alien cake.







Following cake everyone went to a movie in the dome theatre called Attack of the Space Pirates.



So glad Liam is part of our family. Happy Birthday!

The OC

Mid February in Utah can be a little bit depressing and the perfect time to take a trip to somewhere warm. This year we met my Mom in Newport Beach for the weekend. What a nice change from the snowstorms and grey skies. Our first day in Orange County we went to the Long Beach Aquarium.





The second day we went to Huntington Beach and walked out on the pier.





The last day we went to Laguna Beach and played in the ocean. Liam had a lot of fun until he was knocked down and beaten up by the waves a bit. As you can see he survived and enjoyed a walk into town.
