EASTER!!

We had a very fun filled Easter weekend! It started here: This is the Eagle Mountain Easter Egg Hunt. Jon was working all weekend, but was able to help out at the age 0- 3 yrs station. Because so many parents took eggs and baskets away from kids last year...the kids had to fend for themselves this year! Parents were only allowed to cheer them on from the sidelines.

Kristian was just beyond fascinated at the large amount of people at the park! He tried hard, and despite his curiosity of watching everyone else he managed to get two eggs of his very own! As we dumped the candy out into his bucket he looked into it and kept saying "cool!". It was fun to spend that time with Dad, even if he was working!




Dallin went out to hide a few eggs it Jodi's back yard. Kristian had fun since there was no one between him and a basket full of eggs!


We like to watch movies in the car, and here we are teaching Kristian to get used to the headphones. For a while Jon used to put the movie on and then switch it to the radio for himself...Kristian soon caught on and knows when the sound of the movie isn't there. Hopefully he'll get more used to these so that everyone is happy!


We got back and had some cake and icecream for Dallin's Birthday! Here Kristian helps blow out the candles!

Kristian Helps Addison Roll Over

Kristian and Addison really do love each other. Its fun to see how excited Kristian gets around Addison and he is alway SO willing to help! Addison loves Kristian too as she really enjoys watching him bounce around the house. She always smiles at him and he can make her laugh like none of the rest of us can.
Here is a fun video where Kristian helps Addison roll over! Addison sure is sweet to put up with the torment she gets from her big brother at times...

During our visit to Grandma and Grandpa's we were able to spend a little time playing the Wii. Kristian was watching us play the bowling game and saw that we were holding little controllers...so he went and found himself a remote control and started using that in the same manner we were because he wanted to participate.
So, we found him a controller of his own (they have a strap you put over your wrist so that you won't be able to accidentally throw it out of your hand) and we let him play Bowling with us. When Kristin gets involved with sports (watching, playing, etc.) he gets this "sports voice" this really low, kind of a growl voice which you can pick up on in the video. Here is Kristian playing the Wii at Grandma's! It really is a fun thing to have...

Our Visit To Grandma and Grandpa's!

Jon had to work 72 hours at Sandy so the kids and I headed up to Grandma Jan and Grandpa Brads house for the weekend.
Kristian loves to help Grandma sweep, mop, dust... anything! If there's a broom in the room...Kristian will find it!

Heather and Ali stopped by and it was fun watching the two of them play together!



We then got Kristian and Addison together for a couple of cute pictures!







Kristian really did have fun! He especially loved how Grandpa Brad would run around with him and let him chase him. We tried having Grandpa chase Kristian but Kristian quickly learned he didn't like that as the "fear of being chased" made him run faster than his little legs could carry him.
I think one of the favorite things was hearing how Kristian says "Heavy".. whenever Kristian would carry anything heavy (and sometimes things that weren't heavy) he would say in a deep voice said "HEAVY!" I will try and get it recorded and share it with you all later! The family sure did enjoy seeing what a character he can be once he gets warmed up! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting us come spend a weekend with you! It was a great visit and look forward to the next time!

My Cute Purple Dress!

Well... I must say I knew I'd be good at this! I'm terrible at getting pictures taken, then getting them downloaded, then Bloggin' them. SO please bear with me as I learn to push myself to do better! I'll get them all up and going eventually!

This is Addison in her cute purple dress! Just thought I'd share because I personally think she is super-cute!!!

Our Darling Family!

Addison's Blessing!

Ok.. so please forgive me! It has taken me WAY too long to get these pictures up here! We blessed our sweet little Addison in our home on January 27, 2008. It was such a special experience doing it in our home! We are so happy and grateful that so many of our close friends and family were able to make it to share this special day! Grandma Jan made Addison's beautiful blessing dress and Grandma Cindy gave her the darling head bow and cute little bracelet. Its fun to have everyone be a part. We sure do love our darling kids!!




Dallin took these cute one with his camera! I wish (even if my camera could do it) I wish I knew how to make my pictures looks this great!
