A rare moment

Andrew's little friend

Andrew loves Britton. He calls him beebee, long for baby! This morning I was feeding Britton and Andrew took his hat off of his head and put it on the baby. He then put on daddy's hat that is the same as his. I had to get a picture of them together because it was so cute. Andrew loves to hold him even if it is for just a second. He loves to give him kisses and to pat his head. He has decided his job is to help burp the baby and I let him do so with a reminder that he has to be soft.

2 weeks old!

The time seems to fly by without noticing and without any sleep! I can't believe Britton is 2 weeks old already. We had his appointment with the pediatrician who called him "STUDLY". He weighed in at 8 pounds 6 ounces and he looks great. We sure think he is a stud...and really adorable at the same time. He is a great baby. He eats, has manly burps when we can get them out, and sleeps...Oh what a good boy!

the best bibs

I was having a hard time keeping Andrew's clothes clean when he eats with the bibs that you can buy in stores. My mother-in-law had a bib she used that was a hand towel that would velcro onto cupboards or the fridge so I decided to make some of my own...here are the results...I love them! As long as I can keep them on my silly boy they do a great job!

My little gardener

We finally decided to work a little on a garden in the back yard. Andrew was right in the middle of helping with the work. He loves to be "outs". I love that he wants to be right with us all of the time and loves to be active and outdoors.

Easter Fun

The Easter Bunny brought Andrew a fun basket this year! He got eggs with candy in them, a Berentstein Bears DVD, bubbles, and his own little drill. He loved it all, but especially the drill!

I worked the night shift leading into Easter Sunday, but I still wanted to go to church to be reminded of the real reason for the Easter Holiday. We had a wonderful musical sacrament meeting and it was nice to be at church despite the lack of sleep. After church we went over to granny and grandpas house for other fun activities including the egg toss from the roof and tossing Andrew in the towel.

Coloring Easter Eggs

We had a fun time coloring Easter Eggs this year. Andrew wanted to throw them all down and crack them before we dyed them, but we managed to save a few to color. He didn't like that he dyed his hands and wanted them clean as soon as we were done. Aunt Tawny was staying the night with us so she got to share in the fun!

parking citation?

On April Fool's Day, I got a call from Isaac saying the Accord had died in a park while he was studying for his accounting class. He had called his brother to come and jump it and it hadn't worked. He came home and after a few hours he went back to the park to try to tow it home with his dad. They came back to the house saying that the car wouldn't even come out of park and that we had received a parking citation...needless to say...I wasn't very happy. Isaac started reading it out loud and I didn't understand why he wasn't upset til I finally clued in that it wasn't a real citation..

When he read the part about Fleas of a thousand camels infesting your armpits is when I clued in that it wasn't real. Well, we drove the Odyssey over to jump the car and it started right up....thank goodness...I guess it was an April Fool's Day joke that ended up working out okay.

Happy April Fool's Day!

We had fun making these great treats for April Fool's. I saw them on Studio 5 on KSL this morning and thought they would be fun to make. Here is the final outcome...spaghetti and meatballs cupcakes!
