My grandma has a family reunion at her home on Memorial day. So on Monday we drove up to Cache Valley.This is my grandma and her two sisters. My grandma is on the left.
Parker and Nathan getting ready to hit the volleyball. What is a family reunion without volleyball?
Parker and my cousin Gracie. Parker was so sad to leave Gracie and her sister Olivia. On the way home he kept saying What are Gracie and Olivia doing mommy?
Nixon enjoyed himself as well.
Parker and Tate playing. When the three little boys get a little bigger they are going to have so much fun together!

Bathroom decorations

I'm a big believer in decorating your house with family pictures. So I've decided to decorate my bathroom with cute pictures of my boys. While I was in High School I babysat a family who had a pictures of their kids in the bath printed on tiles and hanging in their bathroom. I wish I could remember what family it was but now I'm stuck figuring it out myself. So has anyone ever transfered their pictures onto tiles?

Happy Birthday Nathan!!!

Today is Nathan's 26th birthday. We hope he has a good one. We started the celebrations early by singing to him last night. He was nice enough to let Parker blow out some candles as well. Parker is sick though so we cut him off a special section that he could blow all the germs on it he wanted!! Nathan is such a good dad and husband. Parker and Nixon light up when he comes home. Parker loves to go everywhere with Nathan on the weekends when we get Nathan home all day long! We are very lucky to have you in our lives Nathan. Happy birthday!!

To Nancy and Angie

Today we surprised my mom with a great Mothers Day gift. Lucky for you it will also benefit you both as well. Introducing the Nautica Party Island. Bear Lake 2009 here we come!!I know, I know, you are so excited for floating in Bear Lake this year. My mom was so excited she could hardly stand it. It comes with two coolers on the tube so we can bring out our water and sunscreen and food and the middle has mesh so the water comes in a little but you don't fall in! Just face it we are your favorite Niece and Nephew. See you in a few weeks!!!

Rub a Dub Dub

Nixon has started sitting by himself this last month leaving him victim to my photo shoots. I love how both pictures show the drool on his clothes. He is one wet kid!
I couldn't resist taking this one during conference last weekend. I looked down from listening to see what he was doing and he was also listening to our leaders speak!
He has found a new love for trucks. Mostly he loves to taste them.
Parker and I work on our fort while Nixon takes his naps and it is cold outside. I made the fort and that same day Nathan wanted to decorate it with Parker. I came down and found a No Girls allowed sign on it. It was mine and Parkers fort first you know!

Now that Nixon has mastered sitting up by himself its time to master the tub. He loves bath time with his big brother and squeals with excitement as we walk down the hallway to the bathroom. Parker likes to pass the bath toys to Nixon and Nixon likes to chew on them.

PS Spring time can come now...no seriously NOW

6 Months!

Today Nixon is 6 months old. He is such a fun happy baby. His personality is growing so much lately. He gets so excited for life and he lights up when someone new walks into the room. Don't mind my baby talk in the back ground just enjoy the happy baby. Also if you listen closely at the end of the video you can hear Parker say "Good Job, Nixon" It however sounds very little like Nixon, but its cute to see how he pronounces his name rather than just say "baby."


He started eating rice cereal the other day and to my surprise he loves it! This is what he looks like when he is done.
