How did they fit?

I came out of my bedroom one morning to find this. I'm really not sure how they both fit in, it isn't that big of a box, it is one of the smaller huggies boxes. Then when I went to take a picture, Tayson decided to show off his many funny faces he pulls lately. He has also become quite the expert at rolling his eyes when mom or dad tell him to do something. Sorry, no pics of that though. I'm thinking we've got our hands full in the future if he is already rolling his eyes at us! Look out!



Easter Sunday Clothes




The pictures obviously didn't turn out so great, but that's okay. I wanted to at least get a picture of them in their new easter shirts, even if there were shadows. Camden now requests his "Breen" shirt for church EVERY sunday.

Easter in Peoria, AZ







The Saturday before Easter, Peoria, AZ had a big city Easter egg hunt, as well as slides, and free games, etc for the kids. The boys loved it. For those who know Tayson, you know how much he LOVES Lightning Mcqueen, so he was sure excited to see a BIG slide with the BIGGEST LIGHTNING MCQUEEN HE EVER DID SEE (that is how he says it). They even got to see the Easter bunny. Camden has had no trouble at all getting the hang of Easter Egg hunts this year.

New kind of bike riding

Tayson thought it would be fun to pull his bike with his jump rope a few weeks ago before learning to ride without training wheels
He realized shortly later that it would be even more fun if he convinced Camden to pull it for him. Good thing Camden LOVES his big brother... well, most of the time anyways.

Pooping IN STYLE


Sorry guys, but I have to post this. Camden is in the process of getting potty-trained, started right before we came to AZ, and still working on it (I don't dare put him in underwear until we are out of someone else's house and in our own place- so I don't think he will get completely trained until that happens, but hey we are saving at least a little cost on diapers). He is just fine with going to the bathroom when you remind him, but he doesn't tell us on his own. On occasion though when he is sitting on the toilet, he likes to do so IN STYLE!

Phoenix Zoo






A couple of weeks after we got to AZ we went to the zoo with some friends from Utah, Jon is in Brady's PT class, and we have known them since right after we got married (attended BYU with them, in the same ward, and then PT school as well). They happen to be in AZ for an internship as well, though a couple hours away from Phoenix. It was fun to see them and for Tayson especially to finally see a friend from back home. The kids had a blast, feeding the goats, climbing on a tractor, an elephant and a gorilla, etc. Sorry it has taken so long for all of the pictures you are now seeing. We've been busy and stressed.

Tayson's comments

I have no time right now for pictures, life has been crazy for us while trying to find a place to live in Salem, Oregon while being here in Arizona. I DON'T recommend to anyone to try finding a place to live while being far away from where you will be living. It has been a PAIN, fortunately I have an amazing sister-in-law who has been a HUGE!!!! help with it all, since they live not too far from where we will be. THANK YOU KAREE! Anyways, I just wanted to post a couple quotes from yesterday that Tayson said before I forget. He makes me smile, and one especially was too priceless. First of all my parents got hear yesterday for a few days to visit so the boys are ECSTATIC to say the least. Tayson and I were sitting on the couch after his nap waiting for Camden to wake up so we could go over to Nana and Papa's condo and go swimming and
he said "Mom, I don't want to take my water things when we go swimming."
I said: " Oh you want to make sure we take them?"
He said: "No, I don't need them, if I go under water, I will just touch the ground and jump back up."
I said: "Oh, since you can ride a bike without training wheels, you now know how to swim all by yourself?"
he said: "Yep"
Then when we were waiting for my dad to come and pick us up, he and Tayson were sitting in their carseats on the sidewalk and Camden pointed out that the moon was out (it was around 5:00 or so). Here is Tayson's comment to that:
He said: "Mom you need to call Jesus and tell him it isn't nighttime anymore"
I laughed quietly and said: "I don't think that will work"
He said: "Maybe if we yell REALLY LOUD, he will hear us" (He was Serious about it all)
(I then tried to explain, while laughing inside, that sometimes you can still see the moon in the day time (Jesus didn't just forget to put it away)).
I gotta run, I have lots of pictures, but just haven't got around to downloading them, hopefully in a couple days though. Happy note, we are DONE ON FRIDAY!!!
