Best Buddies

These two are inseparable.

I feel so lucky to have a son who I know looks up to his dad.

I feel blessed to know that my husband is someone worth looking up too.

Hello Spring!!

Spring is finally here! Ryan, Weston, and I are beyond thrilled for the wonderful 70 degree weather and this past weekend we have spent every moment we can outside. Weston loves it so much and every time we have to come back in he has a breakdown like no other. I swear if he had his crib on the porch he would be more than thrilled to sleep outside. Here are some pictures of our weekend.

Proof that Weston can smile for the camera when he wants to. I seriously cannot wait till he understands to pose for the camera with a big smile:)!

Being studious and reading his books in the buff.
Having way to much fun in the sprinkler.


And more fun....

Knocking on gramma and grampa's door wondering where they are.

Loving his new swing that grampa built him.

Throwing rocks in the river and attempting to walk into the river. Too bad I wasn't as adventureous as my child.

Having fun with dad!

3 years and going strong

For 3 years....

this has been my source of true, eternal joy. I love you sweetheart!

Forever

This is what life is all about.

( I promise you Weston smiles...just not for the camera)

Easter!!

This Easter we had so much fun with our family down in Rexburg. Weston loved playing with Grant, Noah, and Ben and seeing him have fun was so much fun for Ryan and I. I loved being back in Rexburg for a few days and enjoyed my yearly fix of Bajio pineapple shrimp salad...oh how I love it!

Weston loved his Easter basket in the morning. Between the bubbles, toys, clothes, crayons, and fruit snacks it is safe to say he was spoiled. Thanks a ton Dawn!
The boys got guinea pigs for Easter and Weston loved them. He also was obsessed with their dog, which is causing Ryan and I the debate of when to get him a puppy.

The freedom of dying eggs without me going crazy of the mess he is making!

Wondering why I am trying to get his attentions and disrupting his egg dying session.

Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Last night I needed a little treat to relax from tending a very sick, cranky little boy. He has strep throat and I have never seen him so miserable:(. I needed a break so Ryan took over and I made this super yummy desert. I didn't have all the fruit they asked for so I just used what I had and it was so good!

Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

2 apples

2 kiwis, peeled and diced
peaches
pinepple

2 bananas

strawberries
2 tablespoons white sugar
lime or lemon juice

10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
butter flavored cooking spray
2 cups cinnamon sugar

4. Bake in the preheated oven 10to 13 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool approximately 15 minutes. Serve with chilled fruit mixture.

Reading Drawer

Weston has a new favorite place to read his books. It also appears that he likes to multitask. Read 3 books while watching Baby Einstein up close and personal in a drawer...who would have thought!
