Way to go!

Our school had a reading assembly today and Emma got a medal for being the top reader in her class. Her cute friend, Taylor, got the medal for the most improved reader. (In case you're wondering, they are covered in white stuff because they were in the back yard mixing up a concoction of cornstarch and water as part of some sort of science experiment.)

Going on an adventure


Brigham and Rachel got all packed up this morning and said "We're going on an adventure to Hawaii." Hawaii sounds good to me on a rainy day like today!

Happy 3rd Birthday Brigham!

Brigham had his birthday on Saturday. He got to have his daddy home for his birthday which was the best present of all. Unfortunately, he was not feeling great this weekend so I didn't get a whole lot of happy looking pictures of him, but we celebrated the best we could under the circumstances. We went to Hyrum and had a little party at Uncle Josh's house. It was nice to see Ben's family and spend some time with them before we're off to AZ.Brigham and Rachel spotted this motocross cake in a recent Family Fun magazine. As soon as they saw it, they came running in to the kitchen and said "Mom! You HAVE to make this cake for Brigham's birthday!" So Brigham has been carrying the picture of this cake around for the last month and telling everyone that it was "his birthday cake". The page actually got torn out of the magazine so that he was just carrying that around and one night it got ripped and Brigham started crying, saying "Eliza ripped my birthday cake!" So basically, there was no getting around making the motorcycle cake...
This cape I saw on the internet was just too cute so even though Brig has no idea who Superman and Batman are I just had to make it for him. He also got some little Imaginex superhero figurines. He calls the Superman "super-guy".

Fancy Feet

My wonderful sister Jenny took me and two of my sisters-in law to get pedicures on Saturday to celebrate my birthday. I have to say I love having girl time. It was so much fun to hang out with Jenny, Colleen and Nikki and we all agreed that we need to do it more often!

Hazel Jane: 9 months old

Hazel turned nine months old on April 28. She weighed 19 pounds and was 28 inches long at her 9 month check-up. She is so sweet and learning new things everyday. She still doesn't crawl, but manages to get things by stretching or changing positions. She doesn't have any teeth yet which makes me happy because I want her to stay a baby for as long as possible and teeth seem to make a baby look so much older. She has been eating lots of new foods like crackers, cereal, peaches, avacado, mango, carrots, peas and her favorite, bananas. She recently started clapping so I took a video of Brigham and Rachel trying to get her to clap for the camera. Mostly, it's them clapping, but she joined in a little. She was too busy watching them and wondering what on earth they were clapping for.
