Easter

Easter Baskets

One for each of us!

Easter Eggs

Caleb & I had fun...Coop was asleep at the time ;-)

...

Fun with cousins

Clap, clap, clap!

...

Coop's Easter consisted of:

Rushing to his basket, giving loves to his new gorilla, ecstatic over bubbles, admiring his new book, holding tight to his basket, kicking the eggs instead of picking them up, not knowing what eggs are, and smiling all day long.

Mr. Mischevous

We were both sitting in the toy room together, Coop was playing and I was watching a movie while Caleb was upstairs studying. I guess I was really into the movie and Coop was being so quiet I didn't bother to look over in the corner. This is what I found when I did :-) He thought he was so funny!

Happy St. Patty's Day Yesterday!

Sunny California

Cooper and I headed out to sunny California to visit Caleb's sister last week and had a blast in that warm, wonderful weather. Gabrielle (Caleb's sister) just moved into a new house and solicited my assistance in organizing the boxes. As we all know, I love to organize so to be doing so in California as well was awesome. We took many trips to the pool and had fun playing with cousins. Thanks Gay for having us! We loved it!

No Fear

He does this all on his own, no coaxing! He must take after his dad!

Club Trip to Europe

I am currently the Snowriders Club president at BYU. As we have been meeting throughout the school year, we began talking about the possibility of taking the ultimate ski road trip to France. Well, January rolled around, and prices dropped on flights, so we got the word out to the club, and had 3 couples, 3 single guys, and my dad and I sign on. Cassi was more than invited but chose not to go since she had already been to Chamonix. We set out on the journey, and these are a few of the pictures.

It was an awesome trip.

My dad and I spent three days with the club in Chamonix and then ventured out to visit some other areas. We met with the sales director of a lift manufacturing company in Geneva, Switzerland, visited that region for a day, and then flew to Rome. After attending church at the local ward, we set out on our quest to see as much of Rome as we could. I'd say that we did pretty well.
from left to right from the top: waiting for the train in Chamonix to go to Geneva, having lunch in front of the Roman Colosseum, The Arc of Constantine, view of the Colosseum, Caleb the Great, Afternoon Colosseum with Moon, us in the line for the Vatican Museum tour, School of Athens, The Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, Dome in St. Peter's (largest brick dome in the world), me in St. Peter's Square, us in front of the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, us at the top of the Spanish Steps.

Kisses!

We have one sweet boy!

Digiscrapping

So my Dad got each member of my family Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 because he had used it for a project last year and loved it so I am in the process of transitioning from paper Scrapbooking to Digiscrapping. These are a couple of my first pages. I'm still learning but I have decided it's the best new thing since sliced bread! (I still haven't journaled them yet so that is why there is an empty space.)

10 Months

Do you ever have those days where you think your kid is just the cutest kid in the whole world?

If you're like me, on those days, you go crazy with the camera ;-)
