Pictures

Thanks Amy for taking these pictures. I think they turned out great!

Park City

Alex's Party





Here's a few lost pictures from different times where I used my camera phone. For a while I couldn't find the charger to our nice camera.

I thought Alex was so cute in these carts at Home Depot. I love carts like these to make shopping a little easier.


I don't see how kids can fall asleep like this.
Evan and Alex's first bath together.

I find Alex in this sleeping position all the time. How this is comfortable?
We went to a fun fast food place in Heber called the Dairy Keen. There are fun train displays, trains and toys to even play with and a train outside that you can eat in. Afterwards we went to the park across the street where Alex couldn't get enough of the swings.

Yes!!

No more diapers for Evan!!

Bye, bye diapers
Bye, bye mess
Bye, Bye dirty under pants :)

He's been diaper free for over a week now and doing awesome! This includes naps and night time.

Alex Turns a Year!!

I can't believe it!! My Baby is a year old. It seems just like yesterday I held this little guy for the first time in my arms. He went from this... to this! We were in Park City the day of his birthday so we didn't have his party till today so our family and friends could celebrate with us. We couldn't just not do nothing for his birthday so we had some fun at the park!
He loves slides!
That evening we sang Happy Birthday to him and let him practice eating cake.

It was his bedtime so he wasn't the happiest kid but still so cute!

He loved the cupcake!

And ate it all up!

He also loves ice cream!

Clean up in the sink.

Since I'm on the subject of Park City and these are the only picture I have of the trip I will just write a little break down about it. We went up with Matt's family. and rented Condos for the week.
Monday was the day we went up. For FHE we invited the Jensen's up to eat Pizza at Pizza Hut and to swim.
Tuesday I spent the day relaxing with the boys in the Condo waiting for Matt to come back from work. He did commute back and forth through the week for work but he wasn't the only one. We went out to dinner again as a family to Ruby Tuesday. Yum!
Wednesday was Alex's birthday. Not only did we play at the park and had a mini party for him, we did some shopping at the Outlets.
Thursday Amy, Cadence and Kory came up to spend a good portion of the day with us. We went shopping and swam. She did snap some photos so I will eventually get them from her and put them on here later.
Friday we shopped and swam some more :).
Saturday we came home and had Alex's party. Over all it was a fabulous week of relaxing, swimming and shopping!
I washed Alex's 1 shirt so he could wear it again because it's so cute on him.

He of course didn't wear it for long. Since cake is messy we had him open his presents first.

Evan and Cadence making sure the toys are safe for him to play with.

His loot

The cake



I was surprised he didn't eat the cake like he did the cupcake but we had a good laugh the way he ate it though.
Blogger is having a hard time uploading the video of us singing Happy Birthday to him and him going at the cake for the first time. I will try again later. The pictures show he doesn’t like the feel of the icing so he just uses his mouth for the most part.
How old are you Alex?

Ok I'm done!

Or maybe he was just thirsty because he normally loves baths.


Alex's friends came to party with him. They're just a few months younger then him but it's amazing how fast they grow in the first year.

Thank you to those who came and partied with Alex. We're so grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing us with him. He's so fun and we love him.
His 1 year Baby Well Check Up was re-scheduled for next Friday. I will post how big he's gotten.

27

Matt turned 27 just a few days after he graduated (May 4th). What a great present! We celebrated his birthday the Saturday before his birthday so we could also celebrate him graduating. We had the usual BBQ with Family and our friends the Halladay's joined us. He got some fun gifts but this one by far was the best one :). We can't wait for football season to start! Just a few more months!

He Did It!

A day that he(we) thought would never come finally did! Matt gradutated with his Bachlor Degree in Information Systems at Utah Valley University on April 29, 2011.

I'm so proud of Matt because this was not easy. I feel like I graduated myself in a way. The boys and myself love having him home more in the evenings.
Such a happy day for us!!

Proud Dad!
