Easter Sunday

Like every other blog post this is long overdo but on Easter Sunday we drove up after conference to visit the family, we got the chance to see my little sis Whitney for the first time since her snowmobiling accident in Island Park. She was life flighted to EIRMC in Idaho Falls. She broke her left wrist, broke her left femur, tore her left ACL, broke her left ankle, sprained her right ankle and wrist, and lacerated her spleen. She was in the hospital for a week, and has been bed-bound and out of school for two months and just went back for the last part! We are so glad she is safe! Love you Whit! I didn't get many pics so this is all about her...

The grandkids have sure enjoyed her injury..here's Easton with his cousins on Whitney's wheelchair. I think he asked for a ride a couple times a day when we were there.

The injured woman doing her homework.

Cute little video of Easton on Easter morning playing with his bubble machine from the easter bunny...this kid LOVES bubbles!

ZOO time!

Easton is definitely a lover of all animals (yes, my child I know) so we decided it would be wise to invest in a zoo membership. A couple saturdays ago they sent me home from work because I wasn't needed, so I decided we needed to go have a fun family day outing! We then followed it up with lunch at our fav place..Rodizio Grill. Wonderful day with my favorite guys in the whole world!

I have the biggest pansy for a child. he's scared of the carousel even though I was standing there holding him the whole time!

pointing out the iguanas to me..

I love my boys!!

Salt Lake City 5k/Huntsman Heroes

In April we had the opportunity to raise some money for the Hunstman Heroes Foundation for cancer research, something pretty close to our hearts since my mom was diagnosed. Originally, I had wanted to run the half marathon..but once I became preggers I decided I better stick with the 5k. I am so grateful for all those who donated to the cause and all the family who participated! Grateful for my amazing husband who slowly walked it with me even though I know he was dying to run it! I had four amazing aunts, three of which traveled from California to run the race. Our team earned a grand total of close to $2500! YAY! (can't quite remember the grand total) Thanks to the in-laws too for taking Easton for us! We hope to make this a yearly tradition...and I hope to never have to do it pregnant again. I did a 5k in 1 hour, my little brother did 13 miles in only an hour an a half after me! I was a little slow. However, he told me I can cut my time in half since I was carrying another person...

Here we all are at Olive Garden the night before...

Big news...

After months of trying with no success and realizing we would have to again go the fertility drug route I am happy to announce we are expecting baby #2!! And it only took 2 rounds, YAY! I am due late August, luckily only having one. I am 17 1/2 weeks along and we just found out this last Tuesday we are having another baby boy! I'll definitely be outnumbered! I am so excited for Easton to have a little brother, I think they will be the best of friends (well, atleast when they are older). Many people ask if Easton is excited...I think he is trying to block it out. When we ask he either ignores us or just says 'no'. Six months ago he was obsessed with babies and would ask for a 'brudder or sister', now he is out of that phase and apparently wants to be on his own. When the doctor told him he was having a baby brother in his cranky voice he yelled back 'no', she then said it would be fun to which he again repeated 'no'. I think he will come around once he gets here (crossing my fingers anyways) We can't wait for baby boy #2!

Blast from the past....

With my old computer it was such a pain to post videos, it always gave me errors, it was just a nightmare overall. But, for Christmas we got a new computer! So now I can share videos alot easier! Here are a few hilarious videos from Easton last year.....

This video is from last year during the NBA finals or March Madness (can't quite remember). Easton gets quite crazy while watching games, I can't imagine if this is him at 18 months what he'll be like when he gets older...I don't know where he gets it from :-)

This video is from last summer at Aberdeen Daze. Every year at Aberdeen Daze they hire some old band (or guy in this case) to come perform during the free breakfast. I was off talking to a friend while my mom was taking Easton around to some different toys in the park. She said on the way back he let go of her hand, got on stage and started dancing. She came and grabbed me instantly to start videoing. Let's just say provided entertainment for a while. The voices you'll hear in the video are mine and the old ladies next to me who got a kick out of it. Enjoy :-)

When one returns, one leaves...

So a little over three weeks ago this guy left to Tempe, Arizona on his mission. Easton and I got to travel to Provo to drop him off at the MTC, before that Shannon met us for lunch at Panda Express..Garrett's favorite place ever to eat. We already miss Garrett so much. When we go back to my parents house easton said 'we're gonna see nana, papi, whit-wee, and garwhet' I think he's still a little confused as to why he's not there? The hardest part was watching him say goodbye to my Mom, fear of the unknown with what will happen with her. He's already doing so great and we are so proud of him! Love you Garrett!

But before Garrett left...we got Tanner back! Tanner is such a stud and we are so happy to have him back! He came back so mature and nice, not that he wasn't before but the mission just does something to these boys! The other night when I got home from a long day of doing hair he brought me a brownie sundae with chocolate and caramel spread on it and grated up almond rocha on top! He will make some woman very happy one day! He's still a little gangsta from being in Detroit...
with my parents at the airport!

So glad you are back Tan!

I'm pretty sure I have the coolest little brothers...
