Big boy!

Had to post these pictures of the baby from the past couple of weeks. He is getting so big and last week he started to roll-over. He can roll from his back to his front and at first would get so mad because he couldn't get his arm out from under him. We can't believe how big he is getting and how big his personality is getting! He has started to squeal and has to have my attention all the time. He is sleeping through the night really well...except for last night of course. We had planned ahead to go to the Temple for an early morning session.  I pumped yesterday and Taylor's grandparents agreed to watch him.  Of course the baby woke up at 2 and stayed awake until 5. Awesome... let's just say I feel like a zombie today. But, it was a beautiful session and a much needed time for both of us to spend together in the Temple. So grateful to have it close and to have family to watch the baby.

My birthday was so fun. Taylor got me donuts and Reeds Dairy chocolate milk for breakfast and he gave me presents. That sweet ladder you see in the picture below...and drum roll please.........tickets to CELINE DION!! Woot woot. I've been telling Tay that I have to see her before I die (sounds a little ridiculous as I type it). So we are going to Las Vegas and I can't wait for a little family vacation in July. Then Taylor headed off to work and I had a lazy morning watching netflix while my Mom and Lizzy drove up from Alpine to spend the afternoon with me. We hung out and went to my favorite cafe in Idaho Falls, Babe's, shopping at Hidden Treasures, an awesome antique store in Shelley. They loved it just as much as I do and we all came home with some fun things. They had to head back to Utah to make it in time for Young Womens (my mom is the YW president and an amazing one at that!). Taylor came home and my MIL, Jill came over to visit and give me a sweet camera remote. So here is an attempt to get a family picture.

Then we went to dinner, and we definitely splurged. I'm all about making dinner, but I was not feeling like making food or doing dishes on my birthday. So we went to the Sandpiper, a fantastic restaurant that overlooks the Snake River in Idaho Falls. Later that night I was playing with my camera remote and captured these gems that I couldn't help but sharing.

See that high chair in the back? That's what I got at the antique store!

Here is a little video of him rolling over.

Mothers Day Weekend

This weekend we began a little project at Taylor's parents. The boys started outside on the deck. They are building a cover for the deck. Here they are...Taylor talking/working?? Ha ha

The girls started in the master bedroom. We painted it a lovely golden-yellow. Here is Paige being a champ at the roller.

It was a great Mothers Day, my first one as an actual mom! Here is my sweet baby boy. He is starting to rollover...scary!

Good times...

This past weekend we went to Alpine to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Alexander. It was such a blast. Friday Grandpa tested out the new horses. He hadn't been on one for 20 years. He looked to good and was such a natural. It was fun to watch him ride Hop. Here is Grams being fat and sassy!

That night Lizzy went to Prom with Brandon Turner, a cute little down syndrome boy in our ward. She looked just like Cinderella- she borrowed Darby's dress. Katie West did her hair and it was awesome. I helped her with her make-up. Mom had to sew her in her dress.

Jess in her chair...ha ha classic

Dad watching all the action.

Grams 

little moo moo

She wore a hoop skirt under her dress and this is what happened when she sat down. So we were trying to help her figure it out!

Here is cute Brandon. He kept saying, "She is going to be the winner at the Capital." He also loved her 'glass slippers' (sparkly Toms). They went to the Olive Garden with his parents and then they dropped them off at the Capital. 

Isn't she gorgeous!!! Love you Lizzy!

Here is Dean and Sam playing around.

Alexander met his Great Grandma and Grandpa Alexander. They had such a fun time playing and talking to him.

Sweet little Lilly. Darby graduated from the U this weekend. Go Darb!!

Mikey bought Dean a turtle for his birthday to put in the pond. They took it out the pond and we haven't seen it since...so these pictures are the only pictures that he actually exists!!
