Easter Eggs and Bowling Balls?

We had a great Easter this year. We went to Jan's for Easter lunch, watched the second part of conference at her house, then went to my parents and out to our Grandma Hart's for Family Home Evening. It was such a fun day!

Driggs loved his lamb Jan got him!


Bridger and Driggs. They both have eyes to die for. Such cute cousins.

Last week we went to Pizza Factory and Fat Cats with lots of our family. It was such a fun night, hanging out with everyone and playing games!! I am so lucky to have such a great extended family, and love spend time with everyone.


Driggs slept in grandma's arms the whole time!

Too Long!

(My camera battery is pretty much dead, and I need to charge it )
Everyone likes excuses, right?

Driggs: where do I begin. He is amazing. 6 1/2 months, and the best baby. I seriously don't know why I got so lucky. He will go shopping for 5 hours( like yesterday with Grandma, Gabi, Mindi and Megan) sleeps through the night, rarely cries, and loves to play and laugh!
He is still small, but that's okay with me. I get a baby for longer.
lbs: 14.8 8%
inches: 26 50%
He loves peak-a-boo, bath time, dancing, and the outside. He is so special!!


Anytime in the morning he gets to come into our bed, it's like a dream to him. He sleeps like a log in our bed, why is that, and loves to cuddle.

His new high chair. He thinks he is a big boy!!! He loves to throw his toys on the ground. Soon enough I know it will be food for Gus!
We leave on a cruise in three weeks, so about a month ago, he had his first trial weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house and he did so good. Let's hope he is great for Cookie and Grandma Jan.

Jessica and I threw a shower for Megan. She is due in almost five weeks. Can't wait for the little guy. Meg looks adorable! We had such a fun time catching up! It's always good to see friends.



I am now charging my camera, so lets hope I step it up in the picture department.

Birthdays

My birthday was a week ago, last thursday, and it was such a great day!
~Driggs turned 5 months old that day as well
~A year ago exactly is when we told our families that I was pregnant

Driggs loved the candles! It was wonderful, and I am grateful to all of my great family and friends for making is so special!



I love this picture of my Jazz boys! Rob loves the Jazz and I know that it will wear off onto Driggs!

finally

We had a great Christmas. It was so much fun with Driggs, even though he still is so little. We had a great time with family, and it is always our favorite time of year!

We did a fun nativity at my Grandma Hart's house Christmas eve, Driggs got to be Jesus!

For New Year's;Rob, I, Driggs and Jan went to Scottsdale! Driggs took his first airplane ride, and he did so good! We had a blast shopping and hanging out!

Driggs had his 4 month appt at the beginning of January! It's crazy how fast they grow.
Lbs: 12.8 12%
Height:24 1/2 50%
He is smiling and laughing like crazy, and I love being a mom!

Christmas is Near

I love love Christmas time. It's a fun time to get together with family and friends! I love the feeling Christmas brings;focusing on the savior, listening to Christmas music, and spending time together.

Christmas jams.

Got his bumbo early and he loves staring at everything.

Last week, and I had a Chirstmas get together with some girl friends, and then Jarin and Taci threw a party for the friends. We had a great time!!

My visiting teacher gave me a great article about Christmas being a time to celebrate babies, "We focus on Jesus around the holiday, but it's also about the baby;small, helpless and new. That first Christmas night, his hands had not yet healed the sick, raised the weary. His lips had not spoken to multitudes to teach about his father. His shoulders had not yet lifted the cross and his head had not worn thorns. On this night Jesus was a baby, wasn't yet mighty or great, he was sweet, innocent, pure and perfect. Most importantly he was full of the hope and promise of what he would become. That is what is great about this day is we get to remember the hope of perfect and powerless newborn wrapped in swaddling clothes. We all get to feel the hope of a newborn child, wondering what would become through perfect faith, working a little harder to become like that little child. "
This obviously affected me due to Driggs being in our family this year and having a different understanding of what's important.

We can not wait for Christmas Eve and Day to arrive!! We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Week.

Thanksgiving, and St. George

This Thanksgiving, we ate dinner at Jan's house(which was delicious as always)stopped by my Grandma Hart's, and then that night drove down to St. George.

My family, Grandma Ostler and Mindi, Danny and Whit came to St. George.

It was really fun to all hang out together.

Whitney and Driggs getting ready for bed. He always just stares at her. Loves her.

2 Month Pictures: Jenny did such a great job on his pictures. He looks so big and grown up, it makes me sad! He finally could wear his cute outfit Mindi and Megan bought him!
