Fish in the Water

Adam took swimming lessons for the first time.  He loved it and did really well.  They said he could skip the next level and move on up, he was so comfortable in the water.  He will take lessons again in June.

 

 He took it with his friend Chandler, whom we found out is Adam's 3rd cousin!  Pretty funny, we never even knew!  

 I was impressed with all that they did in their class.  Adam now seems to think he can swim without floaties or a life jacket, but we're not quite there yet:)

 Poor Brandon, just wanting to jump on in too! 

 Just for fun, Ashley's first swim!

This Is Serious Stuff!

Itty Bitty Ball.....

Ashley's Baby Blessing

Ashley's Baby Blessing

Sunday February 5, 2012

I am finally getting around to posting pictures from Ashley's blessing.  Since we lost all our pictures, I am so thankful Erin had taken some, so we could remember this special day!

 I wish I had a picture with Ashley and Grandma together, because she is the one who made her beautiful dress and blanket.

 The FAM:)

It was a wonderful day.  After the blessing, we came to our house for a brunch.  We had breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls, yogurt parfait, muffins, juice, and hot chocolate.   We had all our Utah family there from both sides, even though I don't have pictures to show it:)
Ashley is so loved and it was a special day.  She stayed awake for the party and did not want to miss a thing.    

Ashley is such a calm and pleasant baby.  She is so alert and just loves to observe her new world around her.

Don't Make the Same Mistake!

I am just sick!  Our external hard drive crashed recently and we lost EVERYTHING!!  Well, not everything, but it seems like it.  The last time we backed it up was on Dec. 3rd, so we lost all our pictures, videos, journals, etc. from then on until the beginning of April.  It is just so disheartening, especially when Ashley changed so much within those first few months.  Luckily we have been able to scrounge up a few pictures from blogs, e-mails, and pictures my sister took, so it could have been worse, but I just wanted to remind you all to:

 TAKE THE FEW EXTRA MINUTES TODAY AND BACK UP ALL YOUR FILES:)    

Easter Events

Happy Easter!

I wasn't able to find Easter clothes for the boys this year, which I was sad about, but Ashley sure was fun:) 

I didn't get a picture of all the kids together either, so here is what we got! 

Easter Egg Hunt

Hmmm... How am I going to get those:)

Ashley figuring it all out... If I could only fit this in my mouth:)

Decorating Easter Eggs

Ashley must have been tuckered out with all the festivities.  She fell asleep on Papa Jones with him standing up.

Dying Eggs at Home

Joy School Easter Party!

We got to do it at our house.

Bunny Hop

Adam guessed the closest number of eggs in the jar.  I promise I didn't tell him!

We are always so spoiled around the Holidays!  It is such a fun time of life with the kids right now.  I love it!
