Jonny and the boys for St. Patrick's Day. It wouldn't be complete without green everything, and Jonny dressed up for school. Dillon is showing off his tats.
Deakin's Tats as well...
Peace at last.
We had the West family over for a party. The kids had to move the table right up next to the TV. I laughed because that would make sense with our old little tv, but we finally broke the bank and bought a decent size tv, and they still sit right up next to it. Hahaha. Oh well.
Our old bishop, Bishop Wilde knew how much Deakin loves tractors so he invited him to come and help him plow his field. Deakin was in heaven and didn't stop talking about it for months. I think the Bishop was anticipating 20-30 minutes. We kept calling to see if he wanted us to come and get him, but Deakin didn't want to be done yet. 2 hours later (and some soda and treats for the Bishop) we got him off the tractor! What a great man.
Picking rock. Our second jobs.
Deakin. Evidence that he takes over our bed nearly every night. But, he is such a cute little snuggler, it's hard to be upset.
Deakin learned to ride his bike this year. He was only 3, and I was wildly proud as his mama!
Gramma coming to visit and trade pedi's.
Aunt Dawna gave us a popcorn maker for Christmas with buckets and salts. We have loved making popcorn for movie night, which is usually the show Merlin.
Deakin learned to ride a friends bike at the rec center. He just took off, and literally hasn't stopped riding ever since. If it is raining, he brings his bike inside and rides all of the basement.
Adore this proud little face.
Boys smell....less now. Ahh.
Not sure what that face is about, but we sure love this goofy little kid.
I had to snap this picture because Dillon sleeps just like his daddy...arms over his head, half in and out of the covers.
One of our first outings for the spring. Deakin's face says it all, it was freezing. We took a picnic, but it didn't last long. The sodas turned into hot cocoa as soon as we got home.
My cute little Dillon. Love his blushing cheeks.
First outing to the park in spring. Brrrrr.
Fast forward, way out of order....Dillon's first day of second grade. I am such a sappy mother. I keep thinking that it will get easier every year, but no such luck. I cry every year as I send him on his way. He loves school, his friends, and his teachers.
We ate hot cookies when he got home from school to discuss his first day. I love all of these little things about being a mother.
Our neighbors had 10 cute little puppies, and Deakin was in heaven when they invited us over to play with the little darlings. If Deakin had his way we would have a petting zoo in our backyard. (not happening).
We hiked down to the lake and went swimming for a couple hours. I have said this before, and I'll repeat myself; I love living in an area where people come to vacation. The mountains and lakes are 5-10 minutes away. We had a great time packing in lunch and swimming. Cousin Jake came with us. Side note, Deakin had a freak out about walking through these flowers. Spazz! (In his defense, they were a little pokey and there were some bees around).
Grandma and Grandpa Case organized a really fun campout up at the Girls Camp. Dillon was so brave and made it all the way through the challenge course. He was pretty hesitant to do the zip line once at the top...I have a super funny video of the event where the lady eventually just pushed him off. Lol!
