Boys Only

When snow is flying and covering all it touches (STILL), there is only one thing to do. Take cover and get cozy under a blanket fort! Next, make yummy snacks and watch Star Wars.

Forced love?

I had to bribe Cohen with candy bars to get him to sit still and hold Ryder long enough for a few pictures. A couple turned out cute, but it's clear you just can't force love...

Cohen did admit to me though that he does love Ryder!

Cohen took this picture of Ry and I.

And this one too!
I think Cohen rather be the photographer than try to be photogenic.

Kaden and Desi

We had my sister's kids over tonight and with 4 kids and 2 dogs I felt a little cramped in our one living space, but I also loved it and so did Cohen. He loves his cousins and Ryder and the dogs love the extra attention.

Cohen, Kaden and Desi played Elefun and some other games.

Ry hung out and practiced his tummy time.

First trip to the park for Ryder!

We were so excited when we finally had a warm enough day to go to the park! Spring always feels long overdue when those bitter cold and windy days seem to drag on and on. It was still a bit chilly, but we brought blankets and jackets and enjoyed the sun rays on our face!

Slumber PaRtY!

For my sister's 25th birthday we kept her kids over night so she could go play. Cohen was so excited to have Kaden and Desi over and we had fun making a big bedroom out of our front room!
Desi just adores Ry and Cohen and was a big helper with them.
Kaden had so much fun playing the WII with his uncle Scotty.


Happy Birthday Telly! We hope this is a really great year for you and your sweet kiddos!

There are no words to describe...

...how a peaceful moment like this feels.

Growing Families, Growing Friendships

Over the years different friends have moved out of the city, county or state and with growing families and more responsibilities we all have less time to get together and more time passes between seeing each other.
We have so much fun when we do get the chance to see our friends from out of town! The Dixon's came down from Idaho Falls to visit and we all met up at the Avery's in Lehi to catch up.

Ashley and I were pregnant with our two boys together and they are couple months apart. They are just adorable!
