St. George and then onto Vegas!

So... we spent this last week in St. George with great friends camping and boating... yeah!! I'm so happy summer is here again! ... except that we had todrive to St. George to get some sun... it's cold and raining still here in Salt Lake. :( ... We had such a great time... the water was glass and wake boarding was so great. Ty loved the water... he's so brave... I even took a little time getting in the water and he was just splashing and loving it.

Drew and I then took off just the two of us for a few days in Vegas for our anniversary. I missed the Ty guy but we had a great time together. We went and saw KA by Cirque Du Soleil... it was amazing! I serious was nervous for some of the performers thinking they might fall or something. If you're ever in Vegas... I highly recommend it.

Happy 5 years!

Today Drew and I celebrate our 5th anniversary.... I can't believe it's been 5 years and at the same time it seems like we've been married a life time. Drew you are such a fabulous husband and these last 5 years together have been so great. You still make me laugh more than anyone I know and I love all our dumb inside jokes that no one will ever get but us. You are the best at so many things... like guitar hero, our finances, and being a dad. I love you more now than I ever have and I can't wait for the many years ahead. ps... I'll make you an ice cream shake and grill cheese sandwich anytime! :)

Ty's cute wave

So... Ty has learned to wave "hi" and "bye" and it is the cutest thing in the world. Every time we take him upstairs to sleep he waves to whoever is down below and the best part is when we take him downstairs in the morning ... when nobody is there... he waves and smiles as if someone is there... it's hilarious.

This second video Ty is watching his Baby Einsteins... he waves without taking his eyes off the T.V... it's so stinkin' funny. I love his new talent... skill... I don't know what you call it but I love it.

Bath Buddies

So this week during one of the Jazz play off games our friends were over watching the game... it was time for Ty's bath before bed and Sophie decided to join him. Bree saw how much fun they were having and jumped in with them and the our other friends little boy Brooks got down to his diaper and put his feet in. It was one cute party in the tub and the kids loved it. Ty was waterlogged by the time we finally pulled them out. ...Ty loves hanging out with his his buddies Sophie and Bree. Thanks to Tanya for being our photographer!

Happy Mother's Day!

First... I need to give a little shout out to my mom on this special day... Happy Mother's Day mom! You've always been such a great mom and I appreciate all that you do and have done for me... and I love you.

Second... this is my first Mother's Day as a mom! ... And I love it. Drew woke me up with french toast this morning... my favorite... and made a really cute card. Oh... and so far he has changed TWO of Ty's diapers... already it's a great day.

Can I just say how much I love being a mom. Ty is like the cutest little baby ever. My favorite thing about him these days is the way he is totally entertained by the simplest things... like the zipper on his jacket and his own fingers and toes... he's in his own little world when he discovers these things ... like 20 times a day... it's really cute. Also how he will by pass all his fun colorful toys to get his hands on the remote control or my cell phone.

To all the mom's ... and mother's in the future... on this special day... Happy Mother's Day!

*Thanks Tanya for the pictures!

This weeks projects

Is he not the cutest little bug ever... I just want to nibble on his nose and cute little cheeks. Since the weather was nice like two days this week... and snowing on the other days!... Ty and I were able to go for a walk. He was still bundled up... but loved every minute of being outside and in a stroller. I can't wait for this weather to make up it's mind and let us take walks every day.

Some fun projects I've been doing this week. My friend Amanda and got the idea to do these letters for all the seasons... I've only finished V-day so far..., family, and she did her girls names... aren't they so cute... and they have been so much fun to make and decorate.

Sylvie-Anne, Salem, & Silver Falls

I've spent this last week hanging out with my great friend Sylvie (friends from BYU-Hawaii)... she lives in Salem, OR while her husband attends Law School. She had a little baby girl... Leia... born the same day as Ty and we haven't been able to get together until now. The two kids had so much fun playing together... so did we.

Here we are at Silver Falls... it's so beautiful. The hike was a bit strenuous when you're caring an extra 20 lbs... and it even managed to rain and hail while we were making our way up the mountain... the kids were so great and didn't complain once.

You actually get to walk behind the falls... and get soaking wet... it's so fun.

Although it was a little cold... both Ty and Leia were toopers.

Of corse... we had to take a trip to the beach!

And here the two of them are having a blast in this awesome shopping cart... extremely hard to steer though. Ty would drive the wheel and Leia would look at him and put her hand on his shoulder... it was too cute.

People in the store kept asking if they were twins.

We had such a great time while we were there... the time went by way to fast. Ty's going to miss having a buddy to play with, eat with, and bath with.
