Playing in the Bathtub with cousin Dawson...



Chuck watched Ander and Dawson for Robyn and i yesterday so we could go see a movie, what an awesome guy, right? The boys played out in the yard most of the time while we were gone while Chuck did some yard work. Chuck told us that right after we left, Dawson ran full speed out to the yard and fell on top of a dirt pile and scratched up his whole face. He was a trooper though and didn't even cry. You will seehis scratched up face in the pics. When Robyn and i got back from the movie, we decided to give Dawson and Ander a bath together since they were so dirty. Ander blew bubbles, while Dawson splashed and splashed and they had quite the fun time. I love seeing those 2 boys play together, they are too funny and cute!!

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Barkley's...

Ander and Brielle had a fun little Easter egg hunt yesterday, but they were mostly just interested in blowing bubbles and eating their candy, of course. Ander is wearing his scroungy clothes in these pics, since he had a big blowout all over his other clothes as soon as we got to grandma's house. How nice hu? :)




Happy Easter!




Ander's first professional haircut...


I had my friend Katie cut Ander's hair last week for his first "real" haircut. Chuck usually just buzz's Ander's hair, but i wanted him to look super cute to meet his grandparents and for Easter. He was such a good boy and looked so handsome.

My Parents are finally Home!!

My sick boy who did not want to look at the camera

Mom and Dad coming down the escalator when we first saw them.
Yummy breakfast at Mimi's Cafe with most of my fam.
Most of my family and Chuck, Ander, and i all met my parents at the airport at 7 am this past Saturday morning to welcome them home. Ander had been sick the day before with really bad diarrhea, but he didn't go at all in the night, so we thought it would be safe to take him with us in the morning. We all met at Mimi's Cafe after the airport to have breakfast and as soon as we walked in the door, Ander threw up all over the place, including all over himself and Chuck. Chuck took Ander straight home after that and i got to stay and eat and chat with my fam and go to my parents house after as well. I felt so bad for my little guy, but he was feeling much better yesterday for Easter, which was a relief. It is so nice to finally have my parents home. I know they had such an amazing mission and were so blessed to be there, but it sure is nice that they can now be around more and see their grandkids. I am also excited that my parents got to come home to a house with new paint and carpet and they will be buying all new furniture and a new car, so they can have a fresh new start with everything nice and new. My camera was not working so well, so i only got a few good pics, but it sure was a good day (except for Ander being sick).

Our New Fish Friends...

Since i was out of town last weekend, Chuck decided to take Ander to Cabella's and buy him some fish and a fish tank. Ander calls all of the fish "little Nemo's". Of course, one of the fish have already died. I personally think they are a waste of money, but what can you do it if makes your kid and husband happy.

Girls Trip!!

Trista, Jenn, Katie, and i all headed to good ol' St. George last weekend for some much needed breaks from our mommy jobs. Although the weather wasn't as warm as we would have liked, it was still a really fun time. We ate a ton, shopped, laughed our bums off, got pedicures, and had our hair done for a very professional photo shoot. :) We didn't stay up as late as we used to and we only got ready once, which was just fine with me. Ander did not like me coming home at all. He cried and cried and wanted daddy to do everything for him, but by the next day, he was back to loving me a little bit more. (He still prefers his daddy over me most of the time anyway) :( I only took 2 pics on our trip, but i am hoping that Jenn can send me the ones that she took. I really dislike any pics taken of me at this point in my pregnancy anyway, but i know i need to be better about that. Thanks again girls for a fabulous weekend, i hope we can get away together more in the future!
