 Buddies in a "pillow house"


 Bath time

 Taryn "painting" with shaving cream

 Yep, this is how we often read scriptures

 Messy play

 Taryn loves to comb/do my hair

 What a cute, cute!

 We do Corbin's hair sometimes too

 This poor kid with his second round of pink eye (he catches everything!)

 Just like his big brother, with the shaking and spinning and everything that goes along with playing video games.

Easter and Conference Weekend

We had a great Easter/Conference weekend.  The Easter bunny has been coming to our house on Saturday which helps us to focus more on the Savior and the true meaning of Easter on Sunday.  It worked out pretty great this year with General Conference falling on Easter Sunday this year.

 (This may not be from Easter, but it was a cute picture of Corbin)

 He approved of the donuts

 And so did Taryn

 Can you tell that many of our traditions revolve around food?

 Which makes Corbin a happy camper-he finally has a day or two where he doesn't have to fight us to get what he wants.

 Playing with some new chalk from Taryn's easter basket

 A fun neighborhood easter egg hunt between conference sessions


Turns out I didn't take too many pictures of Easter (or of life lately for that matter).  We had a super fun brunch and egg hunt with cousins at Oma and Opa's house the weekend before.  They dyed an egg, played silly games, had the best easter egg hunt ever, and loved being with their Wilson side cousins!  On Easter Sunday, we had the Braby side over for dinner with more cousin fun!

St. George-10 years!

Happy 10 year Anniversary to us!  We decided to go earlier than May 7 (I think it was beginning of April?) due to my pregnancy.  The farther along I get, the harder it is for me to sleep any other place than my bed.  We went to St. George years ago when I was 9 months pregnant with Reed, and I literally woke up crying several times a night because my hips hurt so bad.  

We went on a short, easy hike that was still enjoyable.  The weather was perfect.  Who knew the desert could be so pretty?  We also had dinner and played games with some great friends, Ann and Brian, who were our neighbors years ago in Orem.  We miss them so much and it was so fun doing what we used to do.  We also saw another favorite family, the Malufaus, who so graciously fed us a delicious Sunday dinner.  On top of that, we did a session at the St. George Temple (we were definitely the youngest there which was kinda fun, though I'm pretty sure I was going at the same pace as the older couples).  
We had a great time, filled with friends and enjoying the outdoors a bit.  Not as much a "foodie trip" like Austin was, but it was still wonderful to get away for a couple days.




(Yep, we brought our huge mattress pad to go on top of the hotel bed.  Kevin was so embarrassed. haha  That's love). :)

Taryn turned 4

At the beginning of January, Taryn turned 4.  It really is a horrible time to have a birthday.  Not only is it right after Christmas, but this mom is tired out and not really in the mood to throw any birthday parties.  However, this little girl had been talking about her supposed birthday party for months, so we of course had to follow through.

Party at home with family:


Yes, the candles got a bit close.


Daddy had to hold her hair back because, yes, it had caught fire!  


No pictures to show, but Grandma (aka Taryn's favorite person) had to come to the family party as well.  She came bearing gifts....puzzles


and a girly, pink superhero cape!


Mom and Dad got her a tiny dog house for one of her many stuffed dogs.

Friend party:


 Pin the nose on the snowman


 A few friends


 Stringing candy necklaces



Reed "hugging" Taryn and Jace


 The whole crew: Livvie, Marley, Taryn, Reed, Jace, Aaron, and Lincoln


 Balloon war!



 Decorating cupcakes


 The cutest birthday girl ever


 Taryn was the last at the table eating her treats (surprise, surprise).  The girl loves food.


Opening presents.  Her friends (or their mom) knows Taryn well.  She got a cupcake shirt. :)
