Valentine Party

I was realizing that I never post pictures of Emily at preschool events. I don't think about it because I'm always there and most of my pics have all the kids in them. At the valentines party I made sure to get some pictures of just my Emily.
She was so excited about her first Valentines Party. She filled out all the valentines herself (weeks in advance) and was pumped to finally get to wear her red heart dress to school. She loves preschool and just lives for all these little events. It's been so fun!

Cougar Basketball

Just a glimpse into one of John's very favorite activities...BYU Basketball. He actually enjoys going to basketball games even more than football, and I enjoy the ticket price a lot more. This was on dollar day, so we took the whole family and met up with my sister Kandace and her family for the game.

He's ONE!

I don't know where the year went. Our buddy (aka Carter) is officially one and running all over the place. Here are some pictures from his 1st birthday bash. I have to say that I love 1st birthday parties. It is so fun to see the babies reaction to the presents, the cake, and all that attention. Carter did not dissapoint. He loved all the attention, reacted to his gifts by clapping his hands and throwing his arms up in delight (seriously--he cracks us up), and and was shocked that we really let him have a whole cake and kept waiting for us to snatch it away from him. After a few bites of it, he looked up at us and said "good" (sounded just like it). Grandma Durrant came down to the party, which was the highlight for Carter. He was delighted to have someone new to win over and show off for. He spent the night tossing balloons and playing puzzles with Grandma. It was a good time and we sure love our little buddy boy.

Carter had lots of help opening presents from a very excited sister.

He loved this puzzle from Grandma that makes noises and sings. He goes crazy clapping every time the song starts. He can't get enough of it...even weeks later!

100's Day

Kelsie with her 100's day poster she made with her dad.

Her teacher sent home some "100's day" writing prompts which I thought were pretty fun. Here are her answers...

I wish I had a 100 dogs. I woudn't want 100 cats. I can make 100 treats. I can eat 100 bananas. I could never eat 100 treats. Having 100 cats would be a problem. In 100 years I hope that I can sew. I can lift 100 bag's.
