Linnea's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby girl is already one. Time sure does fly by. Linnea is such a joy to have in our family. She has the cutest personality. She has everyone wrapped around her little finger. She gets whatever she want. I don't think I have had a happier baby. It is so fun to watch her grow up. I am very grateful to have her. I think Heavenly Father new that I needed to have her keep me company at night, since Jeff has had to work out of town.

My mom helped me make this cake for Linnea. She did most of the work. I think it turned out adorable. Linnea liked to look at it.

I want to grab it.

So Happy!

Not quite sure what to with the candle. But I like to stare at it.

Do I really have to get dirty? I think I will just poke it.

Once she got a taste of the cupcake, she was all for it.

What I mess I have made.

Jeff wanted a kiss, she was hiding.

Grandpa Steve helping Linnea(or Rosey, what Grandpa calls her) to open his gift to her. I love how she is looking up at him.

Having fun playing with this cow toy that makes animal noises. The next day she carried it around everywhere. It was so cute.

What a cutie!

Daddy's little girl.

Very sassy when she wants to be.

The kids love to play tick talk like a clock.

I love this picture of Linnea. So precious. Very pretty smile.

Attacking Grandpa.

Mr. Cool!

Bat!

This lovely little creature decided to take a nap outside our front door. It was sleeping until Jeff took its picture. The kids were kind of scared of it, but at the same time they kept wanting to look at it.

Labor Day - Kolob

For Labor Day we decided to go to Kolob with my side of the family. The kids love it there. They love being outdoors. They like to fish with Grandpa and play with there cousins. They had a lot of fun and did not want to come home. I don't blame them. It is more fun outside then stuck at home.




Grandma DeWitt and Dandin

Dandin and Brooklinn playing so cute together.
She was determined to get him buckled up.

Ry loved playing with this bat.

Linnea is now walking about half the time. My first baby to walk before a year old.

Starting School

Tasia in Mrs. Bennett's Class First Grade. She was so excited.

Ryland's First Day of preschool. So handsome.

Linnea loves her bottle now that I have weened her. She is getting so big.

Misc. Pics

The last few nights Dandin and Ryland have fallen asleep together. It is cute to see them spend time together reading books and being pals.

Linnea is getting so big. She is rolling around everywhere. Got to love the chubbs.

Linnea's first time eating baby rice cereal. She liked it and is already a pro.

Fun In Phoenix

While we were in Phoenix we went swimming
at Joe and Ashley's club house. The kids loved it.

Linnea all cozy after getting out of the swimming pool.
It was her first time. She loved it.

Beautiful Tasia!

Dandin loves Daddy to put him up in the air.
It is his favorite thing in water and out.

Our cute family.

While in Phoenix we went to a place called Bounce Jungle. The kids loved it. It had all sorts of slides, tunnels, climbing and bounce things.

Ashley and her friend and their kids came with us. It was a lot of fun.

We also brought my nephew Anson with us. He really liked it to.

Even Linnea had fun!

Ryland, Anson, Dandin, Ethan, and Tasia.

For those of you who don't know, Jeff has been working in Phoenix for the last couple of months and commuting every other weekend. He was supposed to come home for the weekend, but he ended up throwing his back out. So I took the kids down to visit him. Luckily it was the kids spring break. The whole week we were there, Jeff was on his back. The kids enjoyed cuddling and watching movies with Daddy and just spending time with him. They miss daddy lots.

Dandin loves to color.

Handsome Ryland

What a beautiful smile.

Linnea is such a happy baby. Always smiling.
