Utah Family

Nonnie and Laralee.  She has on Nonnie's pretty earrings from the wedding. 

Nonnie and her AL grandkids.

The kids loved Nonnie's cat, Suphie.  We had to get a picture with him.

Hartwell loved baby Grayden.  He kept giving him hugs and putting his binki in his mouth.

Laralee learned about Nintendo DS from her older cousins. 

Dave's wedding

My brother got married the beginning of February so we flew out to Utah to spend time with family.

Laralee and cousin Bailey

Cute little flower girls.

Uncle Mark was a favorite.

Laralee played with her cousin Taylor the whole night of the reception.  They had so much fun together.

Laralee has a fear of James because when she was little and we were out visiting her teased her and said he was going to eat her, she still remembers it and it's quite sure about him yet.

Grandma Patti, Masen, Mary and Mary roommate from BYU.

Hartwell and Grandpa Randy. He was a big hit with my kids since he kept feeding them donuts.
What are Grandparents for?

If you know Taylor, you this is a scary sight.  She doesn't need anymore chocolate, she already has plenty of energy.

Uncle Mark danced with all the little kids. 

Logan Temple

We went to Utah for my brother's wedding. While we were there we had a chance to go up to Logan and reminisce about the old days. 

We have a picture from our wedding with us standing in the same doorways.

Laralee loved seeing the temple in persons.  She said, "it's so big!"

It was freezing but the kids were so good to take a few pictures before we left.

Spring time

Our future pharmacist

Laralee found my wedding veil and has been wearing it around the house ever since.

We had a nice warm Saturday so we pulled out the bikes and enjoyed.

Ryan found this big tricycle for Laralee.

And Hartwell is getting her old one.

Laralee is always giving Daddy encouragement while he works on his "trucks"

After a long day riding bikes and running errands they both crashed in the car.  Her hair is scary!

He is so cute when he's asleep, don't let him fool you though.  He's really a little monster.

Craft Day

I found some fun Valentine crafts while looking at blogs yesterday so we decided to try them out.

We made a Valentine shirt for each of Laralee's cousins that we can give them this weekend.  She is so excited and we had a lot of fun making them.  Here is the blog I found the shirts on.  The only thing I would add to her directions is to just use your hands to press the doily down, we tried a rolling pin first and the doily stuck to the shirt bad. (Thank goodness it wasn't one of the shirts).  The cards we made as thank you notes for Christmas presents.  We just used the same paint and roller from the shirts.  Here's a link to that blog. Who knew that bubble wrap I saved from Christmas would come in handy so soon!  Both of these ideas I found on this blog, she has posted several more Valentine ideas.

While that was all drying we pulled out the finger paints, I think Laralee liked getting it all over her hands more than the paper.  I wish I would have got a picture before she washed them.  We had a fun morning and the both let me get a picture of them.  Lately they have been very camera shy.
