SNOW

Apparently I spoke too soon as we got at least 4 inches of snow today!

Spring is in the Air

I've seen the crocus and the tulips peeking their little heads out of the soil. Spring is definitely in the air. I love it, 'cause I know that means BERRY SEASON is on its way!
Tesher grows more and more every day. He is teething right now, but this too will pass. He is starting to give kisses and they just melt my heart. They are now my favorite thing in the whole world.
He loves having a babysitter and practically kicks us out of the door when the girls come. He is starting to sleep better which is finally a relief! I can actually put him down without him waking up.
Valentine's day was great! We went to a Stake dance for adults and had a really fun time with great company, music and food!

I can put on my own hat!


Ahhhh!

Happy New Year

Hello to all! We enjoyed a "White Christmas" here in the Great Northwest. We have some snow left from the last couple storms and more piling up as we speak. We hope Santa found your houses as he was a bit late getting to our house due to the weather. Good thing Tesher doesn't know the difference.

I have a new nephew! Welcome Jackson! We love you already!

I am working up the courage to have surgery in Seattle on Tuesday. Hopefully I will be home after not too many days and I really hope Tesher remembers me. I am pretty sure he won't be thrilled with me not being here 24/7. Not sure what he will do (or what I will do)! Although, he did spend most of one day last week at the Mayberry's and he didn't want to come home when we finally got there. Yes, I am a new Mom and I am sure he will be fine... Right?

Almost Christmas

Hello to all! So my friends have been giving me a bad time that I have posted in a while. Here goes! Tesher turns one tomorrow, Sunday the 21st. This is the fastest year to ever cruise by me in my entire life. Maybe it is due to sleep deprivation? Either way...We are excited to celebrate!

Thanksgiving was fun shared with friends and family. Looking forward to Christmas this week. I wish there were more choices for magnetic toys for toddlers. I've found only 2 that would really apply to a one-year-old and neither is that great. Any suggestions? Tesher loves magnets.

Samuel made a quick trip to Vegas and So. Utah this week. We are glad he's home. He did get to visit with his brother, sister, mother and father. Tesher was sick most the time Samuel was gone and we didn't get much done.

Wow... I see why I can't do this very much! I don't have anything to say... writers block, I guess.

LOVE CHRISTMAS

I am so excited to head into the holiday season! I can't wait for Tesher's first, or I mean, second Christmas. His first Christmas we were in the hospital and he was 4 days old. So last year was a bit of a whirl-wind. I think we are going to wrap up a bunch of empty boxes, 'cause all he really likes is the box and the paper! We are probably going to go get our Christmas Tree in the next week or so! That way it can be Christmas for a really long time at our house!

Trick-or-Treat

Trick-or-Treat?

This year's Halloween extravaganza starred Samuel as the Cat-in-the-Hat with Tesher and Azada as Thing 2 and Thing 1, respectively. Tina was the Bride of Frankenstein. Tesher had great fun Trunk-or-Treating and playing with all the kids at the Branch Party. The real question is.... What to do next year! Hope you all have a very SPOOKY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Fall

So we learned how to set up a blog at an enrichment activity... so here I am. I have no idea what I am doing.



We grew a pumpkin patch this year. We picked a few to take Tesher's picture in. You get a bunch of pictures to see because I couldn't decide which one to post.



We have our Branch Trunk or Treat party tomorrow. I will post pics when I get them. Should be fun.

Tina's First Post

This is my first post! Isn't Tesher so cute?
