Toys

This is what I found after I told Ryker to clean up his room.


I find it so hard to get a picture of my boys where they are both smiling, so I just had to post this cute picture.

Easter

We had a great Easter this year. The boys loved the Easter egg hunts. We had one at my parents house, a nursing home, and at Abe's parents house. Needless to say, we have plenty of candy that I'm trying not to eat all of.

This is at the nursing home. They had thousands of eggs!

Gage had his 15 month check up today. He is now 23 lbs (30%) and 32 inches (80%). He's only gained 10 oz. in the last 3 months. He is definitely thinning out. I was actually a little surpised he hadn't gained 5 lbs, he eats so much food.

Funny Ryker

I need to write down some of the funny things Ryker has been saying lately because I know I'll forget if I don't. Every day this kid cracks me up. Here's just a few of the things he's been saying.
-Ryker has had an imaginary friend named Bo for about six months. Bo comes with us wherever we go and sleeps with him every night. Lately he has had another imaginary friend who he says is his little sister. I asked what her name was and he said "Luke Skywalker."
-Ryker says "Oh my cow!" all the time. I'm pretty sure its a combination of "Oh my gosh" and "Holy cow."
-Today Ryker brought me one of my hair claws and asked, "Is this a hair shark?"
-I love listening to him pray. Every time I have to try not to laugh. He says the funniest stuff each time. When praying over dinner he thinks to bless not only the food, but the drinks, table, and plates as well.
-There's a man in our ward who has gray hair and a gray beard and was sitting on the stand because he's in the choir. Ryker looked at him and asked me, "Is that Heavenly Father?" Me and Abe just started cracking up.
Thanks for making me laugh every day Ryker. I love ya!!

Why We Keep Our Bathroom Doors Shut

At our house we all try to remeber to shut the bathroom doors so Gage doesn't go in. If we forget Gage will always go in and come out with wet sleeves (from playing in the toilet) or with someones toothbrush in his mouth. However, this time he found a new toy.

Happy Anniversary!

Six years ago today Abe and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. Marrying Abe was the best decision I have ever made. I really did marry my best friend, and I can't wait to see what the next six years brings. Happy Anniversary babe!

Spring is almost here!

Here's a couple pictures I took on Saturday. I love that it's starting to warm up a bit. Ryker loves to help Abe build anything in the garage, and Gage just loves to be outside.

East Canyon and Skiing

I know it's been forever since I last posted, and I'd like to say that I was way busy but I really wasn't, I guess I was just a little lazy. Anyways, last weekend we stayed up at East Canyon, all 33 of us in two condos. We played a ton of games, ate a ton of food, went hot tubing, went sleding, and played Wii for hours. Like always we all had a blast!

Gage is getting so big, and is now walking everywhere.


My kids really have the best grandma. My mom always brings all these different kinds of crafts for the kids to do. She had already taken pictures of her 18 grandkids and then had them paint a frame to put their picture in. Here's Ryker painting his lion picture frame.

Ryker, Tate, Brooke, and Bryson

Abe's family has this great tradition where Abe's Dad takes us all skiing for his birthday. That's right, he pays for all of us to ski for his birthday present. We all really look forward to his birthday each year. This was the first year we took Ryker. He did a great job and was fast learner.


Aren't those skies the cutest thing you've ever seen!
