This last weekend was spent in Sanpete, it was so much fun. Here's a few pictures of our adventures, rock climbing, hiking, eating, walking, spending time with cousins...

Jack slept on the bouldering pad, he was nice and snug :)

Jordan showed up the ropes, good times

Grandma and Grandpa V brought McClean up for a picnic, those two loved being outside, but Jack was tired and was trying to get comfy any way he could

These two were so cute together, we took them for a walk and they loved it.

Sunday and Monday was spent with the Olsen's, my mom got some pictures so you can check out her blog, but i guess i lost my camera for a few days :) It was so good to relax Sunday and then get the yard ready for the wedding Monday. Thanks for the great weekend everyone!

Baby or lamp shade? You decide...

Why is Jack in a lampshade you might ask? Well if you know his father, you'd wouldn't bother asking :)

We've had a full house lately. I've got two sisters staying with us this month, one because she's still working and the other because she's just had her last foot surgery and i get to keep her company. My mom's here to take care of her since her surgery was today and William's been around a lot too since Natalie's been here. Good times, good family. We're excited for the upcoming wedding.

This morning i was getting ready for my run and asked if John wanted to come with--usually he doesnt, but today he said he would ride the bike with jack on back while i ran. So we went about getting Jack ready for the run. This is the end result. i dare say, he was pretty toasty. We love him....

Mother's Day

Well here i am, finally got all the technicalities of going private figured out and i thought i'd better send a shout out to mothers! First of all, we're so grateful for our mothers. For the things they've taught us and for the many things they still do for us. They are the best and we love them so much.

Our mothers day was....eventful....Jack cut his first tooth! (wahoo) and he was extrememly constipated :(, i'll spare you the details but lets just say it was miserable....completely. He is now almost regular again (Thank goodness). John spoiled me (like always) and made breakfast, got Jack ready for church, helped with dinner and did the dishes (have i mentioned lately i have the greatest husband in the world)

The tooth is in there....but almost impossible to see since his tongue always follows his lower lip right out and covers the tooth. It's just a little stubby now, but we'll work on getting a shot :)

And this is our awesome, colorful dinner (hawiian haystacks-yum), and me saying "happy mother's day" and cheesing it big time. So here's my shout out to all women, Happy Mother's Day! It's a great day to celebrate (even a few days late)

Here we go

Hey everyone, i'm switching over our blog jevanorman.blogspot.com will change to our pre-blog (if everything goes as planned) and jekvanorman.blogspot.com will be our actual blog, and will be private. I'll post on the pre-blog when we've updated so that then you can head on over to our real blog and check it out. You shouldn't have to change our address's in your blog roll since the pre-blog is the one that will be there. I'm trying it. Wish me luck

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 :)
