Where's The Baby?

Listen carefully...he really is talking! This is on Ice Age and we have now adopted it. It is Carter's new favorite game and mine.

When It's Raining...

This is what the boys do:

Rain isn't all that bad.

Sun Valley

This past weekend has been so great! Brian had a convention for work in Sun Valley on Monday and Tuesday and asked his Uncle Ken if we could go early and stay at his condo and he said of course!! So our whole family was able to go. We had high expectations and we were not disappointed! It was so beautiful with the season's first snowfall which the boys took full advantage of. Bri took them out to march through the snow. When they returned they were sopping wet and drenched in delight. They warmed up with some hot chocolate and nestled in to hear our Church leaders speak in General Conference. That evening we went swimming in one of the warm and wonderful outdoor Sun Valley pools. Sunday was filled with General Conference again and a breathtaking drive (while the boys took a much needed nap). It was a peaceful weekend thanks to a perfect setting and powerful messages from prophets and apostles. Monday Brian went to his work conference (Idaho Hospital Association) and the boys and I took a walk around and looked at the ducks and elegant swans. They love trudging through the snow and pretending to "ski" in their snow boots. They are the best of friends, I love it! That night we let the boys decide if we would eat out or get takeout. They both independently decided we would be eating out. It was pretty cute how they discussed their decision together after they both decided separately. We ended the evening with some more swimming and caramel apples. Today we went and saw the work horses and fed them some grass. This was Tyson's favorite! He really enjoyed it and even got licked by one. Marcus was a little apprehensive about feeding them but liked watching them. Sun Valley was so fun, and I feel just as Marcus and Tyson do when they sing their made up song,"Sun Valley is the coolest!" Thanks Ken and Patty.

Primary Program

Our primary program was today and we have been practicing all week. Marcus did so good and we are so proud of him.

We decided we couldn't leave Tyson out, so we had him memorize it too. They want you all to know who you are.

Caramel Apples!

While grocery shopping yesterday Marcus spotted a caramel apple package...he was with Dad when he made this discovery and so of course Dad was more then willing to get it. He was so excited to make them and had asked multiple times when we were going to make them, he had to be pretty patient but as you can see from the pictures it was well worth the wait.

Carter got in on the action too...he loved it!

This Week...

Carter started walking!

He isn't a pro yet, but on Tuesday he started taking his first couple of steps. He still prefers to crawl, but he likes to walk around like his older brothers.

Marcus and Tyson have really been enjoying pajama time lately. They have a whole lot of fun in their PJ's...I love this picture, they think they are so funny and can laugh at each other over just about anything.

Dad made the boys their first root beer floats, which Marcus thoroughly enjoyed.Tyson could have done without...you wouldn't think so from the photo but it is true! He loved to stir it around, maybe that is the reason for the smile.

I have also found another way to haul my dear kids around...like it? I sure do, who needs a double stroller?

Happy Birthday Grandpa Tom!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Tom! We didn't take these today, we celebrated his birthday last weekend when we were in Logan but since it is his birthday today...here are some pictures.I promise I teach him to use utensils but when it tastes so good, I guess he just forgets the fork!

He at least has a spoon! We hope you have a great Birthday Grandpa Tom - We love you!
