Jungle Jim's

Deana babysat Jackson again today, so we took the boys (Brayden, Jackson, Charles and Craig) to Jungle Jim's for the day. The little boys really struggled with the rides. Brayden really liked the ride, but he hated having to get off and wait in line for another one. Jackson just hated everything about it.

Lucky for us, one end of the building is devoted to a large playground. Brayden loved that! Jackson still took a little persuading, but it was a lot better than the rides. Neither of the boys were quite big enough to climb through the openings so we each posted ourselves throughout to help them through. We all had a lot of fun.

Computer Camera

I have had my laptop way too long, but I just found the camera today. Hey, I never claimed to be computer savy. I knew that the camera was there, but I thought I had to purchase special software to make it work. Yeah, today I proved myself wrong and had a little fun in the process.

Brayden and Craig even joined in for a little bit. There were a lot more pictures taken today, but I only posted my favorites.

Deana's Birthday Dinner

My friend, Deana, had her birthday this week so a bunch of us got together for dinner at Red Robin to celebrate.

We made everyone in our group wear party hats. As you can see, Craig especially had a lot of fun playing with them.

Brayden and the Balloon

I love it when kids amuse themselves. In the above video, Brayden is attempting to pounce on the balloon that I bought for Craig when he was getting his wisdom teeth removed. In the video below, he is running back and forth with it. Both are rather amusing. During both, I'm just sitting on my bed watching him play. It was a really easy day for me.

Craig's Wisdom Teeth

A few days ago, on the 20th, Craig went into the Jean Brown Research Center so he could have his wisdom teeth removed. He was a part of a study that was testing the effectiveness of a new pain reliever. Because of this, he had to stay overnight without any visitors.

Since I couldn't visit, I dropped off a "Get Well" balloon and flowers. I never know if it is okay for a girl to send a guy flowers, so I worked really hard to find the manliest bouquet possible. I think I did a good job and the ladies at the research center seemed to really like it. They took it into Craig as soon as the study was over. I hope he liked it.

Now that Craig is home, Brayden has really taken a liking to the balloon. He wasn't even really playing with it, just holding it next to him while he played with his other toys.

Now Craig is home and on the road to recovery. His cheeks are still a little puffy, but at least we got a WII out of it!

Ghost Hunting

Craig is rather interested in the paranormal, so when our friend, Charles, won tickets to a ghost hunt on the radio he invited Craig to go with him.

First, the bus dropped them off at Tracks Brewing Company for drinks and then they headed off to Asylum 49 in Tooele. After a 45 minute tour, they got to work hunting for ghosts. Craig got to play with an electronic voice recorder and digital camera. I'm not sure if he found anything because he hasn't gone back over everything yet, but I know he had fun.

Mountain Photoshoot

Deana came with us today on our trip up the canyon. Actually, it was her idea for us to go play in the snow while she took pictures.

The first thing Craig did when we got there was throw Brayden in the snow. Brayden wasn't impressed.

Craig had a lot of fun showing off/playing around. He was even able to pull of an impressive front flip into the snow.

Eventually, Craig started a snowball fight with Brayden.

Before we got in the car to go back home, Craig had to throw Brayden in the snow again. It would have been easier for me to object if it wasn't so cute.
