Bye Royce and Lauren

Royce and Lauren

Royce and Lauren, Brent and kids and us!

My cute Mom and Tatton

Well Royce got a new job in Connecticut so the two of them are moving away. It's so sad to see them go. Royce left already to start work and to find a place to live and then Lauren will join him in a few weekson a road trip with her Mom and brother Parker and Roy and Keebs bringing up the rear with all their stuff. I talked to Royce yesterday while he was sitting in Vegas during a lay-over. I got pretty bummed, it hasn't really sunk in that he's gone, and that they'll both be gone soon. But I got a little choked up after I got off the phone for some sad reason. This past Saturday they had a little get together up at the Jone's Lodge. We took a few pics of the family that was still there... we were a tad late! Good luck to you guys and you'll have such a great experience out there. You're going to be missed. Royce is already... Love You!

Pineae Greenhouse

Last Saturday we went on a little venture down to Aaron's Dad's greenhouse with Brent and Kristin and the kids. Brent was like a kid in a candy store, I was not aware of his fascination for plants so hopefully it made you're Father's Day Brent!! It was pretty interesting to see the whole set up. There are lots of cool watering machines, which because of me not paying attention Tatton got sprayed once...he's fine, and machines that do planting as well. Seeing so many plants all layed out was really pretty. Thanks for coming with us kiddos!!

This was one of my favorite hanging plants that we discovered. They were just so cool how they had the little bulbs hanging and then they bloom into a really neat purple flower. I forgot the names of them though...

Splish Splash

This was Tatton's first swimming adventure. He LOVED it! He was literally out of control. You can't tell from the pictures but he was splashing and kicking like crazy, his whole body was just wiggling uncontrollably. It was so funny.

Viva Las Vegas

We had such a good time in sunny Las Vegas!! Yes we left Tatton at home with Grandma's (Thank You Thank You!!) and I must admit I cried, a few times. It's really hard to leave that little guy. But it was still good to get away. We relaxed at the pool during the hot day and then went out in the evenings. We can't wait to go back again.

Mantua Camping

We set out for Mantua for our Ward Campout!!

Aaron had a good time setting up the tent as usual... It was fun to sit around the campfire with Tatton and talk with friends from our ward.

Tatton slept really well through the night, I didn't though. I think I woke up about every hour to check on him! It was a blast, we're excited to go camping some more this summer!

Fun In The Sun!

We've finally been able to see some sun lately so we had to take advantage of it while it lasted. We got Tatton these sweet shades at Target. I love them. They stay on him so well and he actually really likes them too. Usually as soon as he hits the sun he starts blinking and bobbing his head uncontrollably like it's blinding him. But with his glasses he's just happy as can be.

We met up with Natalie and Sheldon and had a fun round of Mini-Golf over at what used to be known as Mulligan's. They've changed the name and added a lot more stuff over there now. We had a blast. I had a sad experience of feeling like the worst Mom ever though. I forgot to bring his sunscreen. I know how terrible is that? I had put some on him earlier that day but we were mini-golfing at 6:30 right in the sunset and it was so warm. I felt so bad thinking that I was going to fry my own kid but luckily the sunscreen from earlier must have still worked or he just has good skin. He wasn't a lobster afterwards, phew!

Natalie and Sheldon... we're waiting for Tatton to have a little buddy or girlfriend!!

Tatton was Aaron's good luck charm...

We caught a late movie to top the night off. We went to Iron Man which I was a little reluctant about but it really is a good movie. I just didn't picture Robert Downey Jr. as a super-hero type but he did a good job. It was a funny movie and completely clean for kids, we enjoyed it a lot!

Mother's Day

It's a bit delayed, but I had a great Mother's Day. We were able to visit both our Moms on Mother's Day. They are the best Moms and we love them so much. I don't think we ever go a few days without talking to them or vegging at one of their houses. We were able to go to church with Mary Sue, and got to see my Mom, Keebler at our bbq. This is for Keebler, we're glad she's doing better after her horseback riding mishap!

Sunday morning I woke up to Tatton's face in the video monitor just gabbing away. Aaron had put him in a shirt that said "my mom is hot." I went downstairs to find Aaron in his shirt that says "I love hot moms." They had breakfast all made for me and these beautiful flowers from Tatton.

This is the reason I get to celebrate Mother's Day. He's my little boy and I love him so much. He's brought so much joy to Aaron and I. We are so blessed and happy to have him. He is such a good sleeper, I mean obviously looking at this picture he's just so peaceful. We have been so lucky to be able to get sleep with this one. We can only hope all of our kids will do the same.

My two little boys...

So for Mother's Day my Mom and Dad got all of us kids a Wheat Grinder. I was so darn excited. Keebler makes the BEST wheat bread. With having our own grinder we were finally able to grind our own fresh wheat to make our own bread. They've been turning out great. They don't quite look like Keebler's but it's a work in progress. We can finally remove ourselves from the bread delivery Mom, yay!

Cousin Kru!

Tatton's cousins Kort and Kody play baseball for Weber High School. Tatton and I got to go to one of their games with Grandma Gold. Jody was there with Kru and they had some fun in the sun. The boys are really good at baseball, it was fun to be able to watch them. They won their game easy to Davis.
We also got to go spend a day up at Grandma Gold's home. Tatton was in heaven with his cousins Jace and Kru. They spoiled him all day long. Those three cute little boys look like they're gonna be trouble.

Food!!

Tatton finally got to eat real food! I think I was a little more excited about it than he was. We weren't supposed to start until this week but I just couldn't wait any longer. He ended up loving his cereal. He was so excited for every bite, and still is. He didn't do too bad figuring out how to swallow. It was pretty funny watching him with this completely new experience. I feel so blessed to be his Mom.

Ride 'Em Cowboy...

A little gift from Grandma Richards, a dinnasour for T-Rex. Not bad for his first ride
