Marchy March...


Oh' man! March! I finally got pictures off my camera, so I'm briefly going to try and catch up, mostly for journal reasons. So here we go...

Oscar eating his first solids...
His face my say otherwise, but he LOVED it! He's definitely our little eater. I can't eat in peace anymore. If I'm eating or in the kitchen, he's there at my feet. But not just sitting there... he's crying, whining and trying to climb through and up my legs. Daily fun right there. ;)


We visited Utah for a week or so. The Rickers and Rickters went in my parents Denali and traveled the 13+ hours. Leslie and I were planning on traveling back alone (as the boys were only staying for the weekend), but after the 13+ hours of fun, we called up our dad and said "daaad?" He flew out that next weekend and drove us home. Spoiled much? ;) He did get to visit with his mom when he was there, and he's quite the momma's boy... so we felt okay about it :)

Our first night we called up our Salt Lake/Provo friends and had them meet us at our favorite Pupuseria. There was a bunch of amigos who came and we had so much fun seeing everyone. Thank you friends, for coming. We miss you guys SOOO much!

Troy boy David & Alex, Brock and a friend of his

Stewarts, Dobles and Annie

Primo, Amanda & Pratt, DiVall and some of their friends...

The Paynes and Munsons...

Also, not pictured... Radfords, Amelia, Miles & Kesley, Trevor & Ally, Winston & Julie! Thanks for joining us guys!! :)


All the kids...

On Saturday we met up with the Elders in Provo, went to lunch and then headed to the park, then they came back to Salt Lake with us and we hung out with the Radfords and Kimmings. We sure miss the Elders and their Aussie ways :)





Lots of diapers around here....


We stayed with the Kimmings over the weekend. And here is Jay, a naked Gwen, and the twins taking a dip in the hot tub...


The boys playing on the Kimmings new toys...

On Monday before the boys flew out, we met up with my cousin Julie and her girls who live in Farmington and had lunch. Thanks for hanging out with us, Julie! It was great seeing you. And thanks for taking Sawyer & Gwen for a few hours, so we could get stuff done :)

We dropped the boys off at the airport and then we headed up to Logan to hang out with the Stewarts all week.


Eating breakfast!

The other kids would come and go... but little Finn seemed to always have a place at the counter. What a cutie!

and Oscar seems to be following in his footsteps ;)

The kids playing at Chik-fil-A...
Here is Finn, Jaidyn & Gwen


The Stewart's have this play structure down in their basement. The kids loved it!




This was so funny... Gwen was trying to climb and Jaidyn was helping her by putting her head under Gwen's bum and pushing. Hilarious!


Annie and Jono came from Bountiful to have lunch with us one day that week


One day we headed up to Bear Lake to visit our Grandma Arnell...



Grandma with just a tiny tiny tiny portion of her great grand-kids...

Sawyer and Gwen... such goofs!!


Gwen with her Great Grandma Arnell


We went to JJ Jumps one afternoon...

Making Gwen pause for a second to take a picture. She wasn't too keen on the idea.

Soy, Bentley & Gwen coming down the slide...
The bottom of this slide was craziness! Kids would fly down one after another and the younger kids who couldn't get out of the way fast enough, got trampled. But look at the smiles on their faces. worth it!


Another park in Logan...



And taking a break with Ronald McDonald in Boise on the way home...


We had a great week with my sister and her family. Thanks for having us, Stewarts! We don't see them often enough!



A few days after we returned home, Jacki & Todd welcomed their little one... Avie Jean. An adorable little thing!




And lastly, just a picture of the two little one's just hanging out...


And that's March, folks!
