I took pictures but haven't posted about the last two weekends, so I'm going to catch up now because I know this weekend will bring more exciting pictures! (Sidenote: My cell phone kept ringing tonight and I couldn't answer it because I was bathing Desi, but I was hoping it was someone calling to tell me Erin had gone into labor and was at the hospital. No such luck!) The Saturday before last, we went to Cabela's to look at the animals with Tom's Dad, my Dad, Sam and my brother Chris. Sam loved the fish and found a stuffed turtle that he pushed around on the floor like a truck. It was cute when he realized he could make the stuffed bunny's mouth move. He then had fun hiding from Uncle Tom in camo gear, learning how to shoot and just relaxing. I think the funniest part was when I sat down in a rocking chair and he wanted a chair that rocked too. He sat in one, stood up, picked up a magazine from the rack and sat back down and flipped through it like he could read it. He's so funny! We even made it out of there without spending any money!!
Then this last Saturday, we went with Grandpa, Kendall, Erin and Sam to the Living Aquarium in Sandy. It was really neat and I even learned quite a few things. That night we went out to eat at a delicious Chinese restaurant with Wendy, Russ, Erin and Kendall. After dinner, we went to Wendy's house and played games. I finally won at Mormon Bridge! On Sunday afternoon, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Newton's house and had dinner. We had fun playing on their Wii. I'm not very good, but I'm proud to say I kicked Tom's butt in boxing which neither of us had ever tried. Not bad for someone who doesn't watch UFC. We are so glad to live close to family that we can spend time with!
We're ready for spring! I forgot I had these shorts and she now kinda fits in some of her shoes.
My sweet baby girl is now five months old!
I realized I hadn't taken any pictures of her on Easter so I grabbed some eggs for her to play with but she had a hard time hanging on to them. (when she wasn't trying to eat them)
Thanks Aunt Tina for the cute stuffed frog.
I've been sucked in! I watched the movie with Tom last night and now I can't wait for the other ones to come out! When Tom talked about the books while he was reading them, I thought they sounded stupid, but now I want to pick up the fourth book and just read the ending to find out what happens. Or does anyone want to just tell me if Bella ever ends up a vampire and stays with Edward?
I don't know about any of you, but I really enjoyed conference! I tried to prepare myself more this time and I can't believe how many of the talks, I felt were directed to me. My prayers were answered and I'm so thankful to have a living Prophet and other church leaders who are inspired by God! I even went online last night and listened to a talk that I missed. How grateful I am to have the internet! Well, I better get crackin' because as I listened this weekend, I realized how many things I need to work on!
Whenever I pull out the camera, she stops smiling.
She is now 25 inches long and in the 75th percentile for length!
I went from this...
To this...
My sister and I cut our hair together to donate to Locks of Love.
Desi went on her first four-wheeling ride.
My niece, Maggie, was finally born on St. Patrick's Day.
And Tom's brother-in-law got a hole in his thigh from his dirt bike. If you want to see all the pictures and disgusting video footage, you can link here.
