Private

Yes we're going to go private. You know the drill :) Thanks

food...

So, while John was eating this (above):

I was eating this (below):

What looks better? honestly?

first dam

We went to First dam a few days ago to see the birds, relax in the sun and play a little baseball...which wasn't such a great idea. This is me trying to get the ball out of the lake...i got it and we didn't play anymore :)

We love nice weather! Can't wait to hopefully get a little more :)

Celebration

For John's birthday, we went to Tucano's with the Van Ormans. That food is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. We loved it, and it helps that we're on the birthday club and for our birthdays we get a free meal :)

Jack was just cracking up laughing at the girls sitting accross from us in the prom dresses. He thought they were pretty funny. We love our little boy

I just love this picture of Jack. So sweet.

We did this on the day before John's birthday, on his birthday he had work but came, enjoyed dinner at a friends and had some over for Apple Crisp. Good times and good company. Thanks for having a birthday so that we could splurge a little bit!

My best friends birthday

Twenty four years ago today my best friend was born. He's got the biggest heart, the sweetest smile, and the best looks. I'm so grateful to be married to this incredible man and i'm so grateful for the amazing provider and proctector he is for our small little family. Happy Birthday babe, its going to be a good year. Love you!

lettuce and spinach and peas...oh my

My Garden! Built, planted and growing. I LOVE gardening so far!

This is our FIRST plant, spinach i think :)

And now it looks like this...

oh where to start...

So many pictures, so little to say about each one. But i might as well get them on here :) Enjoy

Our little swaddled sleeper

Jack's "car"

I asked John to run inside and get a hat for Jack so he wouldn't get sunburned...this is what he found...(a little small)

Then we found this one (a little big)

We had a little Birthday Party for Natalie and played the penny in the flour game, it was fun but Emily got the very dirtiest...and my camera died soon after this picture was taken so i didn't even get any of the birthday girl. Oh well.

William left his hat and glasses at the house, we couldn't resist :)

I think it's a good look for John. What do you think?

Jack hangs out with us in our bed first thing in the morning, this i sme trying to make the bed with him still in it, he thought it was funnny and so did we :)

Jack's not moving yet but he's trying... we sure love him!

Can you see  a little something in the background? That deserves a post all to its own...it's coming :)

crackers

Jack was chewing on a saltines cracker packet, it exploded. This is the result. Lol, i had to give him a bath!

smile

Remember that smile? The one that would someday melt the hearts of millions?

Well i don't know about you, but my heart is mush.

Goodbye grandparents and hello new brother-in-law!

I love my grandparents, and they are off to serve another mission, this time in the Nauvoo temple! I'm excited for them and think it will be an awesome/amazing experience. Thanks you two for all you do! We love you tons! (oh, and thanks for letting us hangout with you ALL weekend long)

We actually had a great weekend in Murray. Friday: parties, Saturday: yard work, run and yummy dinner at the Asian Star and Sunday: setting apart, church with the grandparents (which included a great farewell testimony from them both AND David Archuleta telling us how cute Jack was), after we had an incredible dinner with the Smiths and playing in the yard. It was a great weekend and was hard to come home and leave these wonderful people. We will miss you.

Oh, and Natalie, ya, she suprised us all by having this beautiful thing on her finger by Monday afternoon! We're so happy for her and William, thanks for letting Emily and i steal you last night! We needed to know details...ya know how it is :)

lions and tigers and bears...

Okay, so there weren't any lions or tigers...just bears. But they were babies and they were oh so cute. It was fun to see the bears at baby animal days...

The big red and white is back! It's almost as good as new and just about street legal. Oh we're so happy to have this truck back.
Jack is really loving eating lately. Lol, this happens only sometimes when he can't seem to stop grabing at the spoon, funny boy

The other night I was talking to Emily on the phone. I told her i'd better go so i can pay attention to Jack and then put him to bed. She thought i said i was going to take pictures of Jack and then put him to bed (like it was a nightly ritual or something) anyway, i thought it was a good idea so i took some pictures and put him to bed. These are what i got.

And last but difinatly not least is Jack making his latest favorite sound. I love it!

just pictures

Jack Loves his new high chair! And we love Jack (have i mentioned that lately?)

Oh little 7 and a half month old sits like a pro :)

And he loves his toes. I do too...

Lol, cute little boy

gosh i love my little boy
