Cute pictures of Warner...

Warner and I were just hanging out in the backyard the other day. He looked so cute I had to take some pictures of him. Petri is still really jealous of him but she was letting him play with her a little bit. Warner is getting a lot more teeth on the top. You can see some of them in these pictures. It's funny because his two front teeth weren't coming in at the same time so his grin looks a little crooked, it's so funny.

So Warner has been walking so much. He took his first steps almost a month ago. He was only 9 months and 3 weeks, and now he is running all over the place. He still falls a lot but he can get up on his own and start walking again. I think the most steps he's taken in a row is like 15. I didn't think he would walk this soon, but he did. I feel like he just starting crawling. He is growing up so fast! Ü

Warner loves to swing!

The BEST news EVER...

the awesome news....

we are getting FOUR new babies this Christmas!!! I know what your thinking, four babies how is that possible. Let me tell you.

JAMIE AND DAVE ARE HAVING TWINS

AND KARI AND RANDY ARE HAVING TWINS!!!

Is that totally crazy?

Well if you don't think so here is another, they are due 6 days apart!! I can't believe it myself. If you can't tell I am sooo stoked! They are about 12 weeks along, and are due around the second week of December but their doctors tell them they will have the twins in November! This is going to be the best Thanksgiving and Christmas ever! I am so excited for Warner to have some more cousin's and friends to play with. Ü

Memorial Weekend...

We went camping over memorial weekend up to Christmas Meadows. This is one of our favorite spots to go with our friends. The weather was good, it only rained once. We celebrated Shawn and Cory's 34th birthday's with some yummy deserts that Kara and I made in the dutch oven. I sure missed hanging out by the fire all winter long. It was a fun and relaxing vacation!

Warner loved his bennie that his Granny made him.

Our neighbor Lanny gave Shawn this portable Fuse Ball game for his b-day. All the boys loved it, of course!

This was just a cute picture I had of Warner up at Jamie and Dave's pool. He had so much fun splashing in the water, he would cry every time you would take him out.

2009 Ogden Marathon, Get Out And Live!

I did my first race ever last Saturday! It was my New Years Resolution to do a race this year and I did it. I was never a long distance runner and I wanted to start small and then work my way up so I completed my first 5k! It was so much fun. We started at 7:00 at the Timbermine Restaurant and ran down the Ogden River Parkway onto Grant and then down to 25Th st. It was sooo cold at the mouth of the canyon, but once you started running you warmed up pretty fast. My brother-in-law was nice enough to run it with me. I'm sure he had a hard time staying with me and not taking off since he runs a lot faster than me, but he pushed me to run faster so that was great! I saw a lot of people that I knew running too so that made it even funner! We had a big group of people cheering us on, I wish I would have been able to get a picture of all of them on the side lines! My brother Bryan and sister-in-law Teri ran the half Marathon and did awesome! I for sure want to do another race soon, it is such a high. It didn't matter that it was only a 5k it was still a rush to run over the finish line! I can't wait to do another! Ü

Mother's Day...

Shawn and Warner both got me the cutest cards and flower's for Mother's Day!

They also got me this beautiful fountain for my yard. I love it!

We went over to my in-laws for lunch to celebrate Mother's day with them. My family was down in St. George for the weekend. My brother and his wife and also my brother in-law all did the Triathlon. I heard they all did great. I can't wait till they get home so I can here how it all went. Shawn had to work so we couldn't go down. We are going to celebrate with my mom next weekend!

Grandma and Warner playing outside.

We love this time of year because we can get outside and play Croquet! It was a lot of fun! Yes of course I was the WINNER!!! Ü


CHAD GRADUATED FROM U OF U!
On Friday we went to my brother in-law's graduation! It was really neat. I am so proud of Chad and all of his accomplishments! He is such a great brother! He just bought his first house and we are moving him in next week! He is so excited! Ü The funny thing at the graduation was that Big Buddha from Fox 13 graduated with Chad. Their family sat right behind us. They were pretty funny yelling and screaming his name and throwing confetti all over everyone when they announced him.

I took my nieces and nephew to a little park by my house the other morning. The little ones were so darling they fell asleep right away in the stroller. It was a lot of fun.

Ashley and Warner asleep in the stroller. It was cute how Warner fell asleep with his arm draped over Ashley's shoulder.

9 Months and counting...

We took these pictures yesterday when we went on a bike ride with my parents. It was so nice. Warner may not look happy but he really enjoyed it. He was grunting and making noises the whole time. I love this bike trailer it is so nice! I took Warner in today for his 9 month check up, he did so good! Everyone kept telling me how cute he is. He is now 19 lbs 9 oz (34% tile) and 28.6 inches long (65% tile). Which is funny because everyone always tells me he is chunky, go figure. I never think he is big. I can't believe that in 3 more months he will be a year, CrAzY! He is crawling all over the place and he loves to stand and walk around the furniture. He is the funnest kid!

EaStEr WeEkEnD...

We went down to St. George for Easter weekend and for mine and Jamie's birthday. It was a lot of fun. The first day we were there we went to Wal-Mart to get some food and we were all excited to see some Polygamists. We are totally fascinated by them so we were pretty stoked because they go there a lot. And what do you know there were lots of them. It was pretty funny. Back at the trailer we colored Easter eggs and went for a hike. That night Warner was up every hour crying because of his ear infections. Poor little kid, so when we woke up to see if the Easter bunny came we were all a little groggy from being up all night. Of course Warner didn't really know what's going on quite yet, but he did like the toys he got. We also had a little Easter egg hunt at the park. The kids really had fun. The next day we went for a bike ride and 4-wheeling. It is really cool to wheel around those awesome canyons. It's so pretty. All the kids piled into Kara's Rhino. They all looked so cute in their wheeling gear. Of course they all fell a sleep pretty fast into the ride. That night we went over to Cory and Kara's and sat in the hot tub. Warner and Tana were having so much fun! Kids sure love the water! We did this same trip last year too so it would be fun if we did this every year! I love going down to St. George! Ü
