Babies

This week must have been a great week to give birth. First my very good friend Kathryn gave birth on Monday to a baby girl, Ivy. Then Tuesday my sister gave birth to a 9lb 11oz Dallin. Poor Dallin was in the NICU most of the week for uncontrollable glucose levels. I'm happy to say he is finally home with his mommy, daddy, sisters, and brother!

For us this week hasn't been that eventful. Unfortunately that is due to the weather being so dreary all week long. We were planning on attending the Temple this week but we decided to push that back to next Friday instead. Although we didn't go together this week I was able to go with a friend and it was such a good experience just to go for myself and it helped me realize that although sometimes we might not have a ton of opportunities to go with our spouses, we can still go to do work for another.

Before I finish this post with pictures, I have to share one of the cute things William did today. There really are many but this was by far my favorite. For Sunday school I sit on the chair closest to the back and nearest to the door. Of course I'm also the very first person into the room on Sundays so the door pretty much stays open for at least 10 minutes after I sit down. Keeping a 13 month old on my lap for 10 minutes is near impossible unless of course he is asleep which I assure you is a rare occurrence at church. Now that I've set up the scene for you, I'll get on with it. I let William down to walk and at first he is walking around the room, flirting with the ladies, getting into people's scriptures then the next thing I know, he is waving bye bye and heading out the door to wander the hall way. When did he learn how to tell me goodbye without me prompting him by saying bye bye? Maybe this isn't as great to you as it is to me but the sight of him waving as he exits is hilarious. I promise I'm not the only one that had a chuckle at the sight. No lie this happened more then a couple of times during the two hour block. I'm very much impressed by my little boo boo.

Clark County Fair

My brother has been asking the last two weekends if I will update my blog. Apparently the walking videos have gotten extremely boring. He also pointed out that it has been a WHOLE month since the last time I posted. So here ya go Trent, Clark County Fair pictures! I still have at least two more scrapbook pages to do for the fair and another one from that same weekend. And I can't forget the most momentous occasion in 2011, William's 1st birthday!! I promise, those pictures are on my agenda for next week!



This last month has been full of business/laziness. I taught my 3rd Relief Society lesson today. It was about developing our talents and it went extremely well. The Lord guided me with what needed to be taught and the spirit helped the sisters respond. I know this has only been my 3rd lesson but it by far went the best. Thanks to Kaden I didn't have to worry about wrangling William the last two hours of church. I have the best hubby!

Kaden has gotten better and better at his new job. He is enjoying the job and really likes his boss. Now that its warmer outside he is looking for any opportunity to go golfing. Last weekend we went and had a good time. It was the first game of the season and boy are we rusty. I'm a lost cause but Kaden will be up to pro status by the end of summer (hopefully).

William is obsessed with playing outside. We open the door to let the dog in and he books it, then has a meltdown when we catch him and shut the door. We've been outside almost everyday this week. Thankfully the weather has been fantastic up until yesterday.

We bought season passes to Seven Peaks for this summer. We can't wait to go and get our tan on!
