COLTEN'S BLESSING

We blessed Colten this past Sunday. Jay gave him such a nice blessing. It was such a fun day. Both of our parents were here and Jeniffer and Josh flew in. There were also a few of our friends there. Colten looked so cute in his little tux. Harvey gave his first talk in primary on Noah's Ark. The whole family went into primary to watch him. He did so good, it was really cute I wish I could have been able to video it. We had dinner at our house after and had a great day with everyone. Thank you everyone who was able to come.

We had such a fun week. Jen and Josh came for the blessing and stayed the week. It was fun to have someone to go to the park and zoo with and to be able to have a conversation with an adult instead of just a 3 year old all day not to mention the much needed breaks from Harvey every once in a while. Thank you Jen and Josh for the coming to see us we had so much fun!

FEELS LIKE SUMMER

These past few days have really been feeling like summer is here. It has been so warm. Time to get the shorts out and have some fun out side. We went to the park yesterday and had a lot of fun. Harvey is getting to where he can climb on and up about anything. He finally was able to climb this spider web rope he has been trying for a while. It seems like he is growing up so fast. I have to comment on the picture at the heading of the blog. I was going through some pictures and came upon this one of Harvey helping plant the garden a few years ago it is one of my favorite so since it is almost time to plant a garden I thought it would be fun to share it with you.

TWO MONTHS

Colten is 2 months old it seems like it is already going by so fast. He is so sweet and he has definitely found his voice. He smiles and talks a lot it is so fun!

LITTLE BOYS

These are just some recent pictures of the boys. I realize that my world revolves around the boys in my life especially these two and I love all the joy that they are to me!

SPRING

I am so excited for spring to be here. There are so many things I love about spring. The flowers and blossoms, all the green coming out and of course the beautiful weather. It just gives me such a great feeling. It has been really nice for the most part, except for those few days of horrible wind but I guess living where we do it is expected. We have had a fun few weeks enjoying spring break and celebrating Easter with our families.

We had a fun Easter Picnic out at the sand wash with my family, cousins and grandparents

Harvey had a great time hunting eggs and playing with his cousins.

Today Colten is 2 weeks old it seems like time is already going by so quickly. It has been an eventful few weeks we have had lots of visitors. Jen and my mom and dad were here the day he was born, then Casey and Mckelle came for the weekend, then Holly flew out this past weekend. Both my mom and Jay's mom tag teamed Harvey in St. Johns for the week and Jay and I enjoyed the quite and the time to spend with the baby while I recovered a little bit. Yesterday Jay's mom and Kristen came and brought Harvey back. We really appreciate all the help from our great families! It has been so much fun to see everyone. It has been so fun to see Harvey interact with Colten. He is so great with him and just can't get enough of him. He just keeps saying," he is so cute ,I love him" and he can't get over how little everything is. The other day Colten was in the swing and started crying and I can here Harvey from the other room yelling its ok baby pan and next thing I know here he comes down the hall with undies and pants at his ankles with a rubber duck in his hand and sets it in the swing with Colten and tells him everything will be alright then heads back to the bathroom to finish his business. It was so funny. We are just so happy to have this sweet little baby in our home. We just can't get enough of him.
