What's been going on???

We've had a fun past few months! Here are a few things that have been going on:

The Pagent

A while back they asked my dad to be in Winslows "Alice's Guy" pagent. It's a fundraiser for an all womens shelter. I was suprised when he told them yes he would do it! They had swimsuit, talent, and evening gown competitions. My dad was a woman from the 1800's I guess you would call it?? He always had his gun and boots on. The whole thing was hillarious to watch! Here are a few pictures of him.

This was his 1800's swim suit. Some of the other guys weren't quite as covered.....!

For his talent he sang "Crazy" by Patsy Cline

Warmer Weather!!!!

I love the warm weather!! We always get together with my family and do a cook out down on the farm for FHE. It's always lots of fun! We've gotta get a few more in before the mosquitos come!

Cute Kids!

Dallin Boy

Oh he is getting big!!! And smart too! We just love having him around! He is always doing something new and funny that Andrew and I just look at each other and can't help but laugh. "No No" and been a pretty popular word that he has been hearing lately. Now everytime I say it, he points his finger at me and shakes it telling me "No No." He is such a little goofball! Oh and we finally have a TOOTH!!!!!!!

Another Cake!!

My cousin asked me to make her wedding cake and of course I said YES!!! I was so excited to get to make another one! I have really enjoyed making them!

Now.... we are ready for summer!!! I can hardly wait for this spring wind to be gone so we can enjoy the nice weather!

Another Challenge??

There is another biggest loser challenge starting! First weigh-in is on friday. If anyone is interested in doing it let me know so I can get you more info!

The Birthday Boy!

My Dallin boy turned 1 year old on saturday!!! I know I always say it, but time sure does fly by! We had a little party for him with family. He still likes wrapping paper more than toys but hey, who doesn't! Here are a few pictures of my 1 year old!

The Birthday Boy!

Lots of fun toys!

We needed alittle help from cousins.

Someone drew on a balloon with marker and Tanner found it!

I thought a monkey cake would be cute for him. He loves the 5 little monkies song.

He wanted to grab the fire instead of blow it out!

Cake time!

He wasn't sure what to think of it. It was more fun to play in!

I thought he looked cute in his church clothes playing on his toys.

Happy Birthday Dallin! We Love you!

March 2nd!!!

Its 3 years today!!!

Crawling!

Dallin started crawling about 2 weeks ago! Of course he started out slow but now he is everywhere! It cracks me up to see him pass by the hall going from room to room and listen to him giggle as he goes by. There are so many new things that hs just never knew where there that you can tell he wishes he would have found sooner like the dog food and the outlets. Dallin absolutely loves his daddy! At lunch time Dallin and I will be in the kitchen making lunch and when he hears the front door open he just starts squealing with excitement! I love it! It is just so much fun to watch him learn and discover new things every day. Here are a few pictures of him recently.

We had to lower the crib since he started crawling. He has now figured out how to pull himself up.

Waiting for dad to come back inside.





Its really fun to crawl under everything!



We love to take Dallin to see all the new baby calves on the farm. We usually go when Andrew gets home from work. I'll ask Dallin "where are the cows!?" and he'll look around and think really hard about where they are. Sometimes Papa is out there feeding so we'll usually help. He loves to get out of the truck to watch everything that is going on. I can already tell he is going to be and outside little boy.

I love the babies!









This is our Mamma



And this is her baby





We have always loved going out on the farm. It so pretty, even in the winter!

10 Months Old

My Dallin boy is 10 months old today! I can't believe that he'll be 1 year old in 2 months. It sure shows how fast a year goes by. He is so much fun and changing every day. We haven't quite gotten down the crawling thing yet. Although he still gets around by rolling side to side until he is in arms reach of whatever he wants (usually something he shouldn't be getting). He can get up on his hands and knees and sit from that position too so I know that it won't be very long before he crawls! He is one curious little boy and so when he does crawl ... Oh he'll be into EVERYTHING! We are still waiting on teeth too! I keep thinking any day now but still nothin yet!

His favorite toy (besides my cell phone) is a spoon or a spatula. Give him one of those and he'll be happy for a while! For Christmas my grandma gave him a cute monkey that is bigger than he is. He gets a kick out of hit when Andrew throws it on him while he is laying down. He loves to look at himself in the mirror. He laughs and thinks that he is just so cute! We laugh just watching him.

Oh what would we do without Dallin! He is so sweet and so much fun to have around! I can't remember what we did with out him here! He sure keeps us busy trying to entertain him!

He loves looking in the mirror!

Cousins!

His "my size" monkey!

A Little Bit of Everything

I love Christmas time! Its such a fun time of year! It was great! We stayed home and spent it with my famiy. We got to see so many cousins and their kids that we haven't seen for a while. We had our Christmas Eve party with everyone. We had a nativity, played Christmas songs on the chimes, and ate all the yummy food! This year I mad a Candy Cane Coffee Cake to take to the party. It was yummy! It rose a bit more than I thought it would but Oh it was good! I love all the baking at Christmas time!

All the little shepherds need a spatula to help them sit still. It was so funny!

Candy Cane Coffee Cake

I was so excited to see how Dallin was going to do Christmas morning with presents. He was so funny! He coulda cared less about any fun toys he got. He was more excited about the wrapping paper! He was entertained for quite a while with it! Rolling around in it, tearing it apart, tasting it.... JUST SO MUCH FUN!!!!

My boys!

The funnest part of Christmas!!!
