This boy is so handsome. He's really started to grow and walk around. He has started to talk so much, and he loves to say "Dada".

Growing Kids
This boy is so handsome. He's really started to grow and walk around. He has started to talk so much, and he loves to say "Dada".

Grandma and Aunts!
Here's Naomi in her Pretty Easter dress. :-) She also has a pretty fusia flower in her hair and pink shoes with white "frilly" socks. Woops, picked the wrong pic.
Here's Tustin getting ready for church today. We've been doing really well at getting dressed very appropriately and in our Sunday best for church. The boys all have belts, ties, black shoes and a nice white shirt and black slacks.
Naynay sitting in her pretty dress
Tracker getting his shoes on.
Here's Aunt Molly and Tell! Aunt Molly is so beautiful.
While I was in Utah I got to meet with these sweet ladies! It was sooo fun! Grandma is wonderful. I got to meet all the other friends at the rehab center. It was great. While I was there they were having an ice cream "social" (no one really talked except for the Aunts and Grandma) and we sat next to one gal, I can't remember her name. She was given ice cream before we got there, but hadn't touched it and didn't want it. So we started eating it and sharing it back and forth between us. Well this gal was sitting in between us and as we were passing it, she grabbed it and started scarfing it down! Haha! Guess she didn't care for the toppings and was just waiting for us to finish them up!
Tustin decided to take Tell sledding. Would have been a successful event except that he put him in a walker in the sled. And that would have been fine, except the walker didn't fit in the sled and was tilted to one side. And that would have been ok, except it was tilted towards the side that the sled dramatically turned at the bottom of the hill... Ya not a good idea! First battle scars. Great adventure with big brother.
Okay Jacob and Tiff! You will forever be in our debt. I have been looking and looking for the perfect pizza dough recipe. Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day is THE perfect pizza crust. Here's the before and after. The best part is that it's a quick. No planning 2 hours ahead, just pull it out of the fridge and make it up. The longest waiting is for the oven to reach 550 degrees. Mmmmm!
This picture was taken for homeschool. I got the boys a guitar to play, but we haven't actually been practicing. I visualize the boys playing beautifully someday just like their Grandpa and me singing along. Can't wait!
These are the beautiful slippers that the Lowell family made us for "Christmas" I say "Christmas" because it never actually made it to us for Christmas. We JUST got them, actually. We LOVE them! And Travis got a leather covered mini book of Mormon with a pick of the Savior on the front.
This is too Sweet! Grandma and Tell looking at each other. It was so fun to see Grandma.
Tustin's big block stack, he's so proud of.
Tracker lost his first tooth. There's quite a hole in his gums where his tooth was.
Remember these kids?? I posted this for facebook, supporting traditional marriage. I had a TON of people comment, Woah you guys look so young!!! And I'm thinking, thank you, but seriously, do I look that old now?? ;-) I'd like to think they're talking about Travis, not me. lol!
Here is Travis- yes, he has such great sense of style. His Aunt Lori makes kilts for a living (and doing pretty well at it) and so he bought himself a kilt. He just HAD to add the cowboy hat, boots and clashing plaid shirt.
Random picture of my handsome boys! They are cuties.

Haircuts and other assorted stuff
Rebekah hasn't cut her hair except when I force her to trim it for the last 3 years. People have been after her for the last month to donate her hair, so she decided to go for it yesterday, and our friend Audra stopped by to give her a new do. It's really cute, and some little girl will be blessed to get Bekah's beautiful thick hair. Bekah loves the new style. It took her all of 30 seconds to brush her hair this morning.
Lizzie turned six this month and had two little friends over. This is Akata, who Lizzie just adores. I went for simple things for the party and we made hamburgers on the grill and I bought a cake. What a huge relief that was! Our kitchen was mostly clean before everyone got there...that never happens!
Jacob and John did the cooking. Can you tell Spring has arrived?! John is such a Papa's boy. He has to do everything Jacob does. It's pretty cute most of the time.
We grilled sweet potatoes, and oh man were they ever good! I had to put this up here so you all can appreciate your warm weather. I set these on the table out back, and before Jacob could get them on the grill they were frozen over!
Had to add some random baby pictures. This little girl has a special place in all our hearts. She is adored by everyone of her siblings. She's standing on her own now a little. She has Jacob wrapped around her little finger already. He will do anything for Mary Rose :)
Got these when I was home in February. Those boys are just too cute! They are darling Rachel. Samuel reminds me so much of Simi. They act a lot alike! Can't wait for them all to get together when we come home next time!

Random Pictures
Travis made a beautiful bed!! It took him a week from start to finish.
We had a visitor come to our window and eat our old flowers.
We made a telescope for science a couple weeks ago and a volcano on Friday.
Tell's happy little self and we like to torture the cat and let Tell grab him and hold him. So cute.
And Tell in his Sunday clothes from Aunt Tiff.
The pretty Holt girls. Oldest and youngest.
Also there is a picture from Christmas of us sitting around Jacob and Tiff's beautiful hand-crafted kitchen table. It's so nice being able to see everyone evenly when sitting at a round table. :)
