Hoppy EASTER!!!

Thank you Zack Lily and Nic for my new bunny....
We are really excited to have someone to share the holiday's with. Easter is no different!! Shaydon has been such a blessing in our life. His happy go lucky personality is coming out & I just love it!! He is such a scheduled baby!! Clock work as Scott would say. Down for bed at 8:00pm and up at 7:30am and ready to eat. I enjoy my evenings getting stuff done, but find myself checking on him every 15 minutes. I am always watching him sleep tucking his bear around his head and giving him kisses hoping he doesn't wake up, but oh well if he does. We just LOVE him...
&
all of this is possible because our heavenly father gave us the opportunity to start a family we owe all of this to him. We are forever indebited to him. We love our savior and are so GRATEFUL for his sacrifice for us.

What a group of kids!!!!

Andrew, Jackson, Trey, Shaydon & McCall

We all knew each other before we had kids and now our family's are growing!!! We were the only families in Carl's Jr. at 9:30am. It's the perfect time to go and have breakfast and let the kids run around. Thanks for meeting us!!!

Lucky Peak


We went for a drive up to Luck Peak to check the water levels and see how soon we might be able to go wake boarding. Last year we hit the lake the weekend after Easter and that is only two weeks away!
I have never seen the lake frozen over and snow on the mountain so late!!!
I guess we are a little anxious this year

After our drive we had dinner reservations at one of our favorite places. Looks like it is one of Shaydon's favorite places too.

Roxy had to say in the car.

Sleeping Bags

Sommers'

I got this 3 or 4 years ago from my mother-in-law for Christmas. All of her girls and the in-laws get soooo cold so she thought this was the perfect gift, even in red my favorite color!!
Shaydon's

Alisa got this for Shaydon at the Logan warehouse sale from JJ Coles!!
It has saved us this cold winter.
(This is for you Jessica)

Feeding the Ducks...

March 6th 2008

Muffins and Croutons


It was such a nice day at the Park




Even though Trey is older than Shaydon they are such good friends!!!



(Rebecca was suppose to watch Shaydon while I got my hair done, but Justin wanted to surprise her with a afternoon at the spa so my cousin watched Shaydon. I wanted to give Rebecca her Birthday present so we meet her at their house and when we got there Trey wanted Shaydon to go to the park with him. So we did. I have to lie to Rebecca and tell her my appointment got canceled so she wouldn't feel bad and ruin the surprise. We were going to do some shopping anyway.)

Vinal Letters



These letters sure seem to be the rage lately!! I like them but just didn't think they fit my "style". I saw this idea at a Christmas open house and thought I could do it. It's now March &
I just finished it. I am not sure I will leave it on this wall, but it's there for now (so i could take a photo, notice my GREAT spacing I eyeballed it)!! I have a blue wall in our bonus room but need to do some rearranging. I thought it looked best on a shelf, mantel or fireplace. The whole point is that you can see the wall color behind it. It was super easy.

I choose my fonts & sizes and my friend Kirsten cut my letters out for me, she has her own business called http://www.makeimpressions.com/.

Shaydon & Andie

Play Group #7
I am sure I will loose count soon......

They sure have fun together!!!

We love you Shaydon!!!
Your 6 Months now!!!

Congratulations Scott....


Today is your last day at Albertson's/Supervalu. Thanks to them for 4 years in the Income Tax Department. We are so proud of you & know you are leaving some friends for life. We are really excited for your new adventure at
We love you and thank you for your sacrifice and working so hard for our family!!!

(Here is a little story about this bouquet of cookies!! I have never been good at making sugar cookies, but I continue to think I can do it ~ so here it goes. I wanted to do something special for his new job opportunity and I thought it would be fun to have one of those cookie lady baskets delivered to his office. As I started to look at how much they cost I decided I could do it myself for cheaper since we are on a stricter budget with me not working full-time. It started at 1:00pm trip to wal-mart to get the pre-made sugar cookies and a few other items listed on the recipe from the food network. Well to make a looooong story short i finished as Scott got home from work at 5:30pm. Don't mind the 1st batch of cookie dough, it just ran all over the place, then the second that was burnt, but I used it. I soaked the popsicle stick with water before baking. Then I used Ziploc bags to do the writing. I am very proud of these hard as a rock cookies, but I will NEVER make sugar cookies again. Eat at your own risk.)

Girlfriends

Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you or come in and carry you out.

Thanks for being such a GREAT FRIEND I don't know what I would do with out you in my life, I love you!

CARROTS Shaydon's 1st Vegie!!!







I have been working with Shaydon on eating solid food, It's only been a few days. I decided to start with carrots. I asked Scott if he wanted to feed him tonight and so he thought he had his work cut out for him but he didn't know that Shadon likes his carrots. Scott didn't know when to stop feeding him because he wanted more!!!

Logan, Utah

Bailey Brown Blessing
Sunday 2, 2008 9:00am


This is the little gift we gave Bailey! It's a silky pink Bear blanket. Larry gave one to Shaydon because Nic loves his & thought Shaydon should have one too, so we thought Bailey should have a pink one.



We had a Fun weekend with Family. It started off by dropping off Roxy to my parents in Burley on Friday night and then leaving for Logan on Saturday morning. Shaydon is such a good traveler he just slept the whole way there. As soon as we checked into the Hotel we went swimming with all the cousins!! It was Shaydon's 1st time in a pool, he loves his baths so I knew he would love the pool. For Christmas Scott got me a pass to Roaring Springs and It is going to get used this summer. That afternoon we just hung out, snaked & took naps. That night we ate a the Blue Bird Restaurant with all the Gerratt and the Brown families there were about 35 of us. It was fun having everyone there. That night we did a little shopping at DownEast, Wal-mart and the SEI outlet. I could of spent hours more at the scrapbook store. I'll be back. Ben did a GREAT job blessing Bailey, it was a full circle. There is sure lots of love for her. After we went to Alisa's for a Brunch. We just visited and then everyone headed home. Look at the pix of our fun weekend.

Play Group #3

Shaydon & Andie have tummy time together.
