Early Birthdays

Turns out that as a grand child you get more than one birthday a year. We had a lot of fun w/ the two little munchkins, Dallin and Mackenzie. The big, little munchkin, Anne, was also celebrating in total joyousness. They are so sweet and we had a fun little party together. Thanks, grandma and grandpa!

Life is a Testimony

To Dallin, life is full of good, exciting things, like crackers. And this blessing alone is enough to bear pumped-up testimony of -- often! Heavenly Father has indeed given us so very much that we can be thankful for. For us, our children, Dallin and Mackenzie, have been a huge blessing. They are so fun (if you can't tell)!

Little Bean Sprouts

The little kiddies are growing like lil sprouts. It has been more than fun to celebrate April's birthday with them. Every day's a party.

Kids on the Loose

Dallin and Mackenzie are running wild, and it's pretty dang exciting.

Where's Maisy?


Dallin chimes in with this family podcast (or whatever you call an audio file that contains lots of jibberish out of our family's mouths). Like most of us, he enjoys hearing himself chatter at the microphone. Witness his testimony!

Mackenzie on the Move

Witness Mackenzie as she begins to learn the art of crawling. And witness Dallin as he begins to learn the art of getting his sister to clean up for him.

Thanksgiving for Kiddies

It was fun to spend this Thanksgiving with April's family and with all our cute little kiddies. They were a handful and very fun. What did we used to do with full day after day off on holidays? I'd be lost without the regular diaper schedule, and I'd be bored if I was merely tasked with dishing food out onto my own plate. And there just wouldn't be as much to be thankful for!

Skyping Sunbeams

Little Kicker

Mackenzie went from sitting still in the swing to pumping the swing pretty well, all by herself.

Another Eater

Get the wallpaper. See the album. Eat rice cereal -- lots!

Roll Over, Mackenzie

My baby's all grown up and rollin' over.

Squarely Spring



At Temple Square, it feels like Spring. It was fun chasing Dallin around the temple grounds and carting Mackenzie around. We're all excited for Spring, and we're thankful that we can live so close to the temple!

Mackenzie's Blessing

Mackenzie's baby blessing was last Sunday. It was fantastic to have some family in town that we could celebrate with. Thank you all for coming. We love Mackenzie!

The Children of Easter



It was fun spending this holy day with our wonderful children!

Mackenzie and Dallin Wow Easter

Easter morning has never seen the likes of 2 year old Dallin. Roar!
