April and May

We spent Easter in Fairfield. We had our own egg hunt with each kid assigned a color of egg to find. The egg hunters weren't very excited to have their picture taken :) but they were ready to find those eggs!


Brig liked finding one at a time and then opening it to see what was inside.
And why not take a break to pet Pretty Paws?
Brig made a good haul. Look at all of those blue eggs!
 Photo credit goes to Rachel for some of these pictures. I liked this one because you can see Papa firing the pistol to signal the start of the egg hunt :)
 The kids helping spread manure on the garden and playing together.


We had fun swinging and playing T ball.
That is one determined face Bridger!





After Easter we stayed for a week to play with Papa and Nana while Dad was in Moab mountain biking. Brigham loved the new baby kittens.

Benson liked hanging out with Papa

Jared celebrated his birthday with his favorite- triple berry cheesecake.

Brigham learned how to pedal his trike! He can cruise all over now, even to the mailboxes which are 1/2 a mile away.
Benson getting his tummy-time on. We just love his big, curious blue eyes!

Brig swinging with his best friend Anna.

Mother's Day morning with my handsome boys. I am so blessed to be their mother. They make me so happy!

Benson has the best smile.
For our 7th wedding anniversary Papa and Nana came 4 wheeling and then babysat while we went out to dinner. Then later we went to see Diamond Rio in concert. We made the mistake of being up close to the stage for the opening band, Outshyne. They were so loud that by the time they were done are ears were ringing and we both had headaches. So far the rest of the concert we stood in the way back. Diamond Rio was great and had fun songs to sing and dance along too.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Benson. So cute!
We took the boat out for the first time this year. The captain and his first mate.

Benson is 4 Months!

 Benson is growing up too fast! At four months he takes about 4 naps a day and eats 6-7 ounces every 4 hours. He is still a really good sleeper at night- just wakes up once to eat and then goes back to sleep for a few hours. He has really strong core muscles and likes to be sitting up-right or practicing standing on my lap. He enjoys rolling over onto his tummy and has recently learned how to roll back onto his back. He smiles all the time and is content as long as their are people around him. He loves people and will give everyone he meets a big crooked grin. He thinks Brigham is hilarious and lets out a low chuckle anytime Brig is around. Brigham can get him to laugh the best. He likes to pick up toys and hold them. He is starting to watch me very closely while I eat, so maybe next month we will start cereal. Most of his hair fell out last month but it is coming back nice and fuzzy soft :)











 Brigham is my little poser and loves having his picture taken. He also loves holding Benson.
