    Family Love.....

Help me!  haha we love this kid too much!

  This week was an eventful one for Dawson and I.  We went to the zoo on Monday and to Baby Animal Days on Thursday!  It was a lot of fun.  

At the Zoo I only took one pic.....

Those are the elephants, you can't see them good though.  Dawson slept almost the whole time there!  So he only really saw the elephants!  Laura her kids, Barb her kids, my mom and Brody and Piper came too.  It was fun.  My favorite was the new water land.  I liked the huge blind seal.  He just swims in circles all day.

   Baby animal days was even better!  It was up in Logan.  It was fun watching Dawson look and want to feel the bunny.

 He grabbed the bunnies ear and wouldn't let go!  Ops, poor bunny.  Dawson wants a bunny now!  (Not for a while!)

Dawson's face is funny in this pic.  Rachael loved the animals!  She was so cute!  Kaylee loved them too!

  We went on a little train ride and Dawson loved it!  He kept smiling.  He is already full of adventure.

This is what my Mom's house usually looks like!  I love it.  Lots of toys and fun.  Dawson absolutely loves Grandma's house.  He also loves playing with Jensen.  They are funny, they usually just grab at each others faces.  ha!

The other day Jesse was working hard in the yard and Dawson and I were playing on the blanket.  Jesse works so hard and our yard is looking great!  I need to help more  :)

 He loves the grass!  He kept eating it!  Loves it.

  Dawson is also starting to crawl!  He does the army crawl.  So he isn't on his hands and knees yet, but i'm guessing any day!  He is getting big so fast!  He loves sitting in the grocery carts like a big boy now too!  

Loves the swings!

This is what I bed often times looks like.....where do I sleep?!
Anyways....way random post....but loving life and grateful for all I have!
Have a good week!

EASTER!

    This year Easter was wonderful!  Here is our cute little bunny.....

   Jesse did think I was crazy when I dressed him like this.  :)

The Easter bunny came to all of us this year!  We hid our baskets!  Dawson found his fast!  (Daddy helped!)

Jesse found his hiding in the grill!

Mine was in the dryer!  I got a huge chocolate bunny and a gift certificate to get my nails and toes done!  (Thank you sooo much Jesse!)

Dawson looked so handsome for church!

  We went to my Mom's for dinner and all my sisters their families were there.  It was fun!  We even dyed eggs and Jesse did a amazing egg!  It took him forever and it was basically perfect!  I wish I took a pic on my phone of it!  We had a wonderful dinner and just hung out!
   I am soooo very grateful for my Savior and all He does for me every single day.  I'm so grateful for the resurection and this gospel.  I Love Him.
Happy Easter!!!!!

Lori this part is for you......
Look what Jesse did the other day!  He was trying to get Dawson to laugh!  Jesse is always doing such funny things.  He is the cutest and best Dad ever!

   HAHAHAHAH!!!!   I couldn't stop laughing!


This weekend Jennica and Addison moved  :(  we miss them and Brad already!

 She is seriously too cute!!!!

I'm glad that we squeezed in some time together!

Grandma was so cute with them!!!!  It was fun talking with her and watching her hold our babies!
Come back soon Addie, Jen and Brad!

Disneylannd

   Sad day.....my camera broke!  I was in Cali and it just made a weird noise and now is busted.  :(  So....my blogging is going to be less.  We are on the hunt for a new one though!  Hopefully this week!

    My amazing sister and her husband are having a hard time.  Sweet little Trevor had to be admitted into a home.  He had been banging his head against the wall and punching himself.  I love that little kid so much and I am praying for him like crazy.  They are doing tests and trying to get answers to why he is doing this.  They don't know how long he will be there, just taking it one day at a time.  Steve puts it best when he says, "Autism sucks."  Laura is the definition of amazing.  I look up to her so much.  I only wish I could help her more.  I know that the Lord is helping them with all of this.

    A couple of weekends ago my sisters and I got to all go to Disneyland!  It was so much fun!  We left Thurday morning and started the 12 hour drive!  It was actually a fun car ride.  We talked a laughed a lot.

    Barb and Karen laughing...... we laughed a lot.

   When we reached Cali we headed straight for our favorite place to eat, BJ's pizza!  So yummy.  We got deep dish pizza and pazookies.  Then we did a little shopping and walked on the beach.

   The next day we went to Disneyland!  We had a fun filled day there.  The new ride in Cars land was one of my favorites.  It was so cool!  Made me laugh the whole time.
  We got to go to Disneyland two days.  The next day went by so fast!  We really all had a blast.  I love being with all my sisters.
  As you can tell my camera died at this point.  :(  I am going to get the pictures my sister took from when we were at Disneyland.  So i'll have to do another post when I get those.
I missed these two while I was gone

  I missed this little boy so much!

He loves playing in this little crib!  Put a bunch of toys in here and he is good for a while.

One night Jesse put Dawson in the RED VINES box and he loved it.  Jesse is a very creative daddy.

Where did my little baby go?!!?!  He is growing up so fast.  LOVE HIM!

St. George

   Jesse, Dawson and I just got back from St. George and it was sooo much fun!  We loved every second of our first adventure as a family!  We left Thursday around four and got there around nine.  Dawson slept the whole way!  He loves the car.  When we got there we just watched some tv and went to bed pretty quick.  Than when we woke up Jesse, Dawson and I went for a jog.  It was nice to get out in the nicer weather!  The place we stayed in way super nice.  We also stayed with Jesse's friends; Dallas, Lindsey, Peyton, and a few others.  Then Jesse went for a bike ride with his buddy and I hung out with Lindsey and her little girl Peyton.
    That night we went to Fiesta Fun and went go karting.  It was a blast.

   We ate at Texas Road house after...yum.

   Then on Saturday Jesse went for a ride again and I got go for a jog and hang out at the pool with my favorite little guy.

    The water was a little too cold for him to get in all the way.  So we splashed our feet around.  Love those little legs!

  One thing that was not fun was that our little guy kept getting fevers.  :(  He slept a lot and was in his diaper a lot at night to cool him off.  Poor little guy.

  One of the days it was warm enough to have Dawson get in the pool and it was so much fun!

   He is such a stud!

Daddy and Dawson!  Dawson loves the pool and doesn't even mind the water in his face.

Jesse, Dawson, Dallas, and Peyton hanging out in the cave

Daddy is cool.  Strong too.

We drove around to see the track that Jesse is going to do his half iron man on.  It was really pretty.

We had too much fun and I'm sad to come back to cold UT......until next time St. George!

LOVE

     My birthday was a blast.  Dawson and I woke up and headed to work.  I hung out with Piper and Dawson all day.  She had an ear infection, so we had to go to the doctor, but we still managed to have fun.  We watched Mickey Mouse about three times and read books.  When I got home from work Jesse gave me a gift.  A jogging stroller!  I am so excited about it.  I have wanted one of these for a while and now i'll be able to go running with Dawson!  He is going to basically live in it!  ha!  Now I am really really excited for warmer weather!  Jesse also got me red roses.  They are so pretty!  I love them!  Then we dropped Dawson off at my mom's and we went and ate at Christophers steak house.  It was really yummy!  Than we picked up Dawson and Jesse let me pick out a cupcake at the sweet toothfairy.  Yum.  We came home; put Dawson to bed, watched a movie and snuggled.  Wow I was very spoiled!  I loved my day!  Thanks Jesse.

 Jesse took him for a run one night and this is what he looked like when he left......

 And this is him when he got back.  So sleepy.  He already loves the stroller.

   Valentine's Day.  This day was perfect.  Jesse woke up and said Happy Valentine's day!  He is so cute.  I gave him a frame with Dawson in it.  (My sister gave me these cute LOVE letters for my b day, which were perfect for picture time!)

  I had too much fun playing photo shoot with him.  They turned out so cute though! I gave him a book for Valentine's Day and he sucked all over it.  I love you Dawson!

Than Katie came over and we made our hubbys yummy chocolate covered strawberries.  I made my sisters and my mom cookies and went over to my moms and hung out for a bit.  I love my mama.  Than when Jesse got off of work we mad a super yummy dinner.  It was a pasta dish with olives, shrimp, tomatoes, artichokes, etc.  Way good.  It was fun cooking together.

  Than we took Dawson swimming for his very first time!  He loved it!  He didn't cry once and was such a trooper since it was a little cold.  

    He is going to become a little fishy!

Have a good week!  :)
