One active baby!

I remember having a two week old baby (never having a child before I wouldn't know any different) and everyone telling me how active he was. Even to this day (that phrase makes it sound longer than it is) he doesn't sleep as long as an average infant his age and he is always going! Most recently, he has figure out that he can move his legs! Some might say the spastic nature of the movements is due to his just learning this skill, or maybe built up energy. I think maybe it's at least partially due to his mom's spastic responses when he does stuff like this. Ether way, he continues to be one energizer bunny - who keeps going, and going, and going... All of this movement ended up being a precursor to another growth spurt - which means more sleep and lots more eating (even with the more sleep for baby, mom is still tired). He's a healthy growing boy! Just what we prayed for :)

Roll Over!

Cadence and I have been practicing rolling over for a couple of weeks now. He was getting so good at it that we let him try it today by himself. We were successful! He's still a little rusty, but it gets easier every time. I was glad that we had the camera for his first time!

Easter Weekend

We had a fun-filled, CRAZY Easter weekend!
We were exhausted by the end but had a lot of fun.

Ian, Cristina, & Atley came down for the weekend. Taylor also stopped by for awhile on Saturday. Here are some fun pictures! Atley just loves Cadence! He couldn't stop looking at him and touching him!
Here they are holding hands! HOW CUTE!
Austin had a lot of help from friends (Kory, Matt, Joseph) in taking down the deck and cleaning out the backyard. This isn't even all of the stuff they had to take to the dump!
Now it's more of a wooden porch than a deck, but it looks much nicer! GOOD JOB GUYS!
My wonderful husband asked me to go with him to the BYU Alumni Ball. We had a lot of fun, while Cadence slept the night away with his Aunt Maria at home. They had dancing, free pictures, hors d'oeuvres, and entertainment! We had a great time!On Sunday, we had Maria, Jaylyn & Sadi, the Britton's & Heidi, & the Dopp's over for Easter dinner after church. We have a tradition of getting Hi-grade ham! YUM! It's the best. We always get a big one so we have plenty of leftovers. Then, we sang in the stake easter fireside with Kory and Shay Dopp!
What a fun weekend!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

CAUGHT ONE!!!


Cadence is so intrigued by the phone and camera it took forever to get one. It's not the best, but I finally caught one! I LOVE IT!

BIG BLOWOUT!!

Sorry savvy shoppers, this isn't a sale! It's a huge mess for a diaper change. This week, Cadence topped 'em all! He's been a little sick, so it's no surprise. Are hands were so busy we didn't get a chance to take pictures. Let's just say it ended in a bath, taking out the trash, a load of laundry, and our bathroom sink overflowing! What a CRAZY day!
