Happy Birthday Dad

"If you could hie to Kolob In the twinkling of an eye,

And then continue onward With that same speed to fly,

Do you think that you could ever, Through all eternity,

Find out the generation where Gods began to be?"



Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of my Father- we wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and let you know how much love we have for you. We're so happy your here with us and cherish every minute we have to spend with you!

Micah and "Pa"

Micah has taken quite a liking to his "Pa". He won't leave his sight when he is around. He just points and says"Pa, Pa". When we went to the Zoo, Micah made Dad pack him around the entire day and ride the train again and again with him. He loves his "Pa", and they've become quite the duo.

Happy Easter!

Happy to have his picture taken- as ususal.

We had a fun Easter weekend with all of the cousins!! We went to the Hogle Zoo, hunted for Easter Eggs, ate enough sugar to last untill next Easter, played with Grandmas parachute, fought over Baby Everett, and I tried to get pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes! Micah loves the camera!!

Disney's Princess on Ice

Saturday we ventured up to Salt Lake to watch Disney's Princess on Ice show! We took Grandma, stopped by to pick up Jen, Sedona and Baby Everett. Poor Everett didn't have a choice, but was a good sport being the only boy ( He slept through the whole show). The girls loved it and were amazed at all of the skating princesses!! They were a little annoyed with the girls sitting behind us, who kept waving to Ariel and sang every song word for word in their ears!!

Spending Spring Break at Preschool

McKell is out of school this week for Spring Break, so I thought I'd ask her to come and watch Micah while I went to Marens preschool to be the Mom Helper. When Maren found out the plan she said she'd rathar have Aunt Kell come to her school and be the Mom Helper. So I packed them lunches and off they went. Kell is such a good sport to spend her Spring Break with a bunch of preschoolers. Thanks Aunt Kell, Maren was pretty excited about taking you to school!!

Tea Parties and Goose Eggs?

Everyone warned me that boys were different from girls, but I just shrugged off the advice and thought kids are kids. So while my girls are dresssing up and having tea parties (entertaining themselves), I'm constantly chasing Micah around picking up mess after mess. The poor little guy has been running and playing outside with the weather being so nice and has fallen 3 times and hit his head on the same spot every time. This pictures doesn't do it justice, but he has quite the purple goose egg!!!

The concert of the year is coming!!

Baby Everett and the Cookie Monster

We went to Salt Lake to see Baby Everett, and left Micah home with Nathan to play in the snow. Proud Cousins, Hatalee and Maren with Grandpa holding Baby Everett.

It's so hard to be angry at a face like this!

Valentines/Moms Birthday Dinner

We had our Valentines/ Birthday Dinner for Mom last night. Ty Ty and Bre came to help us celebrate and watch the kids run off their sugar high. The girls loved decorating and making heart shaped ice cubes out of cran raspberry juice. We turned off all the lights, lit candles and even played a little Andrea Bocelli "Amore" for background music (Nate's favorite :) ). Micah's pyro side was revealed, as he was fascinated with the candles flame and yelled "hot" all night. I hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Happy Birthday Mom!

We just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and tell you how much we love you! You are such a wonderful grandma to my kids and they absolutely love you. Your so supportive in all that we do and truly my best friend. I don't know where I would be without you and your example. I love you and hope your day is filled with Birthday Wishes!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Micah Sleeping

I had to post these funny pictures of Micahs sleeping habits. Hatalee decided to make a bed for Micah in his closet, and then proceeded to put him to sleep. She is a second little mom to him and he loves her. The other picture of Micah is after he had fallen asleep sitting up in his crib. He was so tired and was trying to fight, but eventually gave in.....

Gifts from Belize

We were so excited to have Todd and Ash come home for Christmas!! We had so much fun, and were sad to see them leave. They were so sweet to bring gifts for everyone! Thanks! We love you!

Hatalees Baptism

We baptized Hatalee on Saturday, it was such a neat day and I'm so glad she chose to be baptized and become a member of the church. Thanks to all of our family who came, even though it was snowing like crazy. It really meant a lot to Hatalee to have you all there. Thanks again for risking your lives while driving in the snow. Hopefully it will be a day Hatalee will remember- Heres some pictures for Todd and Ash- we missed you!!
