New Post

So, I've been a major slacker when it comes to blogging lately. I just don't feel like we've done a whole lot. Here is what has been happening though:

1. We've been working on more of the small house projects around the house. We may finally get a closet door up in Danny's room soon.

2. My sister Alisha is staying with us for a few days until she flies out to Germany to be reunited with her hubby, Sai.

3. We rearranged our living room, which is great because I hated it before. It was driving me nuts. We still have some small things to buy to spruce up the decor though.

4. Danny is growing like a weed. He has enjoyed the nice weather lately (until the rainstorm today). He loves to sit outside in the grass (well, on a blanket in the grass) and play while I read. He also is a pro scooter. He is very fast and can prop himself on his knees, but once he's there he doesn't know what to do. I don't think it will take him long to figure it out.

5. We have come to the decision that we will never buy Danny another toy. Why? Because when he is on the floor surrounded by his fun, bright, colorful toys, what does he crawl to? The electrical cords, the phones, the remote controls, or the computer. Good thing we don't invest in expensive toys!

Well, that really and truly is about it. We'll try to get some fun pictures soon, and yes, I realize I haven't put up videos from Bear Lake. I'll work on that too.

Bear Lake & Easter

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I was out of town all of last week. Kenneth's parents have a time share in Bear Lake (Garden City, UT) and we went up for a break. Kenneth was able to stay only Friday-Sunday, while Danny & I stayed from Friday-Friday.

Over the initial weekend we had the privilege to listen to the leaders of our church during General Conference. The messages which were shared were truly inspiring. There was a lot of focus on the family which was wonderful since I need all the help I can get!! I cannot wait for the Ensign (church magazine) to come out next month which will feature all of the talks. I am excited to re-read the messages and to apply the teachings into my life.


I realized this was the first photo of Kenneth holding Danny while asleep. Darling!





The rest of the week at Bear Lake went well. I missed Kenneth a ton, and it was difficult because Danny was not feeling well/teething. He woke up quite often at night, and I couldn't just let him cry himself to sleep like he does at home. Not when there are people sleeping above and below us! He has been much better since coming home.






Danny kept giving the most adorable sour face!

It was hilarious at Bear Lake because there were blizzards every day (which always seemed to melt by the end of the day) except Thursday. The sun finally came out so I decided to take Danny swimming for the first time!! He was absolutely adorable and LOVED the pool! He was splashing away like crazy! It was so fun!







Since coming home, I've just been getting things organized at home. Yesterday (Sunday) we had dinner at Kenneth's parent's home with his siblings and had a little Easter egg hunt (since we didn't do anything at Bear Lake). Danny wasn't all that interested in the hunt, except for sucking on the occasional egg. ;)







We also took Danny on the trampoline for the first time this past Sunday. He loved it!







Danny has also improved quite a bit on his crawling! I can't remember how to load the video in the higher quality, so I'll do that tomorrow so you can see. Thanks!

April Fools Day

My brother Michael and his wife Kim had their baby today! April Fools? No! It took me all day to figure out whether or not the labor and birth were real. Finally it was confirmed when I got a picture this evening. So...CONGRATS! I know Danny will be very happy to have a buddy to play with it!

Did any of you have April Fool's pranks played on you?

Did any of you play a prank on someone else?

Let the stories start rolling!
