Pearson is Crawling!

I have been enjoying Pearson being a baby and there hasn't been much pressure on him to grow up quick. So when he started moving backwards a couple of weeks ago. I felt like screaming no! He soon got very frustrated with only being able to go backwards and would get stuck in the strangest places and someone would have to go save him. So last week i decided he needed to figure out how to go forward! He picked up pretty quickly and now follows me around the house whimpering!!!HaHa thats what i get!

Here he is chasing me into my bedroom

Then here is mad at me since when i walked out of my bedroom i did not pick him up and take him with me!!!

Oh and here is a picture of my last cake i made for T.J.'s Birthday. It isn't starred like the other cakes i have made but it was alot quicker this way. And i have to say for as little of time that i did have it turned out alright. Well i guess in the end as long as the cake tastes o.k. nobody really cares what it looked like before anyway!!!!!

More of T.J.

I couldn't resist putting more pictures of T.J. on in his cowboy hat. Some of them were just sooooo funny. He seems to just loves the hat and wants to wear it everywhere! And he is way to persistent lately!

T.J. the cowboy!!!

So for his birthday T.J. wanted cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. He only got the hat since we couldn't find any boots to go over his prosthetic! He decided that he could just wear his work boots. "because cowboys do a lot of work"

And what cowboy we be any good without his gun

And of course with T.J. a sword.

And T.J. doesn't go anywhere with out his "other" Guns!

Topher

This morning i woke up very tired and had a lot to get accomplished. Sent Toph to go take a shower and ten minutes later he comes back holding his lower stomach saying it really hurts. Tyler said he was probably faking so he didn't have to go to school, and then tyler headed to work. I thought maybe if he ate something he would feel better so i got him breakfast. He started moaning really bad and sad the pain had moved to his side. I started to believe he was really in pain. But decided he probably just had to go to the bathroom. That didn't work either he was on the coach moaning and holding his side. He couldn't even stand up with out starting to cry. I proceeded to give him Tylenol and to see what would happen. After a little while when it still didn't let up, I went to my back up plan of calling my mom. She said to watch him for awhile and if it didn't get better to take him in. So i waited and it only seemed to be getting worse. I finally decided i better take him in just in case it was his appendix. Dropped T.J. and Pearson off at my mom's. Oh yeah Topher had to practically crawl to get to the car. By the time we pull into the dr.'s office he says it might not hurt quit as bad anymore but still kind of hurtss. We go in and find out that it was GAS!!! Still amazes me everytime that gas pains could be that bad. He didn't even really cry when he broke his arm. So he has a pretty high pain tolerance. All i have to say is that was some really bad gas!!!!!

Pictures

So for Easter the kids all got new church clothes!!! I thought since we were getting all dressed up to go to church we should take some family pics! I was so excited since we haven't had a real family pic with Pearson in it yet. We drove up to the hills to try for a background i think we found a fairly good one but in the end it didn't work very well. It was windy which not only was messing up me and creedance's hair but Pearson couldn't breathe very well and kept gasping. OH yeah and both Topher and T.J. decided it was to bright and kept squinting!

T.j. looks so stinkin cute in his suit!!!!I just love this one of Topher

One of the two attempts at the family picTried shooting them in front of the bus which got better but t.j. still covered his face and we couldn't get pearson to look at the camera!

The kids really did like it better when they could sit in the bus!!

Shriners, The Cabin, and Easter!!!!

Last week was spring break for the kids, and T.J.'s foot started hurting him right after we got the bigger foot three weeks ago. So we decided we would try to take the whole family down to Salt Lake to get T.J. a new foot. We started this all out on Wednesday morning after the kids played hard with their cousins on Monday and Tuesday. We left town before nine and barely made it to Shriners in time for T.J.'s appointment(Pearson picked this trip to tell us how much he hates the car, and not everybody could go to the bathroom at the same time!!!). The kids laughed and played in the play land at Shriners and thought it was really cool that there was an Alvin and the chipmunks life sized Chipmunks there!

We then drove down to Provo to our hotel room we got there. We then headed down to Spanish fork so that we could go out to dinner with my sister Rachel, My brother Nathan and his family. We had a really good time, the kids love their relatives. After dinner Nate, Rachel, and Boston came to the hotel and went swimming with us. It was a lot of fun!!!!!!

We asked for fun ideas for things to do in the Salt Lake area since little kids don't really like to go shopping like i do!!! But alas it snowed the night we were there and our options got a whole lot smaller! After the T.J.'s first appointment first appt. in the morning we headed to the aquairum which was a lot of fun! We then went to another appt., stopped at one mall for me on the way home. And ended up not getting home until 10 that night!! What a long day!!!!

Friday we got unpacked and then packed again to head up to my parents cabin for the weekend! (I can't believe how much laundry i had to do when we got done with the weekend!!!) The kids were very excited! They love going to the cabin and having Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Dave around the whole time. It was my dad's birthday on Friday so when we got there mom had dinner and cheesecake ready. Yumm!!! I love cheesecake!!!

Saturday the kids played in the snow and decorated eggs, the men went snowmobiling, all in between confrence sessions. Then we drove into West Yellowstone so the men could go to the Priesthood session and Mom, me, and the kids went to the hotel with the swimming pool and "Swirly Slide". The kids wore me and mom out pretty quickly and we couldn't wait for the men to get back and let them play with them. When it was time to head back it was snowing really hard and you couldn't see very far in front of the car. We made it back safely, though our van didn't make it up to the actual driveway of the cabin!!!!!

Easter morning was great!! The kids found all the eggs they had decorated the day before. They each found their baskets. I also got the boys new black suits, and Cree got a new black and yellow dress. I can't wait to take pic's of them in there new outfits!!! I can't believe we didn't get any pictures' up there!

Oh Yeah quite funny that the kids got their first snow day yesterday. Everybody thinks it is quite funny how much it snowed in April in one night!!!!
