Lookin SNAZZY

Aren't they just adorable!! Dallin and his giant laugh!!


Awww....I LOVE this one, hair crazy and all! Just so you know, I seriously tried to flatten Wils's hair, but the more I tried the more it just stood straight up! :)

I just had to take some pics on Sunday, for some Wilson looked so grown up in his little church clothes. Oh I just these kiddos of mine!

Dallin's Spring Concert

The other night Dallin had his little Spring concert. He has been so excited for this and for the last month has been telling us how many more days it is until the "big night" as he would call it. Each first grader had to read 100 books within 6 weeks to get their cool 100 club shirt and Dallin got his after the first 4 weeks. I love that he has gotten into reading and that he looks forward to it, let's hope he keeps that enthusiasm. They sang the cutest songs and he did such a good job!! Way to go Dally Goo!

There's my boy with his 100 club shirt!


Dallin is right in the front and seriously had a smile the entire time, he did such a great job!


Dallin waving hello after the performance!


Dallin and his teacher Mrs. Tanner!

And of course the big performer deserves a treat so after we went to Coldstone for some yummy ice-cream! Jake and the babes went home since Wils was such a cranky boy that night!

Knock on wood, but Wilson has been SOOO good the last 2 days, seriously did my little letter work?? Woo Hoo

I LOVE to watch you explore the world around you and I especially LOVE when your face lights up when you see me, honestly it makes my heart melt!! I love your great big smile and your adorable little laugh! I love to cuddle you, I love when you are nursing and you just look up at me with your big blue eyes and smile, there is no greater joy than seeing you happy! There's just one thing I ask of you my sweet baby boy, PLEASE help me understand your fussiness?? How I wish I could take your pain away, how I wish I could help you sleep better, how I wish you could tell me what hurt, and how more than anything when you are in one of your crying fits how I wish I could make it all better! You mean everything to me Wils, and I am just taking a day at a time with you hoping that your little world gets better and better for you! We love you buddy and just want you happy and comfortable!

FABLEHAVEN FUN

Call us GEEKS if you want, but we are totally into the FABLEHAVEN series! It's more me and Taylor that have our little "US" time and read together, but we have had so much fun with these books. Last night was the book signing for the release of the final book in the series, #5! Jake took the boys and even though they waited FOREVER (3 1/2 hours to be exact) to meet Brandon Mull they also got to meet a bunch of the characters that are in the books too. The cool thing is Taylor is friends with Brandon Mull's nephews so when they got up to meet him and have him sign their book, Taylor told Brandon that "you are my hero and how cool this is to meet you. Also he told him that I am in the same class as your nephews Dalton and Cole (twins). Brandon right away said do want to take a picture with me, and the boys were so excited because they weren't letting anyone take pictures with Brandon because it would take too much time, but he made the time for my boys! We're pretty excited! How cool is that???

The boys were SO EXCITED to meet Brandon Mull!


Waiting in the LONG line!


Meeting the witch Muriel!


Meeting the illustrator!


Woo Hoo


The Knights!


The Sphinx


and the Satyrs!
Wow, good job Jake on taking such awesome pics. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with his picture taking abilities lately since I can't always be there to do it myself, ha ha!

Bear Lake 2010

What a great time we all had in Bear Lake this weekend! All of us (Jake's fam) spent 3 nights hanging out, playing games, eating TONS of yummy food, and playing at the pool and in the snow. This was my first year that I didn't even go snow shoeing and I have to say that I MISSED it so much. I just felt Wils was too young to be out in the cold so us girls stayed behind with our babes and played games, (which of course was fun too!) I love that the kids had such a good time and I LOVE more than anything how much my kids adore their cousins. I truly consider Jakes fam as much my own and love how close we all are. Thanks for the great memories you guys, we had so much fun!

The cutest babes born in 2009! Just look at these darling cousins! Lucy, Wilson, & Jovie!


The kiddos staying up late watching movies!


Awww.....look at this sweet little boy of mine, fast asleep!


A definite hit of the trip was all the kids and their Dsi's! Wow, they couldn't get enough!


Everyone went and played in the snow!


Dallin's cool fort!


Jaden and Tay. They had so much fun at the pool!

Mya loved swimming, but seemed to have a couple of freak outs that daddy had to bring her back to the condo. Hmmm.....can you say terrible threes instead of terrible two's???

My baby boy asleep, AGAIN!!


And the Dsi of course!


And AGAIN!!!!!!

We played this game where you write down something you want someone to do, but little do you know that when you write this down you also have to do it with them. It was so funny to see what everyone came up with. It was great to see everyone be good sports about it too. Good job you all!

Korine, Quinci, Danny (David's bro), and Jake had to see who could get the most grapes in their mouth, it was so dang funny! Jake got 22 and Danny 23, gooooo Danny!


David, Bek, Ben, and Maddi had to do the Waltz!


Dallin had to run in his underwear outside, he was such a good sport about it!


Uncle Ben's turn!


A few of them had to wear underwear on their heads and run outside, so so funny!

Our new family hobby!

So our little family has a new hobby! We LOVE LOVE LOVE doing puzzles and it's something we can work on together. We have been doing a few little ones here and there, but Jake bought me this puzzle when he was on his mission in Bisbee Arizona. We decided to pull this bad boy out and give it a try, 1000 pieces I'll have you know. Now we are hooked, in fact we are already scanning ebay for our next cool puzzle because we want to finish them, puzzle glue them, and then frame them. What do you think?

Getting started!






I would do a few pieces here and there!


I'll be honest, I kind of became obsessed with getting it done!


Almost done!


Finishing up!


And it's DONE!!! Can't wait to frame it!
