Spring Break

For Spring Break this year we got to take a trip to St. George. We had a great time and the boys LOVED every second of it! Here are a few pictures from the trip.

The boys had so much fun with Lilly. She is the funniest spunkiest little thing!

The Flittons made a special trip down to St. George to visit us. We LOVED being able to see and hang out with them. Good times! The boys loved being back together!

And Hayden and Basin finally got to meet. BFs at first site!!

We are so glad we got to see Preston's Family and also meet sweet little Janie for the first time. She is such a sweet little thing.

This one lost his first tooth March 3, 2012. He was so excited!And this one's first tooth broke through March 8th, 2012

and now he has 3 teeth! two on the bottom, one on the top!

oh how I love that toothy grin!

Back in February we told Tanner that since he was now 4 it was time to take the training wheels off his bike. He was a little nervous, but agreed! After a few practice runs, he was riding a bike like a pro! He was so proud of himself. It is so much fun to see your kids accomplish things they don't think they can do!

The looks say it all...

so excited

totally determined

yep, I'm doing it!

Stitches

The first day we were in Utah Tanner fell off the teeter totter at my parents house and split his lip open. Luckily Drew was able to stitch him up and we didn't have to spent hours and money at the ER. Tanner was so brave and held really still while Drew sewed him up. He had that really scared look on his face, but felt at ease with his dad taking care of him! His lip healed up great and you can't even tell now, except that his front tooth is now dead and a lovely shade of brown!

Makenzie and Jared's Wedding

We had so much fun in Utah and were so happy we could be there for Makenzie and Jared's wedding. It was a beautiful day and the weather couldn't have been better. It does feel weird that my little sister (who was 11 when we were married) is now married. I am getting old!
Here are a few pictures from the whole day from the temple in the morning to the reception in the evening.

My sister and her cute family... Bowen Ashlee Brian and HallieAll my handsome boys!

So fun to see these cute girls!

Don't worry about Tanners lip, it's not cupcake crumbs, he had to get stitches the day before the wedding! More on that later!

It was beautiful!My cousin Stephanie did the cake. I LOVED how it turned out! It just makes you want to smile.

My mom and Jared's mom did all the flower arrangements. They were gorgeous!

They had candy and bags you could fill up and take home with you.
