My Mom!

My mom has been here for the past three weeks to help me out while Jason was at a training in Baltimore. It has been wonderful having her here. It's kind of like having a clone of myself, actually. I think of something that needs to be done and without saying anything about it, I turn around to find her doing it! It's incredible!

She has taken over all the sewing projects that have piled up on my sewing machine. Lily's "gee-gee" that was made for her by Joanne Domm, has been falling apart for months. It has more patches and rips than are countable. The inner lining was popping out all over the place. It has been well used and she's not ready to give it up. That blanket is still her blanket of choice. So we decided to give it a makeover! She now has a pillow to match it as well!

This is the old covering for her blanket.

Thanks Mom!

Linc can now say, "Nana, Mama, & Dada" He's working on waving good-bye, and signing all done. He eats like a champ and makes the funniest faces when tasting new foods.

He loves to take baths! Look at those cute muffins!

He's Everywhere!

One of his favorite places in under the kitchen table.
He currently says Dada, Mama, and likes to make clicking noises with his tongue. He likes getting into trouble...he thinks it's funny! He also likes to chase me all over the house. He can't wait to run with his sisters. He currently watches them, laughs, and kicks his legs while they run around. All of the outlets in our house are now covered. He just can't control himself around outlets and doorstoppers! They're just too much fun!

Happy Easter.....Everyone needs a Carolyn!

Our friend Carolyn came to visit us during her vacation.

We enjoyed having her here for four days!


Heidi was one of Carolyn's missionaries who happens to live here too!
She came to take Carolyn up to Salt Lake for General Conference.

This picture is for Nana!

My 4 year old with bangs! -Now if I can only keep her from thinking it's okay to cut her hair every time I turn around. I keep finding clumps of hair everywhere! We might have to get a short hair cut again if she keeps it up!

The little man.

Look what my sisters put on my head!

Happy Easter!

"Choke me Daddy"

"My turn!"

Awesome Easter eggs!

Jason was one of the first people to introduce her to the Gospel!

We dragged Carolyn to the Valley of Fire with a ton of other kids.
She was my extra set of hands. The other moms wanted to have a Carolyn
too!

We hiked around for awhile.

Played in the sand.

Chloe had a great time with her best friend Brooklyn.

Lily loved hangin' out with Madelyn.

"Mouses' Tank"

This is just before the wind started to pick up. It blew so hard...we were happy to pack up and go home! I ate some sand that blew into my sandwich, Lincoln had some on his banana, Chloe almost got blown off the mountain she was climbing, Lily almost blew away on our trip to the outhouse that caused major gagging and of which, she refused to use, and Carolyn's shoes kept leaking sand for the next two days.

Fun stuff!
