Tevin's Spring Finds!

Tevin had his first popsicle. First he went to grab the whole popsicle with both hands. He has now learned the joy of the stick at the end keeping your hands from freezing. He has also developed a love for the wonderful---VANILLA WAFER--as you can see by the one he licked and glued to his cheek for later. He is such a fast crawler that now I wonder if he will learn to walk as early as we thought. He has learned his knees get him everywhere and is a serious master of stairs. He also got on the mini motorcycle with dad today and refused to get off. He would keep holding on until daddy took him again. He had a great time and this may be the child Bosco has dreamed of loving to ride! Dally was just loving the sunshine!

Finally Spring!

Well, this weekend has been busy yet again! Diane had another competition at Roy High School and did incredible. She added a few flips to her rally as she entered the floor so she was hot stuff today! We're still anxiously awaiting cheer tryouts. Her mom got to come see her today so that was really fun and then we all went to lunch at Wingers. It's always nice to get together. It's very warm today so we also got to spend a little much needed time outside and I straightened the garage a little that that Grandma had so wonderfully cleaned when I had Tevin. I hope to get out a little more and maybe work on the lawn. Just a great day!

More cuteness!

There's just to much to tell so I'll let the pictures do it. The kids wanted some action shots so here they are!

LDS Conference Weekend

On Saturday Diane had a Cheer Competition at the E Center in Salt Lake. We got to go watch her perform and she did great, just like always. She's on pins and needles as she prepares to try out for her school cheerleading team on April 25th. We know she'll be great. We made it back home on Saturday and everyone got to relax and watch a little conference. On Sunday we got out the Conference Packets Aunt Jennie sent to us and the kids loved doing them and got a lot more out of the conference than usual. (So did mommy with the little ones busy watching. Thanks Aunt Jennie!) The kids enjoyed getting to know the new Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and all about his life. During the afternoon break we made a trip to the park in Layton. They fed the ducks and played on the playground. While mommy was sitting taking pictures she got splattered by segul poop of course-can you believe it! The kids thought it was the funniest, so I guess it was worth it. We made shish-ka-bobs after the afternoon session and some pineapple upside down cake. They helped with everything and we really had a great time together! Love them to pieces, now you know why I call them forever smiles. The smiles they give me stick with me forever and ever!

Tevin's firsts!

Tevin has had a lot of fun recently. He is starting to eat some table food which he is certain makes him a big boy. He has this new thing with clicking his tongue when he gets around, growling to daddy like a lion, turning his eyes down and his head up when he looks at you (so cute it's a personal favorite), and he has learned how to kiss on the lips! What a guy and a pretty good kisser if you like a lot of slobber. He also had his first beaters from mixing brownies and wasn't so sure at first but then he realized the stuff is good! He had his first swing in the big boy swing and visited the ducks. He has his two upper front teeth and one trying to come in at the bottom so that will make five. He turned 10 months on the 3rd and he's our little BUDHA! We all just eat him up. The giggle would melt you in a flash.

Diane's Birthday

Diane just turned the big 13!! I keep telling her I'm so glad she's a giggly overly talkative teenager! This year she had the big girl birthday and got to go to the mall and shop for her own birthday clothes, and boy can this girl shop! Grandma, Aunt Jennie, Maddie, Brynee, and Emmie came to visit for the occasion so it was a real girls day. Di had a cake with 13 candles and had her favorite dinner of roast and potatoes. Of course I couldn't resist turning the potatoes a lovely green for the St. Patrick's day birthday girl! Tev thought the candle was a hit and is looking forward to his birthday. They sure grow up fast!

Happy Easter!

Tevin and Mommy went to Grandma Guilbert's for Easter. Diane and Tristan went to Pocatello to be with Mommy Irene and Dahlia went to Arizona to visit Mommy Kim. Everyone had a great time! Tevin got to celebrate at his first Easter Egg Hunt and as you can see he really liked the candy and blue colored lips from the Easter Eggs! The kids even shared with Maya the dog. Tevin has lots of cousins to play with and keep him busy. Aunt Marilyn and Cousins Jessie and Cheryl came to visit from California and Tev had fun getting to know them. We had a huge picnic and a great visit at Grandma's yet again!
